Thanks tazber. It's been a while since I have been on this message board. I really miss all the wonderful people like yourself tazber. I hardly get time to get on the computer anymore. This year has been one of the worst years for me. I lost my job a year and a half ago after working for the company for 23 years. Since I have been unemployed, I had three unexpected surgeries that took longer than I expected to recover from. When I thought it couldn't get worse, my mother had three massive strokes this past January. She was hospitalized six times from January-May. I would spend all day at the hospital with her. She has made very little progress since January. As a result from the strokes, her vision is impaired, her memory and speech is not so great and she is unable to read or write. Since May, I have been taking her to all her occupational, physical and speech therapy appointments in addition to all her doctor's appointments. Sometimes she averages 13 appointments a week. It's amazing how much my life has changed with one phone call last January for me to get to the ER department in the hospital as soon as possible. I get very depressed at times and most days I am not too optimistic but I am grateful I can help her out at a time in her life she needs me most. It has become a 24 hour a day job. I really hope next year things start looking better for me. I really need a job for financial and mental reasons. It is getting difficult since my unemployment ended last September and my health insurance is ending next month. Of course this job market and economy does not help. I am trying to remain positive that things will get better but some days are easier than others.
I apologize for rambling on and venting about my problems. It was great reading your post and I really appreciate your kind words. I am going to try to get on these message boards more often. Take care and thanks again!

Thanks Namo. I tend not to vent and hold it all inside which is not a good thing.
Thank you cupcake3. Just reading your post makes me feel so not alone. I agree about Romney. I don't think I'm asking too much just to get a job to make ends meet. I will never be rich, I just want to make enough money to pay the bills. I won't even start about the health insurance issue. I have been paying over $500.00 a month for a single person with no income whatsoever.
Thanks again to you both for taking the time to respond to my post. It's great people like you that keep me coming back to this message board and enjoy having conversations with.

Posted: 11/17/12 at 12:45pmThanks TheatreDiva and tazber. I really appreciate your comments. It is refreshing to have great people like yourselves on this message board that are compassionate and understand. It makes me feel like I am not alone and that everyone faces difficulties in their life at one time or another. I really thought after a year and a half, things would start looking better for me. I guess it's just going to take some more time. Thanks again and have a Happy Thanksgiving!

It's been rough for a lot of people on the board these past couple of years. It's nice to know that there are firends here for support.
Besides! Look what Target is carrying now!

Thanks so much Dollypop. I really appreciate it!
I couldn't agree more TheatreDiva. The support from friends on this message board is incredible and greatly appreciated. Those Oreo's look so good. I also noticed Target is exclusively carrying peppermint flavored M&M's filled with white chocolate and they are on sale starting tomorrow. Looks like I will be making a trip to Target for both Oreos and M&M's tomorrow!
