Title: Depressed, upset, don't give a crap!
Post by LadyElaine1 on Oct 26^th, 2006, 4:02pm

Finally I feel like I am at rock bottom. Everytime we see daylight someone throws a blanket over us and it gets Dark again. I am afraid of the dark I guess !

The rain is almost here, no camping till Friday night or Saturday. Right now I could care less if we go. I just as soon stay home, and have a big pity party.

My water in the shower was making a pulsating sound. Then I noticed the sound when I washed cloths, and flushed the tolit. So I walk up to the well and water is every where. I called the well com. and they came out qoated me $346
I started crying told them couldn't aford it. They were real nice, said it would burn up if I didn't get a new tank and would cost triple. So they felt sorry for me, gave me a payment plan of $200 the first and $146 the first of Dec.
Had to write two post dated checks. There went Christmas. My Mom has to have tax money for her house by Nov 15th, a little over $600 she only has a little over three hunderd so she expect us to come up with that. My brothers don't even know her when she needs money.
This house is only 4 years old and everything that could break has broke. Right now I just am not finding a bright side. I guess the bright side is my clusters are only hitting one time a night and the o2 is knocking them out. I wish someone would knock me out so I didn't have to think.

Your Elaine that is always looking at the bright side, can't find one right now.

Matter of fact I wish I knew somewhere to run. Ever just wanted to run and never look back.

What a screwed up day!

Oh Elaine... (((HUG))) we loves you! lots and lots and lots.
I'm sorry everything is so up the pole at the moment, I wish I was nearer so I could come over with some emergency supplies - chocolate, rootbeer and a couple of funny films! We'd soon be gigling like a pair of loons!
Never be sorry for admitting it all gets too much, it does for ALL of us from time to time, even such a strong character as you. Now give your water thingummydoodah a Jonny salute from me!
lots of love
Helen xxx

Elaine, that's the small stuff that means everything to us-till the big stuff hits.Where's Buddy? Where's DJ? Where's Deveny? If they're still with you on Earth, well, that's something to smile about, doncha think?
Do you think they love you coz the Christmas tree is full of packages?? Honey, they love you coz you're YOU!
It sux that this house you were soo happy to own has been such a PIA for you. The pump, however?? Is it common for them to fail out there after just 4 yrs?? Maybe you have some recourse, E. Drag out your paperwork, and go after the company if there is ANy CHANCE AT ALL! Our pump is 13 yrs old, and, knock on wood, it just keeps on ticking!
LIL>. oh, and, of course you give a crap.....you prolly give 2 craps, actually! Stay inside and warm, watch the races on TV and....and.........eat all the food in the house!!!
Life is Good, E- let me know whenever you need reminding, wouldja please??

Here's a big ole bear hug. Let me know when you're ready for another one........

I don't know why it is so hard for nice people to stay on top of the every day things. $300 and some dollars is like a million if you don't have it. I know where you are, Elaine..been right there with you for most of my life and still working after retirement age due to need. I find myself just thinking about one problem after another and then start over again with number one and it goes around and around. I guess I'm a little down today too. I just recently (like 3 weeks ago) found out I've turned diabetic on top of everything else.

I don't have an answer, but if I win the lottery, you'll get a nice amount of it, no kidding! ( no LOL, just a smirk right now....that's all I've got).

Praying for an answer for us, kid.

Tomorrow I'll be sorry I exposed myself like this. Oh well. But we are among friends............

Elaine, I know it won't do you much good now but I just checked and I an 3 1/2 hours from you doing the speed limit LOL. I am guessing you are talking about a bladder tank that has gone bad and your pump will run constant without it. Cathi is right in that they should under normal circumstances last much longer than 4 yrs. I am not trying to be a chauvinist but usually the only thing that goes wrong with pressure tanks over the short run would be the regulator or points. I hope you are not being taken advantage of.

Wow, the point I was making is that if you need someone to help you out with maintenance issues call me. I can do most things I would just need to find someone with a back to help me out, and for a Clusterhead I will even use my own back and pay for it later if need be. PM me and I will give ya my #s.

and yes I feel like running away most days, but I have done a lot of that and it's just the same shit, different lawn....Tim

I'm sorry, Elaine. I bought an old "fixer upper" six years ago, and I'm still fixing up. After six years, it's time to start all over again and I haven't even finished the first go round :'( cuz I can't afford to do everything that has to be done. I know how you feel.

But, I think Tim might be on the right track about the bladder tank. Ours went bad in our old house and we had to replace it , but not the whole pump. If I remember correctly, when they put in the new tank, we were instructed that I had to bleed/drain it out periodically to maintain correct pressure??? Otherwise, it ran constantly. (Ask Tim - not me) So far in this house it's been working just fine (knock wood).

But, thinking about a leaky bladder tank.......Hmmm I think my personal bladder tank is developing a teensy leak!

Hang in, honey.

Thanks everyone I will be ok maybe tomorrow. I am not thinking stright these days.
Buddy is going to call the well people tomorrow. There should be a 10 year warrenty on the tank. They are the people who put the tank in, they should know that. We will see what they say tomorrow. I didn't even think about that.
Tanner Thank you so much offering. I will take that phone number. Check your PMs
Tim and Cathy and others, I will be ok it always works out. I think I am just tired. This race thing and clusters and bills they don't mix.

Big hug to you all!

Jackie thanks for the ear today! Love ya!

Hey Elaine

You're not alone sister, we're going thru the same shit! Cant catch up - cant catch a break.

One thing after another, Ramon's in cycle, my health sucks, both of our jobs are now in jeopardy, and one thing after another getting turned off.

Ramon's car died.... can afford to get it fixed.... so we're down to one car... with two completely different schedules..just to add to the bullshit stress.

and i will stop there...

Hugs to you Elaine........ I'm right there with ya.

Rats.

Wish I had something exciting for you but I don't. All I know is that you know enough to take care of the big stuff first. Lots of people don't know that.

Things will look better soon. Unfortunately you are tested more than most but you will do fine, kid.

I'm so sorry you're going through all of this all at once. Last time I had these HA's our well went out, the dryer broke, the fridge broke, the furnace broke--all needed to be replaced. Which is where the money for my husband's vasectomy went. Which is why my lovely daughter Marina (we call her Oops) was born last November 22nd. Hang in there--

Geez Louise. :-/
Sorry you're going through the muck and mire, but as you well know when it rains it pours. Would life be any different if we didn't have dilemma to dilemma back to back or one on top of another?

Just know that, the greatest peace comes after the biggest storms.

LOL Tata ! I had to laugh on that post.

I am better this morning, just finished sucking on my o2, now I am having some coffee waitting for that sore after the fight feeling to go away so I can go back to bed on this rainey Georgia morning. I will be with my Hubby tonight at the race track rain or no rain.

I am over the shock of the tank on the well. I have a sign to put on the camper that says ! MAKE A OFFER IT COULD BE YOURS IF THE PRICE IS RIGHT!

Wonder how long it will take Buddy to even notice the sign?
