Gah. My stomach is roiling in sympathy with -t, Aimée and vw. Three unique flavors of completely unjust suckitude, and hitting on all the horrid wounded places we all have about money and adulthood and failure and dependence and arrgh. Dammit. I'm sending -ma, because I can't think what else to do.
It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

In a sort of good news, I just talked to the hospital's collection agency--which is full of kind, cooperative individuals, just to put that out before the universe--and found out that the thousand-dollar bill they sent me a "reminder" on is just a renamed old bill I knew about but which slipped through my record-keeping, not a new one.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Thanks guys. I'm doing better and have gottena better grasp of things and I don't really hate my life. I have a wonnerful hubby, BEAUTIFUL daughter and a lot around that makes me happy including really great Bitches. And friends. Sorry for the Drama Queen routine, I just felt so....
Well, you know.
Anyway, thanks.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled Bitches.

Trust my rage
Plus, Aimee, what you described was totally worthy of your reaction. Just glad to hear you are feeling better.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
{{Aimee}} I am shocked that they won't work with you. Seriously, anyone collecting a debt is usually far more interested in actually collecting the money than going through a bunch of legal fire rings. OTOH, didn't Ford's bonds just get declared non-investment quality because of thier poor credit rating? Maybe that has some relevance...
That's a nasty surprise, vw. More hugs for you.
The place we looked at was very nice - two story and the first floor was pretty damn close to as big as the entire current place. We're gonna give them a deposit with the rental app tomorrow. They go by credit rating, and I have no idea what mine is like, but it was good enough to get a car loan two years ago, so I'm assuming it's good enough to get an apartment that we can, in fact, afford. If all goes well we can start moving in on Monday.

What is even happening?
Oh, -t, good luck to you.
Aimee, I'm sorry you're going through this crap. Strength to you, babe. And may it all get settled as quickly and painlessly as possible.
