As most of you know, I've been out of work for a year, and now I'm completely broke. Last Saturday I had my first interview, and today I have one with another company ( Read more... )

As many of you know, I've been jobless since last August, with no income. My savings have finally run out, and I have about $150 left, and needing to pay $600 a month ( Read more... )

Okay, I was wrong. There was not a starling trapped in the wall. There were FIVE of them. The young ones didn't make it, which explains why the "feed me!" cries stopped a few days ago. They likely were exploring outside of the nest and fell into a space they couldn't get out ( Read more... )

I've told some of you about the birds (Brewer's Blackbirds, I THINK) (Edit - I was wrong. Apparently they are starlings, since they sound JUST like this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7Rd1YoqjFQ ) that found their way into my house a while ago. They ended up nesting ( Read more... )

Hey everyone, I'm going to be gone until Sunday evening my time, since I'm heading to my grandmother's memorial service in her home town near The Dalles, Oregon. The motel supposedly has wifi access, but I can't guarantee that I'll be around at all.

I'm just about ready to pack up the last of my things. See everyone later!

Ok, I'll jump on the bandwagon.

Post a picture in my comments that you think describes me when you think about what/who I am. No matter how surreal or plain. Give no written explanation. Just an image.

I've told a few of you already that my grandmother on my father's side had been having health issues lately. She was already in a home, and her mind was unfortunately starting to go as well ( Read more... )

I've already told some of you this, but I was fired from Walmart last Friday after being there for about 6 and a half years. It was partly my fault, partly a customer's, but the end result is that I need to start looking for another job. I should be feeling sad, but I feel more free from that place than anything, since after a while it just kinda ( Read more... )
