I figured I talk alot why not write a lot also.

It's been a while since I have posted here, about 3 or 4 weeks. I'm sure that's not much for some but for me, an online addict, it's a lot. I miss the arguments, the nonsense and the good stuff. I have no PC at the moment so my posting is limited to my visits to the library, such as today.

Well, my new journey has not yielded any jobs yet but I have lots of faith that something will come around soon. I do have some minor problems that I believe are the cause for my not finding a job yet, but for the moment I can't solve them. Well one of them could be solved by next week, but the solution could have been better. You see, I depend on my mother-in-law's cell phone when I fill out applications. The problem? Simple, she works till 6:00 PM, she turns off the phone most of the time, the answering machine does not have my name on it and I'm not sure if she checks her messages often. I try not to ask cause it seems to bother her. Man did I get myself in a pickle or what? In a way I knew it was a bad idea to move in with my mother-in-law, but we had no where else to go and I needed to get back to the US somehow. Not to mention that she has our money in her bank account and we have to struggle to get her to give us a few bucks from it. he does not trust us and I don't blame her, but it only makes it harder for us. I'm stuck till I get a job, even at McDonalds.

We wanted her to give us some of the money for a cell phone. There is a very cheap phone company that does not need contracts and I could have used them to get a cell so that I could put that number on the applications and get the calls myself, they are cheap, about $30 a month and I don't get any bills. But she chose to put a house phone instead, costing twice as much and not allowing me to be mobil. not to mention that the bill is under her name. I fell she is not making it any easier for us and it's not easy to let her know. I can only pray to get a job soon so I can have some cash flow and move out ASAP. I will not give up, I will hold out as long as I can and will avoid arguments as much as possible.

Well, it's not all bad. I have a car now, but without money I can only go so far on a few bucks of gas. I guess even here she makes it a bit hard as well.

Anyways. All in all we're OK. Happy to be back. I find this struggle to be temporary and part of being new to the area. I will prevail soon and I will succeed cause I believe.

I may not be able to respond to any replies as fast as I use to but I will come around once in a while. Nice to see eveyone again. later.

I hope you find something soon. It would be great if you found someone who would hire you on the spot. Then you could get moving to your other goals. I lived with my in-law's for about six months and it was very challenging and I even like my in-laws. It's a hard situation.

Thanks for the updatge DJ.  I hope things work out soon, and you will be back on line!  Once you get settled, if you need a computer, I got one on ice for you.  Just give me a hollar here and I will send you my email and we can do the deed.

It will not be a super speedway great one, but it runs XP well enough if you stay away from AOHell!

Thanx for the replies. I really do miss the place.

I do have some good news, I start working tomorrow. I went to this job agency called kelly Services, I had used them before but it was too far and I was not doing good on money. But my mother-in-law gave me a full tank of gas today and I went and just as I knew I got a job instantly. I'm very happy since my mother-in-laws boyfriend is acting stupid about us being there already. Man, it has barely been 2 weeks since we got here and he is already complaining. I expected this to happen at least after a month, oh well. My mother-in-law is on our side, she will help us out till we can move out, which we hope is ASAP.

I'll keep you up to date on how things go, and DrGuy thanx for the offer about the PC, I will however stick to how things are for now. My hopes is to be able to build a great PC once I'm settled in, and I want to earn it. Thanx again. See everyone later.

Ever heard of "pass it down". Should you need it, it is yours. WHen you get yours, just pass it on to someone who has less.

The offer is open.

Actually things have gotten better. I had a talk with my mother in-law. She is getting fed up with he boyfriend and is planning on kicking him to the curb. It seems his attitud is nothing new. We convinced her to give us some money so that I could find a job faster. I got a metroPCS phone now, very cheap and not too bad. And I also got a job. A real good one. Things are looking up already. If all goes well I should be out of the house within a month or so.

I don't blame her for not giving us our money, we do have a track record of bad money handling. But we are improving, besides the money in the bank will be necesary to move out as well so we should avoid spending it as much as possible. Only the essentials.

I don't understand how this is justification for her to withhold YOUR money from you. If it's yours, and you want to spend it all on cotton candy and you guys end up broke and out on the streets with tons of cavities, well...that's you guys' business.

For someone who is out of work, 24/7 access to a telephone IS essential.Glad to see things are looking up.


My point exactly. At least I made her see the light and now she can't complain. I have a job. Funny though, I never did use this phone to get the job, I just happen to get the job the same day as I bought the phone. I guess cell phones work even when you don't use them. . I love technology.

Yep!  Murphy's law.
