Where were you?
You can also watch events on Help.com as they happen
not to be rude or nothing but are yall going to bet on the game this year?
we don’t have any thing to bet but we are still gonna watch it. And root for the team we want to win.
are yall going to go to the superbowl stadium and watch it
no.. we don’t have the money to buy tickets. so we are just gonna watch it at my moms.
oh. hey, just because yall don’t have a college degree doesn’t mean yall can’t do something. there are many people surviving. i believe that God will provide. i know some people that don’t have a degree and are making.
what are you doing right now for work?
Are you like from Texas. Anyways, my husband has a part time job working at McDonalds receving minimum wage, and for my self i am babysitting for my friends that i am staying with.
no i’m from mississippi. are you from up north? have you ever tried wal-mart?
no we have not tryed wal-mart but we live in Idaho
oh.what other places have yall tried? i’ve heard that idaho is very pretty.
Yes, Idaho is very beatiful. Since the growth of Idaho is so high it is almost impossible for people like me and my husband to get a job. We have tried Albertsons, house keeping, and a local bar. We had an apartment, but we could not afford to pay the rent so we were kicked out. What does Mississippi look like?
mississippi looks like… a bunch of woods near the south and north ends. in the middle it looks like new york.. a lot of people! also at the south there is the gulf of mexico. that is basically it. have yall ever thought of moving to a more rural area?
i forgot to add that in someplaces it looks like you can touch the sky when it is almost night time out in the country.:)
That sounds nice.
I love Idaho. It is where i was born and raised i could never move away no matter what happens.
what exactly is it like in idaho?
It is becoming very hectic. Since BSU won the Fiesta Bowl the WHOLE state is loving the football team. Yesterday there was a parade for the Football team and it was just so warming to know that a city could love a team so much. We have beatiful forrest and rivers. There are many things to do for fun. We have the biggest water park in the north-western area. If you like the summer when it is schorching hot and the winter when it is below ten then it would be the place for you. In the summer it is usually above 100 degrees.
wow! i think i would burn up badly up there because i am partial to the cold. i might have to try that water park though. down here i would just jump into a creek. there is this one that has white sand and it squeaks whenever you walk on it. i don’t keep up much with our football team,but i do support them. i know that when katrina hit they helped local schools clean up. i would probaly love the forrest and rivers i love watching the woods because you can always find wildlife.
Totally, you should come check out the water park it is so fun. Did you watch the fiesta bowl?
Asl?
no i didn’t watch the fiesta bowl though i did hear it was good. would you mind telling me what Asl means please. i am afraid i am not good at abbrevations.
i do feel really stupid. It was mostly my husband, i didn’t know we were gambling so much.
The Fiesta Bowl was the best game and will forever been in history, because BSU is uch and unknow team. asl stands for A-age, S-sex(gender),L-live.
let’s see i am a 15 year old female you lives in a hole in the wall place in south mississippi. what about you?
I am 25, female and i live on the streets but mostly at my friends house.
you probaly think me immature because i can get a bit carried away with talking. sorry. normally i don’t do that.
i am glad that you have such good friends.
I don’t think you are immature at all. i get off topic really easily too like right now, when i am supposed to be tring to find something that could help my husband and i.
i am really sorry that i am that hinderance for you. i hope that someone comes who has fabulous advice for yall. have yall ever tried to get a college degree?
I don’t have the money to get a schoolarship to go to college.
what about night classes?
www.usana.com
Night classes, well the ones that i have tried are way expensive and don’t fit my tight schedule. My daughter who is 2 needs me i can’t leave her. i will look at the sites maybe i will find a job that can fight my schedule.
good luck oxoxTRUELOVExox. hope you find what you are looking for. i have to go. bye.
Idaho doesn’t have any community colleges so i would have to go out of town away from my daugher. and where would i stay i don’t have the money to afford an apartment and a child.
Maybe i will check that out! i will have to talk to my husband. i will see if that works. but for now what could i do for a job?
Right now my husband is working at McDonalds and i am babysitting for my friends kids.
I am a single mother with no real education to speak of, I homeschool my 8 yr old son, and have a 2 yr old daughter I refuse to pawn off to a babysitter…I am an associate with Usana Health sciences and i am successful at it, without comprimising my time with my children, I am supporting them. I am not going into debt, I am creating a life for us all. Check out the site, and If I can help you I will.
Peace and good luck
Sounds like it is time to stop leaving it to chance and take control of your fianncial future hon, you can do it
Peace and Blessings
wow.
you said it right. you are basically in the same pit as me but i am broke. last time i checked i only had a dollar fifty in my checking account. Ever since we have bet on that game i have just been spending on my daughter and my husband they mean the world to me. i would do anything for them! i know this is not the best way to raise a child but i think i can pull threw. well my friends help and everyone on this site it could be a very possible chance that i could get my life back.
Ambeous-
thanks for the information i will for sure take a look with my husband.
i have to wait for my husband to view the site. he gets off at 5:00
I don’t have any money to spend on craigsllst (sorry if the spelling is off)What types of things for sale and what jobs are on there that don’t need college educations?
Thank you, but i would prefer to stay in the Boise area.
so your leaving, well thankyou for the information and i will FOR SURE check it out as soon as my husband gets home.
why did you leave. that was mean. i have enought problems in my life you could have atleast helped me out. sheesh.
i am sorry i am just really stressed. If i didn’t say thankyou then thankyou.
i am pretty sure i said thankyou though. you did give me all you knew and you helped me greatly and i appreciate it alot.
oh, bye the way asl?
well i am in as much a ****** up situation as you find yourself but instead of gambling everything away on the superbowl i gambled everything away on life itself. I am now living at home with my mom and my son and boyfriend. He finally found a descent job working for a furniture company and I babysit and paint. Neither one of us have college degrees but we are finally realizing we can manage for now without them. Have you tried to look into a temp agency? That is how my boyfriend found his job and he’s getting paid way more then he was working at some junked up retail store. didn’t know when you posted this but figured if you still needed help here it is.
