I love you and you can always ALWAYS call me, or message me if you need to talk.

I am guilty of not being around as much as I was, I too feel low, life is a bag of crap lately,
Most recent My Sis being ill, My promoter from DJing at a Club died same weekend and My Sons Grandad has been diagnosed with same cancer as my Sister :(

Then last week I went to shops to get food for office lunch, as I was queuing someone hit my car in a big merc Sprinter van .. I ran out to him to get his insurance details (he was good as gold bless him and it was only a small bump) then I realised in my haste I had left my phone on the counter in the shop :( It had been stolen by the time I got back in there!!


Reported it stolen but police say the shops cctv is too grainy to see well.

Wasnt insured but I was due an upgrade so contacted my provider.

Bit of a long story here but :
I was in a lot of financial difficulty early 2000 so my dear old Mum took out the mobile contract for me, I paid it but wouldnt have had the credit to open an account myself so it went from my Mums name and address etc, When she passed away last year I called them the day after she died and explained this all to them, I asked could I keep the number and change the account into my name, the lady comiserated with me and said of course and she would do that for me.
Since then I was eligible for upgrade from about 9 months ago, they kept ringing me and sending me messages saying I could upgrade but since my phone was fine
I never bothered.
Anyway when I tried to do the upgrade online it kept spazzing out so I called their customer services, they told me that I would have to go to one of their stores and start a new contract, then they would twin it with this account so I could keep the same number, seemed long winded but I was happy to do this to get back on the phone!

Whem I went to the store and explained all this to the assistant he said no no we dont need to do all that, took my ID, unblocked my account and gave me my lovelY new Galaxy S8 which I love!

3 days later the police called and asked me for the e m e i number from my old phone so they could stop it being unblocked if it was taken into such a store that does these things, I called my provider, who said "the name on your account doesnt match with the one you are giving me ... I said "your kidding I only upgraded Saturday and they said nothing then?"
She then said oh dear that shouldnt have happened they shouldnt have given you the upgrade on that account....
You will have to bring it back to the store then we will have to open a new account for you and do a credit check on your name, see this one has been done on your mothers credit history Its sort of fraud I know not your fault as you didnt realise.
I then got quite upset and explained about my dear old Mum and how she had set this all up so I could have a phone ... then she had died and I had called straight away and been told the name change was fine to be done, I have paid my bill religiously these past 18 months no issues .... she said ohhh dear and was very apologetic and said just bring it in and we will see what we can do.

Was sposed to go yesterday but didnt go in I had a lot on and only 1 day off this week, but now I am well worried :(
I signed a contract so can they take it back? I have every intention to keep paying for it,

Sighhhhh sorry for the book, maybe someone here poss MON would know where I stand.

Xx

You're not weird, you're quite normal! Everyone goes through these periods. And don't tell yourself you "shouldn't" feel that way, that just adds guilt. There's no right or wrong about it, how you feel is valid.

And while we are at it..



You are all awesome!

Reading it back, I sound kinda bossy

Hope you're enjoying your Sunday IM.

SO sorry Simple....I think in today's world, there is just
WAY too much stress, just way too much stress, people are working so hard just to keep up with rising prices and family issues of all kinds. A neighbor lady aged 47, has a 16-year old daughter that is just driving her nuts, and her husband lost his job so she has to make it on her job alone which doesn't pay enough. Neither the husband or daughter help her with anything, so she has all the domestic things to do also. She feels sick but can't afford the doctor co-pay, and is too tired to make meals so there is alot of fast food which doesn't help. She comes over often just crying and feels unable to go on. And is so nervous she can't even sleep well. I'm really worried about her.
People feel "empty", because life is just a gerbil wheel, they cannot get ahead and feel accomplishment and this is just non-stop, and they cannot even let down for a vacation.
Prayers for you Simple,

A bossy KickinIt. My God, what is this world coming to.

Although it might give options for a movie..



*thinks and pictures* Nah, not possible. Not our Kickin.

.. or is it..

Magnitude 3.4
Region ISLAND OF HAWAII, HAWAII
Date time 2018-09-30 20:46:45.3 UTC
Location 19.51 N ; 155.67 W
Depth 3 km

ETA: This quake is right on Mauna Loa. I watched the Hawaii portion of Dutch's video from 10pm last night, and he mentioned the recent uptick in HI quakes and how they are spread out all over the big island, as was mentioned on this thread. He then turned on the microquakes (0.0 and up), and there is a swarm going on at Mauna Loa in particular. By far there were more quakes there than at Kilauea, although there was a small swarm there, as well as whatever volcano is at the very northern tip of the island.

Not sure what this all means, but I'm watching...

IM, you have a way with comforting words, with grounding sentiments, a rare attribute. I agree we have lost life's balance,,,I lived during the happy 1950's,,,,women were home taking care of husband and children and home. My teaching in home economics was all about the skills needed for women in the home. Then in the late 1960's women began to go to work, egged on by the government, who would be enriched by the taxes on their pay, instead of the husband having an UN-TAXED ASSET all to themselves. The monetary worth of this asset was delegated to the workforce and taxed by the government. The husband and children lost their wife and mother, and things have only deteriorated since then, into this horribly chaotic situation. God set the way families should be,,,the husband working for food, the wife his help-mate in the home.
I am old enough to have seen this gradual change,,,and seen women especially constantly driven with the stress of it all.
You are a precious soul IM,,,,,
