I believe that there truly comes a time in everyone's life where a change must occur. Mine is now. I lived my adult life thinking that I must "keep up with the Jones" and that just isn't the case. That mentality has got me into more trouble than a little bit. So at the ripe old age of 29 (almost 30) I have decided that it is time for me to be the adult that I want to be. So no more excess until my past excesses are paid off. I have no one to blame but myself and I am tired of hating the person that I see in the mirror. So there is a good chance that I will be selling some of my Hinder stuff. It's not that I want to but it's an I have to in order to get ahead. I am also contemplating selling my beloved "Tormented" CD by Staind. I have realized that life is too short to spend it being in debt. So now life is going to change.

Thanks Anna. I really appreciate it. If I work hard and don't do anything excessive (other than PA which is already paid for), then I should be straight in about 8 months. Just in time to graduate and start my new life in NC!

Girl, I know what you mean. Things were good until the last two weeks of my life. I have been left with this hefty funeral bill, because Seth had no type of life insurance. I was laying in bed last night thinking about the big storage tote stashed in my attic full of Hinder stuff. I have come to the point where I have decided it's time to let it go. I feel bad enough that my dad is selling one of his cars to help put towards the bill. Seth was the love of my life and I'm willing to sell anything to pay his final expenses:(

That sux HTH. If there is anything I can do, let me know. Is the funeral home working with you?
It's hard to let go of the physical things sometimes but it is also therapeutic at the same time. You will always have the memories and physical things can be replaced. I have realized that life is too short and that holding onto the past isn't worth jeopardizing my future. So I have to let stuff go.

Well, they wanted half up front the day I made arrangements. They made an agreement with me to have half paid within 2 weeks. I have till next Monday to have the 1st half paid. I still have about $1000 to go. After that's paid, then I can just make payments on the rest. Thank you RR. If I ever need someone to vent to I will definetly let you hear it! lol. Maria and I always vent to each other. I will give her a break on the next one.
