Yeah, it's American football--don't know much about Rugby rules except the scrum for possession of the ball! Football here usually involves big, hairy men, too! 😁

It's also a football term--getting the ball in the end zone is scoring a touchdown. Which would be a great thing for all of us! 😀

Hang on Betty Boop, you helped pick me up last week when I was feeling that way--we just have to have hope!

Thanks everyone--I'll try to be more positive next time I post. Guess I shouldn't listen to the national news before I jump on this website to assimilate the news I read here! 😊

😊

Sorry for my earlier post everyone, it's just been a bad day--I'm trying to stay positive, today was just harder than usual. I just want this to be over like everyone else.

No, nothing matters anymore--I just not sure they will ever revalue this money. Sixteen years in and I'm dog-tired of waiting for anything positive to happen with this--as a matter of fact, today I just don't see the positive in anything. We invested as a cushion for the future even over our 401K's. Well, thanks to the pandemic, I was laid off for 16 months, my job re-did how they do raises so the young ones get first chance at them, even though us older ones work circles around them so I am 3 raises behind now, our 401K's are almost non-existent because we had to find a way to live, and my mortgage and all of my credit card minimum's have doubled since Joe/Barack did such a bang up job ruining the country with the interest rates that I now can't pay all of my bills that I had no trouble paying before--and I am working! I am just about as low as I can go, some days I just don't think I can go on, and I have been trying to think positive. And the really sad thing is, I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels that way right now. Sorry, I'm just fed up--not a good day.

I know how you feel--try to hang in there. Had a lot of medical and financial problems, too, but I try to hold on to anything positive that I can. Been in my job over 35 years as a respected manager, and now we have a new regime that I think is trying to force me out--I'm too old for them now I guess. I just hope this money comes before that can happen...

Me, too!!! And let it be soon!!!

I'm like you, BettyBoop--I need it to be closer to a dollar and I will cut off all communication with the outside world! 😀

They weren't all together, thank goodness! Within the last 15 years or so--just feels that way!😺 Blessings for you and your family as well! 🙏

Happy New Year to all, whether or not this pops in the next day or so or not--and believe me, I truly hope it does. Been on this ride for 15+ years, am ready to be off of it! Bama Girl is correct, good health is probably THE most important thing you can have--had back surgery, 2 carpal tunnel surgeries, had one hip replacement and will need the other one done in the next couple of years, and both knees need replaced as well, so I will need the money! Plus I, too, have plans to try to do some good for others with the money as well. So I pray we will see this come to fruition in the next few days--what a blessing it would be for the New Year! 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Thoughts and prayers for you and your family BettyBoop!

Just like here in the US now--crazy high food prices and interest rates eating away the chance to save any money!!!

And of course, depending on what part of this country you're from, the side dishes vary, too. I'm from the Midwest originally, and we do green bean casserole, sweet potato casserole, broccoli casserole, mashed potatoes, stuffing (or dressing), and I made pumpkin cheesecake for dessert this year. I live in a southern state now, and here they do cornbread dressing instead of bread dressing, squash casserole, and a lot of things with okra, which I am not fond of! 😁
