Yes...I'm still around....sorta....

Thank you honey. I've missed you so very much. Things are looking up, so it's giving me hope that things will get back to some semblance of normal soon. Love you bunches and lots of big warm hugs to you and Gissi.

Awww honey you are so very kind and sweet. I appreciate you way more than you know. Thank you so very much. Actually I'm in the town of Chico now, which is about 100 miles north of Sacramento along Highway 99 if you're looking at a map. So yes, we're a ways apart, but not too awfully far. We're checking in to low income housing around here...we got a list from the housing authority and are going to start applying next week. At least it will put us on waiting lists. Whatever you do, do NOT feel ashamed of how you're feeling. We're all going through one ordeal or another and we just need to be there for each other. I hope you get to feeling better soon honey. I hear ya on the pain. The doc just put me on Norco for my back because the Vicodin was just not doing anything anymore painwise. So far things are going good. Maybe I can have enough set aside from my school grant to actually move into a place. We'll just have to wait and see (story of my life LOL). Thank you so much for offering your home to me hon. I appreciate that so very much. I will definitely keep you posted as to what's going on. You are such an awesome friend. As soon as I get a cell phone...hopefully next week...I will PM you the number as well. Sending lots of big fuzzy warm hugs to you sweetie. You're the bestest!

Hey hunny. I just wanted to let you know that I read everything and I thank you so much. I only have a little time left on the library cpu right now. But I should be on tomorrow morning. Check your PM's....I'm going to give you a couple of my email addys if you want to get in touch with me that way. I'll email you in the morning too. Love you lots sweetie. MUAH

As I said, if you don't get housing soon, let me know. You are both more than welcome to stay with me until something comes your way. Also, how are you set for house hold stuff? You know; pots, pans, linens, dishes etc. I can help out with a bunch of that stuff and it will help me out by finding a home for it. What kind of cell phone are you looking at? I dumped my cell phone company because I was getting tired of their crap, and went with a pay as you go unit. I got the trac phone as the one I got has double minutes for the life of the phone. The first of the month I am changing to a different service (I like what they are offering) and I will have the trac phone kicking around the house....so let me know. I'll PM you my thoughts. I wish there was more I could do for you. Right now I am so very very thankful that you are out of that mess. Before I forget I'll pass on a few tips on the college stuff. First, find out what books you need for your classes. If you can find out ahead of time check Amazon, Ebay and other used text book companies online. You also should let me know the classes and what books are needed as I might have them in my library...I'm not too good about selling off my books. Check out and register with EOPS, the one here offers book vouchers, gas vouchers, a certificate for a free lunch, and they also have a text book lending library. They can help you through 90 units. Along with that, make sure that you register with the disabled student's program. It helps a bunch with different medical problems and letting the instructors know about them. I'm registered, and one of the biggies is that I have to elevate my legs as much as possible. The teachers here don't want people "kicking back" and having feet on the furniture...but they can't do anything to me. Also the disabled students program makes sure that if you need things like note takers or any other assistance that you get it. I also am eligible transportation from building to building on campus so that I don't have to put so much stress on my legs and back. I am still looking for a good used lap top for you. If you can't find one, would a used desk top work? I mean after you get settled. I have a desk top and can get it to you...I don't want anything for it, just knowing that you have a computer for school and for keeping up with the Lot is payment enough. Talk about bossy nosy people RIGHT? I just hate to think of you both in a homeless shelter. I'm one of those people who will rush in like a rabid fireman when others will stop and think about the consequences. I guess it could get overbearing at times, but I've been that way since I was a kid. I just got my Norco prescription refilled yesterday. I am feeling a bit better now, but still hate the fact that I hurt so badly when I try to walk. I was in the same position with the Vicodin not taking care of the pain very well. Plus I am in PT and I am not too sure that it is helping any, it seems like it works for about two hours and then I am in even more pain than before the PT. I am being scheduled for another CT scan and it will show how much more deterioration of the L1 vertebrae has occurred during the past year. I was informed that there is calcification inside the spinal canal and it is going to get worse. It is pressing on the nerves that lead to both legs...so there is no telling where the situation is going. Please take care of yourselves...and hug each other for me. I am thinking of you and praying for everything to work out quickly. Now I need to get off my fanny and clean carpet (thanks to Abby the pit/lab. I found out that she is peeing on the carpet in the workroom every night. That's going to quit, even if she is put in depends! ) and then I need to clean the family room because of CD chewing up one of his teddy bears and scattering pellets all over the place. Please take really good care and let me know if there is anything you need!

I got your PM hon and responded back. Believe me if I could have kicked him out instead, I would have in a heartbeat. But since his parents own the house, I ended up being the one up the creek without the paddle. Oh well. I'm just glad to be out of there. He still has my cats except Prance (who I hope found a good home) and I think he still has the dogs (he won't respond on that when I ask about them so I'm not sure) so maybe when I get into a place finally I can get one or two of my babies. Big hugs to you.

Thank you hon. I try to get online as much as possible. They recognize me now at the library because I try to come in every morning to take care of my computer fix. LOL! I think Karma will come back and kick both the kids in their butts, especially after I talk to the son's dad about a few things. Hopefully it will wake them up to reality, but I highly doubt it. Oh well...such is life. Sending you lots of big hugs my dear friend.

Big hugsssssss back to ya hon. Thank you.

Thank you so much sweetie. At least 5 of my other kitties are at the ex's and he is actually taking care of them. So if I get into a place maybe I can take one or two of them with me. But that's a ways down the road. Things are getting better finally. So there's a lot more hope for me now. thank you again my friend. Take care. Sending you lots of hugs.

Awww...thank you sweetie. It was so very hard to give up my babies. But I couldn't make them suffer by taking them with me and not knowing if I'd be able to even feed them or not. I cried so hard that I almost broke blood vessels in my eyes, and Amy was in tears too. I know she's really good about finding homes for furbabies. I'm hoping to get a hold of her soon, maybe next week, and see if she can tell me who has my girls. My ex still has the other 5 of my babies and he's taking care of them, thank God. Things are starting to get better finally. Thank you so much hon. Sending lots of love and hugs to you.
