Thanks again as usual. So glad you got the computer issue straighted out. Yes today it is a necessity!! lol
No the collection calls are not bad – mostly because I have Magic Jack and they do not have that number.

Well taking longer is just because I need to get the cash together instead of taking it out of my IRA. So this month and next month and I should be there!!

Going to Jersey next month for my grandsons (twins) 3rd birthday. My son sent me a ticket so….. either before I leave or definitely after I get back I will be able to have the paperwork filled out and on my way!!

Surprising to say this, but……….. I really am at ease with it all! LOL

Glad things are working out for you and your family!!!!

Hey Lois,

Sorry for the late response-I have been without my personal computer for a few days. It finally took a dive so I am on borrowed time here with the kids computer (lol).

This country is in a huge mess-you got that right! I am very sad to see what is going on. Pretty sad too that even our Police and Fire Departments here are doing major cuts. No job is safe any more. We just gotta do what we gotta do and take a little crap along the way—for now anyway.

Gosh, I hate to to hear your BK has to take longer than expected. I hope the collection efforts haven’t gotten too out of hand yet. The sooner you file-the sooner it will all be over with.

The one good thing I learned when we were struggling to get the money to file, is that I never want to be in debt…AGAIN. All the creditor calls and letters and threats did bother me at the time and I will never be in that position again. So I guess waiting could help a little. It will be a reminder of where you don’t want to be—ever again.

My 4th was quiet but that was fine with me.
You are right about all you have posted. But companies get away with crap right now because of the economy and job losses. And (only my feeling) it is not getting better – only worse!!

So for now you have to do what you have to do – and I mean “all of us” in this situation. There are no easy answers but you already know that. At least you understand and realize and have the maturity to think things through!!

Our country is in a real mess right now and it will take years before things improve! Sad but that is how I see it!!

So on a lighter note, my bankruptcy is taking longer than I had hoped for since I am taking my lawyer’s advice and not taking the money out of my IRA. But now I agree with her and am doing again “what I have to do”~~ LOL
And smiling while I do it!!!!!
