Claude - Are you sure ignoring my PM's is the route you want to take in resolving this?
Thanks
Craig
no , im not ignoring anyone or anything....quite simply , i've been too sick to do much of anything the past few weeks.... i'm now down 50 pounds already since pop died and over the past 2-3 weeks i'm having major problems with food....everything tastes extremely bland or really nasty and i can't eat without getting incredibly sick....i'm now so weak that merely getting off the couch to walk to the kitchen or bathroom leaves me so winded that i have to sit and rest....
financially i'm at a loss....pop was my source of in=come and he died and his estate is still in probate....mom was his personal representative and the only one named in his will so she should get everything - except the state already took custody of her due to her alzheimers....as such , despite her desires to return home and help pay bills here , literally everything of hers is now frozen pending several court hearings (appointments of guardians and a conservator who will then have 100% say-so on how her assets are used ...currently that would mean using everything she has to pay a nursing home 5100 per month until her money (which consists purely of proceeds from dad's life insurance) runs out and then coming and trying to liquidate all her property....after that's gone ? who knows...either way it means i'm about to be on the street again because we're already facing foreclosure on the house i live in....
though my health status currently makes full time employment almost impossible , i still am out of town 3 or 4 days a week trying to raise a little money....in addition to that i'm having to travel way too much for assorted meetings with lawyers , visits to the nursing home , and various court hearings regarding mom....
as of today , i'm roughly $800 short of bills that were due last month and then need to find a way to raise another $3500 by the end of the month to cover the july bills....unless something happens within the next day or two , i am facing disconnection on all 3 utility accounts as well as the phone and tv sometime within the next 4-5 days followed by the repossession of my car....
i have about 30-40 nicer cards here beside me that i would like to put online to raise some money , but frankly i don't even have the energy to sit up (thanks to the temperature in the house here hovering between 95 and 105 for the past 3 weeks) and get scans and descriptions written up ....my own collection is now on hold indefinitely and all i can buy now are items that are already earmarked for my customers who have made specific requests or have put down deposits on material....
in short - im not trying to avoid you or anyone else and i know i still owe you on our 2 or 3 old deals...that said , since pop died , my INCOME dropped by 1300 pr month while my bills INCREASED by 1500 per month and my top priority at this time is to find some way to secure and maintain a place to live and get the daily bills paid while figuring a way to take care of my mom and our pets too (and i won't even go into details on how much more of a problem was just created with the death of my grandmother friday)...
all i can do is ask you to continue bearing with me ....if it means i have to get a will drawn up and make you my primary beneficiary , i guarantee you that i WILL eventually get squared away with you .....
i know i am supposed to be in court tomorrow , working at fort jackson thursday , and then hope to have enough strength to be preparing for the weekend at the market on friday , but i'm hoping to get that stack of cards i mentioned above listed here and on one other site even if i cant get them on ebay yet....if i manage that and can raise some money , i'll let you know as soon as i know something....
and on that note , i have to change clothes (literally drenched in sweat and fearing a the onset of heatstroke from just sitting here long enough to type this) and haul off the trash before the dump closes.....
