Guest guest Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 Well guys, I live in South Texas where it is doggone hot! and usually pretty dry. We're in a drought right now, but we have had some humidity..and let me tell you, I've been in tremendous pain~and extreme tiredness. I don't know if it's the weather or something else...I also think allergens in the air affect my pain level. It seems the more my body has to fight outside influences, the worse I feel. I'm in a pretty bad flare right now and can't seem to pull out. Got a booster shot of medrol on Wed., am up to 35 mg of pred and even had my Orencia infusion on Friday. I can still barely function. I'm getting PO'd big time. Oh well, must cope and carry on. Thanks for letting me vent. in TX [Norton AntiSpam] Re: Weather causing pain? If I could afford it Kirk, I think CA is where I would go. I dont like the cold either but it seems the hummid kills me too. I need warm and dry Ann Fultz Recent Activity a.. 17New Photos Visit Your Group Yahoo!

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 No one could EVER pay me ENOUGH to move to California!!!! No that I hate all Californians, but I despise their laws & policies that seem to get rammed down the rest of the Nations' throats!!! Nice state, some good people, but by far the screwiest government I've ever read about!! Kirk. PS...please don't flame me on this...I have my reasons. Northern Cali should seceed from Southern Cali, and we should let Mexico have from LA county south back. Just my opinion. 2008/6/8 Fultz : > If I could afford it Kirk, I think CA is where I would go.

One income in NY is not better we too live out of town but not to far about 20 minutes and we rent a house for 800 that a great deal for this areal this house would go for 2000 or more near the city of Ithaca. Im going to food give aways and humbling myself to do so. We made 100 to much to get food stamps because they say that the money my ex is giving me for back medical bills is income. I was like I already paid the bills its his half owed me. They dont care! So me being the honest women I am telling all the money coming if from Russ and childsupport and the little extra in my child support of 25 a check for back money owed me for kids medical bills shot us over the limit.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 It is sad but ya they count every cent even if it is not yours as long as some one in the house gets it they count it. I also could not believe they counted the step daughters welfare as income and that was before she got it. they said well she will get it so it has to be added in . but if your like us if you do not tell them I would be the one caught and then they ban you from it and call it welfare fraud. so like you we make to much and yet no were near enough. I know my house rent I am so luck do wish it had a garage to putter in but o well the rent is cheaper then an apartment or any other house but we get woke up 5 am every day when they bring the buses of workers in and start the tractors for the day but at night and the evenings it is great and most Saturdays they do not work but it is 6 days a week 5 to 5 . so we put up with it all because it is cheap but have been thinking about moving closer but will not do it tell we can save at lest 100 a month doing that and with gas going up all the time it may happen sooner then we thought as right now it would be 50 bucks cheaper even with the higher rents as has school 5 days a week so that's 60 miles just for it not counting docs and kids and shopping so ya we do over the 12,000 miles a year LOL but the insurance we only do about 5,000 so that helps a year the rednecks Marty & G.
