This is good advice, a garage sale is a good source of quick cash and lord knows I have enough "treasures" that I could get rid of and never miss. I should do this one myself .. lol

As for social services, I know that they do make exceptions here in Minnesota for roommates living together, there's some extra paperwork involved but you should be able to establish that you are sharing expenses half and half. Also, try your church, they often have emergency funds for things like car repair when there is a disabled person involved. If you don't have a church of your own, Catholic Charities and Lutheran Social Services and the Salvation Army all have programs to help in emergency situations and they do not care what your religion is. You should be able to find their numbers in the "community" section of your phone directory. (As well as others that may help)

If it comes down to it, let the tv go, but keep the internet, it keeps you in touch with job opportunities and a lot of places now require you have internet to apply for their jobs. It also keeps you in touch with support systems so you don't get depressed over financial crap! And you can always watch your tv online

Hang in there .. things can only get better!

Ps. If you find yourself needing vaping supplies, do let me know, I have a stockpile that you wouldn't believe going on over here.

Could you have a garage sale? Offer to babysit for anyone? Offer to have a garage sale for your neighbors and get paid with a "cut" if the take/sale? My friend does this. She has a huge garage sale every summer and rounds up the neighbor's stuff - they bring it tagged with masking tape with their initials on it. As it sells, she removes the tag and puts it on a piece of paper with what it actually sold for and then when it's over she gets 20% of the sale price. The tagged paper gives her a way to track who sold what.

Contact a food pantry or some churches. With your mom's health issues you really need to have a working car.

Why do they lump your income with your mom's? You're not her dependent nor she yours? You're really just roommates sharing a home. I'd double check on that one. I know our social services are overwhelmed right now, but check again.

Whu is unemployment withholding my payments?? I'm scared that I'm now in the zero cash club! It says my claim was approved and shows what I should have available....but no payments last week or this week~!!!

I, like so many others live week to week, and I have obligations than need paid. I'm looking at having to give back the computer, washer and dryer and TV since I cant swing the payments.

I've rounded up all my used cartos to test and see if they still work before trying my first attempt at carto cleaning. Trying to evaluate my stash to see if I have anything worthy of selling.

I've been pretty stressed today, just had to have a little vent~!

carto cleanning is pretty easy and I have used cartos forever before they have burnned out, you also know that the group will help you when it comes to vaping. I hope things get better soon.i I'd call UE and ask about your check. I had mine set up to go into my bank account when I was on it last year and then I didn't have to wait on a check. My prayers are with you.

Morning!
Hugs Lynnlee.
Where is B?........


Bad bad morning! I went for my first day vape and my atty was dead. No problem, I have more..... Grab 2nd atty. Nothing...nada. 3rd and 4th.....nothing. I'm starting to panic at this point. Four dead attys at once! Finally open my last new one. Aaaahhhhhhh! Success! Vape vape vape. Metered those 4 attys. Yep...dead.

My trusty Riva of 4 months started acting quirky last night. Its in the vaping graveyard bin..... along with 4 more attys. Now I need to buy another back up battery AND more attys. It never ends.....

I'm here. I give Lynlee a hug too ((((Lynlee))))

Are you considering a mod at this point or sticking with Rivas?

 

[db13berry]

There you are.....*waves*

I have mods. One vv box mod, one Godzilla 5 volt, one Provape 3.7. I dont much care for the vv or the 5 volt. I use the Provape daily, but the 14500 batt life sucks on it. I tend to prefer Ego style while out and about. So, to give you the long answer, I dont know.

 

[MASTER0FDAMPF]

I had to put my eGo down on saturday

Feeling your pain there...If I was not entered in the "no backup" contest I think I would ahve already ordered a replacement...I should get a couple of atty's while I am at it....

For all day battery life, you really can't go wrong with an 18650 battery, no matter what mod it's in. The mAh on the 18650's differ a bit...I have one that's 2400mAh and a few that says 3000mAh (though I think that's ambitious for these batts, maybe 25/2600?). I vape A LOT (6ml a day usually) and one of them will get me through a day. If you're not a wood bottom feeder lover as I am, you can pick up a fairly cheap 18650 mod, such as the flashlight mods lots of folks are making or the Roughstack from Madvapes...even some of the plastic box mod makers are using a bigger box for the 18650 batteries.

 

[Darkwitless]

I'm bring the whole kit and caboodle on vacation. Trying to figure out how much juice I'll need etc. Will prefill a bunch of cartos for the drive and have tested the car charger. It's harder to change a carto while driving than it was to light a cig - not that I could smoke in the car with the kiddos or DH in it. lol Told DH will probably make better time this year since I won't be insisting on each stop being long enough to suck down 2 cigs before continuing on. ;-)

 

[webbcm127]

Can I use a 14650 bat in my BB, I know there longer then a 14500 bust was curiouser if anyone knew?

 

[Darkwitless]

I'm going to get a Hog when we get back (and he has some ready to sell) for my 1 yr vape anniversary. My riva's (2) and ego passthru have been awesome and I've passed most of my 510 gear on. I'm getting the 510 kit back from my sister. She's done.

 

[keyzygirl]

Its so nice not to have to pull over and have a smoke.I just open the window and vape away,lol!I used to say I had to pee and keep saying it until they stopped,but I really just needed a cig and knew they wouldnt stop for that.

It took me so long to quit cracking the window to get the "smoke" out! HAHAHA! If you have AC on you shouldn't need the window down.

I really want a hog. Im just not sure the bottom feeder is for me, yet. I tried the Boge Revolution to get a feel for it, but didn't like it. I'm not sure why I didnt like it though. Ive been stalking the classies lately for a different set up, I just get so lost in there with all the battery options and such. Ill take a look at the roughstack.

 

[BiancaMontgomery]

Roughstack is a good/solid mod that takes the 18650 battery...they also have the option to get the small body too and use an 18350...same batt life as the 14500 though, but good when you need a short term small mod. I had the whole set up for a long time and I used it all and loved it all. After I got a ProVari, I ended up selling it and kinda regretted it. =\ Now the ProVari is gone too and I'm a bottom feeder fan for life. I laugh now when I think about how set I was on finding a SMALL mod. I finally figured out that size didn't matter as long as it lasted all day and I didn't have to fill cartos constantly. It's a journey for everyone I think.
