Hi, Tracy, very pleasant Sunday greetings to you and your precious Theresa and little Tang from my precious Noah and me. I hope this finds you and your precious companins doing well and in good spirits. I hope laundry time went smoothly for you, and that you and your precious fur tribe are being able to enjoy the majority of this day together.

I imagine you may have some butterflies in anticipation of your interview tomorrow. Just do the best you can, you friend. You are in my thoughts and prayers that it will go very well, and that you will receive a job offer quickly. Please let us know how things go.

It is a quiet day here for my precious Noah and me. We are enjoying having the big door open and gated. I have the movie "K-19" with Harrison Ford on. It's a very interesting movie based on the 1961 event of the Russian nuclear submarine.

Lunch is on the stove warming and will be ready soon. Noah is eagerly anticipating lunch in his bowl, too.

I hope today is treating you and your precious Theresa and little Tang kindly, my friend, and that you and your precious companions will have a very peaceful, blissful, and cozy evening. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Theresa and little Tang. Please know you and your precious companions are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to sharing how things are going for you and your precious Theresa and little Tang, and your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas.

Peace and blessings,

Hello moon_beam. Rainy Sunday greetings to you and your precious Noah. I'm glad you are both well and enjoying quality time together.

I am filled with a certain amount of trepidation for tomorrow. But it's been compounded by two things. I sometimes get these burs on the back of my ankle that hurt and make it somewhat difficult to walk; I have one on my right foot now I also called the UE IVR and was told I was given credit for claiming my payment, but no check has been issued. I need to call a real person tomorrow and find out why. I can't pay my rent w/o that payment and will be evicted This is what the universe does to me: It gives me a great opportunity but then weighs it down with all kinds of problems. I don't know how to put this out of my mind for my interview either. But I guess I have to try.

In any case, I hope today has been kind to you and Noah and that you both have a good evening. TTFN

Hi, Tracy, breezy Monday greetings to you and your precious Theresa and little Tang. I hope this finds you and your precious companions doing well and in reasonably good spirits.

I hope you are able to get your UE check straightened out. And if the UE office is insisting that you have a "credit" for some reason or other, do not hesitate to contact social services as they deal with emergency situations like this frequently. I know you prefer to handle things on your own, but desperate situations call for desperate resolutions. Please let us know how things go.

I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers that your interview will go / has gone well, and that you will receive a job offer quickly. Please let us know how your interview went.

We had some thunderstorms pass overhead earlier this morning, but the sun is shining now and the breezes have increased a bit, so I am running a small fan to help circulate the air. Not much happening today. Tomorrow morning I have my re-scheduled routine dental check up, so I am planning on a couple of errands afterward to take advantage of being out on the road.

Tracy, I hope you are able to obtain a positive outcome regarding your UE benefits, as well as your interview. And I hope your foot will be comfortable during your travels. As always, my friend, I hope today is treating you and your precious Theresa and little Tang kindly, and that you and your precious companions will have a very peaceful, blissful, and cozy evening. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Theresa and little Tang. Please know you and your precious companions are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to sharing how things are going for you and your precious Theresa and little Tang, and your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas.

Hello moon_beam. Monday greetings to you and your precious Noah.

My UE is in review due to "discharged" even though KFORCE didn't contest it. The gov't shut down is making such "reviews" take longer I'm sure. That was evident at the downtown office when the guard said "One, line, one person working - good luck" The interview was a complete waste of time, bus fare, and the terrible pain in my right foot. In other words, I was "too weak" in tech knowledge/skill for what they are looking for. At least they were nice about it. I qualify for food stamps (maybe) appointment 10/16/13 for that. I'll see what I can work out with the leasing office, but I'm not very hopeful.

I think it may be time to find Theresa and Tang good homes (no reason for them to suffer because I'm a loser) and finally just check out of this world.

Hi, Tracy, thank you so much for sharing with us how you and your precious Theresa and little Tang are doing. I am so sorry that your interview did not go as well as all of us had hoped for. Still, all is not lost - - so please try to hang in here.

I hope your appointment to qualify for food stamps will be beneficial, and that the UE benefits will begin very soon. Please try to find some hope that you and your precious Theresa and little Tang will be able to remain as a family. Please do not hesitate to contact your local humane society / shelter as they may be able to put you in touch with a "food bank" that helps to provide assistance for family companions. I know you have tried this before without positive results, but it is important for you to keep looking and seeking and asking for help.

It is important that you also keep up your job search even though you are feeling discouraged and depressed. You and your precious companions have been in this place before and have come through, and you must have faith you will do it again.

I hope you and your precious Theresa and little Tang will have a very peaceful, blissful, and cozy evening. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Theresa and little Tang. Please know you and your precious companions are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to sharing how things are going for you and your precious Theresa and little Tang, and your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas.

Peace and blessings,

Thank you moon_beam.

I'm doing my best to hold it together, but it's getting harder each day I don't ever want to lose Theresa and Tang, but it just seems like things get worse with each passing day. Thank you so much for you support. My best to you and your precious Noah. God Bless

Tom's Dad, I know it's hard, and I know it sometimes seems as if there is no hope, but those are the times when you've just got to hang on no matter what. Things WILL get better! Please don't give up hope. You know we are here for you and we care, and don't even think such thoughts as "checking out". That has me very worried about you, and I would surely miss your presence on here. Check out this site: https://www.taskrabbit.com/
They have small jobs available and also things you can do online, such as proofreading and other things.

The Job: Customer Service Representative
What It Pays
$8 to $18 an hour
Perfect For
"People" people with patience to spare who are good at talking on the phone while on the computer.
What It Is
Companies are looking for workers with excellent speaking abilities and solid computer skills to help customers find a correct size, place an order or resolve a conflict. Both full- and part-time positions are available, and you are generally required to devote a four-hour block of time.
How To Get It
Customer service is the biggest work-at-home field, with companies including Spiegel, Hilton, Best Western, HSN, 1-800-FLOWERS and many others using at-home reps. Fill out an application with staffing companies such as Arise (Arise.com), Alpine Access (AlpineAccess.com), VIPdesk (VIPdesk.com), LiveOps (LiveOps.com) and Convergys (Convergys.com), all of which vet the companies who are hiring through them. If you need benefits, search through a staffing company that will hire you as an employee (Alpine Access, VIPdesk and Convergys do this) rather than an independent contractor. If you're a contractor, you may be asked to pay a small fee (between $15 and $35) for a background check. While a fee can be a sign of a scam, independent contractors are responsible for their own expenses.

Hi DannysMom

Thanks for the link. It says they are not available in my city. I've seen the work at home on the job boards, but have always been warned they are usually a scam.

I appreciate that you'd miss my presence here on LS. It's nice to know somebody feels that way. When my mind wanders into these dark places, Theresa and Tang are especially affectionate. They really DO know how we are feeling.

Hope you and the girls are well. TTFN

Hi, Tracy, cool sunny Tuesday greetings to you and your precious Theresa and little Tang from my precious Noah and me. I hope this finds you and your precious companions doing well today.

Several years ago when I was in the depth of a very dark depression caused from the ongoing struggle of recovery and rehab and continuous consequences of the automobile collision I remember telling my counselor one day that I intellectually know that each day is an opportunity for a new beginning - - a clean slate to make that day better than the one before. I further told him that my "reality" is that each day is a continuation of the darkness of the day before and that right now, and for the foreseeable future (as I saw it at the time) there was little hope for anything better.

Instead of spewing platitudes and meaningless psychology, he quietly said: "I hope together we can change this so that you will be able to know there is a reason to hope again." When he said those words to me I spent the rest of the time during the appointment just sobbing as I answered his questions. It took a long time and a LOT of struggle, but slowly eventually one day was better than the day before, then several days were good, and the darkness that had shrouded my heart and soul for so very long began to give way to the light of hope. Today, as each day before and each day to come, is a victory for me as I continue to struggle with the challenges of PTSD and Survivor's Guilt, as well as my physical challenges from the injuries. It is not by my strength alone that I overcome these challenges, - - rather it is through God's grace, mercy, and blessings which I thank Him for every day. And I thank Him for the blessing of true friends He brings to me who are His ambassadors of comfort, support, encouragement, and hope.

Tracy, none of us know what the next minute will bring - - much less the next hour, day, week, month, year. The only thing we CAN do is the very best according to our abilities at the particular moment in time. Sadly there are so many people in this world who are struggling in the darkness feeling alone and abandoned. My counselor could not change my circumstances, but he did help me find a reason to hope again IN SPITE OF my circumstances. As much as my heart wants to I cannot change your circumstances, Tracy, but I hope and pray that somehow you know you are NOT alone and abandoned - - and that knowing this will help you to see the light of hope for you and your precious Theresa and little Tang, and provide you the courage to keep trying.

As always, my friend, I hope today is treating you and your precious Theresa and little Tang kindly, and that you and your precious companions will have a very peaceful, blissful, and cozy evening. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Theresa and little Tang. Please know you and your precious companions are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to sharing how things are going for you and your precious Theresa and little Tang, and your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas.

Hello moon_beam. Tuesday greetings to you and your precious Noah.

Thank you for sharing your remarkable story. It definitely trumps what I'm going through. I'm glad you were able to regain a hopeful outlook on life. I certainly realize that none of us knows how much time we have. But it's still hard to face each day as each little bit of hope for a job gets torn away. I appreciate that I am not abandoned or alone by you or my other friends here on LS.

Still, each day seems as gloomy as the last, and so forth. I've posted for some jobs today, made some follow up calls, one of which is the UE to verify what I was told yesterday. This lady was much nicer and said I need to wait for my approval letter and take that to the office for the pay card to get my back payments. She did say that if KFORCE isn't contesting then it should not be too long.

Each time I have been here, my next job has always almost literally come out of nowhere - a surprise. I try to have faith that will happen again, but each time I find myself here, the harder that is to do. It's like God/Fate only gives us so many chances, and then there are no more. I wonder if I'm at that point now, and what I will do.

At least Theresa and Tang are well. I made only one purchase yesterday, and that was to walk (well, limp) to the Kroger near downtown to get a bag of Iams Senior. At least they will eat; I felt terrible having to ration so much as the bag was nearly empty. And it tore my heart out to see them tear into the food bowls as if they had not had a proper meal in days

There is not much else going on here today - the same as any day over the last 3 weeks. I hope today has been kind to you and Noah and that you both have a peaceful evening. TTFN

Hello Tom's Dad, I wanted to tell you that the companies that are listed for the online work are all legit, no scam involved. You could always look them up and see what they pay and take it from there. The pay does range from $8 to $18 an hour. I know it's tough, but hang in there. You WILL get another job. Keep searching and keep believing. It may take a while longer than you think, and then again it may not.

I'm glad you were able to go to the Kroger to get food for your fur kids. Do they eat the Iams ProActive Health Senior Plus Cat Food in the green bag? That seems to be pretty good food. The nice weather is gone and it was cool today, only in the high 60s with lots of clouds. Made me want to stay at home with my girls and curl up with a good book and a hot cup of tea! Yesterday we got lots of rain and I got soaked walking to my car, but we really needed the rain.

The girls are fine. They chased each other after dinner tonight, and right now they are relaxing. Mindy was trying to catch a cricket last night that has been hiding under my revolving media tower, but she couldn't get to it. I thought she was scratching up the carpet when I realized she had a purpose for being there and so I apologized profusely to my furry little exterminator!

Hello DannysMom

I will look into it then. Careerbuilder.com has many like that too. The problem with applying to those (and other jobs) online, I have found, is that you then get slammed with phone calls from so called institutions of higher learning wanting your money Yes, even job hunting is vulnerable to SPAM now.

Yes, the Iams senior proactive is the one in the dark green bag. Kroger sells it for about 6.00 a 3.5 LB bag; about half what every place else does. Dr. Mills said it's the next best thing to the RX diabetic food I can't afford, and Theresa IS a senior at almost 11. Plus they both love it.

Thank you for sharing your story about your girls Mindy and Shelley. Especially Mindy your mighty huntress. Tang was on about something on the balcony a little while ago. What ever it was, it was downstairs. He and Theresa are both well.

I hope today has been kind to you (other than being rained on) and the girls and that you all have a very pleasant evening. TTFN

Hi, Tracy, cloudy chilly Wednesday greetings to you and your precious Theresa and little Tang from my precious Noah and me. I hope this finds you and your precious companions doing well and in reasonably good spirits.

I hope things are progressing in a positive way to you getting your UE benefits. I know once this is resolved some of the financial pressures will be eased - - just a little bit maybe. I also hope you are finding promising job announcements to apply for, and continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers that you will find gainful employment quickly.

Not much happening around the homestead today. Had my routine dental check up yesterday and all appears to be in working order, so the 2-month postponement did not present any problems. Noah is doing well. Lunch is on the stove warming and he is eagerly anticipating niblets in his bowl once my veggies are ready.

I hope today is treating you and your precious Theresa and little Tang kindly, my friend, and that you and your precious companions will have a very peaceful, blissful, and cozy evening. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Theresa and little Tang. Please know you and your precious companions are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to sharing how things are going for you and your precious Theresa and little Tang, and your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas.

Hello moon_beam. Wednesday greetings to you and you precious Noah. I'm glad, as always to hear he is doing well. I'm also glad to hear you got a clean bill of health from the dentist.

I thank you for your thoughts and prayers, but my spirits are in no better shape today. I have found few promising job posts to pursue, and I have not yet received my approval of benefits letter from the UE office. Even my phone has not been ringing off the hook; not even the unwanted 800 number calls. With each new day, I find it difficult to believe I am not somehow being punished. I used to keep the blinds open to let in the sunshine. Now, I prefer it dark, and I can't shake the feeling that my time is running out. Pride is something I can no longer afford and has fallen by the wayside. I fear hope is next.

Nothing else happening here. Theresa and Tang are well. I hope (no irony intended) that today has been kind to you and Noah and that you both have a pleasant evening. TTFN

Dear Tom's Dad, I hope tomorrow will be a better day for you. Keep looking for jobs. You WILL find another job! When those gloomy thoughts come don't dwell on them. Think of good things, pleasant things. It is so easy to get sucked into these depressive and gloomy thoughts. Try to keep yourself occupied, even if it is just going for a short walk. Exercise helps chase the blues away. Your time is not running out. It may feel that way, but that is depression talking. You may want to look at if you qualify for some sort of training due to your unemployment. It's worth a shot. Things will turn around for you, just believe it and repeat it to yourself. It does help repeating positive things to yourself as it counters the negative thoughts. Things will get better. Take it one day at a time.

All the best to you, Tang, and Theresa.

Hello DannysMom. Sunny and warm Thursday greetings to you, your precious Mindy and Shelley. Thank you for stopping by and your words of encouragement.

I did indeed take a walk earlier to get the certified check to pay the rent. I was going to have them fill out my SNAP forms (verify rent/responsible for own utilities) but the sign said they were closed until after 1 (sigh) I just put the rent in the drop box, and will try again tomorrow. My appointment is not until next Wednesday.

While in the bank, my cell phone was buzzing. I checked the VM and it was a recruiter from Pomeroy about a help desk job for Humana. He took my info, asked for a copy of my resume (the one on the job board was not the best quality) He said he'd submit it to them and get back with me. I'm not really sure if I should even bother getting excited anymore. What will be will be.

Anyway, Theresa and Tang are well. I just let them both have some balcony time and they both came in on their own. I hope today is being kind to you and your girls, and that you all have a wonderful evening. TTFN

TTT

Hi, Tracy, currently sunny Thursday afternoon greetings to you and your precious Theresa and little Tang from my precious Noah and me. I hope this finds you and your precious companions doing well and in reasonably good spirits.

So glad you received a call from the recruiter for a job with Humana. This is particularly good news since this would be your "preferred" employer. This is a reason to HOPE, my friend. Please let us know how things turn out. Also hope you get the information you need from your rental manager for your appointment next week.

Have been getting caught up on e-mails today. Last night I turned on one of the space heaters as it was beginning to feel quite damp and chilly here in the basement living quarters. I guess it is now that time of year once again - - and for the next 6 months or so to come. Still have the lunch dishes to do and a trek to the mailbox to make.

Noah is doing well, and I'm so glad to share your news that your precious Theresa and little Tang are doing well, too. Whatever happens on a daily course of events I know you are grateful that your precious companions are healthy and happy.

I hope today is treating you and your precious Theresa and little Tang kindly, my friend, and that you and your precious companions will have a very peaceful, blissful, and cozy evening. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Theresa and little Tang. Please know you and your precious companions are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to sharing how things are going for you and your precious Theresa and little Tang, and your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas.

Hello moon_beam. Sunny, warm Thursday greetings to you and you precious Noah. Glad to hear you are both well.

It's been cool in the evenings here, but not enough for the space heater. Thank you for your ongoing encouragement. Just a while ago, I got a call from Modis of all places. The agency that tried to get me into Kindred the first time. The man said he was going through and cleaning up the database of people they haven't been in contact with for a while. I'm sending him my resume as requested. Not getting my hopes up, though. I'm not sure why all the calls are coming to my cell though


Not much else going on here. Theresa and Tang are both well. I hope today has been kind to you and Noah and that you both have a very blissful evening. TTFN

Hi, Tracy, sometimes sunny through the persistent clouds greetings to you and your precious Theresa and little Tang from my precious Noah and me. I hope this finds you and your precious companions doing well and in reasonably good spirits.

It is good you are getting calls from recruiters to update their records. It seems that most businesses use cell phones as the primary contacts now as cell phones are the "rage" for mass communication. Please let us know how things go.

Not much going on here today - - doing the security updates on the desk top and getting caught up with e-mails. Noah is doing well, for which I am very thankful. We have had our play time this morning, and is now enjoying a little pre-lunch nap time on his lamb's wool cushion as I'm writing to you.

Hello moon_beam. Sunny and warm Friday greetings to you and your precious Noah. Glad to hear you are both well.

The calls keep coming on my cell; you may be right about why that is. One I got (and an email) was not only above my skill set (Oh, I could do it with guidance, but that's not what the clients are looking for) It was for LG&E Yeah, I think I'm going to leave that one alone. I did get a follow up call from the guy at Pomeroy asking if I had experience helping people that have recently updated their OS (I.E. XP to 7, etc) I said I did and sent him a link to a web site I used as a tool when I didn't have that OS on my work station; he seemed impressed with that. Hope it works as a plus.

I took my SNAP from to the office this morning, and the manager quickly, and cheerfully filled it out; she even wished me good luck. Go figure. I still have not received my approval letter from UE yet (sigh) I'm thinking it may be partially my fault as I put discharged rather than laid off/other (contract ended) like I did last time. Even when the employer does not contest, it still takes time.

Not much else going on here. I allowed balcony time this morning as the temp was around 60. Theresa lounged a good long time, but came it before it got too warm. Tang was only out briefly, as usual. I hope today has treated you and Noah well, and that you both have a most pleasant evening. TTFN

TTT

Hello Tom's Dad, and happy Caturday to you, Tang, and Theresa. I hope all three of you are well. Glad to hear that your apt. manager filled out the SNAP forms. I bet Theresa enjoyed her balcony time. Tang is like my Shelley who comes out for a bit and then goes back inside. Hopefully it won't be much longer before you get your UE. It's been raining here all week, but today is nice, just cloudy, but calm and warm enough for a nice walk. My girls are happy to have me home. Hope you have a nice weekend!

Hi, Tracy, cloudy cool sometimes light rainy gloomy Caturday greetings to you and your precious Theresa and little Tang from my precious Noah and me. I hope this finds you and your precious companions doing well and in reasonably good spirits.

I'm so glad your rental manager graciously completed the SNAP form for you, and once again, hope your meeting this coming Wednesday for assistance will provide you the benefits you need until you are once more employed. Yes, the government / assistance forms can be very tricky to fill out as it is not always clear which box goes with which answer. I hope your UE request will be sorted out quickly, my friend. Please let us know what happens.

I don't blame you at all for not following up with the LG&E query. To go that route again would, in my opinion, not be healthy - - unless it was the absolute last job on the face of the earth available. The good news is that you have received a follow up query from Pomeroy, and hope this will boost your "ranking" for job opportunities. Please let us know how things go.

Today's activities have been focused on reconciling the checkbook with the bank statement - - which went fairly smoothly this month. In a couple of weeks it will be time to do the November "bill-a-thon" planning. YIKES! Just 2.5 months left in this year.

Lunch has been served, and my precious Noah is on his window bench surveying the bleakness of his domain -- no birds chirping today - - and most of the woodland residents appear to be tucked into the nests and dens as there is no activity from the squirrels to be seen as well.

I hope your errands went smoothly today, my friend, that this day is treating you and your precious Theresa and little Tang kindly, and that you and your precious companions will have a very peaceful, blissful, and cozy evening. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Theresa and little Tang. Please know you and your precious companions are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to sharing how things are going for you and your precious Theresa and little Tang, and your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas.

Hello DannysMom and Caturday greetings to you, your precious Mindy and and Shelley.

Yes, Theresa loves her time outside, while Tang is a little more ambivalent. It makes sense though when looking at their backgrounds. Theresa spent the first 4 years of her life in a cage, while Tang was abandoned to the elements. But that's all over now in their forever home; as long as I can keep it anyway (sigh)

Had a nice walk through the neighborhood myself to clear my head. Didn't help much though. Not much else going on here about. I do hope today was kind to you and your girls and that you all have a most blessed evening. TTFN

Hello moon_beam and Caturday greetings to you and your precious Noah. Sorry to hear about his bleak scenery.

Yes, another year seems to be on its way out; good riddance. Perhaps one of these years I will have something to show for the time spent, but I'm not holding my breath. Something tells me my punishment is far from over. Even though the LG&E job is IT, it's in the same building and only until the end of December. As you said, not healthy. I've finally gotten to the point of posting on so many jobs, I seem to have gotten them all before any new ones have shown up.

No, I still have not gotten my letter from UE and it is starting to worry me frankly. If it's not contested what on earth is there to review? My case is probably sitting in the in box of some angry pencil pusher that hates his/her job. At least they HAVE a job.

Not much going on here. I hope today was kind to you and Noah and that you both have a most peaceful evening. TTFN

TTT

It's late, and I am in a most foul mood, and maybe I shouldn't say this, but I just can't hold it in any longer. What infuriates me is the complacency and indifference of people. When there is someone in need we just turn the other way, wish the person well, and hope someone else is going to help. People may say "oh, I hope you will find some way to pay the rent". Oh yeah? And just exactly is he supposed to do that? Rob a bank? Print off a few hundred dollar bills? Grab it out of thin air? A person needs help and we all are just standing by and do nothing. When some disaster happens like 9-11 or hurricane Sandy we get out the pocket book and write checks, but when someone here we know is in need we do nothing. Shame on us.

Mr. Spock: Call it a deep understanding of the way things happen to Vulcans, but I know that not a person, not even the computers on board the Intrepid, knew what was killing them or would have understood it had they known.
Dr. McCoy: But, 400 Vulcans?
Mr. Spock: I've noticed that about your people, Doctor. You find it easier to understand the death of one than the death of a million. You speak about the objective hardness of the Vulcan heart, yet how little room there seems to be in yours.
Dr. McCoy: Suffer the death of thy neighbour, eh, Spock? Now, you wouldn't wish that on us, would you?
Mr. Spock: It might have rendered your history a bit less bloody.

Hi, Tracy, rainy cloudy Sunday greetings to you and your precious Theresa and little Tang from my precious Noah and me. I hope this finds you and your precious companions doing well and in reasonably good spirits, and that your laundry time went smoothly.

If you do not receive confirmation of your UE benefits by Tuesday, can you inquire about the status during your appointment on Wednesday? I truly am very sorry you are going through this, Tracy, and continue to keep you and your precious Theresa and little Tang in my thoughts and prayers that you WILL get a good job offer quickly, and until then -- you WILL receive the assistance you need to stay together as a family.

Hello moon_beam. Sunny, warm Sunday greetings to you and your precious Noah. Glad to hear you both are well.

Laundry went fine, no competition or broken machines. I guess I could ask the SNAP case worker about the UE, but being different departments, I'm not hopeful of any new info. I had to cancel my Netflix today to save some money. I have 2 discs that will take me to Friday (the return deadline being the 20th) On demand free spot has been greatly expanded, and there is much to catch up on. I may have to cancel or suspend Theresa and Tang's wellness plans too if I don't get resolution on UE by the 18th I'll have to check with Banfield. I can't afford to take either one in anyway, and Tang's ear still looks good.

First, I was disappointed and my reduced UE benefits, then was hopeful that SNAP would shore that up, assuming I even get it. Now I can't even get my UE released. If I get denied, I'm royally up the creek. But, I can't imagine why I would be with KFORCE not contesting (sigh) All this and a federal government shut down because a bunch of children play acting at being adults can't learn to share their toys.

However, Theresa and Tang are well and enjoyed balcony time this morning. I hope today has been kind to you and Noah and that you both have a very peaceful evening. TTFN

Hi Tracy,

I hope you, Sgt. Tang, and Princess Theresa are doing well. I'm glad Tang's ear is doing well. Tabby and Smokey still come by, but we see Tabby more. The other evening my husband was spooning out some small noodle mixture we had as leftovers. All of a sudden something came under his hand and started eating, it was Tabby. It kind of startled him because it was getting dark. Tabby really liked that food. He eats all the time and he is looking better......We had to buy a new fridge and of course I found a few goodies in the freezer of the old one. One little package contained leftover turkey breast from last Thanksgiving. The cats really enjoyed that.

Tracy, I hope things get better for you, I'm hoping and praying, and sending lots of good energy. I hope those kids in Washington settle things soon. If the gov't defaults, it will probably affect my husband's pay. The National Guard here had some workers furloughed, the ones that service the helicopters.

I hope you have a peaceful and cozy night with your furbabies. We have a big night planned, gonna' watch an old Columbo on MeTv. ....TTFN..

Hello LoveMyMickey

Thanks for the well wishes for Miss Theresa and Sgt. Tang. I'm glad to hear Smokey and Tabby are still coming around and seem to be doing well. Chucking at Tabby "digging in" even before hubby could get the food all the way out. Sounds like he's becoming social. Tabby cats are very social after you give them time to get to know you (as I can attest with Tang)

Enjoy your show, and hope you, your husband and the neighborhood critters are well. I hope Mickey sends you many butterflies. TTFN

Hi, Tracy, cloudy, dreary Monday greetings to you and your precious Theresa and little Tang from my precious Noah and me. I hope this finds you and your precious companions doing well and in reasonably good spirits.

I am so glad to know that your precious companions are doing well, and that your little Tang's ear is continuing to do so very well since his last surgery, as well as doing well with his insulin. I know this takes a huge concern off your mind, my friend.

I do so hope and pray you will be able to get the UE benefits issue resolved quickly, Tracy. The government shutdown is affecting so many people on so many different levels - - it really is atrocious. Don't let the matter drop, my friend. Please let us know how things go.

My computer expert was here this morning to help me install the external hard drive. It took a call to the manufacturer for technical support to get it installed on the desk top - - but installed sweet as you please on the lap top - - go figure. He showed me how to open files and save them, so - - I'm very pleased. He also checked into the two "action items" that the computer was saying needed attention. He explained them to me and we decided to just "archive" them instead of installing the updates. AND he fixed an issue with the Google search page on the desk top. Just a click here and a click there - - and voila. He is sooo good. So hopefully now the desk top is squared away with the W 7 update. Looking at the clock it is time to start getting lunch ready for both my precious Noah and me.

As always I hope today is treating you and your precious Theresa and little Tang kindly, my friend, and that you and your precious companions will have a very peaceful, blissful, and cozy evening. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Theresa and little Tang. Please know you and your precious companions are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to sharing how things are going for you and your precious Theresa and little Tang, and your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas.

Peace and blessings,

Hello moon_beam and Sunny Monday greetings to you and your precious Noah. Glad to hear you are both well.

No mail today due to it being a holiday. So, no UE letter. I'm starting to wonder if that glitch I ran into trying to claim my check online before using the phone system has something to do with it. But, then again, I do remember getting an approval letter in the past before getting my benefits. I just don't remember it taking so long (sigh)

I'm glad to hear you got you computer/hard drive issues squared away. Not much else going on here. Theresa and Tang are both well, and enjoyed time on the balcony stalking the local wild life and various bugs. I hope today was kind to you and Noah and that you both have a very pleasant evening. TTFN

Hi, Tracy, pleasant sunny Tuesday greetings to you and your precious Theresa and little Tang from my precious Noah and me. I hope this finds you and your precious companions doing well and in reasonably good spirits.

I hope you will get confirmation about your UE benefits soon, my friend - - and if possible in today's mail. With the government in a mess combined with hoilday closures can intensify the anxiety. Every night as I listened to the news there are accounts of how the current government disputes are seriously impacting people's lives, and I think of you, my friend, and send another prayer heavenward asking for your and your precious companions' provision.

Tomorrow you have your meeting for SNAP support, and I'm also hoping you will be able to find someone to help you sort through the delay on your UE benefits. Please let us know how things go, my friend.

This morning I needed to make a run to the post office to mail the renewal for my current health insurance coverage. I wanted to mail it with a tracking number so that I know it has been received, and I wanted to get to the post office before it closed for the lunch hour. Thankfully the special trash collection bins are on the property adjoining the post office, so I was able to make that errand run, and then it was on into town to pick up another bag of Noah's dry food. Two hours later I was back home with my precious Noah who was eagerly greeting me.

Yesterday afternoon I got a call from the contractor who is working on the railing to the front porch. He and his associate came by to get a second set of measurements just to make sure that his first measurements were accurate. He apologized for the job taking so long and he hopes to be able to have it ready to install sometime in the next week or so. Which - - according to what he told me time frame wise when he was here the first time is - - right on schedule. Still it's nice to know at this stage that progress is being made on this project, and that it will soon be able to be completed.

Lunch has been served and my precious Noah is settling down on his lamb's wool cushion for his afternoon nap. The sun is shining cheerily today and the temps are decent so we are enjoying having the big door open and gated for fresh air. Will need to make a trek to the mailbox later on.

I hope today is treating you and your precious Theresa and little Tang kindly, my friend, and that you and your precious companions will have a very peaceful, blissful, and cozy evening. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Theresa and little Tang. Please know you and your precious companions are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to sharing how things are going for you and your precious Theresa and little Tang, and your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas.

Hello moon_beam. Cloudy Tuesday greetings to you and you precious Noah.

Glad to hear you got your errands done and estimates on your project(s) No UE confirmation today, but I knew that before I checked the mail I called Frankfort an the guy said my claim is still being reviewed for an "issue" which he could not expand on except to say something about my having claimed income for those 2 days I worked the first week. I said it wasn't this hard last time, but he said much has changed in the processing/rules since then; my luck.

I did get a call from a recruiter at Randstad for a job at AIG insurance just across the bridge from downtown in Jeffersonville IN. They are looking for 9 claims agents and they don't interview, they just look at the resumes and let Randstad do the vetting. And the recruiter said my resume looked really good (thanks to you of course) It's M-F days but only 11.50/hour. But it's better than UE, assuming I ever get it (sigh) We'll see.

Theresa and Tang are both well. Tang has been especially cuddly today. I hope today has been kind to you and Noah and that you both have a wonderful evening. TTFN

Hi, Tracy, cloudy Wednesday greetings to you and your precious Theresa and little Tang from my precious Noah and me. I hope this finds you and your precious companions doing well and in reasonably good spirits.

So - - you worked two days of the week that your "contract" ended - - and from what I remember you were not paid for those two days - - so - - yes, I would presume it would be logical that you would be able to claim that for UE compensation. My friend, I am so sorry resolution of this is taking so long. To those who are doing the "review" the process is "normal" - - but for YOU, and the many others who are totally dependent upon UE benefits beginning - - it is not. I hope you will be able to obtain some assistance today. Please let us know how things go for you.

How would the transportation work out for you should you get a call from AIG? Please let us know how this works out, my friend.

I have been thinking about Humana - - knowing working there would be much easier for you transportation-wise and perhaps even more financially beneficial salary-wise. Humana is very "government" attached with Medicare health coverage, and now with the Affordable Care Act. I am just pondering that they, too, may have had to suspend their hiring until Congress gets the budget fight over with. If this the case, -- at some point down the road there may still be an opportunity for you - - if it comes at the right time for you.

Nothing much going on here today - - at least not at the moment anyway. Noah and I are enjoying the big door open lisenting to the songs of the woodland residents and the hum of the traffic on the road. Sometimes when the air is very still I can hear the whistle of the baggage train as it travels on the tracks about 5 miles down the road from me. If I read the news correctly the State officials have approved work to restore passenger rail service from Roanoke along the eastern corridor. I hope this proceeds as that would be a major improvement over the hassle of traveling by air. Right now passenger train service is available from Lynchburg, but the departure and arrival times are very early in the morning and very late at night, respectively, which does not make easy driving for elderly eyes.

My friend, I hope today is treating you and your precious Theresa and little Tang kindly, and that you and your precious companions will have a very peaceful, blissful, and cozy evening. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Theresa and little Tang. Please know you and your precious companions are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to sharing how things are going for you and your precious Theresa and little Tang, and your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas.

Peace and blessings,
moon_beam

Hello moon_beam. Gloomy Wednesday greetings to you and your precious Noah. I do hope passenger train service is restored in your area as it sounds as though it will help you a great deal.

I did get paid for those 2 days I worked (they couldn't NOT pay me) but that was a very small check and I did claim the earnings. But there should be a good amount lefter over, plus the other week I got nothing. And I'm coming up on my next 2 week claim. If this is not resolved by the 25th, I will most likely lose power, phone and internet. Unless I can get some additional aid somewhere I can check with the local group of churches that helped with my power bill a few years back, but I may still lose phone and internet; and those are very important for job searches. I keep praying, but I don't think I'm getting anywhere

I did see in the news about the senate reaching an agreement on the shut down, but the house has yet to agree - and let's face it, that's where most of the troublemakers are. Oh, the AIG would just be a matter of taking the same bus downtown that I always do and then there are 2 different ones that go across the bridge to Jeff. Of course I have not heard back on that one either. I know people keep trying to encourage me, but I really feel that I am at the end of my rope and bad things are going to start raining down on me soon. Poor Theresa and Tang, they deserve better.

In any case, I hope today was kind to you and Noah and that you both have a peaceful evening. TTFN

**JOB SEARCH UPDATE**


I sent an email to the Randstad rep asking about the AIG job in Jeffersonville IN. Two minutes later he called to say I have the job and that AIG would send me the background check registration. When that's done he will send email to get me reactivated (I've worked through Randstad before) It's only 11.50/hour, but hey, it's a job. Perhaps it will turn into something better. It's still an 1.25-1.5 hour bus ride(s) but neither is an express, so that's 35.00/month saving on the bus pass. It starts next week, perhaps later depending on how long the background check takes. Now, if I can only get mu UE payments.

Theresa and Tang are well. I called Banfiled fearful I'd have to cancel their wellness plans. But the nice lady on the phone said she'd waive both October payments as a courtesy with no lapse in coverage.

Hi, Tracy, - - YEA!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!! I just HAD to get that out first in the JOY of you having employment again. At this point it is income, and that is better than nothing. PLUS - - the cost of your transportation will be saving you $35 a month which can go to something else - - maybe being able to pay your rent on time again which I know has been a major concern for you. The "bummer" is your travel time, but hopefully you will not have any late evening staff meetings to attend which would be VERY helpful.

Now - - cloudy, forecated rainy Thursday greetings to you and your precious Theresa and little Tang from my precious Noah and me. I hope this finds you and your precious companions doing well and in good spirits. I am also very thrilled to share your news that Banfield will waive your October payments for your precious Theresa's and little Tang's wellness plans instead of your having to cancel them. This is very good news indeed.

I continue to lift your UE benefits in thought and prayer, my friend. There are so many people whose lives have been literally disrupted from the misbehavior of our government elected officials, and I am so very, very sorry that you and your precious companions have been among them.

This morning I finally realized that I need to update my precious Noah's ID tags on his collar reflecting the new home phone number, so I will be getting new tags ordered for him. I also have him registered with a national pet finder organization, and I need to update information on that website as well. This summer has been so focused on contractor this and that that now I am finally able to mentally process other things that need attention as well.

Not much else going on here today. Noah is on his bathroom window perch taking a nap as I'm writing to you. The gloomy weather today has him a bit down as the woodland residents seem to be tucked in their dens and nests, but the good news is "the sun will come out tomorrow" - - and both Noah and the woodland residents are patiently holding "on to tomorrow".

Tracy, I am so very thrilled for your news of your job with AIG - - and hopefully it will lead to better pay quickly. I hope today is treating you and your precious Theresa and little Tang kindly, my friend, and that you and your precious companions will have a very peaceful, blissful, and cozy evening. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Theresa and little Tang. Please know you and your precious companions are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to sharing how things are going for you and your precious Theresa and little Tang, and your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas.

Hello moon_beam. Thursday greetings to you and your precious Noah. It's good you are getting his info updated; I can imagine that will give you peace of mind. I hope the little guy gets some sunbeams to bask in tomorrow.

The weather is about the same here. Rainy and gloomy this morning, but the sun is finally making an appearance and 58 degrees. Thank you for the well wishes on my finding a job as well as the UE benefits (still no word) AIG sent me a link to register for the background check, and Randstad sent 11 PDFs that need to be signed and dated for reactivation. My apartment manager was kind enough to print them up for me before leaving for the day. Tomorrow I will fax back to the recruiter. As you said, no improvement on the travel time, but no express fares to deal with. So, that's good. Plus there are to different Indiana buses I can take.

Through the United Way web site I was able to get the number for the ministry that paid my LG&E brown bill in 2010, but the message said they only take calls for appointments M-Th 9-12. So, I guess I will call Monday. I too was relieved (and felt slightly less of a failure) when Banfield waived the October payments without having to cancel Theresa and Tang's plans. It would seem our prayers have been answered so far.

Not much else going on here. I hope today is being kind to you and Noah, and that you both have a very pleasant evening. TTFN

TTT

Hi, Tracy, so glad your apartment manager was kind enough to help you with the forms you needed printed off so that you can get them back to your new employer tomorrow. I'm also glad you were able to locate the number of the ministry that may be able to help you with your electric bill. Please let us know how things go for you on that.

I checked Noah's ID tags on his collar while he was having lunch and much to my surprise his tags are okay - - he does not have a tag with our address and telephone number - - only a tag with our names and the contact number of the pet finder organization. So I visited the pet finder's web site and discovered they had my correct cell phone number for contact, so I just updated the information adding my new home phone number and added my e-mail address. So that was very good news - - my precious little boy has been protected all this time for which I am very thankful.

Need to make a trek to the mailbox while the rain has taken a break. Once again, my friend, I am sooooo thrilled for you in having another job. I hope you and your precious Theresa and little Tang will have a very peaceful, blissful, and cozy evening. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Theresa and little Tang. Please know you and your precious companions are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to sharing how things are going for you and your precious Theresa and little Tang, and your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas.

Hi moon_beam.

It's good that you only had do to a few minor tweaks to get your precious Noah's info updated. I certainly hope you never actually need it though.

Tang's had his ear cleaning and insulin, and both have had their can food; both are taking their evening "bath" I hope you and Noah have a pleasant evening. TTFN

TTT

Hello Tom's Dad, it's good news that you got a job with Randstad. They're a big company, so I'm sure there are plenty of opportunities to move up. That was nice of your apartment manager to print these forms for you. I hope you and Tang and Theresa are well. My girls and I are fine, but Miss Mindy has a little mishap two days ago. She sat on the ottoman that has the key box right above it and for the longest time I've had these two little kitty knick knacks sitting there, but they sometimes get knocked over when I open the door to grab the keys. Poor Mindy got knocked on the head by one of these little figurines as I was trying to hang up the keys. They're only about an inch long, but still...she got so startled that she fell over backwards from the ottoman and she was quite shaken for a while. I've since moved those little figurines so this won't happen again. I felt so bad about it. I should have moved them a long time ago. I"m glad Miss Mindy is so forgiving.

Hello DannysMom.

Yeah, the nice thing about working contract through Randstad is that they do the vetting sparing me from the interview. They got me on at NPC (later Bank of America) and JPM Chase. Both turned full time with decent pay. Hoping the third time's the charm.

So sorry to hear about Miss Mindy's mishap I know first hand just how forgiving our feline companions can be with my mood swings of late due to current circumstances (sigh) Especially Tang. If I lie on the bed for more than a minute he comes running in with his "running meow" and butts my head and hugs me purring like a tribble. Both he and Theresa are well. I hope you, Mindy, and Shelley are too. Have a great evening. TTFN

Hi, Tracy, SUNNY cool Friday greetings to you and your precious Theresa and little Tang from my precious Noah and me. I hope this finds you and your precious companions doing well and in good spirits.

I hope by now you have been able to get your employer forms faxed back to Randstad, and hope this enable you to get a start date beginning next week. Please let us know how things go.

I'm so glad your precious Tang's ear continues to do well, my friend, along with his insulin. I know this takes a HUGE burden off your heart seeing him doing well, along with your precious little girl Theresa.

The sun is shining bright today and the birds and squirrels are lifting their voices in thanks for the break from the gloomy cloudy skies. The grass seed I put down in the back yard is showing some promise in sprouting, including in areas of very stubborn bare patches - - so this is encouraging. My precious boy is doing well and is thoroughly enjoying the sunbeams warming his window perch in the bathroom as I'm writing to you.

I hope today is treating you and your precious Theresa and little Tang kindly, my friend, and that you and your precious companions will have a very peaceful, blissful, and cozy evening. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Theresa and little Tang. Please know you and your precious companions are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to sharing how things are going for you and your precious Theresa and little Tang, and your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas.

Hello moon_beam. Sunny and pleasant weather Friday greetings to you and you precious Noah. Hope you are both well, and glad to hear your little man has sunbeams in which to bask again. I'm also glad to hear your grass is growing doing well.

I went through the forms from Randsatd this morning and pulled out the informational only documents, signed and dated the others. I then went down to the office and faxed them and verified their receipt. The background check I signed off on electronically has already come backed "cleared" So, according the the recruiter, we have to wait on the others to clear. The tentative start date is the 28th. I hoping that will give me enough time to go to MUSCL to get help with my LG&E.

No word yet on the UE other than "still under review" I did find out that when it (hopefully not IF) clears I don't have to do anything; just wait for it to show up in my account. I do hope it does not take the full 6 weeks though because then I have to go for a job search review, and I'll already be working I'm afraid if I can't make that then it will all be forfeit. So I'm praying and crossing my fingers it clears before then. Everything else has been going along smoothly enough, I sure don't need that kind of headache.

I'm a little worried about Tang. I forgot his morning insulin injection with getting all the forms together I was going to wait until this evening, but he was alternately acting aggressive (chasing, batting and biting harder than usual) and affectionate (getting right up in my face on the sofa and rubbing all over me) So, I went ahead and gave him a shot around 2:30. If I give him another, it will be before bed. I'm watching him in the meantime. He and Theresa have both had ear cleanings and canned food. Theresa is on the balcony and Tang is resting on the living room floor.

I hope today has been kind to you and Noah and that you both have a very peaceful and cozy evening. TTFN

Hello Tom's Dad, and happy Caturday to you, Tang, and Theresa. I hope Tang is feeling better today. I'm sorry to hear that your UE is still under review. It is disheartening how slow these people work. Can you maybe go up higher and call some manager who can speed things up a bit? Well, that's government for you. I remember the few times I had to go to DMV and how long I had to wait and how the employees would move at such a glacial pace. It's the same thing when I go to the post office. I hope you're having nice weather today. It's cool here, only in the low 60s, so I'll have to keep the balcony door closed. My girls are happy to look out the window. Mindy is very talkative as always on a Saturday. They let me sleep in this morning, and I really needed it as it has been a stressful week and I think I'm coming down with a cold. My granite plaques still haven't been installed and that's a big disappointment for me. I was told they'd probably install them next week. I hope so. Next Sunday would have been Tina's 16th birthday.

Hello DannysMom. Caturday greetings to you, your precious Mindy and Shelley.

I'm sorry to hear your plaques still have not been installed; I hope they get to them soon.

The weather here and been cool with a steady rain, so no balcony time. I was going to put off going to the library to drop off and pick up holds, but I would have needed to go to Kroger to get some more Iams for the kids soon anyway. So I just went ahead and did both.

I have tried many times to "escalate" my UE claim situation, and have gotten nowhere. I think that these people see us as lazy good for nothing bums. I think part of that attitude comes from the security they feel at being government employees. But with federal shutdowns and major cities declaring bankruptcy, their jobs are not as safe an secure as they used to be. I'm hoping with the shutdown over, my claim will move along faster. I can only hope and pray.

Tang is doing better today. His aggression is pretty much gone, but he's still being more affectionate than usual at times. Theresa is also doing well. I hope today will be kind to you and your girls and that you all have a most pleasant evening. TTFN

Hi, Tracy, cloudy, rainy Caturday greetings to you and your precious Theresa and little Tang from my precious Noah and me. I hope this finds you and your precious companions doing well and in good spirits, and that any errands you need to do will go smoothly.

Like DannysMom, I, too, am so very sorry your UE benefits are taking sooo very long to process. Please know I am keeping this lifted in my thoughts and prayers that the "review" process will be completed BEFORE you are scheduled to begin your new job with AIG. And I'm hoping and praying that you will be able to receive assistance for your electric bill with the ministry when you speak with them on Monday. Please let us know how things go.

Getting your employment papers processed is a major priority, so it is very understandable that you were focused on that. But I do so understand your concern for your precious Tang with his insulin regimen, and hope he is doing well today, along with your precious baby girl.

It is another gloomy cool day here in the Blue Ridge / Piedmont Mountain area of south central Virginia. My precious Noah kept me company as I did some chores this morning, and now he is eagerly anticipating my going to the kitchen to begin lunch -- and of course, putting some niblets in his bowl.

I hope today is treating you and your precious Theresa and little Tang kindly, my friend, and that you and your precious companions will have a very peaceful, blissful, and cozy evening. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Theresa and little Tang. Please know you and your precious companions are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to sharing how things are going for you and your precious Theresa and little Tang, and your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas.

Hello moon_beam. Gloomy and cool Caturday greetings to you and you precious Noah. Glad to hear you are both well.

Thank for your thoughts and prayers in getting my UE funds released. I really just need those 4 weeks to get back on track, and then I should start getting regular paychecks. Like I said in my previous post, I'm hoping and praying the shutdown being over helps


Tang seems pretty much back to normal, just being more affectionate than usual. I can't really complain about that Theresa and I had some good cuddle time on the sofa for a time today too. Getting ready to clean Tang's ear, insulin, and canned food for both. (Dollar Tree sells the big cans of the Friskies)

I hope today has been kind to you and Noah and that you both have a very peaceful evening. TTFN

Hi Tracy,

Happy Caturday Evening to you, Sgt. Tang, and Princess Theresa. I hope you all are doing well...I'm so happy for you in getting that job. I hope everything goes well. That is a good early birthday present for you....I hope you get your UE soon and the correct amount.

The cats around here have been annoying for the past 2 days. Tabby and Smokey eat all the time and this evening they went around back when we were trying to feed the birds. I saw a bunch of feathers under the bird feeder tree. Smokey brought a bird and laid it on his dry food one day. He ate them both together...Also a big white cat has been stalking Smokey and another yellow Tabby got into a fight with Tabby. So far, things are quieter tonight.

I made out an order at CVS pharmacy tonight and on the place order page, it said they are temporarily unavailabe. They could have at least put that on the first page. Guess I'll try again tomorrow.

Give the furbabies a special pat for me and have a pleasant cozy evening...Prayers and good energy are coming your way......God Bless....TTFN...
