She is going to be mad when she gets home

I'm sure sorry to hear about your brother, Jo Ann.

@1creekgirl Thanks, it was cancer. He put up a good fight for years.

@bunnybon7 I am by myself and doing laundry today so I can maybe go to church tomorrow.

@LadyDuck oh my that's scary.

yes I haven't let her know. So far she hasn't looked at my facebook page. Not sure it's going to help this time though. No one has contributed. Starting to think most of the world is having financial problems.

@bunnybon7 This is a reality Bonnie, even the Vatican yesterday announced that they have financial problems.But this sounds ridiculous and an excuse for sure.

thank you

@bunnybon7 You're welcome.. Cheers!

I am not just needing caught up. I am needing to eat here and have the electric stay on cause I have paid that only to realize another bill is due because of being behind so far. what with late fees and overdrafts I am wondering if I will ever catch up. thank you for your good wishes

Sometimes that entails your stamina, strength and what those jobs were. good for you that you are able The first 2 times over the yrs. I was put on oxygen I did get myself off it. This last time has just proven my lungs are too far gone. I already explained why I am behind. It's easier for people that can get medicaid. But I can;t. For some reason their math comes out that my getting 20 dollars over the poverty level covers when I need 400 dollars over my usual charges and any other emergency that has popped up. Like tags on the car and a new refridgerater we had no money to buy so had to rent to own and pay twice what it's worth over time, etc. I could go on and on but with your mind set it requires more then I am able to explain in one post. long story.

@andriaperry okay you are right there

@bunnybon7 But my point is, if you have no place to live power bills or fridges makes no difference. You always pay rent first, then ask for help from people for the other needs.

dreaded I meant like put off for too long. therefore taking more work in the long run

yes ! you got it. Finally someone understands how that happens.

@bunnybon7 here in PA they cannot deny you emergency care even if you can't pay. I'm not sure but I don't think they can deny you care at all even if it's not an emergency. I hate how banks charge a fee for overdrafting. We should just have some kind of notice that alerts us our funds weren't enough and that's it then not allow us to put that payment through. They aren't adding interest to your bill so that's good at least

@shaggin some are still adding interest to my bills.

I am not totally sure. how they work. I just think though they can refuse to take me if I have to go to emergency. I know last time I went for a scan they wanted money up front 215. dollars copay Daughter wrote them a check cause I had no money in my account and she got charged for over draft at her bank after it anyway I have let quite a few go my oxygen is up to 82 dollars owed from 20 bucks a month. that's just one bill there. See what I mean? My daughter keeps saying don't worry but if I do nothing this is what happens. You just get charged more for what you don't have.

that is what I have been doing but at that still getting farther behind and no money to even eat on at the end of my month which is in the middle of everyone elses. a months pay is hard to figure these days because of how everything keeps going up but your pay check.

@bunnybon7 are there food pantries or churches that can help with food ?

@Tampa_girl7 I think there are but my daughter says you need referals and when she gets a day off she just don't do it yet.

me too. Now if I can just get enough people to share, there may be some folks out there with some money on their friends lists cause I know not every body on my friends lists has any money. A lot of them are having problems also in this economy. One more boost or leg up should get me back on the right track hopefully

@bunnybon7 I hope it does.

maybe today?

thank you

thank you. it just doesn't seem to be getting any better either

there may be but I have not found any yet and not sure what to do.Lots of times I research and apply for things only to find there is a hitch and I don't qualify anyway and have wasted my time for nothing. starting to look like the go fund me is not working this time either. Too many people now in the same boat

@cperry2 it just got a donation of 100 last night from a dear friend here. So looks like just slow getting started

@bunnybon7 I am sorry to hear that.

so sorry. I guess our country is not the only one with citizens falling behind

yes they charge for the machine and extra tanks for going out. But if you can get Medicaid you pay nothing. unfortunately I don't qualify because I get 20 bucks over the poverty limit from the way they do their math. which does not make up for the extra paid out for when my medications raise the prices and we have some catastrophe most every month here lately like tags coming due or something else breaking down.

@LeaPea2417 there just seems to be no way these days. I feel hopelessly doomed

@bunnybon7 There is always some catch, what if you made only 1 dollar over the poverty limit? People like you , who are just a tiny bit over the poverty limit, should still be able to get some of the Medicaid, not all but some.

thank you sweetheart. It seems like the only time things were right in my life was when I spent 8 yrs. with my late husband. Everything was perfect nearly when he was alive. We had too little time together. Though it may be harder for you as yours was with you many years

@jaboUK He was 64 yrs . but we had only been together 8 yrs. He was wonderful. first person to make me feel worth while, like I could do most anything I needed to accomplish. Made me a better person. But I was already 47 yrs old when we met. He was 57 yrs so we just didn't have enough time

@bunnybon7 No, I don't think it is harder for me as it was time for my husband to go. He was 88 and had had a great life, so I've accepted that. It must have been really hard to lose yours when he was comparitively young.

I have been with a lot of back pain and other things too. Lately a lot more then ever so have not been here much at all. thanks hope you feel better soon.

@ramapo17 I am not so focused lately. not sleeping well humidity still getting me down. can't afford a dehumidifier

@bunnybon7 I hope you start feeling better.

still working on it.

thank you dear. I so have often wished the same. If I suddenly got rich I would help so many people with food and rent money
