This year as it has been for many has been a rough year for us everyday it seems we get further behind with what we owe out Gary was offered by a coworker to take his on call duty for the months of June and July and he would pay him $400 plus he ggets what ever extra hrs from working seemed great So the guy paid us a couple weeks ago and the money was spent wisely mainly for meds for Nick n me Then DH's boss tells him that he can not take the guys on call and now we owe the money back to the coworker I can't sleep and have been up for an hr wracking my brain for ways to make the money somehow I have already sold whatever gold I had over the last few months we have cut back to bare minium in things Any ideas on ways to make quick money Dr says I can't stand for to long on my feet so the street corner is out lol lol
Thanks for any ideas you can think of and letting me vent
1|1|I'm so sorry, that stinks.....|kellysp6637|frugalk76@aol.com|07:18:45|05/09/2012|
How about babysitting??????
I pay a small fortune for babysitting when dh and I have date night.....(babysitters in my area are about $10-15/ hour)
Or after school care....again....I pay $120/ week just for two hours of afterschool care 5 days a week.
Or maybe pet sitting??????
Offering shopping services for elderly????
Companion sitting for elderly??? A lady down the road from me gets paid $12/ an hour to just sit with an elderly at night to make sure she doesn't need anything, etc.
Sorry you are going through this..... 4|2|paying for med|skinnje1|skinnje1@bellsouth.net|09:44:45|05/09/2012|
I dont know your situation but if your income is that low you should be able to get free medication. Call the manufacturer of your medication and ask about patient assistance progtams. This will provide reduced or free medication. 2|1|Can you work out a re-payment plan with the guy????|kellysp6637|frugalk76@aol.com|07:22:43|05/09/2012|
Explain the situation and maybe ask if he could do $200/ month until it's paid off? Just trying to think of ideas.
Or a giant yard sale? The last yard sale I had, I brought in about $160, it isn't much, but it's something. 3|1|there is good money in junk|LindaOH|Martinl3@roadrunner.com|09:23:21|05/09/2012|
I had no ideal pure old junk was worth money,my grandson cleaned out the garage next door and sold the junk for $116.00, now this was junk like a old desk chair,oven racks things like that. I guess they take anything, no wonder I see everyone out looking for junk, pop cans also sell for a high price, my hubby saves ours, sons and son-in laws and sells every 4 or 5 months and usually gets close to $100.00. SIL does drink quite a lot of beer lol wish I could help you out how about a auction Linda 5|2|U could sell me some stockpiles!!!|ptmama525|ptmama525@aol.com|10:29:45|05/09/2012|
"Do unto others as you would have others do unto you." 6|1|I'm baffled if Gary already did the work and was already paid why should he give the money back? And can't the guy just lie and say you did? Cause if he did the work then he should be paid.|Kristy|mi3zons1@yahoo.com|11:00:54|05/09/2012|

the van and get a job for so many different reason that would be helpfull I know we will get through this like we have done in the past He will be talking to a friend of ours here who always has some odd jobs to do he always seems to find something here n there
About the meds I do get some for free from my Dr's office they are always willing to help when they have the meds I take and Nicks we get with a 1/2 off discount from the company but it still is $80 as far as babysitting with my feet issues and never knowing when I will have to be off them it's hard I spent the day getting more rebates ready to go and trying to find stuff to sell
I wanted to thank you all for being here for me so I can vent and know that someone real is listening hugs to all of you

Please identify yourself in 1st email w/name/username. Due to recent problem trades, if I haven't traded w/you before, I will probably require you send your end 1st or I'll need LEGIT trade references/feedback. I will be happy to provide the same. IF you plan to hold your end til you've received mine, I will need to know that IMMEDIATELY, BEFORE trade is finalized.

I would look for assistance until you can get on your feet. Could you qualify for disability? Family First card (food stamps) I would sell my stockpiles, have garage/yardsales, coupon and rebate more.... What are your gifts? and your husbands? Start there... How about babysitting? Are you good w/crafts? You could also call church's and see where your nearest food pantry is....See were else you can cut back... car insurance? 16|1|I'm so sorry to hear this T, I will be praying for you (((HUGS)))~*~|RebekkaVA|queen_vulture@msn.com|16:41:39|05/10/2012|

the Angel Auction that was started for us I wanted to also thank those who made direct donations you all make me feel very blessed to be a part of his board and family We sat down last night and went through all our options and are putting together a game plan Gary went and spoke with a dear friend of ours and he has some side jobs around his house for himto do over the next few weeks I feel bad for him tho as at the meeting on thurs at work there were looks and chitty chatty stuff like he was a criminal grown men acting like middle school girls
On a good note I went to the eye dr for a post op check and she is very very pleased I go back in two weeks and she said we will talk about glass's which is a big step for me
21|2|We love ya, T, what can we say? :) And those 'men' at G's work need to put on their big boy pants....why is G the bad guy? He was helping out a coworker by taking that time when the other guy asked him to! :/|saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|18:33:37|05/11/2012|

22|3|I cannot believe the way people gossip and make comments|petunia1|sweetpea39@comcast.net|21:20:44|05/11/2012|
hard to ignore but try not to let it get to you. Gary is a hard worker who was TRYING TO TAKE CARE OF HIS FAMILY !!! If that is a crime than many of us are criminals, all trying to take care of those we love.
Hugs and Blessings - you will be taken care of.
