[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 332757, member: 84"] Nichole and husband will just have to sort out the tax issue. Seems now that she's out of work husband isn't grumbling so much about it. I've got my own problems trying to catch up with school work.....so my mind is just so not there for this sort of thing. Nichole came over today to borrow the computer and make some phone calls. She only has a cell and hasn't had money to buy minutes. She told husband that her manager at the plant told her to call the temp co in about a week and start harrassing them to get her back to work. So that sounds awfully good. :) Poor girl is almost in panic mode. She called community action.......she called welfare about food stamps and the like....she attempted to get unemployment kicked in but their website is being a major PITA so she has to work on that again tomorrow. Their scanner wasn't accepting her ss card. Welfare sent her to the food bank. Interesting as they've been down to bare bones for months.......wanted her to do that first, but the time she stood in line there half the day, welfare said it was to late to start the process for emergency food stamps and she'd have to come back in the morning. Community Action will give her some help with the utilities. Now she just has to figure out how to pay her rent. :( Nichole has been babysitting for easy child during the layover time between when sister in law goes to work and easy child gets home from work. And on the weekends easy child works. easy child was supposed to pay Nichole for this time. It's been a few months and Nichole hasn't seen a dime. easy child is not so good about paying family for services rendered. (I warned Nichole that was one reason I stopped watching the boys regularly) Nichole has had me ask easy child several times about payment for the babysitting.....which easy child always says she intends to pay. I've been pushing Nichole to do this herself but she's afraid of making easy child mad at her. Need has changed this and Nichole is pressing easy child to pay up in full. By now it may be enough to cover Nichole's rent......a big OUCH for easy child but if she'd paid all along she wouldn't be caught now. I don't feel sorry for her. There are some meals that I make that I only know how to make for large amts of people. Normally husband and I are eating leftovers until we begin to gag on them. lol So when I make these meals now....I'm going to invite the kids over to dinner.
