GOod morning everyone!!
I took a small nap :) LOL

The fire is about 90% contained- it burned around 1600 acres- I havent been out to see how close it got to me- but I know it was pretty close. Noone lost a home, noone lost any animals, but I think we ALL lost some sleep and gained a few grey hairs.

I have to unload 3 pickup trucks now, and work on setting my house back to order-

and yeah- we are under a burn ban- which means we can not burn our trash at all ( we are rural, we still burn our trash in burn barrels and we burn stumps and debri that we cut down etc. ) we have been under a burn ban for MONTHS- but this was someone driving down backroads adn throwing out flares or something to start these 3 fires. they drove down a stretch of road for abotu 4 miles and started 3 fires.

Starting about 4 miles from me- One of them started right at my SIL's house- (4miles away) the other at my husbands Job (8miles away) Before it was over they had shut down 2 major highways, adn had a few dozen differnt volunteer firefighting companies out here- we dont have paid firefighters.

anyway- I am off to put my life back to normal-ish, and try to convice my 7 year old daughter that we are not allowed to form lynch mobs anymore- and that even if we could, I couldnt let her join- she is too easily identifiable with that pink hair.

There is a fire burning in Leander close to us but it is across a lake from us so I think we're safe. But Quittin', if you get any rain, send some on down to Austin please!

BTW - you mods all know that we all know that you are all nice right? I just don't know if there is anything you can do about that at this point. :p

Just keep in mind that if you send a check and they cash it, most states consider that a legal/binding payment agreement. It doesn't matter how large or small the amount of the payment is. But, at that point, you are obligated to pay that amount and no less each month.
 
keyz, thats ALL you can do, and as long as you are trying they cant say much-

I have a surgery I had in 2000- it cost me 15,000 back then- I still owe over 12,000.00- I DID pay off the Dr, the anastese.... uhhhhhh laughing gas dude, and a few other things, but the actual rental of the room is still hanging over me- Tht was over 15,000.00 alone. They have called me a few dozen times and asked personal questions, like my race, ethnic background, and alien status. to see if I qualify for them to write it off.

Keyz - whatever you do - don't give them access (other than a check) to your checking account for ACH - they can (and will) take whatever they can get.

Contact the Hospital and ask if they have a dept for financial assistance. My sis was able to get the hospital portion of her hubby's bill drastically cut. Of course the Doc all wanted 100% - and are still being paid a year later...and then some. But while they all originally talked a tough game, she's tougher. LOL And so are you. What are they going to do? Repo your hubby's heart stuff or your new ear? And trust me - they don't want one of the kids. ;-)

Hang tough. Your healing. He's healing. Try not to let this eat you up.

I got a book yesterday titled 'Teach yourself to crochet" In small print it said 'left handed instructions included'



It worked!!! I am crocheting and it looks the way it's supposed to~!!! My mom is happy I can finally do it but ...... that it took me 5 minutes with a book to catch on when she's been trying to teach me for 25 years or so~!!
