So last night I was listening to Youtube channel of a guy who talks about mystics [a nun in this one] and purgatory.

The Lord will take us down so all we actually want is Him, then He lifts us up in Graces.
So much so, we do not care about this life, but await to be with Him and have no desire but Him.

To literally let go of this life and desire Heaven.

To trust in Him.

It resonated with me.

Maybe we should do a donation project to get WA started for saving . If anyone is interested you can PM me. We used to do this stuff for fellow OBOB’ers back in our busier days.
I cannot feasible [atm] pay this back.
I appreciate your good heart.

I have to say @WarriorAngel I'm impressed how you manage your finances (really). Finding ways to save on costs where you can, I always admire that trait in people and wish I was better at it. I feel like I obsess over that sometimes.

Something tells me the insurance industry is about to fail or see major restructuring (which I fear will mean structuring towards a socialist bend). I mean, here in CA we had several providers pull out of the state altogether because they didn't want to cover the risk of wildfires for homeowners. One provider came back, but still costs are through the roof now. Some family friends of mine their annual cost of coverage for their home is almost $10k.

holy smokes.
That's a lot. That's $1250 a month for 8 months. WOW!
I heard that now in FL they are refusing hurricane zones.
Because of flying debris. Roofs, glass etc... broken up.

Well, for one thing flood is not insured. Pipes bursting are not insured.
Basic policies insure fire, lightening, internal explosion [gas stove etc]

Then the broad policies cover other things. The more you add, the better. Higher the cost.

The company sent me a letter months ago that all 'affordable' insurance will not be renewable in this state.
In fact they were ending affordable coverage. Especially in this state?
I'm curious why that is.

I miss Donna [she passed in Jan] she said she never met someone who could squeeze a nickel to make ends meet like I could.
Big family, poverty = you figure it out. I raised chickens [eggs] they were free range. I grew veggies and canned them. I shopped yard sales every weekend to get my kids clothes for all seasons.
I wasn't allowed to have money - it was my 'exes'. Well, whatever.

I left with just enough to get a foreclosed home. I wish him the best. I am civil with him.
I don't much want to carry junk with me or my heart.

Thanks for your suggestion I am good with money.

That's usually covered as separate structure on land.
But yeah, it is available. I suppose docking it causes damages.

Probably could get insurance if it left in a garage or some such??

These homeowners insurance issues start to give clarity to why folks in disaster zones like tornado alley just live in mobile homes, cheap and easy to replace with or without insurance when they're inevitably damaged or destroyed.

I think even with higher premiums, they desire homes on strong "silts" so to speak.
If you live in an area of possible flooding, then you have to have a home above water levels.
With 2 strong walls [silts] to avoid falling or flooding.

A lady whom I know in a nearby parish had a financial need come up all of a sudden, and she needed to find a new place to live. She knew a man in the local Knights of Columbus - he found both some money and some volunteer laborers from the Knights. They helped her move into a mobile home nearby, which needed some carpentry skills and at least for now solved the immediate problems.

Well my car popped.
Police called a tow who charged $200 and $100 an hour = $700 to get my car back.


I have to go cry now.
Thanks for the help of those who helped.

I am just so so so so so ... I have to go calm down.
I am sick of the horrible news.
Sick of it.

Yes patience... I know.
In all my life it has not been one terrible thing after the next.

Pray for me, ernestly.
Thank you
