Kathy,

I hope you have fun with your parents. You have a good reason for being

quiet!

I hope everything works out with your car and snow blower. That sure sounds

awfully expensive, almost like it would be cheaper to get a new one!

I¹m really sorry you couldn¹t find an attorney and had to sign the

termination papers. At least this sad chapter is behind you.

Sorry about the diabetes dx. I hope the meds help.

Have a great time with your parents.

<PRE>thanks paula. the $850 is my car!!!! i still have 5 payments on it!!!! i do

not know how much my snowblower will run. i feel like such a disappointment

to my family. 43 and they pay more than $800/mo towards my survival. they pay

my car, my aol, give me $ to survive. i am kinda glad i signed the papers but

now again i have no life insurance. i need to find some kind of part time

work i can do to try and help supplement my ssd. my son will lose his ssa in

june. (another $700/mo). you would not believe all the canned goods and

hamburger helper, mac and cheese. they brought up. my dad has been working at

winn dixie and they always run alot buy one get two free. my cabinets are

stuffed. plus i am getting a holiday basket from the city tonight too. don't

know what is in it. but i will pass on something if i can't use it. kathy in

<PRE>hey kathi, i have mixed emotions about it all. i feel horrible to have to

depend on them so much. i know i can't control that. my parents would be much

happier if i could find another husband to help me with these problems. but

like i feel worthwhile enough for that right now. i couldn't even walk my dog

today. my head has been killing me. not sure if i am coming down with

something or side effects from the new meds. i just got off the phone with

the nurse and they are getting me in at 8:45 tomorrow morning. it is only a

few miles from here. if it wasn't finals this week i'd might have my son take

me. that's how bad i feel. i think it is lowering my blood sugar. one minute

i can be fine. then i just feel icky like i'd better eat or pass out. ran

myself out of x-mas cards did laundry and will probably start baking in the

next day or two (i hope) kathy in il
