Still without cable but the digital tv is not too bad with free local channels. still am able to watch the Olympics, American Idol and such. Main thing is now I am back on Mylot.

yes, and you can always watch anything you would watch on cable streaming online. i am glad that things are picking up a bit better for you. i guess all of us has had to do some cutting back on things and rebuilding again.

It seems that many people are losing more and more things and unfortunatly the internet is one of the first that many people have to let go of. I am glad that you are back and hopefully you can make some money here to help with that bill. Good luck to you and your husband!

hi sweetpeasmom sorry you had a bad few months, and its really a bummer losing internet, I was off the net until I found out that I could afford time warner cable internet. I did have finally my computer and monitor that my son dug out of our storage. we had a lot of problems and still havent got out of all of it. I too was gone for 11 long months,my son was laid off, we got behind on rent, and were evicted, our stuff was in storage so I could not mylot, then my son worried for me his mom as I am 83 got me into this retirement center so I would have some sort of home, and he is in a gov.sponsored apartment with three other guys, all out of work and looking each day. I am so glad to be back on mylot again and i am glad your business is now picking up. I am hoping each day that my son will get a job finally and be able to accumulate some money. we want to get back together in an apartment but that takes real money., this year just might be the good one for us.my son is close by so he comes to see me each week and that makes being here livable.

Welcome back, hope you like the improvements! Some cool new people here, others who haven't been around so much, but mostly it's the same old lot. Fewer trolls, that's the best thing!

Welcome back! It is so good to see you back again, and I am glad to ehar that things are beginning to pick yp for you. Times are really hard, that is for sure, and sometimes I wonder how I am able to make it from month to month, but things are much better for me now, and that is a good thing too. I have had it pretty rough lately, and my money just didn't go very far, and I was lucky to have anything left at teh end of the month, before I had to do it all over again. It has been a vicious cycle but now that I will be getting money from a reverse mortgage, then I will be abloe to pay off some of my bills that I need to pay. I do have an extra income but it only goes so far, so getting the money from my reverse mortgage, will really help me and help me to have more money each month, now that I don't have to pay my mortgage anymore, as that would really cut into what I get each month. I am so glad to hear though when things get better for people as the enonomy is really bad. Good luck to you and happy mylotting.

Welcome back, it is great to see you on here. I know the economy has hit everyone pretty hard and believe me it has hit my husband and I also. We have not lost the house, Internet (my husband and I need it because we use it for school) and the Satelite tv. I have lost the cell phone a few months ago as well. I am hoping that we can get those back eventually.
