Ronn ex-Mechanical Engineer and now broke.......... Let me see I have $75.00 to my name.

For next weeks food I will have to pawn something. My rent, phone, utilities are past due and I get no unemployment compensation.

I have no credit cards and have used all my 401K money up over the last two years to pay the difference between expenses and part time work.

So now I have no house no money no retirement how lucky I worked in the manufacturing field in a city without any anymore.

You told me to go to day labor like a migrant worker without a green card, tried that. I have three within 7 miles all filled with illegal aliens. Not a place for white people. You can tell, all the instructions on the walls are in Spanish.

I do not know when they may shut my phone and utilities off. I do not know when the landlord comes over asking for rent then puts my stuff on the street. (with no place to put it I will just have to walk away with what I can carry on my back.) this is true. I cannot afford to put it in storage.

I do not have friends that have a garage I can stick it in. So all my life's work and my possessions will be on the street in the snow.

You think it so easy to get a job today you have no clue you see too much TV propaganda aka Bush spin doctors. (14 % out here) The truth of this is real I am not making this up.

My cell phone is shut down now can't afford it. Randi and Kelli do not know my problems I am dealing with. You said I should stop drinking I have not been drank in 9 months. I have many reasons for drinking but can't afford it.

I sold my $1500.00 Nikon camera last week for $200 bucks for food and kid stuff so the kids could have some kind of New Year how do you like that. I had no Christmas this year the $50 you gave me help me pay last months rent.

I have been living hand to mouth with Randi for 6 months. No chance to save for a rainy day they have mostly been rainy.

So if get a job tomorrow how can I pay rent and stuff. I know helping me could dip into your vacation this year. Gosh I have had three vacations in 20 years. Any help I would be gratefull.
