JSM's BEGGING FOR BAN THREAD # 6

[Missiontoconvict]

I guess this is what I get for living on the "upscale" part of town. I guess if I lived on the westside of the county, there would be all kinds of O programs I could go to.



On the bright side, we have plenty of firewood!

That's my girl.
I remember several years a go we had an ice storm here.All around the lake there was no power for about a week.I thought we would freeze to death.No electricity and no gas.Then the main water line busted down the street.You should have seen me by day 5.   
I had put meat in a cooler outside on my porch and critters got into it.I had a grill and some charcoal and I cooked the rest of my meat on it.I had a kerosene heater and closed myself off in one room,along with my bird and two doxies.I went through my small bottles of Crown Royal pretty quick.   
Used the four wheeler to go to the store about 10 minutes from here.Now I don't recommend it.     This cougar was truly scary looking.   
I keep extra tanks of propane now for my fireplace.

That was quite a challenge and I am sure you were a raging lunatic as I would have been.  Thank God for Crown Royal 

I sure messed that post up up - geeesh maybe I need a Crown/7

That was quite a challenge and I am sure you were a raging lunatic as I would have been.  Thank God for Crown Royal   

We still laugh about that week.   

I May laugh about it later. Just not right now. I have been through ever know natural disaster known man, but nothing like this.  I am truly feeling like I may hurt somebody....and it's not going to be prettyl

Trimm I hear what you are saying, but if one needs something and is in dire straights, Salvation Army and St Vincent DePaul will help. And then later one can give it back in the way of a donation. I do understand about taking a handout, we needed help many moons ago, and because we didn't have kids, they couldn't give but a pittance, and I told them to sc_ew themselves. We managed also, but was hard.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeee

24 unpaid furlough days next year.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeee

Dude, that's like a month of pay. Are you salaried? Are you handy around the house? Perhaps the single monkeys could give you a month's worth of "HoneyDo" lists to make up for lost income...or fun.

Salaried.  Am thinking about taking 7 days in a row and go the Masters golf tournament in Augusta, GA in April.

Sorry CC. I am sitting here worrying about having our power cut off today over two days grace. Been on time before but have a cut off due yesterday. All I asked was a two day grace until my socical security check gets here Wednesday. No soap. So if I disappear, you all know why.  Sorry to be Debbie Downer her. 

I'm sorry Fanny, they shouldn't cut you off in the cold. That isn't right. I used to volunteer at the Salvation Army and they would give people money to pay their electric if they couldn't afford it. Maybe you should give that a try. If I was up there, I would pay it for you. 

That's right, I forgot about that, they can't turn off in the cold, at least in WI. That was awfully kind of you JSM, we have always supported the Salvation Army, actually some of the money we received when my mom passed went there and the food pantry.

  They can't turn you off here if the temps have been over 100 for three days in a row. Hopefully Fanny can get some help from the Salvation Army and I know here Catholic Charities help out with electric bills and stuff.

They are here too,JSM.A lot of people are proud and don't want a hand out.I like to call it a hand up for those in need.
I know we probably have qualified while hubby has had these two surgeries but we didn't go. 
If Fanny goes TOWANDA on them,they will be like   

I understand about not wanting a handout. I think I would sit in the cold/hot instead of asking for help. I hope she goes off on them and they run off scared chitless.

Fanny Mae I am so sorry to hear about your problem. I know daughter in Calif went thru the same thing. Wont go there right now. The links are what I could find for help on Ohio. I am sure you have looked into them. It just gets me so upset when this kind of stuff happens. If you don't find any help from the sites I posted. I would call the biggest local church in your area. I know when I worked for one in Calif. we weren't big but I did have the names and numbers of those in the area that could help. It seemed to me most of them were the bigger churches in the area. You and your family are in my prayers. God Bless

This is true.
Gotta run see my neighbor for a bit.Be back in a bit.   

[Green Eyes]

JSM  I am with you on the cold. Years ago my dad brought me electric socks, because My feet would get cold.      Since moving here to Texas I have used them. Love them they keep my toes warm, so the rest of me doesn't freeze during winter.  We are suppose to be getting more rain tomorrow. Yuck!!!!! I have enjoyed the last couple days with the sunshine. 

[Missiontoconvict]

Morning Northern you have the ability to make one feel better

Thank you for your help, GReen Eyes. I just checked the weather forcast. A wonderful time to be without power!

http://www.accuweather.com/us/oh/dayton/45400/city-weather-forecast.asp?partner=accuweather&u=1&traveler=1

We will manage so far. I don't know how we will keep our  cpap machines going at night,but what is a little breathing problem at night?  This is such a small problem in the whole scheme of things.  People that have so much more pressing problems have much worse problems than ours.  I am just being such a ninny right now. I am sorry.

I will check out your links you gave me. I really appreciate the help you have all given me.
Like I said, I have been working on this for two days. I has finally gotten to me. I am just having one of my    moments!!
