The only answer to your problem I can think of is to play the Lotto & pray a lot

Sadly `Keane, you are not alone & there are many that have spent more then they can afford. I don't have many material possessions, but I sure want to when I have my own place & a garage to keep my ride...Until then I just go without all the things I want in life..

Again, it's not easy, but nothing good is easy in this life (unless you have Rich Relatives that pay your way)...

I do hope that you can lighten your load & choose what you have to go without until you can afford the pleasures of what you want & desire... Just concentrate on what you NEED in life to complete your education & get a `job that pays good for your efforts.

You are the driver of your `Life (with or without a car(s)
My teachings & Motto is Don't Buy anything unless you can pay CASH Wish you the best `Keane > Good Luck

good evening everyone, had along day stand in the sun in a parking lot meeting with all the workers in the area I am helping oversee at the moment, sadly I have to dress professionaly (well as much as I can do so) so it was freekin hot with the sun beating down on me, but the overall experience was good for the workers as they finally were able to see someone in charge (honestly still can't believe they let me be in charge of people muahaha) but the workers needed to know they have support out here in the city. They have gone too long without knowing someone was there to help them when needed with advice, assistance, even so much as a shoulder to cry on.

The one funny thing happened though. While I was in the parking lot with my trunk open, probably looking like I was dealing drugs, a gentleman asked if I had been saved, and told me to read the book of john from chapter 1 to the end. He then told me that if I repent my sins of the 10 commandments that I would be forgiven in the eyes of the lord and then asked if I was ok. Sadly, I can honestly say this type of stuff happens to me a lot, and I mean a lot. Had a worker at the office today, whom I had never met in my life, tell me her entire life story and how she came to be where she is today. I talked with her for almost an hour listening and offering advice, she even cried twice while telling me her story, but I think when I left she was in a better place knowing that someone just took time out of their life to listen to stories of hers. So with that I do get a feeling of happiness knowing I may have helped someone in their time of need.

I hope everyone has themselves a great night, and yes honestly events like the two above happen to me on quite a regular basis

I know how you feel. I never should have gotten the TA to many project. Plus now the house an every thing it's hard to stay a float. The only thing you can do is just keep moving forward working as hard as you can. There will always be bumps in the road. I've been pushing through stress an depression for awhile but I do see a light at the end of the tunnel. Just a long ways away. Just always go forward an don't look back

I wish I could work as hard as I can, but with limited hours I can't, been thinking about another job or a season job or something. The downside with another job Is it'll be even harder to get time off to do things. So i'm thinking a 2nd job for the winter maybe while not much is happening.

I was asleep. But my Daughter, the one who is making me a Grandpa and Lives in Hawaii, called to ask for $$$ for her Nausea meds. Which I will send tomorrow. But now I'm awake again Wish Cheech and Chang who here. I'd be asleep in a half hour.
Anyways, Everyone have a Good Night. And dream of a Beautiful Friday!

Almost finished with the Impala brake repair. New line is in, brakes are bled. All there is to do now, throw the wheels back on, off the jack stands and go for a victory lap!! I was going to do that tonight, but it got dark and the suspension on the rear end is hanging low, I have the jack the car up to get the wheels on the back. It can wait until later. But all is looking good and all according to plan!!
