We are all here to support you! :grouphug:

A rotting animal may decompose for months. I have heard that skunk smells can linger for years. This can not be healthy for you. I would either start tearing down the drywall yourself or call a contractor. :grouphug:

I've left the wash in overnight. I thought I started the load but realize I had let it sit in cold water overnight. I added some hot water and let it cycle. Clothes were fine.

I would call her and ask her for help. If she Is a glutton for punishment, she will say yes. Lol. If not, maybe she could refer you to a co worker. You did pay her something, so maybe offer her a fee for service.
-
If she is just now getting her hair back, I would think some hair care products might be appreciated. A lovely mouse or styling gel. Or if that is to personal, I agree with bath or body skin care products.

Oh sounds like so much fun and wonderful names so far.

Infraction manager...lol. I find it hard to stay on topic, and that's why I like this board. Lol:lol:

Rather than offer judgement, I just want to extend my arms to you :grouphug:

I agree with this.
Additionally, I'd like to add that with all the changes he has been through in the last few months, and all those yet to come, it seems like he does need some sort of physical outlet. He's no doubt been dealing with a lot; maybe school as he knows it could take a back seat for a while?

Have you ever successfully trained yourself to be much more positive, joyful, content person?
Also, can you model this to your children even when such positive outlook doesn't come to you naturally?

I used to be much worse. Through praying, stopping the negative thoughts as they come, redirecting my mind, I am not continually depressed as I was before. But still, it is such a battle. What else is there?
:grouphug: Even though I have felt hurt from many people, I still try to keep a joyful disposition.

My pastor taught the Dave Ramsey program. The pastor also has a financial background and has helped us with saving, spending and tithe.

Thanks for your reply. I didn't think of insurance. I would think the Taxi company may be willing to negotiate on that?
-
Would it be possible to lease my car during the day to a yellow or checkered type taxi company? I am with the kids during the day and quite honestly---being in a city environment we do not always need a car, especially during the day. I would be willing to let a taxi company or driver use my vehicle during school days and some weekends/holidays in exchange for splitting the profits. Have others heard of this? Do you think a taxi company would be interested?
I would not like to have a taxi sign or meter firmly attached to the car, but was wondering if there are portable/detachable graphics and a meter?
During this economy, I am really looking for a way to earn extra income.

Hey Carol, welcome to the boards - I see you have less than 100 posts.
FaithManor is a well-informed, intelligent contributor to this forum. The only thing hysterical about her is her great sense of humor.
(ETA LL, you know I appreciate you, and your sense of humor, but I misread an earlier post and it doesn't make sense to include you here at this time as originally did. Clear as mud, no doubt...)
FWIW, dh and I, logistically, find ourselves in a position similar to yours as you describe it. But the math cannot be ignored. Just because our families don't feel the hardship, doesn't mean it's not there. And I don't think I'm less of a patriotic American just because I am willing to study the facts.
Thanks for pointing out I have less than 100 posts. I guess thats your way of trying to discredit me. I would say that my time on the board is limited and do not post that often because I am actually spending time home schooling my children. I do not have time to write 3700 posts as my children's education would suffer.

The problem with posting your opinion on a message board is that other people may disagree with your opinion. It sounds like you want the freedom to disagree with the OP without letting others have the freedom to in turn disagree with you.
Nope feel free to disagree with me, as long as I can disagree with you. Thats what America is all about and what makes it a wonderful country.

I don't know a single soul in the US who is doing "well" except my retired relatives, and there seem to be a lot of bankers with no money problems, but regular people? Everyone I know is hurting. And hurting badly. Seriously. There are millons of Americans with advanced college degrees working crummy, low paying jobs, or no job at all, and people are suffering. Trying to find a viable , long term solution for your family sounds smart to me. But again, if you don't see the economic crisis firsthand, and the pain of not having a decent job for three years and no hope of improvement, then yes, I can understand your confusion.
You don't know anyone who is doing well? You know the DOW is at 12684 today. People are actually employed (vs. robots) at these companies. There are large cities with office buildings staffed with thousands of workers.
To listen to your post, its like your saying its the early 1930's and everyone is out pan handling. Please....
-
Also, I did state in my original post that we weren't surrendering our citizenship. So, I'm not certain how that makes us any more unAmerican than military personal and government employees who live abroad.
Faith
Are you kidding? You fail to mention in your first post that America is most likely in a permanent decline and compared it to a falling empire. Now you compare yourself to patriotic military families? Yikes....
-
I've never understood this - maybe it's because I'm not an American, maybe there's a different sort of..something…at work there…but I've never felt any kind of 'duty' (which to me shows an emotional connection) to a country. I do have a fondness for a specific province, but that's just because I like it a lot and have family there….I have no emotional connection to Canada - it's just where I happen to have been born.
Faith sounds like she's planning & preparing to take care of her family - why would anyone else care if she decides that caring for the the best means moving away? She's not packing you in her trunk. :tongue_smilie:
Its just my opinion or are only opinions that blindly support whatever the OP writes accepted?
-
Hey, nothing wrong with trying to stay ahead of the next Pol Pot, Stalin, Chariman Mao, or the inability to continue to hoard Gatorade and toothbrushes.
Yes. Stock up on 5 years worth of Ramen noodles and dig your self a bomb shelter in the back yard. Although people have been saying the country will collapse or whatever since the Cuban Missile crisis in the early 60's....and yet its 50 years later and we are all here. Hysteria solves nothing.
-
Well, that was a bit insulting. Seriously, I'm not certain why you would insult us for looking at stagnating wages - a fact, inflation - a fact, and higher cost of living - a fact, and knowing that we'd very much like to help our relatives who are facing some very tough financial times, look for a better economic situation so we can send money home.
My post was clear that we were trying to improve our economic standing in order to support (in particular) our grandniece who is not available for adoption and in dh's company, that can't be done stateside...at least not at this point.
:confused:

For me, aborting the country is not an option. I feel a patriotic sense of duty to our country and would never abandon it during recession. I don't know what part of the country you are in, but my husband has been promoted several times over the past few years and our neighbors are all doing very well for themselves. Several of the neighbor kids have landed with good jobs out of college and are on their way to a productive life. We are in a suburban area outside a large city----so maybe its different in the inner city or very rural locations.
Please pray!!!
