I don't know how everyone else is doing but we have been having a nightmare of a time just trying to survive! My husband is a Drywall Taper, he was with the Union here but work has come to an all stop. He hasn't worked steady since JUNE...I don't work as we have a baby and a 16 year old that requires MUCH supervision (mental health/depression)...It's finally catching up with us...There are No jobs in other areas of work here, our electric is about to be shut off, I have one day of diapers left...we wouldn't have any groceries BUt I get "foodstamps" ...we have NO Money and we are panicking!...Is anyone else having a hard time of things like this? When's it going to end? It's very discouraging when you do all you can and it's still not cutting it! I do make a little money with a few things I do on line...but man! Even the employment agencies around here don't have work!

I know what you are going through. About for or five months ago I was injured at work and temporarily was unable to do anything. It took me the better part of 4 months to heal up to the point where I could go back to work. the money was running out and the bill collectors were getting pushy. well I guess they still are being pushy. I decided to take matters into my own hands and start my own business. It was the best decision I have made in a long time. I knwo it sounds crazy to think of starting your own business, but when crazy is all you have. i'm not sending you this message out of any selfish motives. The business I started has helped me and my family tremendously. i think it can do the same for you. If you would like to take a look go to my profile page and follow the Freedom Project link. It worked for me. I'm honestly here to help, Jay

You know, I have a melaleuca business...that is just ridiculous..it's a good thing I joined for the products and not the money! A home business would be great but..I have absolutely NO MONEY..like I said everything is about to be shut off and we have nothing ...we've already sold everything we can to make ends meet..including our second vehicle..Thanks for the suggestion, it's just bad time now
