Don't really have any advice, but wanted to send some positive vibes your way, sounds like you need them.

((((((((((( colorisnt ))))))))))))

Many people out there are having it really tough and it sucks when someone flippantly says well do this or do that like their idea is the golden ticket for your troubles.

Don't let those that ask repeatedly about your situation get to you, they only mean well... they just don't realize it's a constant reminder of how things are not going exactly as you would like. Of course you'd tell them if your situation changed. The waiting game is the worse.

When your hands are tied it's about the worst feeling in the world. Yes, just stop spending money... one can live on the street.. one could beg for food to eat... one could sell off all of ones possessions and live at the Y.

Easy for the person living in the mansion to tell you to give up everything and easy for the person with a job to say.. GET a job.

Keep your chin up and just concentrate on what you CAN do.. what you CAN change.. the rest will take care of itself.

Good luck!!
