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?

[Saede Riordan]

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.

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.
