But things have been going pretty badly for my household lately. None of us can get jobs, and we're scheduled to lose internet in a week. On top of that, I've got a pretty big college bill I have to pay if I want to go back to college next semester, so things are a bit bleak here, and I might end up vanishing from the internet, along with Streya and Xaiylia. We're staying tough, but I wanted to let the community know what was going on, so it didn't seem like we were giving you all the cold shoulder or something. We'll be electing new directors to keep ALXVP running in the interim, so the corp should stay afloat. Stay warm backstage. Keep the light on for us, we'll be back.

Going through hard times myself, I empathize. Stay well, guys. The pilot light will still be on when you get back :)

Aw poop :cry:
-
Good luck
-
:/
-
Good luck and take care.

Hang in there folks. We'll be waiting for ya. If you can stop into mobile cafe hotspots or w/e and drop us updates from time to time, if you have the hardware, do so, ok?
*hugs*

Awwww... may have argued with you IC, but OOC this is very bleh. Hope things manage to look up soon, alright?
-
Sucks. >.<
GL with things, hopefully they'll get better soon!
Try to get your expensive/irreplaceable stuff out of the wormhole just in case things go bad while you're gone if you can. It'd suck to come back to that if it happened. :(
-
Godspeed! I hope to see you back as soon as circumstances permit.
-
ouch that is really unfortunate, I just plugged in with you guys. I hope your able to get stuff back up and running soon.
-
:(
I wish you all good luck with your financial situation.

We will try not to blow up Eve while your gone! Come back soon.

So uhm...how are things?
-
Streya's starting a new job on thursday, I'm still looking for work. We'll at least be able to pay for rent off her income, but our bills are really backed up and we still might lose electricity or internet depending on Streya's pay and hours. I had to drop out of college. So things are still shakey, but we had some people from our corporation help get us this far, so we're okay for the moment.
-
Again good luck.
Not sure if this will help, but you could try a temp agency if it gets down to it. It might suck (I know personally how much it could suck), but even minimum wage adds up.
Sorry for the unasked advice, it just leaps out sometimes. But if you want, I could ask my SO about any tips she might have. She's better at it than I am.

actually if I can get a job through a temp agency at one of the local factories, that is likely to be one of the best paying jobs I can get. (at 8 dollars an hour). Its at least 40 hours a week. There's very little chance of me ending up in a job that pays anything other then minimum wage. The area I live in is very economically depressed. My options as someone without a college degree are basically just fast food, walmart or other retail, or a factory. Regardless of where I go, I'm going to be making minimum wage. I'm continuing to apply for jobs, but things might be about to get a lot worse. I'm just waiting for a call from the doctor's to find out. I don't want to say anything else until we have news though.
-
Good luck to you Saede. I'll be thinking positive thoughts for you guys.

continuing to keep people in the loop
Streya has a job now, but its only part time. I still can't find work. No one is calling back or returning my emails.
So, our landlady needs us to pay 235 dollars on January 19th. Then, the full 425 dollar rent for February is due on Feb 1st. There's no way we can pay both those amounts off Streya's part time income, much less also cover bills. We're lucky that we have food stamps or we wouldn't be eating at this point.
I hate begging, but if anyone is doing well and wants to help us out, we'd definitely appreciate it, and I could try and pay people back later.
-
Do you live near Richmond, VA?
-
Not particularly near no. I have paypal if anyone wants to help out though. my paypal email is Tsakara@live.com same as my regular email. I also took someone's advice and figured out how to put a donation button on my blogsites, so that's an option too, the links for my blogs are in my signature.

Best of luck, hun. I know the feeling worrying about bills, eviction, etc. :cube:

Wish I could help, as it is I'm letting my EVE sub lapse (of course just as I friggin GET to null and could have plexed my sub, but as CO2 is at war, that scratches that idea) and keeping myself busy elsewhere. My mother and I are looking into renting a single house instead of all of of us being in separate apartments to lower the bills costs, etc., still in Philadelphia. (There is a house that is identical to the one we all used to live in that she used to own that's for rent, so we know it would be perfect and we wouldn't be in strangling distance - two to three families can live comfortably in it.) We may end up moving out west eventually to Oregon - this summer my mom is going to visit family and will be contacting real estate agents and working with family there to see if they're willing to help out. Because of my physical BS and that my ex has now solidly placed a foreclosure on my credit report I'm sort of stuck when it comes to stuff myself, and no one can find a job. So yeh, basically it's the people on Social Security (disability or pension) who will be paying the bills, heh.
