So many Bills, So little Money!

Every hear the Term "Robbing from Peter to Pay Paul"?

This appears the appropriate term that we have been using During our Winter months here in Hartford City Indiana.

We have Ran into a MAJOR Snag with the Gas Company here, more major then last winter. lets just say that we had to get on a Payment plan cause our bill for a 3 month period all together was about 2/3's our Income combined together. More then what it was last year.

The good thing, I suppose, is that we got a hold of winterzation program here locally, they sent someone out to check out our furnace and water heater. unfortunately, we've had a Small Flood in the basement, since winter is leaving, water is draining in our basement.

So he's going to come back with a friend to check in Mid summer, if it's all Dried up, we will be getting our water heater and furnace replaced to a 90% Efficiency. So hopefully this coming winter will be a better winter for us once we get our Ancient Furnace and water heater replaced with a newer model.

Until then, we are paying off our debt to the gas company that was their fault, but of course being a monopoly, they will not own up to their end of screwing us over cause they know they can get away with the shit cause we need gas to heat with.

Anyway, on the other note... Our Kitchen Renovation will have to be put on Hold for next year most likely, due to the high debt with the gas company, we won't be able to afford the materials to redo our kitchen this summer, the Kitchen is function able so it's not too big of a deal, but looking at an unfinished kitchen has it's draw backs of not wanting to go in the kitchen, cause of the look of unfinished, it's kinda Stressful.

A Little Snow, A lot of Cold

How is everyone on this Fine COOOOOOLD morning?

As usual it's cold, Gas prices are still slightly down enough that it's not going to brake the bank for us this winter, well lets hope anyway, me and my ole lady are rejoycing because of it.

Normally around this time of the year, our gas bill runs around 350.00 a month during the winter, this hits us hard being low income and all. But we need heat for ourselves, our pets and our son. So we have to find away to pay it, we have also been trying to make a little extra money by selling some of our Hand Crafts on etsy store.

Of course, we haven't been doing very well with that either, I think it's because we don't have our name out there yet, or it's people don't like what we craft, whatever the veriable is behind why we arn't getting business, maybe it's not ment to be, Who knows.

We've tried getting a Job, but being Handicapped, the economy and the job market will now allow, you might as well say, have a Job because of Limitations they say, or they say, we don't have any openings, but yet, you see an imediate Hiring as soon as someone walks in the door, Then when you claim to throw a Law Suite on them, They just claim that the Job requires Heavy Lifting, Requires Upper area Organizing or anything that they can come up with to not hire you cause you will put a Damper on Sales cause you are what the customers see when they walk into the Store or office.

So, the best work I found, if we got sales that is, is behind the computer, I don't have to worry about listening to Dumb ass people say, You are under or over qualified, we arn't hiring right now, we can't hire you because it requires this and that, It's all Bullshit, So to eliminate the Middle man and work for Stupid people, I will work for myself, and what better boss to have?

You are your own Boss, You make your own Hours and Pay what better way is there? It's what I've always wanted... not really for Scroll Sawing, but more for Computers, But computers are moving so fast, i'm not sure what I want anymore so right now I'm sticking with Scroll Sawing.
