Yay! We finally got some good news! First of all, finances have been a bear. So much so that we were wondering how to pay our rent. But things are starting to look up. We had a heck of an electric bill (well huge for us) this month; $180. But we called the electric company and there's this thing you can sign up for that lets you pay the average of your total electric usage; which for us is half that amount. We got on it. Then, we found a new car insurance company that charges about a third of what our current one does. My dad has been needing a new mask for his c-pap machine (for sleep apnea) but was worried he'd have to miss a day of work to go down to the VA to get one. He doesn't. They're going to deliver a new mask here. Also, the company he works as a matinence man for is being sold and we were worried he'd be let go, but they're keeping him on and even commented on how clean he kept the building. May not seem like much, but these peices of good news were a big relief for my family. Whew!

I like this thread! Glad to hear all of your good news! Can't wait to see those of you that I'll see at DCon. Had some good news myself this week, things were a bit financially snug recently, but yesterday afternoon one of my favourite clients came in and dropped a HUGE costume order on me, and he's paying up front, BEFORE DCon! Woo Hoo, look out dealers room, and I only have to eat PBnJ in the room if I want to!

Agreed!!
My good news: Daddy drove home from the doctor today. It has been almost 6 months since he fell off the stepladder and broke his arm, and he has been waiting for this day.
In six months he's been in the hospital three times -- twice from the break (one surgery) and the bleeding ulcer in between.
We are so thankful that the worst part is over!!!!!! Thank you everyone for your prayers.
Blessings, Kryy
