Well, perhaps it is not the worst thing that can happen because there are some issues I have with him. Even so, I really need the money from rent and I am a bit frightened now. The money I get is enough to cover MOST of the bills, not all of them. So that puts me in quite a quandary. I am contacting everyone I know who may be able to help me find someone to move into one of the basement rooms. In my panic, I even thought about giving away the cats--at least Stinker because he is on a special diet and because he is, everyone is. It would put $50-$100.00 in my pocket each month. My gosh I cannot do it--the boys except for Leonardo only know me and have only lived with me. They were born in my apartment before I moved here to this house. A friend recommended I sell the house and move to an apartment. lol. It is actually cheaper to pay the taxes here than it is to pay for an apartment! Those of you who pray, can you please pray that someone good comes along. I am growing towards my whits end right now because I have no way to get enough extra cash to get me through my needs. I'm sure some people have been in a position where they can't pay everything with what they have coming in. I myself have been there most of my life, even when I worked I never could manage to hold down a job long because of my bad memory, so I had to choose all the time between food, phone, gas and lights and gas for my car to get to job interviews and hopefully a job. I went without heat at times. At least now I get foodstamps, and enough of them to manage. There was a time they only gave me $10.00 because heat was included in the rent. Isn't that something? How can you take in under $600.00, pay rent, car insurance and buy food too? I'm so panicking right now, thinking of those very long and many lean times in my life. What would you do in my situation if you could not find a renter right away?
