I'll bet $10,000 that you also have a faded, peeling 'Bush/Cheney '04' sticker on the back of your Astro Van. You stupid, stupid woman.
I'd really like to know Mitt's *real* thoughts and beliefs on the White Horse Prophecy - in which Mormons believe that the United States will eventually become a theocracy dominated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
#1, if you're bashing Jane because she deleted your trashing of kids, stfu! Most of us appreciate you, Jane. And we don't want to be known as kid smackers.
For the record, I don't think saying someone is "not that cute" is basing them. But we all agreed that there would be a zero tolerance for kid smack, no matter the severity.
I think if we just make it a point that we don't discuss underage kids, then there doesn't need to be a line drawn at how much is too much.
If you feel like there is something I can do to better the blog, or to make you happier, let me know. I'm all for keeping you guys happy and entertained.
I just need something more specific than, "you're starting to suck."
I'm #20. Reading the F&F thread and I'm amazed at how the righties are demonizing this because one border patrol agent died. (I'm not minimizing his death at all, understand that) But I bet if someone called all those idiots on the whole "buck stops here" thing with 9-11, that they would explode trying to explain that the buck doesn't stop with the Prez just because he's prez when something bad happens.
I can rationalize it just as well. We aided the Afghans against Russia. They formed al-Quaida. Al-Quaida attacked the US. The president is in charge of what the government does. It's the president's fault.
Meanwhile, I fucking KNOW within the depths of my soul that Bush knew exactly what was going to happen and LET IT so he would have an excuse to invade IRAQ.
Ellapea, didn't mean to insult you by saying you were in denial of gay. Still believe you are lying to yourself. Ah, never mind, I really believe you're just a troll.
I really hope Ms Whale ...I mean MsTyler gets in this thread and starts spewing her hate. All the while shoving the last box of Oreos she purchased down her gullet.
Didn't she just get a divorce last year?? ---------------------------------------- Maybe she's another Slutmom Hotpants who threw her husband over for an old boyfriend.

This can't be said enough. She's furious that she'll never ever have sex, never get married, never have all the normal, fun experiences that normal people have.
So she uses her religion as a cudgel on others. (And a fig leaf to cover her own very obvious failings.)
Fortune Magazine (not a bastion of liberalism, btw) has a very good dissection of the whole Fast & Furious situation.
The gvt/ATF never intentionally allowed guns to fall into the hands of Mexican drug cartels. In fact they tried to do just the opposite, but were hamstrung by loose/weak gun laws:
"But the ultimate irony is this: Republicans who support the National Rifle Association and its attempts to weaken gun laws are lambasting ATF agents for not seizing enough weapons—ones that, in this case, prosecutors deemed to be legal."
So on one hand, we've got conservatives - who for decades have successfully weakened gun control laws - screaming that "Obama wants to take away everyone's guns!!!!1!" and on the other hand we've got conservatives screaming that "Obama should have done more to reign in the flow of (legal) guns!!!"

No matter the divorce circumstances, I always wonder why women rush right back into marriage, especially when she has a young child. Makes no sense to me.
Ok, I posted 42 and just now went to read the thread. There are no LINKS to it directly. She would not see trackbacks to here. NO LINK. just a copy and paste of the location of the blog.

That's it, #62. Snowsilver. She always spews such patronizing drivel under the guise of being "compassionate". You can just hear her ending every thought with "bless her heart".
I like C. Voila, but I think she has trouble keeping her party line straight, like she tries too hard to put up a perfect front. A For Instance: a month or two ago she posted on a giving-up-pop thread that she no longer drank tea. Her latest blog post? Making sun tea.

Still puzzling over what Lovemythree said about us not having "coochballs."
No, we do not have "coochballs." But this must be the sort of anatomical oddity that sets her apart from other women. She shouldn't be ashamed of being a hermaphrodite, though.

Um, there was a very well published memo to the Bush Administration that there was an "imminent danger" to the US just before the 9/11 attacks. I don't think he knew what was going to happen, I think he knew there was going to be an attack on American Soil, and that it would give him the political currency he needed to go after Saddam for trying to kill his Daddy.
I don't give a shit if anyone thinks its too crazy. Several people vent their opinions here because they don't feel like dealing with the crazy at the bukkit. What's the big deal. How about YOU unclench and move on?
I remember when Compy first hit my radar. She took a good smacking on a thread for her confession that she steals supplies from the doctor's office if they make her wait. lol

I think he knew there was going to be an attack on American Soil.
Of course he did. How can you forget his deer in the headlights, oh fuck, I screwed up look. Of course he didn't know exactly where and when they were going hit but he knew of the threat. He failed to protect us. He had to know the World Trade Center was a target. He caused so much death and destruction to American and Iraqi lives. Worst President in American history.
MapShit is such a raging cunt. I wish she would crawl back under her rock.

Any ideas here? (I don't want to post info on board and make it look like there's a paypal button to follow LOL)Here's the deal.
Husband and wife. Had just bought a newish vehicle. Husband becomes very ill. Wife has to stay home to take care of him. Vehicle payment is high. Need to keep it to take him to appointments. Can't really downgrade much from what it already is/already tried to refinance, not happening.. House payments are decent but can't (really don't want to sell house).
Ideas on fund raisers? How can you have a fund raiser and have it go all to the bank to help pay truck down (or even pay it off?)
Far stretch here but I know deep down that for all the bitchiness we spew here there are some nice people that maybe know of some way to do this. A website where people can help organize something? Anything? (I don't want to say what body organ; that could give away too much info of who I am). I've contacted the website and had no response. (Like american cancer society, american lung association). No response from the foundations website. So please if you can, help.
Sorry for shitty paragraping. I can't believe I'm asking this here but to all the bitchy sweethearts, I'm asking to respond if you know of any way to do this.
I forgot to add that we probably will be losing the house and vehicle soon if we don't get help. Selling both would leave us homeless (and wouldn't even be able to sleep in the vehicle). No family near us to help (not that they're in any shape to help).
I know it is easy to say sell both and rent and use public transportation but there's no public transporation here. Please just don't suggest it. Internet is cheap here and it's the only thing we have for entertainment (no tv service). So don't suggest that either. As for phone, my brother does help us with that from where he lives (far away from us).
Neither husband nor wife has a job? I'm not sure how you're expecting to keep a car and house payment with that? Husband needs round the clock care? Can someone else (family) help so wife can get a job?
Yes I was expecting a paypal link after all that crap. Basically you don't want to change any part of your lifestyle but you want other people to pay off your debts? Typical peatard shit. No public transport "around here" then move the hell to somewhere there is. Rent out the house and move to a one bedroom apartment next to the hospital if you need to. I hate to break it to you, no-one is coming along on a white horse to rescue you and magically pay off all the debt. How did you get into this mess in the first place? Why haven't you both worked and saved up for the "rainy day"? All your 'don't even suggest it' shows us who you really are a whiner who thinks the world owes them a living.
If he needs expensive medication, contact the pharaceutical company. Most have a patient assistance program where they will give you the meds for free or for a small $20 co-pay.
"Internet is cheap here and it's the only thing we have for entertainment (no tv service). So don't suggest that either."
You don't have a deck of playing cards or board games, can't go for walks?, can't borrow books from the library?, can't borrow dvd's from the library?, can't just sit and talk?
If you can't afford your bills you can't afford to pay to be entertained either.
I have made the blog recently in fact, apparently because I had a previous bad avatar pic I have an Adams apple LMAO! That was a gem, if these idiots were a real man or woman they would say what they think and be done freaking cowards is all they are. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Vehicle payment is high. Need to keep it to take him to appointments. Can't really downgrade much from what it already is/already tried to refinance, not happening.. House payments are decent but can't (really don't want to sell house). ------------------------ The three biggest assets, the ability to work, a "newish" vehicle that still has payments, and home equity are off the table? Well then, cash in your rainy-day fund, the IRA, and check the couch cushions. Until you have depleted your own assets, you shouldn't be asking others for a handout. Lack of responsibility on your part does not constitute an emergency for everyone else.
Take that, bitches! Affordable Care act UPHELD! ************** Haven't been to the Pod yet since the SCOTUS decision was announced, but I can hear the heads exploding from here! LOL!!
Oh, my fucking WORD! How do these people function?? Hey! Here's an idea! Why don't you wear your knee-hi pink UGGS with a full length down parka! That'll be swell!
Damn LOL I got the response I expected. I'll try to answer some. We had and were still saving for that rainy day and it has come and gone. All saved money had to come out to bridge us hoping he was going to get better. He has not. He can walk but not far. (Will not give many details on that). I have to be here with him.
I would prefer to go back to work and so would he. He has disability payments right now that take care of things (through a great plan they had at work - that forced him to apply for SS right away. That will lower our income (I'm looking for help before that happens). As for medications he has COBRA insurance in place (for 2 more months) and that pays for meds.
LOL about rolling his gurney onto the truck, good one. Luckily I still have a sense of humor.
I guess I'll just go back to work and leave him here to crawl when he needs something. @@
If someone has any suggestions, please feel free to add them.
I'll look at the responses again later if I missed something LOL Stop being such hard asses LOL We've worked our asses off and never asked for anything and now the state won't help because his work's payments through disability are too high LOL. Most people would have already lost everything. Just trying to avoid that here without leaving him hanging all day.
The vehicle was bought right before this happened. Bank has not been helpful. We are not late on anything and do not plan on being. Just sucks to think it could happen.
I see people having all these fund raisers and I hell I don't know. Just wanted advice if someone new anything. I hate handouts, never thought I'd accept anything like that but at this point I believe I would, graciously (not like P gift grabs lol).
I'll have to look into home equity. I'm not sure which number suggested that. Things are depleted. Sure I could go get a beater but that's just what I need, to be stranded on the road all the time.
Are the nicer bitches sleeping still? Probably working. I WANT TO GO BACK TO WORK AND SO DOES HE.
This from Teabagger Nutjob Rand Paul: Just because a couple people on the Supreme Court declare something to be ‘constitutional’ does not make it so. The whole thing remains unconstitutional. While the court may have erroneously come to the conclusion that the law is allowable, it certainly does nothing to make this mandate or government takeover of our health care right" ************************************************ Holy shit. Does this guy even understand what the Supreme Court DOES??
130, I'm sorry your husband is ill. But I don't understand why you seem to feel so entitled to maintain your middle class existence when your circumstances have changed dramatically.
If your hubby is really so ill he can't be left alone, look into social services to get him some help.
Hard circumstances mean hard choices. You might have to let your house go. You might have to let your vehicle go. Everyone else is just trying to get by; why would you expect people to dig into their pockets to help you maintain the standard of living that you WANT/EXPECT?
I have a friends who was in a terrible abusive marriage, hated her husband. He went to Afghanistan, and she told me she hoped he would die.
He got injured badly, lost a limb.
Now all of a sudden, he's the "Most Amazing Hero" and the best man ever! And all the while, there are fund raisers all over the place for them, when he medical is 100% covered by the military, and he's still getting a paycheck. So far he's been given multiple cars, (including a famous one from a movie) and a motorcycle tricked out by Harley. They have a different "Fundraiser" every month and the proceeds help take them all over the country on vacations. The latest one is a plea to help pay for a to-your-door diet service because they've both gained a lot of weight recently.
I get that people are injured, but that doesn't entitle you to the world.
#99, Do the tough thing. Cancel your internet, your cable. Sell the truck, even if you take a loss, at least your payments will end a lot sooner than if you had kept it. Buy a bus pass. Work a part-time job at night while your husband is sleeping. Offer to babysit at your home. Have a garage sale. Sell things on craigslist. Don't get your hair done, don't go out to eat. There are ways to sacrifice to make it work, you just have to be willing to change your lifestyle.
But I don't understand why you seem to feel so entitled to maintain your middle class existence when your circumstances have changed dramatically.
-----------------
Kendra agrees.
Yes it sucks that you once had the income to buy an expensive truck and all that. Now hubby is sick and needs care. Your life will change. And not for the better.
They had a fundraiser here at Culvers. The husband was very well known in the community, had a big accident at work, ended up in the burn unit at the hospital and could not work. People in the community set it up, his wife and kids did not. They arranged a night were some percentage of every purchase at Culvers went to a fund for the family. Volunteers were there on the night, handing out flyers at the drive thru. Turn the flyer in with your payment so they got credit. They advertised it well and lots of the community was there, hanging out, they had a band outside, people were in lawn chairs, and the lines were super long.
Culvers got a ton of business that night and the fund got a big donation.
As for a beater, I drive a 12 yr old Ford. It has 176,000 miles on it, no AC, and rust. It does not break down and leave me stranded. The only times I have been left stranded was when I did not replace the tires and got a flat. Now, I have roadside assistance with my car insurance for that.
Buy a beater and a triple A membership. Stop being a snob.
He's been sick for two years now. We've done fine. We don't want to ask for anything. We do not feel entitled as some have suggested. (I truly hope you never have to deal with anything like this).
As for people saying get rid of cable, we do not have cable. I'd love to get a job while he sleeps but his sleep habits are not normal. I've driven beaters, I'm not above it so the snob comment wasn't needed. I did not want a new vehicle he did.
I guess there's no help. (I could foreclose, adding to the problem and live in my truck). Thanks.

June 28, 2012 9:57 AM
Thanks for the initial concern. Social Services will not help. They claim we make too much (his disability pay) and will not help. Until we're destitute they will not help. I have already given up my insurance (no the state will not help).
I get making hard choices, I've been doing it for two years now. It sucks. I was just asking if anyone knew of some way out without having to sell. I'm not a fucking Libis. So, with your initial concern turned hate, fuck you very much.
Yes, my life could be better right now, why don't you kick my head in while I'm down here.
I really would never wish this on anyone, things happen. Be prepared! We thought we were with our cushy savings/investments. @@
Yep, sell the damn newer vehicle. Buy a used and older model. Place liability only insurance on it. Bet you have a bigger, nicer house than you need, sell and downsize, or rent. No eating out, no manicures, fancy coffees, new clothes, magazines, cancel cable. Use coupons, buy generics, buy in bulk, no expensive snack foods, etc. I don't have any of these nice things (ok, do have basic cable) why should I pay for yours??
You know, two years ago I sat here and gave the same advice, so I get where all of you are coming from. Tables turned and all that - Karma if you will, right?
Vehicle - sell it dumbass House - sell it dumbass Live like the scum you are now! (FML)

June 28, 2012 10:49 AM Don't eat out, never had a manicure, never bought magazines, clothes are two years old (nothing new here), don't have cable. I use coupons (I don't even buy the paper, my Mom sends them to me lol), I don't buy snacks, we don't go out to eat. I've really gone without and cut back. I don't need the obvious advice. It was a simple question - there are a million fund raisers I gave a lot of money to over the years, I just don't know how they go about doing them. I guess I'm just shit out of luck.
I'll message from the library next time while my truck is parked out back with my sleeping bag (i don't own a sleeping bag lol).
LOL Like I said before, I'm not oblivious to our situation and we're not late on anything. I like to think I'm one of the smarter people looking ahead. I will sell things when it comes to it but where's the help I offered all those times, ya know?
No I don't want anyone to have to dig in their pockets for me, I do not feel entitled. I hate this shit. I knew posting this here would get these responses and that's fine. I may or may not respond to the dumbass ones. Whatever.
If there are any fund raising guru's out there, speak up. (Isn't KAS one? JustT too?) Where does one turn?
if someone owes money on a vehicle, they can't just sell it for less than they owe. don't people know this shit??? you have to give someone the title to the vehicle and if there is money owed, the bank or lending institution holds the title. buying a cheaper car doesnt work either unless you pay cash (and if the OP had cash she wouldnt be in this situation, would she?)no one is going to give a car loan to someone who already has a loan they can't pay on. that said, I think I'd be looking at surrendering the house to foreclosure (or shortsale)of course you should first explore any options available to you for re-writing the loan, etc but if you cant do it-let the house go and move someplace you can afford. I'd try to hang onto the vehicle if possible. as for the fund raiser-what happens when the fund raiser is over? you can't afford your expenses. a temporary reprieve is just that-a temporary reprieve. it doesnt solve the underlying issues which is higher expenses than income. as far as you needing to be home- do you have any family that could help? what about visiting nurses or a home health aid? see if insurance will cover that. is it possible for you to check on him at lunch? can a family member drop by and check on him too? anything you can do at home? how about babysit someone;s child? what about provide a home for someone with a brain injury? there are things you can do but sitting at home trying to figure out how to get others to give you money isnt really a "plan"
Thank you not2peased. Home nurses have been discharged already. Family is nowhere near us and are in no shape to help (see OP). As for a fundraiser (see OP) I wondered if there was one where ALL the proceeds went to the bank where the loan is for the truck. I dont want the money. If that truck was paid I would have extra income each month since it wouldn't be going to the bank.
I've looked into those WAH programs and they all seem like scams - anyone know of one that isn't?
I don't sit home trying to figure out how to get others to give money LOL I am doing what I can here to take care of him, he is priority #1.
I feel like I'm a P who is trying to ignore all the advice but I'm really just kind of answering the questions. I get how things work, I'm not stupid.
Thank you not2peased for your help. Thanks for having my back.

1. Foreclose on my home. 2. Keep truck and let hubby have the back seat, I'm sure he'll be comfortable there. OR Sell it and drive him around to appointments 2 and 3 hours away and HOPE we don't get stranded. Oh right triple A will help me. (more $) 3. Don't eat. 4. Wear clothes with holes because they don't last forever. 5. FUCK IT
Lots of people are broke, struggling and sick. Welcome to America.
Google "how to have a fundraiser", for fuck's sake, and shut the fuck up with your "woe is me" already.
You lost my sympathy when you started getting nasty with people who were offering solutions you didn't want to hear.
Hate to break it to you, cupcake, but you're desperately clinging to a middle class life you're going to have to let go of. Unless you can do what you're hoping to do - pull a Libis and guilt people into donating money to your "cause".
I'd rather give my money to help a needy child than an adult who acts like a petulant, entitled baby.
put an ad in the paper offering daycare (assuming you have this skillset and your house isnt a dump)reach out to people you know to see if anyone needs childcare. contact agencies in your area that provide support services to people with brain injuries. these agencies pay people to have someone live in their house. you are already playing nursemaid to your husband so you must have some experience/skills here. in many cases a brain injured person doesnt need complete nursing care-just support so that they dont burn the house down, help accessing community services (rides places)etc. perhaps you could provide respite care for someone else. find the agencies and contact them.
Your DH has been ill, but you went out and bought a newish vehicle?
Yes - I'm afraid posters before me are correct.
You need to come to terms with your "new normal".
Eventually - you DO need to sell the car and house.
Start getting ready for your downsizing right now:
* Have a "pre-moving" sale and sell anything you will not be able to take to a smaller home. (do you have 2 couches? Dining and kitchen table? Extra bedroom furniture?) This will give you cash and prepare you for a move.
* Get that house listed for sale NOW - not later.
* Go thru anything and every thing and ebay what you can = more $$$
* Craigslist is another option.
* Start looking for a small, part-time job at a nearby, mom and pop type business. Small, locally owned businesses are more likely to let you work flexible hours so you can break-up your work hours or even go home to check your husband.
* Invest in a "life-alert" type system for your DH. Insist he wear and use it! This will allow you to work 3 or 4 hour shifts with some peace of mind.
* Search the Two Peas board for previous posts on how to save money. The Peas can be real bitches, but many are really nice and have shared ideas on simple money saving techniques over the years.
Above all - embrace the change. Honestly, there are no things or possessions as important as your DH and your marriage. Let.the.stuff.go. Take a few days to mourn the loss of your previous life - then move on.
Don't get stuck in the past - it really does no good. Look to the future and appreciate what you HAVE, not what you lost.

Lots of people are broke, struggling and sick. Welcome to America.
Google "how to have a fundraiser", for fuck's sake, and shut the fuck up with your "woe is me" already.
You lost my sympathy when you started getting nasty with people who were offering solutions you didn't want to hear.
Hate to break it to you, cupcake, but you're desperately clinging to a middle class life you're going to have to let go of. Unless you can do what you're hoping to do - pull a Libis and guilt people into donating money to your "cause".
I'd rather give my money to help a needy child than an adult who acts like a petulant, entitled baby.

I only got nasty with one person who obviously didn't read the OP and kept saying stupid shit. I don't need your sympathy or your money. Thanks for caring! Did you not read that I'm going to get rid of everything and live in my holey clothes? You missed a section (go back and read it again). I'll see you at walmart (where my holey clothes will get posted on pow.com) k? BTW, I've given lots to those babies in need.
When the economy hit hard a few years ago, we sold our house and started renting a three bedroom duplex. It was a nice duplex, almost as big as our old house, but the payments were almost $1,000 a month less than our mortgage.
Our SUV was repossessed after trying to make payments for over a year that we just couldn't afford anymore. I was mortified about not having a nice vehicle at first, but I got over that real quick. ;) We used our tax return and bought a very old minivan. We researched and researched and found one that had great reviews for durability and longevity. Just these two fixes alone saved us $1600 a month.
We got rid of all cable and internet, it was hard. We used Netflix, and luckily we lived next to a school and were able to use their wifi, obviously that wasn't the nicest thing to do, but it helped a lot when we needed to go online for school projects etc...
We NEVER ate out. I learned how to meal plan, down to snacks. I planned every meal for the day, and then figured out how to make it from scratch (which is way cheaper.) I made my own bread etc...This saved us a ton of money.
And then, when things still seemed to be tight, my husband took a second job at a fast food restaurant from 6pm-1am. He worked his ass off to keep us afloat. This is what real sacrifice is.
Thankfully things are about a million times better now, we are doing better now than before the economy tanked, but the great thing is, we know how to sacrifice, we know how to live on less than 2K a month, so now we're able to save a ton of money every month, and afford the extras in life.
158 I've done all those things (except the part-time job). I WILL be going back to work when the time comes and he's able to do better. Right now (I haven't mentioned this) he has a million tests and appointments. Not likely to be hired asking for time off immediately. I'm hoping this stuff slows down so I CAN GO BACK TO WORK. I hope he gets better.
I've already gotten rid of everything but the house and vehicle, it's that simple. I'm down to selling those and well it was a simple question asked and I knew what I would get from here. (Although people aren't reading everything and just answering or they're missing parts and offering advice on things I've already done.)
I know it's 1/2 and 1/2 here with mean jerks and sweet people so I understand where everyone is coming from. No need to berate though (not you 158). It's simple, I sell my shit. No biggie. Just wanted a question answered. One question.
161, that's about what we live on now. I feel bad for you that you had to do that. I am happy though that you're both able to work.
My house payment is nowhere near what yours was. It's only $600. I will handle it even without any type of fundraiser but it just seems every person who is ill has one LOL I figured it wasn't going to hurt to ask how if anyone knew. (screw the lady who said google it, i have and there are laws out the ass) Anyway.
I'm not wallowing in sorrow here, we are very happy no matter what happens here. We would be happy wherever because that's the way we are.
162Anonymous said... 162 Losing the life you've worked for sucks. You're grieving a lot of things - your husband as you knew him and your life as you knew it.
I'm truly very sorry that you're experiencing this. There but for the grace of god....
I'm not sure what you want? If you're looking for information on a fundraisers, then you should probably look elsewhere.
At this point, it seems that you are merely looking for sympathy. Your situation is awful. I am truly sorry.
What do you hope to get out of your posts? I am not being snarky.
June 28, 2012 11:54 AM
Information from people who are in the know of how to do one and have proceeds go directly to the bank. I know (see OP) this isn't the place to ask. I asked here because of the nicer people who do help when they can (with info not money LOL).
Thanks for answering and I saw no snark in your response.
Rand Paul went to the same correspondence law school that Lynloon did. The one that advertised in the back of MAD magazine along with the X-ray glasses and sea monkeys.
I'm sorry for your situation #163. Can you start to think outside the box for some opportunities to look for work? I know one friend that wanted to be a SAHM, but needed a little income. She posted signs at hospitals advertising overnight daycare...she now watches three kids for nurses that work the night shift. She has an extra bedroom that they sleep in. She basically plays with them for a bit, puts them to sleep, then feeds them breakfast before they get picked up. One other friend went to a college, and posted signs offering her services as a personal assistant to Professors. She listed what she was willing to do (pick up dry cleaning, get groceries and other shopping, general errands and stuff like that). Once she got a good client base, she added home cooked meals to that list. She would make meals, package them in microwaveable containers and stock the refrigerators for them. After doing it for a year, she was making more money that her DH at his full time job! Could you start cleaning homes? You could schedule jobs around your DH's appointments. Are you able to mow lawns? Clean gutters? There are lots of (legal) services you could provide, while taking the needed time to care for your DH. Good luck!
not2peased you are not *afraid* to post here under your name. maybe you could ask over there if anyone knows how the fundraisers work? i am sure there are people over there who know.
I'd probably try appealing to community services for a grant/help before I'd go the fundraiser route.
Churches, charities, non-profit groups that help the working poor, women etc. You'll probably need to do a bit of research (yay internet) and legwork to find them. Hell I'd try hitting up the Ellen show - what can it hurt?
what exactly do you want me to ask 169? "how do fundraisers work for people who need them" isn't exactly going to help anyone answer the question. fundraisers work however the person or people who set them up wants them to work. be specific about exactly what you want me to ask and I will do it. No doubt I will get lambasted, but whatever, I'm willing to ask-even though I think it's a really, really stupid idea, nor do I think a fundraiser will work. just be sure you are prepared for the fallout...many folks are going to hate your ever-loving guts for trying to fundraise yourself out of bad financial planning. just sayin'
You lost my sympathy when you started getting nasty with people who were offering solutions you didn't want to hear.
------------
Yeah pretty much here too.
Look no one here is in your situation. People offer ideas based on what they do. All you do is snark back at people that their ideas aren't good enough, you already did it blah blah blah. Supposedly you sleep on the floor of a junky house you cant sell and eat nothing but dried beans and rice while you care for your husband who can't be left alone for 3 hrs at a time, yet NO ONE will help you, no family near, no friends, no church, nada. Despite that you are "both very happy". I smell a rat. Well what the fuck ever sister, do you want a fucking miracle from a smack blog?
Its been 2 yrs, nothing is getting better for you at all, well I got nothing else to tell ya. I already gave my advice and all you did was bitch back at me. Call fucking Dave Ramsey and see what he says.
Oh, you know #177...the 'perfect' peas have a fully funded 401K, IRA, and at least 5 years of 'emergency' fund in the bank. If only they had planned better, they would still have 3 years of the emergency fund left...(snark because the dumb asses missed that this has been going on for 2 years, not 2 days or 2 months)
I have a question for the fundraiser lady, and I am not trying to be snarky, just a real question. If you do get a fundraiser pulled together, who do you think will come? A really good fundraiser either takes $$$$ or really good connections to set up, and it looks like you don't have either. I'm really not trying to be mean, but think two steps ahead...how much money and time do you have to put into organizing a fund raiser? How will you get people to come if you have no family, no church home, etc, etc?
This might be a dumb question, but in these photos, why are there several burned homes, then right next door there are more that are not burned? What caused the fire to just stop there?
181 - Some people are just incredibly lucky. There really is no explaining it.
There were insane wildfires in California a few years ago and there were entire neighborhoods that were burned down...except for one or two homes on the block.
If anything, there is a chance that while the owners of the still standing homes were evacuating they could have turned on their sprinklers or something, but that is just a wild guess.
No. You have NOT done everything you can. Your ego has really gotten in the way of common sense. Sell the fucking house and car!
It is VERY apparent that you want a bailout. You want free money without any pain. You are an idiot. You said your husband has been I'll for 2 yrs but you recently bought a car. What the hell!
Here's an idea if you want a bailout. Let the house go into foreclosure, let the car get repo'd and file for bankruptcy. Then you can go live in denial, which apparently you are very familiar and comfortable with.
I am not that op, but I really don't understand the "sell the house' crap. She has a mortgage of $600! What are you going to rent for much cheaper than that???
You say you don't want anyone to dig into their pockets for you yet you want to do a fundraiser. Isn't a fundraiser a glorified way of asking people to dig into their pockets for you? Just because you want it to go directly to the bank to pay off your truck doesn't make it any less of a handout. Why can't you leave your DH for a few hours? Surely you can schedule his appointments to work around a part time job. Have you thought of working evenings and hiring someone to check on your DH periodically while you work? I have a quadrapalegic friend who stays alone while his wife works during the day and they manage. If you keep doing what you're doing now you're going to get the same results as you have been and that's clearly not working for you.
If they bought the vehicle before her DH got ill, they bought way more vehicle than they could afford. Payments for at least 3 years? Ya, couldn't afford it
Stupid abounds at the bukkit. The thread (sorry forgot to copy and paste) where they are comparing universal health care to Public Education (a right versus a need) people on the right are complaining that Public Education is in shambles and that's why the Feds shouldnt run health care, the states should. They are citin NCLB as the reason feds should stay out of education.
Two things:
1. Who the fuck do you think came up with NCLB? That was GW and his cronies!!!
2. They are clamoring for healthcare (if it was to be mandated) to be organized at the state level because the federal government doesn't know how to manage its money. Um, aren't there a bunch of states in trouble with money too? California anyone??
191...I haven't had a car payment in about 10 years. Makes life much simpler to only buy what you can afford. Plus, since I got off the payment roller coaster, I can afford much nicer cars.
This might be a dumb question, but in these photos, why are there several burned homes, then right next door there are more that are not burned? What caused the fire to just stop there?

June 28, 2012 1:05 PM
We've already had to rely on all that we had saved. Yes, I'm back. No I haven't read everything yet.
I'm not sure, not2peased how to word it. I don't know that I really want you to do that. I just wonder how all these fund raisers I've given to in the past get started. I don't know where to go for help. (I guess I shouldn't ask for help so I'll drop it. Thanks again to those who googled help and offered. To those who think I'm some deviate, I expected that from here LOL - I've given the same type shitty responses to people down on their luck. You can just say karma is kicking my ass if you want. :P
Oh I will be responding to one other that I read. I have to go back and look at it LOL
180 I see your point. I've helped out others before and did not know them until I saw the flyers/ads whatever for fundraisers. Some people just do these things out of the kindness of their heart, not just because they "know" someone.
I will say I was a bit confused on the car issue but it is a mute point... you need help and need a place to turn. I am not sure fundraising is a viable option... usually with fundraisers there is some huge issue, such as a very sick child, war veteran, etc that the community rallies for. I am not sure what your husband illness is or what caused it (if anything) but your local charities might be able to help you better than looking for a fund raiser..... many churches have a ton of resources that may be able to assist you even if you aren't a member.
Unfortuantely however you worded your first inquiry it was taken as looking for a "way out" and I feel that wasn't your intent, just an option and how to go about it. Yes, Karma can be a bitch, but in the end, good things come to those who help themselves...
Take a look around your community... if your husband has an illness, look to support groups there, I am sure there are people in your shoes that might be able to either help with care or other means of support...

June 28, 2012 12:55 PM
I only got bitchy with ONE person (and already addressed it) I'm not being bitchy now by stating it either but pointing it out.
Where did I say an idea wasn't good enough? I didn't. Now I sleep on the floor? Damn LOL I guess I'd better sell my bed so that can come true and make you happy. It seems this is not going to come out nicely while responding to you so take it as it reads, I'm not yelling it, just having a good ole conversation.
When did the house become junky? When did I say that - I haven't. Wow! I mentioned not eating out and yes, using coupons and you turned it into eating nothing but beans and rice? Wow! This is good stuff. I said we're happy because we are happy - He's ALIVE, get it ALIVE. When you have that word it makes you happy to have what you have. It's called content that we're together. You seemed to have missed some things or took them out of context and that's ok, it happens.
Did I expect *a fucking miracle from a smack blog?* (your words quoted there). Nope, never expected a *fucking* miracle. I expected civil people to answer if they knew the backgrounds on how to get these kind of things started. (I guess if I had asked how do I get one started for a neighbor you would have been nicer? I doubt it). I had a simple question and you drew so many conclusions that make me laugh. People in my situation aren't always dragging around crying ya know, we have to stay strong. (I, even as mean as you were, never wish this on you).
I said before I knew there'd be responses like yours and that's ok. I used to dish out the same shit. I am glad you got it all off your chest.
As for me, I'm going to get off the blog again for a while. I have things to do. I hope that you all, especially 175 have an enjoyable evening. TTFN

I'll bet $10,000 that you also have a faded, peeling 'Bush/Cheney '04' sticker on the back of your Astro Van. You stupid, stupid woman.

Does Mitten Romney wear sacred underwear?

Pfft, magic underwear.
I'd really like to know Mitt's *real* thoughts and beliefs on the White Horse Prophecy - in which Mormons believe that the United States will eventually become a theocracy dominated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Thanks Jane!
#1, if you're bashing Jane because she deleted your trashing of kids, stfu! Most of us appreciate you, Jane. And we don't want to be known as kid smackers.

This should be good for some entertainment.
"less than stella treatment" LOL
No one bashed kids, Jane. Giving in to the crazies is a slippery slope.
Good grief, saying someone is "kind of starting to suck" and "not that cute" is bashing them?
For the record, I don't think saying someone is "not that cute" is basing them. But we all agreed that there would be a zero tolerance for kid smack, no matter the severity.
I think if we just make it a point that we don't discuss underage kids, then there doesn't need to be a line drawn at how much is too much.
No kid smack, period.
SDeven, true to form, couldn't wait to take a shit on the lighthearted Mexico thread.
She's a miserable human being who hates everything.
Thanks, Jane!
Oh, and I have no problem with criticism.
If you feel like there is something I can do to better the blog, or to make you happier, let me know. I'm all for keeping you guys happy and entertained.
I just need something more specific than, "you're starting to suck."

I'm #20. Reading the F&F thread and I'm amazed at how the righties are demonizing this because one border patrol agent died. (I'm not minimizing his death at all, understand that) But I bet if someone called all those idiots on the whole "buck stops here" thing with 9-11, that they would explode trying to explain that the buck doesn't stop with the Prez just because he's prez when something bad happens.
I can rationalize it just as well. We aided the Afghans against Russia. They formed al-Quaida. Al-Quaida attacked the US. The president is in charge of what the government does. It's the president's fault.
Meanwhile, I fucking KNOW within the depths of my soul that Bush knew exactly what was going to happen and LET IT so he would have an excuse to invade IRAQ.

This can't be said enough. She's furious that she'll never ever have sex, never get married, never have all the normal, fun experiences that normal people have.
So she uses her religion as a cudgel on others. (And a fig leaf to cover her own very obvious failings.)
That must be a HUGE fucking fig leaf.
http://features.blogs.fortune.cnn.com/2012/06/27/fast-and-furious-truth/?hpt=hp_t2
Fortune Magazine (not a bastion of liberalism, btw) has a very good dissection of the whole Fast & Furious situation.
The gvt/ATF never intentionally allowed guns to fall into the hands of Mexican drug cartels. In fact they tried to do just the opposite, but were hamstrung by loose/weak gun laws:
"But the ultimate irony is this: Republicans who support the National Rifle Association and its attempts to weaken gun laws are lambasting ATF agents for not seizing enough weapons—ones that, in this case, prosecutors deemed to be legal."
So on one hand, we've got conservatives - who for decades have successfully weakened gun control laws - screaming that "Obama wants to take away everyone's guns!!!!1!" and on the other hand we've got conservatives screaming that "Obama should have done more to reign in the flow of (legal) guns!!!"
@@
Of course, none of the loons are interested in reading that article...too long, too many words, might not reinforce their world-view.
The Fox News crawl and Limbaugh rants are the pretty much the top of their capabilities.
That must be a HUGE fucking fig leaf.

and I'm sure 56 is talking about nosliver/snowsilver. And no, she never unclenches.
If you like Compwasuckadick (wonder if she has *THAT* variation in her google alert LOL) then you must be new to 2Peas. (Not a bad thing). She used to be a HUGE bitch like Carla.
That's it, #62. Snowsilver. She always spews such patronizing drivel under the guise of being "compassionate". You can just hear her ending every thought with "bless her heart".
Is Carla's nasty spawn still around? You know, Mapshit's bestie/roomie?
pea kids
My guess is 63 was pwned by compwalla in a religious debate. Get over it.
I like C. Voila, but I think she has trouble keeping her party line straight, like she tries too hard to put up a perfect front. A For Instance: a month or two ago she posted on a giving-up-pop thread that she no longer drank tea. Her latest blog post? Making sun tea.
I wonder about all her weight loss posts, too.
that luvmythree is a nasty piece of shit.

Still puzzling over what Lovemythree said about us not having "coochballs."
No, we do not have "coochballs." But this must be the sort of anatomical oddity that sets her apart from other women. She shouldn't be ashamed of being a hermaphrodite, though.

Um, there was a very well published memo to the Bush Administration that there was an "imminent danger" to the US just before the 9/11 attacks. I don't think he knew what was going to happen, I think he knew there was going to be an attack on American Soil, and that it would give him the political currency he needed to go after Saddam for trying to kill his Daddy.
I don't give a shit if anyone thinks its too crazy. Several people vent their opinions here because they don't feel like dealing with the crazy at the bukkit. What's the big deal. How about YOU unclench and move on?

Of course he did. How can you forget his deer in the headlights, oh fuck, I screwed up look. Of course he didn't know exactly where and when they were going hit but he knew of the threat. He failed to protect us. He had to know the World Trade Center was a target. He caused so much death and destruction to American and Iraqi lives. Worst President in American history.

++++++++++++++++
Why does it matter BHO doesn't wear his turban in public either.
Any ideas here? (I don't want to post info on board and make it look like there's a paypal button to follow LOL)Here's the deal.
Husband and wife. Had just bought a newish vehicle. Husband becomes very ill. Wife has to stay home to take care of him. Vehicle payment is high. Need to keep it to take him to appointments. Can't really downgrade much from what it already is/already tried to refinance, not happening.. House payments are decent but can't (really don't want to sell house).
Ideas on fund raisers? How can you have a fund raiser and have it go all to the bank to help pay truck down (or even pay it off?)
Far stretch here but I know deep down that for all the bitchiness we spew here there are some nice people that maybe know of some way to do this. A website where people can help organize something? Anything? (I don't want to say what body organ; that could give away too much info of who I am). I've contacted the website and had no response. (Like american cancer society, american lung association). No response from the foundations website. So please if you can, help.
Sorry for shitty paragraping. I can't believe I'm asking this here but to all the bitchy sweethearts, I'm asking to respond if you know of any way to do this.
paragraphing*
I forgot to add that we probably will be losing the house and vehicle soon if we don't get help. Selling both would leave us homeless (and wouldn't even be able to sleep in the vehicle). No family near us to help (not that they're in any shape to help).
I know it is easy to say sell both and rent and use public transportation but there's no public transporation here. Please just don't suggest it. Internet is cheap here and it's the only thing we have for entertainment (no tv service).
So don't suggest that either. As for phone, my brother does help us with that from where he lives (far away from us).
TIA
Neither husband nor wife has a job?
I'm not sure how you're expecting to keep a car and house payment with that?
Husband needs round the clock care? Can someone else (family) help so wife can get a job?
Yes I was expecting a paypal link after all that crap. Basically you don't want to change any part of your lifestyle but you want other people to pay off your debts?
Typical peatard shit.
No public transport "around here" then move the hell to somewhere there is. Rent out the house and move to a one bedroom apartment next to the hospital if you need to.
I hate to break it to you, no-one is coming along on a white horse to rescue you and magically pay off all the debt.
How did you get into this mess in the first place? Why haven't you both worked and saved up for the "rainy day"?
All your 'don't even suggest it' shows us who you really are a whiner who thinks the world owes them a living.
If he needs expensive medication, contact the pharaceutical company. Most have a patient assistance program where they will give you the meds for free or for a small $20 co-pay.
"Internet is cheap here and it's the only thing we have for entertainment (no tv service).
So don't suggest that either."
You don't have a deck of playing cards or board games, can't go for walks?, can't borrow books from the library?, can't borrow dvd's from the library?, can't just sit and talk?
If you can't afford your bills you can't afford to pay to be entertained either.

------------------------
The three biggest assets, the ability to work, a "newish" vehicle that still has payments, and home equity are off the table? Well then, cash in your rainy-day fund, the IRA, and check the couch cushions. Until you have depleted your own assets, you shouldn't be asking others for a handout. Lack of responsibility on your part does not constitute an emergency for everyone else.

So you have a TRUCK with high payments and you can't downgrade?!?!?
Buy a cheap beater car to get him to and from appointments. No you don't need an expensive truck to do that, you just want one.
Unless hubs is flat on his back and you are rolling his gurney into a truck bed.
I don't have any ideas for raising money other than get a job.
Damn LOL I got the response I expected. I'll try to answer some. We had and were still saving for that rainy day and it has come and gone. All saved money had to come out to bridge us hoping he was going to get better. He has not. He can walk but not far. (Will not give many details on that). I have to be here with him.
I would prefer to go back to work and so would he. He has disability payments right now that take care of things (through a great plan they had at work - that forced him to apply for SS right away. That will lower our income (I'm looking for help before that happens). As for medications he has COBRA insurance in place (for 2 more months) and that pays for meds.
LOL about rolling his gurney onto the truck, good one. Luckily I still have a sense of humor.
I guess I'll just go back to work and leave him here to crawl when he needs something. @@
If someone has any suggestions, please feel free to add them.
I'll look at the responses again later if I missed something LOL Stop being such hard asses LOL We've worked our asses off and never asked for anything and now the state won't help because his work's payments through disability are too high LOL. Most people would have already lost everything. Just trying to avoid that here without leaving him hanging all day.
101 I stated no family around here.
At my church, we have volunteers who will provide help at home. You sound like a good Christian. Why don't you contact your church?
The vehicle was bought right before this happened. Bank has not been helpful. We are not late on anything and do not plan on being. Just sucks to think it could happen.
I see people having all these fund raisers and I hell I don't know. Just wanted advice if someone new anything. I hate handouts, never thought I'd accept anything like that but at this point I believe I would, graciously (not like P gift grabs lol).
I'll have to look into home equity. I'm not sure which number suggested that. Things are depleted. Sure I could go get a beater but that's just what I need, to be stranded on the road all the time.
Are the nicer bitches sleeping still? Probably working. I WANT TO GO BACK TO WORK AND SO DOES HE.
This from Teabagger Nutjob Rand Paul: Just because a couple people on the Supreme Court declare something to be ‘constitutional’ does not make it so. The whole thing remains unconstitutional. While the court may have erroneously come to the conclusion that the law is allowable, it certainly does nothing to make this mandate or government takeover of our health care right"
************************************************
Holy shit. Does this guy even understand what the Supreme Court DOES??
By Rand's logic, I guess Citizen's United is unconstitutional as well. After all, a couple of people on the SC declared it to be so. Moran.

130, I'm sorry your husband is ill. But I don't understand why you seem to feel so entitled to maintain your middle class existence when your circumstances have changed dramatically.
If your hubby is really so ill he can't be left alone, look into social services to get him some help.
Hard circumstances mean hard choices. You might have to let your house go. You might have to let your vehicle go. Everyone else is just trying to get by; why would you expect people to dig into their pockets to help you maintain the standard of living that you WANT/EXPECT?
Jesus. It's like talking to Libis here.
Seriously #140.
I have a friends who was in a terrible abusive marriage, hated her husband. He went to Afghanistan, and she told me she hoped he would die.
He got injured badly, lost a limb.
Now all of a sudden, he's the "Most Amazing Hero" and the best man ever! And all the while, there are fund raisers all over the place for them, when he medical is 100% covered by the military, and he's still getting a paycheck. So far he's been given multiple cars, (including a famous one from a movie) and a motorcycle tricked out by Harley. They have a different "Fundraiser" every month and the proceeds help take them all over the country on vacations. The latest one is a plea to help pay for a to-your-door diet service because they've both gained a lot of weight recently.
I get that people are injured, but that doesn't entitle you to the world.
#99, Do the tough thing. Cancel your internet, your cable. Sell the truck, even if you take a loss, at least your payments will end a lot sooner than if you had kept it. Buy a bus pass. Work a part-time job at night while your husband is sleeping. Offer to babysit at your home. Have a garage sale. Sell things on craigslist. Don't get your hair done, don't go out to eat. There are ways to sacrifice to make it work, you just have to be willing to change your lifestyle.
But I don't understand why you seem to feel so entitled to maintain your middle class existence when your circumstances have changed dramatically.
-----------------
Kendra agrees.
Yes it sucks that you once had the income to buy an expensive truck and all that. Now hubby is sick and needs care. Your life will change. And not for the better.
They had a fundraiser here at Culvers. The husband was very well known in the community, had a big accident at work, ended up in the burn unit at the hospital and could not work. People in the community set it up, his wife and kids did not. They arranged a night were some percentage of every purchase at Culvers went to a fund for the family. Volunteers were there on the night, handing out flyers at the drive thru. Turn the flyer in with your payment so they got credit. They advertised it well and lots of the community was there, hanging out, they had a band outside, people were in lawn chairs, and the lines were super long.
Culvers got a ton of business that night and the fund got a big donation.
As for a beater, I drive a 12 yr old Ford. It has 176,000 miles on it, no AC, and rust. It does not break down and leave me stranded. The only times I have been left stranded was when I did not replace the tires and got a flat. Now, I have roadside assistance with my car insurance for that.
Buy a beater and a triple A membership. Stop being a snob.
I hear Romney's bus is outside the White House, honking furiously.
Sorry your husband is ill. I've got no advice, other than scramble and sell shit.
Unfortunately.
He's been sick for two years now. We've done fine. We don't want to ask for anything. We do not feel entitled as some have suggested. (I truly hope you never have to deal with anything like this).
As for people saying get rid of cable, we do not have cable. I'd love to get a job while he sleeps but his sleep habits are not normal. I've driven beaters, I'm not above it so the snob comment wasn't needed. I did not want a new vehicle he did.
I guess there's no help. (I could foreclose, adding to the problem and live in my truck). Thanks.

June 28, 2012 9:57 AM
Thanks for the initial concern. Social Services will not help. They claim we make too much (his disability pay) and will not help. Until we're destitute they will not help. I have already given up my insurance (no the state will not help).
I get making hard choices, I've been doing it for two years now. It sucks. I was just asking if anyone knew of some way out without having to sell. I'm not a fucking Libis. So, with your initial concern turned hate, fuck you very much.
Yes, my life could be better right now, why don't you kick my head in while I'm down here.
I really would never wish this on anyone, things happen. Be prepared! We thought we were with our cushy savings/investments. @@
Yep, sell the damn newer vehicle. Buy a used and older model. Place liability only insurance on it. Bet you have a bigger, nicer house than you need, sell and downsize, or rent. No eating out, no manicures, fancy coffees, new clothes, magazines, cancel cable. Use coupons, buy generics, buy in bulk, no expensive snack foods, etc. I don't have any of these nice things (ok, do have basic cable) why should I pay for yours??
I've been there 146, so you have my sympathies. I hope things get better for you.
Will your husband recover from his illness?
No he will never recover.
You know, two years ago I sat here and gave the same advice, so I get where all of you are coming from. Tables turned and all that - Karma if you will, right?
Vehicle - sell it dumbass
House - sell it dumbass

Don't eat out, never had a manicure, never bought magazines, clothes are two years old (nothing new here), don't have cable. I use coupons (I don't even buy the paper, my Mom sends them to me lol), I don't buy snacks, we don't go out to eat. I've really gone without and cut back. I don't need the obvious advice. It was a simple question - there are a million fund raisers I gave a lot of money to over the years, I just don't know how they go about doing them. I guess I'm just shit out of luck.
I'll message from the library next time while my truck is parked out back with my sleeping bag (i don't own a sleeping bag lol).
LOL Like I said before, I'm not oblivious to our situation and we're not late on anything. I like to think I'm one of the smarter people looking ahead. I will sell things when it comes to it but where's the help I offered all those times, ya know?
No I don't want anyone to have to dig in their pockets for me, I do not feel entitled. I hate this shit. I knew posting this here would get these responses and that's fine. I may or may not respond to the dumbass ones. Whatever.
If there are any fund raising guru's out there, speak up. (Isn't KAS one? JustT too?) Where does one turn?
not2peased here,
if someone owes money on a vehicle, they can't just sell it for less than they owe. don't people know this shit??? you have to give someone the title to the vehicle and if there is money owed, the bank or lending institution holds the title. buying a cheaper car doesnt work either unless you pay cash (and if the OP had cash she wouldnt be in this situation, would she?)no one is going to give a car loan to someone who already has a loan they can't pay on. that said, I think I'd be looking at surrendering the house to foreclosure (or shortsale)of course you should first explore any options available to you for re-writing the loan, etc but if you cant do it-let the house go and move someplace you can afford. I'd try to hang onto the vehicle if possible. as for the fund raiser-what happens when the fund raiser is over? you can't afford your expenses. a temporary reprieve is just that-a temporary reprieve. it doesnt solve the underlying issues which is higher expenses than income. as far as you needing to be home- do you have any family that could help? what about visiting nurses or a home health aid? see if insurance will cover that. is it possible for you to check on him at lunch? can a family member drop by and check on him too? anything you can do at home? how about babysit someone;s child? what about provide a home for someone with a brain injury? there are things you can do but sitting at home trying to figure out how to get others to give you money isnt really a "plan"
Thank you not2peased. Home nurses have been discharged already. Family is nowhere near us and are in no shape to help (see OP). As for a fundraiser (see OP) I wondered if there was one where ALL the proceeds went to the bank where the loan is for the truck. I dont want the money. If that truck was paid I would have extra income each month since it wouldn't be going to the bank.
I've looked into those WAH programs and they all seem like scams - anyone know of one that isn't?
I don't sit home trying to figure out how to get others to give money LOL I am doing what I can here to take care of him, he is priority #1.
I feel like I'm a P who is trying to ignore all the advice but I'm really just kind of answering the questions. I get how things work, I'm not stupid.
Thank you not2peased for your help. Thanks for having my back.

Hate to break it to you, cupcake, but you're desperately clinging to a middle class life you're going to have to let go of. Unless you can do what you're hoping to do - pull a Libis and guilt people into donating money to your "cause".
I'd rather give my money to help a needy child than an adult who acts like a petulant, entitled baby.
not2peased,
put an ad in the paper offering daycare (assuming you have this skillset and your house isnt a dump)reach out to people you know to see if anyone needs childcare. contact agencies in your area that provide support services to people with brain injuries. these agencies pay people to have someone live in their house. you are already playing nursemaid to your husband so you must have some experience/skills here. in many cases a brain injured person doesnt need complete nursing care-just support so that they dont burn the house down, help accessing community services (rides places)etc. perhaps you could provide respite care for someone else. find the agencies and contact them.

Your DH has been ill, but you went out and bought a newish vehicle?
Yes - I'm afraid posters before me are correct.
You need to come to terms with your "new normal".
Eventually - you DO need to sell the car and house.
Start getting ready for your downsizing right now:
* Have a "pre-moving" sale and sell anything you will not be able to take to a smaller home. (do you have 2 couches? Dining and kitchen table? Extra bedroom furniture?) This will give you cash and prepare you for a move.
* Get that house listed for sale NOW - not later.
* Go thru anything and every thing and ebay what you can = more $$$
* Craigslist is another option.
* Start looking for a small, part-time job at a nearby, mom and pop type business. Small, locally owned businesses are more likely to let you work flexible hours so you can break-up your work hours or even go home to check your husband.
* Invest in a "life-alert" type system for your DH. Insist he wear and use it! This will allow you to work 3 or 4 hour shifts with some peace of mind.
* Search the Two Peas board for previous posts on how to save money. The Peas can be real bitches, but many are really nice and have shared ideas on simple money saving techniques over the years.
Above all - embrace the change. Honestly, there are no things or possessions as important as your DH and your marriage. Let.the.stuff.go. Take a few days to mourn the loss of your previous life - then move on.
Don't get stuck in the past - it really does no good. Look to the future and appreciate what you HAVE, not what you lost.
Good Luck!

I only got nasty with one person who obviously didn't read the OP and kept saying stupid shit.
I don't need your sympathy or your money. Thanks for caring! Did you not read that I'm going to get rid of everything and live in my holey clothes? You missed a section (go back and read it again). I'll see you at walmart (where my holey clothes will get posted on pow.com) k? BTW, I've given lots to those babies in need.
158? Can't you read? OP says the vehicle was bought BEFORE all of this happened.
I agree #158.
When the economy hit hard a few years ago, we sold our house and started renting a three bedroom duplex. It was a nice duplex, almost as big as our old house, but the payments were almost $1,000 a month less than our mortgage.
Our SUV was repossessed after trying to make payments for over a year that we just couldn't afford anymore. I was mortified about not having a nice vehicle at first, but I got over that real quick. ;) We used our tax return and bought a very old minivan. We researched and researched and found one that had great reviews for durability and longevity. Just these two fixes alone saved us $1600 a month.
We got rid of all cable and internet, it was hard. We used Netflix, and luckily we lived next to a school and were able to use their wifi, obviously that wasn't the nicest thing to do, but it helped a lot when we needed to go online for school projects etc...
We NEVER ate out. I learned how to meal plan, down to snacks. I planned every meal for the day, and then figured out how to make it from scratch (which is way cheaper.) I made my own bread etc...This saved us a ton of money.
And then, when things still seemed to be tight, my husband took a second job at a fast food restaurant from 6pm-1am. He worked his ass off to keep us afloat. This is what real sacrifice is.
Thankfully things are about a million times better now, we are doing better now than before the economy tanked, but the great thing is, we know how to sacrifice, we know how to live on less than 2K a month, so now we're able to save a ton of money every month, and afford the extras in life.
It's hard, but you do what you have to do.
Losing the life you've worked for sucks. You're grieving a lot of things - your husband as you knew him and your life as you knew it.
I'm truly very sorry that you're experiencing this. There but for the grace of god....
I'm not sure what you want? If you're looking for information on a fundraisers, then you should probably look elsewhere.
At this point, it seems that you are merely looking for sympathy. Your situation is awful. I am truly sorry.
What do you hope to get out of your posts? I am not being snarky.
158 I've done all those things (except the part-time job). I WILL be going back to work when the time comes and he's able to do better. Right now (I haven't mentioned this) he has a million tests and appointments. Not likely to be hired asking for time off immediately. I'm hoping this stuff slows down so I CAN GO BACK TO WORK. I hope he gets better.
I've already gotten rid of everything but the house and vehicle, it's that simple. I'm down to selling those and well it was a simple question asked and I knew what I would get from here. (Although people aren't reading everything and just answering or they're missing parts and offering advice on things I've already done.)
I know it's 1/2 and 1/2 here with mean jerks and sweet people so I understand where everyone is coming from. No need to berate though (not you 158). It's simple, I sell my shit. No biggie. Just wanted a question answered. One question.
161, that's about what we live on now. I feel bad for you that you had to do that. I am happy though that you're both able to work.
My house payment is nowhere near what yours was. It's only $600. I will handle it even without any type of fundraiser but it just seems every person who is ill has one LOL I figured it wasn't going to hurt to ask how if anyone knew. (screw the lady who said google it, i have and there are laws out the ass) Anyway.
I'm not wallowing in sorrow here, we are very happy no matter what happens here. We would be happy wherever because that's the way we are.

Information from people who are in the know of how to do one and have proceeds go directly to the bank. I know (see OP) this isn't the place to ask. I asked here because of the nicer people who do help when they can (with info not money LOL).
Thanks for answering and I saw no snark in your response.
Rand Paul went to the same correspondence law school that Lynloon did. The one that advertised in the back of MAD magazine along with the X-ray glasses and sea monkeys.
Thanks to those that offered what help they could. I won't be around until later so don't keep smackin' on me, mmmkay? :P
I'm sorry for your situation #163. Can you start to think outside the box for some opportunities to look for work? I know one friend that wanted to be a SAHM, but needed a little income. She posted signs at hospitals advertising overnight daycare...she now watches three kids for nurses that work the night shift. She has an extra bedroom that they sleep in. She basically plays with them for a bit, puts them to sleep, then feeds them breakfast before they get picked up. One other friend went to a college, and posted signs offering her services as a personal assistant to Professors. She listed what she was willing to do (pick up dry cleaning, get groceries and other shopping, general errands and stuff like that). Once she got a good client base, she added home cooked meals to that list. She would make meals, package them in microwaveable containers and stock the refrigerators for them. After doing it for a year, she was making more money that her DH at his full time job! Could you start cleaning homes? You could schedule jobs around your DH's appointments. Are you able to mow lawns? Clean gutters? There are lots of (legal) services you could provide, while taking the needed time to care for your DH. Good luck!
not2peased you are not *afraid* to post here under your name. maybe you could ask over there if anyone knows how the fundraisers work? i am sure there are people over there who know.
I'd probably try appealing to community services for a grant/help before I'd go the fundraiser route.
Churches, charities, non-profit groups that help the working poor, women etc. You'll probably need to do a bit of research (yay internet) and legwork to find them. Hell I'd try hitting up the Ellen show - what can it hurt?
Best of luck to you. Shit like this sucks.
I'm one of the nicer peas. I hope you come back to see this.
I googled "Raise Money Online For Project" and found these
http://gofundme.com/
http://www.kickstarter.com/
There's more. Good luck to you and God bless.
not2peased here,
what exactly do you want me to ask 169? "how do fundraisers work for people who need them" isn't exactly going to help anyone answer the question. fundraisers work however the person or people who set them up wants them to work. be specific about exactly what you want me to ask and I will do it. No doubt I will get lambasted, but whatever, I'm willing to ask-even though I think it's a really, really stupid idea, nor do I think a fundraiser will work. just be sure you are prepared for the fallout...many folks are going to hate your ever-loving guts for trying to fundraise yourself out of bad financial planning. just sayin'
Honestly, I don't like the idea of a fundraiser, esp one started by the person needing funds.
Fundraisers work best when there's a cute sick kid/old person/puppy involved.
Has anyone ever seen Chief Justice Roberts' birth certificate????!!?
You lost my sympathy when you started getting nasty with people who were offering solutions you didn't want to hear.

Yeah pretty much here too.
Look no one here is in your situation. People offer ideas based on what they do. All you do is snark back at people that their ideas aren't good enough, you already did it blah blah blah. Supposedly you sleep on the floor of a junky house you cant sell and eat nothing but dried beans and rice while you care for your husband who can't be left alone for 3 hrs at a time, yet NO ONE will help you, no family near, no friends, no church, nada. Despite that you are "both very happy". I smell a rat. Well what the fuck ever sister, do you want a fucking miracle from a smack blog?
Its been 2 yrs, nothing is getting better for you at all, well I got nothing else to tell ya. I already gave my advice and all you did was bitch back at me. Call fucking Dave Ramsey and see what he says.
ROFL @ #174
I'm sorry, but how is getting struck with a debilitating disease "bad financial planning?"
not2peased here yet again,
I'm sorry, but how is getting struck with a debilitating disease "bad financial planning?"
that is what the peas will say when I ask the incredibly dumb question about how to throw a fundraiser for yourself to pay your bills.
you know how two peas works: everyone needs a war chest to pay their bills in perpetuity in case someone loses their job, insurance, whatever.
Oh, you know #177...the 'perfect' peas have a fully funded 401K, IRA, and at least 5 years of 'emergency' fund in the bank. If only they had planned better, they would still have 3 years of the emergency fund left...(snark because the dumb asses missed that this has been going on for 2 years, not 2 days or 2 months)
I have a question for the fundraiser lady, and I am not trying to be snarky, just a real question. If you do get a fundraiser pulled together, who do you think will come? A really good fundraiser either takes $$$$ or really good connections to set up, and it looks like you don't have either. I'm really not trying to be mean, but think two steps ahead...how much money and time do you have to put into organizing a fund raiser? How will you get people to come if you have no family, no church home, etc, etc?

This might be a dumb question, but in these photos, why are there several burned homes, then right next door there are more that are not burned? What caused the fire to just stop there?
That's how wildfires work. They skip around at random.
I didn't know that 182. Thank you
181 - Some people are just incredibly lucky. There really is no explaining it.
There were insane wildfires in California a few years ago and there were entire neighborhoods that were burned down...except for one or two homes on the block.
If anything, there is a chance that while the owners of the still standing homes were evacuating they could have turned on their sprinklers or something, but that is just a wild guess.
A very pissed off #158 here.
Jesus Fucking Christ OP!
No. You have NOT done everything you can. Your ego has really gotten in the way of common sense. Sell the fucking house and car!
It is VERY apparent that you want a bailout. You want free money without any pain. You are an idiot. You said your husband has been I'll for 2 yrs but you recently bought a car. What the hell!
Here's an idea if you want a bailout. Let the house go into foreclosure, let the car get repo'd and file for bankruptcy. Then you can go live in denial, which apparently you are very familiar and comfortable with.
I'm done with you. Idiot.
I am not that op, but I really don't understand the "sell the house' crap. She has a mortgage of $600! What are you going to rent for much cheaper than that???
You say you don't want anyone to dig into their pockets for you yet you want to do a fundraiser. Isn't a fundraiser a glorified way of asking people to dig into their pockets for you? Just because you want it to go directly to the bank to pay off your truck doesn't make it any less of a handout.
Why can't you leave your DH for a few hours? Surely you can schedule his appointments to work around a part time job. Have you thought of working evenings and hiring someone to check on your DH periodically while you work? I have a quadrapalegic friend who stays alone while his wife works during the day and they manage.
If you keep doing what you're doing now you're going to get the same results as you have been and that's clearly not working for you.
How many times do you have to be told, 185...
They bought the car BEFORE her husband got ill.
Your anger is getting in the way of your reading comprehension.
177 here...sorry for not catching teh sarcasm...lol
If they bought the vehicle before her DH got ill, they bought way more vehicle than they could afford. Payments for at least 3 years? Ya, couldn't afford it
I've had car payments for 5 years. So?
Stupid abounds at the bukkit. The thread (sorry forgot to copy and paste) where they are comparing universal health care to Public Education (a right versus a need) people on the right are complaining that Public Education is in shambles and that's why the Feds shouldnt run health care, the states should. They are citin NCLB as the reason feds should stay out of education.
Two things:
1. Who the fuck do you think came up with NCLB? That was GW and his cronies!!!
2. They are clamoring for healthcare (if it was to be mandated) to be organized at the state level because the federal government doesn't know how to manage its money. Um, aren't there a bunch of states in trouble with money too? California anyone??
FUCK they are stupid.
191...I haven't had a car payment in about 10 years. Makes life much simpler to only buy what you can afford. Plus, since I got off the payment roller coaster, I can afford much nicer cars.
Damn now the blog has its very own libis. o,0
Oh, you know #177...the 'perfect' peas have a fully funded 401K, IRA, and at least 5 years of 'emergency' fund in the bank.

And one could burn through all of that $$ with one serious medical issue.
This might be a dumb question, but in these photos, why are there several burned homes, then right next door there are more that are not burned? What caused the fire to just stop there?

We've already had to rely on all that we had saved. Yes, I'm back. No I haven't read everything yet.
I'm not sure, not2peased how to word it. I don't know that I really want you to do that. I just wonder how all these fund raisers I've given to in the past get started. I don't know where to go for help. (I guess I shouldn't ask for help so I'll drop it. Thanks again to those who googled help and offered. To those who think I'm some deviate, I expected that from here LOL - I've given the same type shitty responses to people down on their luck. You can just say karma is kicking my ass if you want. :P
Oh I will be responding to one other that I read. I have to go back and look at it LOL
180 I see your point. I've helped out others before and did not know them until I saw the flyers/ads whatever for fundraisers. Some people just do these things out of the kindness of their heart, not just because they "know" someone.
I will say I was a bit confused on the car issue but it is a mute point... you need help and need a place to turn. I am not sure fundraising is a viable option... usually with fundraisers there is some huge issue, such as a very sick child, war veteran, etc that the community rallies for. I am not sure what your husband illness is or what caused it (if anything) but your local charities might be able to help you better than looking for a fund raiser..... many churches have a ton of resources that may be able to assist you even if you aren't a member.
Unfortuantely however you worded your first inquiry it was taken as looking for a "way out" and I feel that wasn't your intent, just an option and how to go about it. Yes, Karma can be a bitch, but in the end, good things come to those who help themselves...
Take a look around your community... if your husband has an illness, look to support groups there, I am sure there are people in your shoes that might be able to either help with care or other means of support...
I am sorry you are going thru this...

June 28, 2012 12:55 PM
I only got bitchy with ONE person (and already addressed it) I'm not being bitchy now by stating it either but pointing it out.
Where did I say an idea wasn't good enough? I didn't. Now I sleep on the floor? Damn LOL I guess I'd better sell my bed so that can come true and make you happy. It seems this is not going to come out nicely while responding to you so take it as it reads, I'm not yelling it, just having a good ole conversation.
When did the house become junky? When did I say that - I haven't. Wow! I mentioned not eating out and yes, using coupons and you turned it into eating nothing but beans and rice? Wow!
This is good stuff. I said we're happy because we are happy - He's ALIVE, get it ALIVE. When you have that word it makes you happy to have what you have. It's called content that we're together. You seemed to have missed some things or took them out of context and that's ok, it happens.
Did I expect *a fucking miracle from a smack blog?* (your words quoted there). Nope, never expected a *fucking* miracle. I expected civil people to answer if they knew the backgrounds on how to get these kind of things started. (I guess if I had asked how do I get one started for a neighbor you would have been nicer? I doubt it). I had a simple question and you drew so many conclusions that make me laugh. People in my situation aren't always dragging around crying ya know, we have to stay strong. (I, even as mean as you were, never wish this on you).
I said before I knew there'd be responses like yours and that's ok. I used to dish out the same shit. I am glad you got it all off your chest.
As for me, I'm going to get off the blog again for a while. I have things to do. I hope that you all, especially 175 have an enjoyable evening. TTFN
