Fuck! All my VCRs died this week. One lost sound but had video. Second had video but lost sound. I went to the thrift store and bought one as-is for 9 bucks. After hooking it up at home I discovered it had video but no sound. I was pissed. Today I took them to the hazardous waste disposal station along with an old B&W TV and an old Super 8 projector that had a bad tube. I picked up 3 pints of paint from their reuse locker...
On the way home I passed a yardsale and saw a DVD player. I stopped and asked how much they wanted for it. I was told 5 bucks. I got it. I told them I was really looking for a VCR. The lady said wait a minute, my mom has some VCRs. Soon I had a fairly new one for 5 bucks more. I brought them home and immediatly hooked them up. Both work, so now I can watch my old collection of tapes and new collection of CDs. 10 bucks, such a deal...
Last week I picked up a free 32 inch Cathode Ray Tube colour set from craiglisters in Davis. I've been watching videos on my new setup all day...in living color.
I watch the local digital broadcasts on a smaller 13 inch color set with rabbitt ear antenna. I have a couple of small satellite tv dishes and a converter but haven't figured out yet how to hook it up and aim it yet...I'm going into the 21st Century kicking and screaming...

Fuck no, but not today. I didn't sleep because I was thinking of Caleb - last night was six months since he died.goathead wrote:Fuck
that sucks.
is there every a right day for these problems though?
And I have to decide today whether to sign a second mortgage to buy my ex-husband out OR to sell my house. I don't need to have the furnace fuck up today. It's beyond my coping skills so I say FUCK it.

Fuck, yeah. 'cause now it's going to be a damn cold weekend in this house 'cause they can't install til Monday.
Marshmallow rum drink, fireplace and someone to cuddle me! That's what I need.
And by the end of the weekend I'll need to go to the doctor 'cause I'll have caught pneumonia in this fuckin' cold house. Without the furnace, it's colder than a drafty ol' Welsh castle.

Fuck, I hate bills. $510.04 for annual property tax, $100.25 for biannual smog check and vehicle repair. $75.00 for annual car tags. $25.00 for gas fillup. $10.00 haircut. $8.00 DMV readout for job application. $7.00 for creditcard bill. $10.00 yardsale VCR/CD player. $12.00 PG&E gas and electric bill. $72.12 for quarterly garbage bill. $10.00 medication. $20.00 for 50 pounds of dogfood. $15.00 phone bill. $69.13 water/sewage bill. Next week I'll get water and phone bills to start off next month. Arghhh. I'm down to $58.00 cash. I need to make $26.00 this weekend. I'm good for now, month to month...
On Thursday I see my county health department doctor for Paxil refill prescription. I see my mental health medication therapist on Friday. I hope he starts me on Zoloft 100 mg. Next Monday I start my 5 day " From Interview to Paycheck" class at the Job Center. I'm going to get a $60.00 check from state rehabilition office this week to buy gas to attend the class. After completion I'm eligible to get new clothing for Job search. I've been neglecting my apperance lately. I got a haircut yesterday and shaved off my beard so that I look more " respectable". I need to suit up for class Monday. Please keep me in your prayers, or good wishes.
Fuck, unemployment sucks too.

Ended up with four good vcrs. The kids were tossing them.. Friends and I find tapes at Goodwill and yard sales.. Then we trade them around.. Next year we sell then at our yard sales.gyre wrote:I have a good book on home repair of vcrs.
And they still make some good ones including svhs.
worth hanging onto those black and whites.
They use almost no power when you need one in a power failure.

When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle.
Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me

Fuck, found out my widowed SIL in NM is losing her house. When my oldest brother died in 2001, he left her with outstanding credit card debt and no life insurance. She didn't even know what the mortgage payment was! She's tried to get by on the antique mall, which was the very reason they'd been in debt. She tried working with the mortgage company, but just didn't meet any of their requirements. Fuck, she's a sweetheart, this is just too cruel. My dad sends money every month, but it isn't enough to fill the hole of debt left to her. Her kids are grown, one contriutes, the other hasn't given her a dime. Guess which one will move into an apartment with her and which shall not?
My other widowed SIL is blowing through the insurance money. She's taken trips to Seaworld and South Carolina with her two adult kids, and went out to Wendover last week (Nevada casinos) Any excuse to get out of town. She's not working, she's gone back to school to improve her degree. No job in sight. My brother Larry always did the finances because she was so bad; bad enough he canceled every credit card and checking account! She's also "too overwhelmed" to file her taxes from last year. She will lose her house just as surely. I'd be paying off the mortgage and the second mortgage rather than going to the freaking beach!
Fuck, life is scary.

and,
as the outcome for both seems the same, it's a fucking interesting example of how some people are thrust into situations without cause, and, some, get to exactly the spot they are heading, on their own, and, get the life they choose.............
