You were living the lyrics of a sad country song?
I do right now
1)Unemployed since August
2)Flat broke and Busted
3)Car out of commission
4)No woman in my life
5) Dog died(ok that happened a few years ago but it "fills out" the lyrics)
Sometimes Surviving is just getting through another day of failing hope. Good thing for me what my grandfather said about me as a boy is still true, "That boy don't have even an ounce of quit in him."
HA - just keep moving forward. If you do, you'll do fine.
HA,yup,been there,just don't ever forget what your grandfather said,he sounds like he was a smart man.
Keep your chin up,and I'll be praying for you.
I hope something starts to go your way soon!
I just love this!:
"That boy don't have even an ounce of quit in him."

27,000,000 Thats twenty seven Million unemployed in America. That is a lot of humans. Hoosierarcher, one positive thing you could do for both body and mind is devote massive energy to physical fitness, hard to to beat walking for cheap healthy exercise. Good Luck.
Hey, it could be worse, just consider this:
1. My Wife Ran Off With My Best Friend, And I Sure Do Miss Him
2. I started out with nothing still have most of it left
3. She Got The Ring And I Got The Finger
4. I'm So Miserable Without You; It's like Having You Here
And my personal favorite:
Who put a stop payment on my reality check?
Just know this.
You WILL get through it because just like anything else, this is a phase that you have to ride out.
Sourdough is right, as usual. Get out there and start walking. It's cheaper than Prosac and guaranteed to work on body and mind.
Me too HA. I was down in the doldrums a few weeks ago(still am a bit). All I can say is I hope things soon start to improve and in the meantime, you've probably got the biggest, funniest dysfunctional family ever, to have a moan to!
I truly do feel you!
Been out of work since July
clutch went out on my wagon
and a teenager ran a stop sign and killed my Civic
Out of work since June. Some businesses are closing up and heading for parts unknown. Right now the only thing hiring(?) is transportation,OTR and stuff like that.So I may have to head off to truckers school.
Other than that everything is fine... except the cold driving the mice indoors,Our Cat is getting a workout.
I feel like......Looks like I will be getting divorced. But hey life goes on!
Awwww,so sorry CowboySurvival,hate to hear that.Quote:

HA - Hang in there, buddy and take advantage of those VA benefits.
CS - I'm sorry to hear that. It's tough enough on adults but really tough on the little folks. Make sure she knows none of it is her fault and both of you still love her. She needs the reassurance.
Sarky - Dang man. Sorry about your luck, too. Did the kid have insurance to replace your Civic? I'd get nothing out of my truck if someone hit it but the darn thing is fine for me and keeps right on chuggin'. You can't replace that.

I've been unconscious

I've been unruly, speaking truly

Just wanted to share a little more upbeat country song to try to help out some of the bad sh!t that's going down with my friends out there....hang in there guys.
Woe is me! Life sucks and then you die! Want some more cheese with that wine? nobody loves me, everybody hates me, I'm gonna go eat worms. Yada yada!
Yep, things are tough all over for "some". "Some" never had nothin to begin with. For some it's so bad they "try" not to think about it.
I can't even begin to talk about all my woes. it's just too much too bear and no good can come from it.
I just try to make it better, pray, and remind myself that others have it much worse.
CS I'm sorry to hear about that. Been through it myself and it gets better...................eventually.
Yeah the way things are right now it is tough everywhere.We all just have to suck it up and Drive on.That is what survival is,just keep on going forth no matter how bad it may seem,or how hopeless it seems.It's making it to "the other side" of whatever trouble or problem or predicament we find in our way. Hoping the best for all my survival mates.You're all in my prayers.
Well said Poco.
Well at least we're a compassionate bunch.
Can I take your picture before you jump off that ledge? You need to step back a bit. I can't quite get you in the picture. Now where the h@!! did he go?
If there's a will... (I wanna be in it!)
If ya sing it backwards, you get:Quote:

Thats the way country songs are supposed to work.....'course works better if you have Mama, Jail, train, rain in the song.
(Perfect Country Song by David allen Cole)
Hang in there..........
Off of work for 2-1/2 years now, DW as well,......was ahead of the game, prepping for The SHTF, It did...so doing O.K.
Might even Retire for real!
In spite of all the hardships many are going through, I believe that those I have met here are some of the strongest and supportive people yet. As cliche as it may sound, things will get better. My thoughts go out to those without work...been there. It is hard to define yourself without list what you do instead of who you are. In the long run, I am stronger from my struggles with the job hunt but this isnt the time for that. CS, I hope all works out for you as well.
Thanks all for your thoughts. Just to let you know the little one is mine, not ours. I have had custody since she was one. She is the very air I breath! So long as we have each other we'll be fine. Now if I can figure out how to be a single Dad again with horses? 2 houses....yeah it is alot more complicated than it used to be. But I have a plan that just may put us in really good shape. We are having a civil divorce no fighting here! We were married 1 year....
To all of you that are going through tough times right now, there are probably no words that we can offer that will help. Just know that there are a whole lot of folks that care, are willing to listen, and praying for your success and happiness.

I agree...well said Crash!
Put me down for what Crash said.
Although the situation is not good,it is better than I feared. When that happened to me I just thought the world had ended,losing the kids was worse than the loss of the wife. It won't be easy, but it is better than I had feared. I was real worried there for a while,'cause I know how much she means to you.Quote:

Man, you people are the best, truly! I can't belive the compassion an support you give each other.
Please, always remember this little fact of nature, what dosn't kill us makes us stronger!
Sorry to hear this.Quote:

been there, haven't traveled too far away.
meeting a great girl changes things considerably, i must say.
keep yourself busy, it's the best advice i can give, for what it's worth.
rwc this wasn't about whining this was about the lighter side of hard luck.Quote:
