Posted by Wauchula Woman on 3/2/2007, 7:22 pm, in reply to "I do believe that....." I don't mind being poor, my furniture is all worn out, the carpet in my bedroom is practically rotting and the house needs major repairs that I have no money to pay for. Being poor doesn't bother me, but having no insurance would bother me a lot. I'm not going hungry, I've got a roof over my head and my vehicle is paid for, I can live with crappy furniture, bad carpet and ugly outdated wallpaper and wearing Walmart clothes and shoes. I've been very wealthy with my first husband and I wasn't nearly as happy as I am now that I'm poor. I just have to remind myself that Jesus didn't have nothing but the clothes on his back and some sandals and he seemed to manage just fine, so I will too. On a different subject, I was just thinking tonight how terrible it is, that by the time we get wiser and understand things better, it's nearly time to die. It's just totally screwed up how I wasted the first 40 years of my life. Finally, I have things halfway figured out and now I'm too old to really live and enjoy the things I've learned. I wonder why it is that it happens that way? I don't know. It wouldn't bother me if the rapture happened as I type. I think my life is about as "together" as it's ever going to get. I'm about ready for a new body anyway, all these aches and pains. I've got so many injuries from all those horseback riding falls....and all of them have turned arthritic. There's times when I get out of my husband's way when we are going to our Sunday School class upstairs. He's nearly 60 and he practically bounds up the stairs and here I am barely able to climb them. My right hip, knee and ankle are just about slap worn out. It was getting bucked off that horse that last time, about 6 years ago that did me in. I had to go to the hospital after that one. So I'm ready for that new heavenly body. Maybe there will be horses in heaven and I can ride to my heart's content without ever getting bucked off. I'm adding your board to my bookmarks. I'm just not online that much nowadays. I either read or occasionally watch TV. I like American Idol. I've never liked "variety" type shows, but some reason I've gotten hooked on that silly show. I even call in and vote! Who'da thunk it? Well, take Care,

alone on the job scarcity thing. There ain't no jobs around here either, I have to drive an hour, sometimes an hour & 15 minutes one way and then an hour back home again, just to get to the job I'm at now. If I didn't have to have health insurance, I could afford to work at Walmart or the grocery store or something like that that is close, but health insurance is so high here in Florida, that I have to have a decent job just to keep myself covered on that.
Love,
Wauchula Woman
