Reminder...

There are people on the net that have nothing better to do with their time then be nasty to other people online. They post rude comments, spend hours a day talking about sites they hate so much, that they well, spend hours a day talking about them. (lame) They mock the owners and posters for their opinions and their right to free speech. They expect everyone to fit into their narrow-minded little world view or else they throw a temper tantrum.

To these people I say grow up.

Here's a bit of info people...the web is a HUGE place. If you don't like what I say here, or who I am, or what I do, or talk about, or what I look like, or the color of my hair, or whatever asinine thing you dwell on, go somewhere else. It's really, really easy. Honest. You just click the little "x" in the corner of your browser and *poof* the offending, big, mean and nasty site has disappeared.

I pay for this site. It's mine. That means I can use it for whatever the hell I want to. Don't like it if I'm bitching about something in my life? Oh fucking well. Go somewhere else. Think I'm stupid for expressing my thoughts? Too fucking bad, don't read them. Somewhere along the line, someone forgot this simple fact: Live and let live Don't like me, cool, fine, whatever, I don't care. This journal is NOT for you. It's for me. I'm not in it for popularity or fame or anything stupid like that. I write it because I need to write and express myself and get things out of my head sometimes. So read or don't, it doesn't matter, but don't waste my time (or yours) bitching about it.

Not for lack of trying...

To those who keep commenting about the obvious: that I need a job to help the money problems. Yeah, no shit. But it's not that easy. If it were, I'd have one already. But I'm stuck in a catch-22. Need a car to get a job, need a job to get a car.

Why don't you just have/get a job? Not for lack of trying. There is nothing even remotely within walking distance. Nor do I own a bike. Miles to the nearest store. And a very busy, six lane road to boot. The bus doesn't even run to the mall from here because we're on the edge of the county. So I couldn't even get a job there. (Because I looked during the holidays for something since they always hire extra help then.)

No one hires part time around here - ever - unless it's a retail store but I can't get to any stores without transportation. They're just too far away. The only thing that I could do is work graveyard (if they even are hiring) at the super wal-mart and use the car while Love's sleeping. But he doesn't want me working graveyard because he's not comfortable with me being out alone as a woman at night like that. Not like it's my dream job anyway. *sighs*

Last year, I worked temp jobs and part time things as they came but that was when we were only about 4 miles from Love's work. So I could get him in, get to a local temp job, be able to come home before getting him at the end of the day. Now we're about 12 or so miles one way from his work. The car is literally barely making it to and from for him as it is. There's no way I could get him in, get to a job, come all the way back over here then go back all the way over there to pick him up and come home again. Which is why I need a car. Not a new car just a car. Something that runs. I need to be able to get to a job a and not risk him being able to get to work.

It's a very complicated issue. It's complicated more by the lack of transportation, the lack of things near me, the lack of health and the inability to get something part time. Believe me, if I could find a local part time job I could get to and from to, even if it was $5/hour I'd jump on it.
