No internet, no TV

Just this morning, I saw one of the Discovery Health specials on the Duggar family, to whom I alluded yesterday. They just had their seventeenth child. Now, I'm really worried about them. As of the time of the special - when they only had fourteen children with number fifteen on the way - they had no Internet access and no television. They must have Internet access now, even if only through the public library near them, because they have a website. They go to church with only one other family,... Sign in to see full entry.

Time to check in

We are taking out a loan against our 401(k) to pay part of the back rent. So far, our landlord has served us with no further court papers, but I'm still assuming he's serious about taking further action. I was reading today on AOL about a couple who just had their seventeenth child - yes, you read right, they have 17 children. No, none of them are stepchildren, but related to both Mom and Dad. The Duggars apparently don't have any visible means of support beyond when someone pays them for the... Sign in to see full entry.

There is hope - we plan on looking into getting a loan against my husband's 401(k) plan, and seeking assistance from other sources as well. I have yet to reach my landlord to tell him the good news; whenever I dial the number, I get told that the call cannot be completed as dialed. I will probably have a longer entry tomorrow; I just don't have that much to talk about today. Sign in to see full entry.

No rest for the wicked, it seems

We owe several thousand dollars to our landlord, and I am very concerned about how to raise that money. We are looking into selling assets and other things. The problem is that my husband's salary isn't enough to pay our bills. I can't work because I'm so sick, and it often takes all my effort to write these entries. Today is one of those days. I'm just so tired. Sign in to see full entry.

It's been a while

The truth is that I have had little to say. I suppose I've fallen for the lie that states that nobody is really interested in what I have to say. The truth is different; I got get-well cards and messages aplenty from my Internet friends while I was hospitalized. People really are interested in what I write, no matter what my former boyfriend might think. Sign in to see full entry.

Oops! I forgot something.

Yesterday, I talked about the negative aspects of being a Mary Kay consultant. I failed to add further information about what some Pink Truth lurkers call the flopportunity. One of the things I failed to mention is that Mary Kay Cosmetics has a series of training materials that consultants are allowed to choose from. Although this is not stated outright, it is implied that these CDs, cassette tape sets, and other motivational materials are the only ones MK consultants should listen to. They...

No pink fog for me,thanks.

I've been surfing a site called Pink Truth the past few months, and I find it interesting. It's a blog written by a group of former Mary Kay Cosmetics consultants, and aimed towards those who have become disenchanted with the company. Current consultants are discouraged from reading this site, because it's considered too negative. Mary Kay Cosmetics has been in existence since the mid-1960s, if memory serves. It was founded by Mary Kay Ash, and she built the whole company on the concept that God... Sign in to see full entry.

I feel better - I think

I just got out of the hospital yesterday - my third hospital stay in four months; these stays were interspersed with trips to what seemed to me to be every rehab facility in the western suburbs. In short, I have been one sick puppy. In doing some judicious web surfing, I came across something I found quite interesting. This was written by my former boyfriend, There is a direct reference to me in there - the ex-girlfriend with a history of mental illness. What he doesn't realize is that he is...

Second verse, same as the first

It's been a rough few days. The cats are worried sick about me, and I've barely been getting up out of the living room chair. The only thing preventing me from calling 911 on myself this time around is the hospital bills - I am thoroughly sick and tired of hearing my husband gripe about all the bills. He doesn't seem to me to care one whit about me getting well - just about all the bills we'll run up. It's as if the universe is telling me to die or something - something I refuse to do. I hope to... Sign in to see full entry.

I *hate* this rash!

Garfield has been tending to my feline-nursing needs the past few weeks, with the rash on my tail end. (You can figure out where the rash really is; I don't want to use obscenities.) Yes, I have a cream for the rash, which I'm supposed to stop using no later than perhaps Thursday. But it's still miserable, and it hurts like - well, you know. I also talked to our landlord this afternoon. I gave him my personal deadline for clearing up our back balance. I just hope I feel better soon, so I can get... Sign in to see full entry.
