Thanks. You're right.
That was very kind of you, Seth.
RMGD has become a place for me where,
obviously we differ on this, I feel okay
talking about real stuff in my life sometimes,
like for my last job interview when I got so
much good help and advice from folks and friends.
But you have a very good point, and I am taking
it in.
I have started to contact agencies, as I continue to
seek employment. When my son's hours were cut,
it just tripped me out, although I am trying real
hard to remain calm and take appropriate action.
If you or any other folks feel it wasn't
appropriate to express my frustration and fear on RMGD,
that is your right and nothing wrong with saying so,
When times get really tough, you need your friends.
I do have friends here.
I'm not going to off myself, no matter how bad it gets.
This woman has come through much in her life
that was unbelievably difficult, painful, seemingly unbearable.
We gave up TV service over a month ago, BTW.
Joe would be happy about that!
Take care, and again, thanks.
And thanks to Sweets for inviting me to come out
and share the Sherpa Suite.
