Guest guest Posted June 23, 2003 Report Share Posted June 23, 2003 Depends on disability, state help, child support, and my being able to save money (how with as tight as money is now as it is I dont have a clue) to move us and our stuff down there.. as you already know tho I try everyday to think of Anything I could do to earn just a little extra money each month, if not to do something with Kaylee then for food or saving. Lot of time and lot of ideas, but nothing... hope my cakes pick up, is a back killer but its money and right now that's what I need so bad, with rent and car ins going up and child support dropping they make it so I can barely live in a 1.. yes I said 1 bedroom apt as it is. The govt sucks when it comes to the disabled and single parents and people who Want to work but can't.. thanks in part to those who suck off the system all they can. Oops sorry didn't mean to go off the subject.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2003 Report Share Posted June 23, 2003 Now jsut got this one... Weird! Yeah am thinking very seriously about it, the benefits of it for me and most of all Kaylee are too great not to consider it if my current income/expenses are/can be the same if not a little better down there. My family doesn't see why, of course they can get out in the wintertime to grocery shop, they should know tho they do most of my grocery shopping for me! The fight will be with her dad I think, not b/c of her being so far, just b/c that's the way he is.. anything to screw me. I'm going to talk to my doc about it at my appt on the 30th but my guess is she'd back me medically speaking (if she's able) saying it would be better for me AND Kaylee as I may not ever have total relief of the pain, but I could improve my muscletone and strength in my legs if I'm able to do it year round rather than just May-Sept when its warm out. I have a friend in Ocala, one in Orlando, pharmacist soon to be in Ft Myers, is in the Tampa/St Pete area (She's SOOO close to the beach! LOL), a nd another in Palm Springs (W. Palm Beach). I hope in one of those cities I'll find all of what I need to be able to live there, at least I'll know one person moving down there. I have been leaning more toward where is b/c it's where I've been each time I've ever been to FL but mainly b/c I'd have someone that knows what I'm going thru close and I could go over and help her out if she needed it and vica versa. In all honesty, my 2nd consideration would be Ft. Myers where my friend/pharmacist Lara is moving to soon. I know Kaylee's first pick would be Orlando but telling her we could live within even 30min of a beach, she'd go for that first b/c she knows we couldn't afford Disney right away but the beach is free. I know if this happens I'm going to be at the beach the first few months EVERY SINGLE DAY ... well not like she'd be dragging me hahaha We're both fish, love the water. Heck maybe and I would go bunjee jumping off the Skyway bridge.. yeah right after we smoke a few dozen joints ROFLMAO JUST KIDDING!!!!! (about the bunjee jumping) LOL Seriously, am joking about both, but it was funny wasn't it? ? ??? LOL I know she's laughing at that just as I am and the rest of you are.
