Well, today my a/c in the house freezes up. Finally after a day without air and the house at a toasty 90 degrees, and after I vacuum out the crap inside, my air is working. I called Dad before it got fixed to tell him. I called him mostly so he could come look at it. He snaps on me. He starts yelling he don't have any money. Then he blames William and says he must have hit something and made a leak. What lawn mower was used? What weedeater did he use? I don't know!!! He said he would call his uncle Billy and see if his sone that does a/c work can come out. Then he calls me and tells me to do it. Now why the heck do I wanna call someone up and ask them for a favor that I hardly know. We don't even know the guys name who works on the stuff. Gee. Then he tells me to keep it on 78. BULL! I WILL NOT. He starts acting like I had it on 60 or something. I couldn't even look at him b/c I knew if I did I would make hjis head roll off his body just by looking at him. Then I go and check my e-mail. These are 2 from him:
wish i could help some,but i have just made your electric bill payment and mine,$500 worth of gravel for you and me,$70 in repairs for the truck,havent made any tips for 2 weeks so that coupled with vacation pay instead of regular time is equal to about a $500 reduction in net pay,and various other unplanned things ive had to pay for has put me seriously LOW in the bank account. I HAVE LESS MONEY IN THE BANK THAN IVE HAD IN 2 YEARS. IM VERY NERVOUS ABOUT IT!!!
AS FOR THE A/C.......YOUR GONNA HAVE TO CUT IT OFF TILL IT THAWS OUT. AND THEN YOU NEED TO ADJUST THE TEMP TO 78 DEGREES OR ITS JUST GONNA FREEZE UP AGAIN. ITS RUNNING FULL STEAM WITHOUT A BREAK SO IT HAS NO TIME TO THAW. IF IT BREAKS I DONT HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX IT. SO YOU NEED TO TAKE REALLY GOOD CARE OF IT.
tonight ill see if jim will let me have some pizza for free as i swing back home from the m-class plant.
i hope rachell will be there cause jims a jerk most of the time.
sorry i cant do much,but ive spent a lot of money the last few weeks.......i know you understand fully cause you have bills now just like i do.......its painfull,but a part of life we all have to deal with.sad isnt it. wish i made a 100,ooo a year. if i did i could help everyone.but the most ive ever made in a year is 37,000 driving a truck.30,ooo at jacks. so.......im poor by wordly comparisons.......
on your car a/c.......cant help ya. it cost $700 to fix my truck a/c last year.thats why i havent repaired the mazda a/c. i deliver pizza with no a/c and all those hot pizzas in the car with me.i just roll the windows down and deal with it........its tuff,but i aint got no $700 to fix an a/c.
PRAY FOR THE MONEY TO BE ON THE CHECK. IF IT DONT COME THEN YOU NEED TO GET ON THE PHONE 6 TIMES A DAY EVERY DAY AND BUG THEM TILL YOU GET YOUR MONEY. CARRYTHEM TO SMALL CLAIMS COURT!!! GET THE LAW INVOLVED WITH IT!!!

No, he wouldn't do any more than he does now if he had a million dollars coming in every week. There is nothing that needs done to the trailer he wants to rent. It is fine. New carpet, new paneling, FINE. I don't care that he stays hot in his car, he doesn't have 2 babies to care for. All I asked was for him to look at it. No, I didn't even get to ask, he just jumped down my throat. OK, here is the next one:
and my fridge is going out. it cuts off for hours at a time !
500+500+70+100+100+1100+144+363+120+270+35=2939.......this is the amount of money ive spent for needed things for me and paying families bills and doing things for the family...my family. hope you dont mind if i use your shoulder a little to cry on to. WE CAN GET THROUGH THIS TOGETHER IF WE WILL GIVE EACH OTHER EMOTIONAL SUPPORT.......PRAY HARD!!!
GOTTA GO...LOVE YA...BY
Now, he knows the power bill money is coming. I am in a bind and can't help that. He paid $450 or so for gravel in his driveway and mine. I DID NOT ASK FOR IT. What emotional support does he need? I can't carry him. I am being carried by my family right now. My poor sister is probably nuts by now. She and her husband have helped me so much the past week. Chris has hauled my trash, checked on my phone line, looked at the a/c, and they even gave me a key to their house in case my a/c freezes tomorrow. They brought me a fan, bought me toilet tissue, gave me cat food and litter, and let my cats stay at their house while mine was being sprayed for ants. I really hope I can return all this kindness. I fell guilty and needy and I HATE it. But, luckily, they were in a situation to help and did so without complaint. I am truly blessed to have them in my life.
So, the house is cooling down slowly. THANK GOD! I was sweating and feeling so nasty. The heat index tomorrow is supposed to be around 110. I will be staying indoors for sure, LOL.
Well, enough babble for now. Off to get a snack.
