I'm so sorry

[Aresi]

For all of you who I owe stuff to. I've got everything all packaged up. It's just the money I got from cans/bottles, had to go into the gas tank. I'm pinching pennies right now until I get my next unemployment check, which should be this week. I'm gonna open up the packages and stuff some extras in there, even if it's just some of my home brew juice (in low nic) as an I'm sorry.

Again guys, I'm so so sorry.

*meanders off to figure out what she can sell to get her phone turned back on*

 

[BiancaMontgomery]

Sweetie, PM the people you have packages for, I'm sure they will understand. If you're getting your check this week, it's going to be in the next 3 days, they won't have to wait much longer. Hang in there. (((GIANT hug)))

Aresi - you don't owe me anything, but I feel you girl! I've been working as much as I can, and I thank God for UI Benefits! BUT -I managed to make enough last quarter for them to start a new claim - I've just been dropped to $116 a week. How, I ask you, do people live on $116 a week? Oy oy oysters. I've dropped my cell (only phone) to the lowest minutes I can to keep it alive, and only talk after 9pm or on weekends. If I have to make business calls I go to my mom's. I luckily live close to a grocery store so I can walk, but I don't buy much at a time lol.

Hold on, you'll make it work. Times are tough but ain't none of us going to give up! Aren't you glad vaping is so much cheaper than smoking was?

(((({{{{HUGS}}}})))) You'll make it girl!

 

[keyzygirl]

(((((((((((((((Hugs!!!)))))))))))))))

Yep! Ditto that ^

It's rough trying to make it all work sometimes... thank goodness we have the option to still get our nic! And thank goodness for PIF too. What can I do to help? Would some mailing supplies help? PM me your addy and I'll send out a package. (need your nic mg level too.. a sweetheart of a member sent me a huge package of juices that her and her hubby didn't want, so I've been sharing those with the members that need them.. sounds like you do. She sent some hardware too, what PV set up do you have? LMK! K?)

(((hugs))) hang in there! Summer is coming.. a little sunshine helps everything look brighter

 

[Cassie]

Hope things work out soon! I think a lot of folks are to the point of pawning or selling things to get by. I'll be there in a month or so when my job of 25 years closes their doors for good =( I don't know what's going to happen LOL there isn't a big calling for people that sew draperies.

I second that! If you need 4x8 or 6x10 padded envelopes PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let me know and I will send some your way. I goofed and ordered more than I can use in a lifetime.

I can also help with nic juice, flavors, pg, vg, bottles cause no way I want you running out . I can even mix you up some juice if you like just pm me.

((((hugs)))) Hang in there it will get better....Take it from someone who has been where you are and back many many times now.

 

[The Big Chief]

Yeah, been there, done that. I got plenty envelopes too...just say something if ya need a care package of some sort.. mailers, juice, parts, whatever.

 

[leannebug]

See that Aresi? A LOT of us have been there. I think that's part of what makes PIF work so well. We've all walked a mile in each others shoes- and at any given time, there will be a hand held out, to help a fellow human up..

 

[Sethari]

I don’t know who else you have packages for, but no worries on my end. Send mine last and under no circumstances should you send it if you can’t afford it! Both my wife and I were laid off earlier this year & I know what it feels like to scrape for postage. Take as much time as you need and pay me back for being patient by not feeling bad about it.

 

[BorisTheSpider]

Oh yes, we've all been there. Actually, I'm there now. For a moment, I was worried I wouldn't have enough to send out a second package this week. It just happened that I got to send out two at once. Now it'll likely be a while before I can send anything out for a while.

The important thing here is to not lose hope.

 

[Aresi]

Wow...*sniffles* You guys are amazing. I have envelopes, nic juice, flavors, bottles, a good working batt for when I'm out, and my PT, 3 atties and the tank atty and carts. I think I'm mostly good. I'll probably send out what I need to send out, including the kit for my friend who wants to start vaping (thanks Chief), and not PIF for awhile. I hate to have to do that, but, well, I just can't afford the shipping, and it's not fair for me to hold onto things for so long.

Sorry to hear that Cassie. I guess it is time to start a new career. You are smart and very talented in a lot of things. Find your niche and go for it girlfriend What did you want to do before working for your mom. You are very good at your 2nd profession. But I would do that on the side and find something that really interest you.

Hugs and God Bless you,
Skeeter

 

[Skeeterkck]

Aresi~ You hang in there. Lots of people are willing to help if they can.The economy has all of us pinching. Even those of us that have 2 jobs. It's still isn't enough. God will provide and send help if need be.

Hugs,
Skeeterkck

 

[jeannest]

(((((Aresi)))))) Hugs to you! I don't think anyone is going to be upset with you; many people are going through rough times right now.

It's getting really scary with all the unemployment and high food/gas prices. I'm not sure what it going to happen. I went back to college a few years ago (at 40 years old) and I don't know if I'll even be able to find a job after I get my degree next year. My husband's boss has been slashing hours and talking about closing down the business. The thing that worries me is that things could get way worse than they are now.

 

[Aresi]

Everythings in the mail as of Saturday. I THINK I notified everyone. Hope I didn't forget anyone. I had planned to keep 5 bucks in my purse, then I saw the girl scouts and their cookies. Darn their cookies. *stuffs thin mints into her mouth* I couldn't resist. They're like....crack. I see a girl scout, and I want thin mints.

Gas is 4 bucks a gallon for the high octane. So that means about 3.75-3.80 for the low grade here. My unemployment got reduced to 130 a week. My rent is 700 a month, don't get me started on my phone. Which is shut down. I can't make outgoing calls. So yeah, roomie and I are in a tight spot. We'll make it. We're not blood related, but we're still family.

Thanks all for understanding, and being willing to offer a hand. I should be good. And if I need anything, I'll find something to trade for it.

 

[lmd514]

Been there, done that. Everybody kept telling me that there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and my only thought was, "Yeah, except its an oncoming train!" But we, along with our two kids, have made it though. I've been laid off and so has my husband. We are both extremely thankful to be working right now.

Hugs hun. Be thankful for what you do have at the moment, even though it may not seem like much. You still have a roof over your head, and there is something to eat, even if it is ramen, lol.

 

[Aresi]

LOL If I'm eating ramen, so's the roomie! She takes care of me. *noms on Carl's Jr.*
