About BudsCarrie

I am married to a disabled Marine.  He is 44 years old and has limb-girdle muscular dystophy.  Thankfully his disease has been progressing slowly and he was able to work as a self-employed carpet installer up until Sept 07.  We immediately applied to have his disability rating increased, but learned today that it will be another 3-6months.  We have 2 children at home, a daughter 17 (diabetic), and a son 18.  I lost my job making pretty good money in May 06 due to the company being sold.  I was unable to find another job so I am currently a full time student at the local community college which is paid for through Job Training.

 We have been unable to pay a power bill all winter and are quickly sinking having lost the income of 2 jobs in 2 years.  We were going through a bankruptcy when my husband became disabled and our attorney filed for a moretorium on our behalf which has so far saved our home.  We qualify for $230/month food stamps, but that lasts about 2 and a half weeks.

Our families have helped as much as they can, but they can't afford to help for another 3-6 months.

I have been searching for organizations, but most of them are focused on the Iraq veterans, or active duty personnel.   If anyone knows of any groups that can offer assistance, we would appreciate it!

I wish I did , but I can only help through resources . Please , if you want only money , I am not the one to ask. In fact , you probably will not get money here unless someone contacts you , not the other way around. I sincerely hope that EVERYONE can find the help that they need , one way or another ! soulight

I'm looking for charities that help pay medical bills for folks who are uninsured or who otherwise can't pay medical bills. We have several friends who either had emergency surgery, need to have surgery, or have a long term illness. If you are aware of folks who can help, please let me know.

Comment: My daughter, Leah, is 6 months...

Note: This aidpage was started as a comment on "FREE HELP FOR MEDICAL BILLS ,DISEASE TREATMENT , and other medical conditions"

My daughter, Leah, is 6 months pregnant as of Aug. 9, 2007. She recently found out that her husband's employer's insurance company will not cover pregnancy. Her husband, Ryan stuck, served five years in the army (1 yr. 8 mos. in Iraq). Since he is not in active duty and was not injured in Iraq, the Veteran's Administration won't do anything for them. We would greatly appreciate any financial aid to help pay for the mounting medical bills. She may be turned away from the hospital when it is time for her to give birth if she can't pay. I hope I am wrong but I just don't know. Sincerely, Kathy Wotowiec

Hondamatic , It is interesting that you deleted the apology , but I still hope the best for you. We all need a heads up sometimes to reveal that we are going in a wrong path in life. You need to re-think your path and how you portray youself to other people. If you continue to speak things that aren't true , you will continue to have a miserable life. soulight

Concerning PTR Sites
By Lady ChristiePost message to Lady Christie

 
    
Posted on Jul 19, 2007

You have probably noticed one PTR site on here. Now I am not putting this site down, it has a reputation of paying members and from what I have read is a good site to be a part of. This is not what I want to talk about.

First off I was naïve and joined quite a few PTR’s in the past; low $5 payouts, high $35 payouts, sign up bonuses and payouts weekly I thought wow I could join this many and make this much a week all by reading my emails. Let me tell you it’s not that easy, yes I did make an income, it was enough to cover my internet and it was hard work. You see what these programs don’t tell you and what the people who want you to sign up under them don’t tell you is that the only way to make money doing these is to have referrals. Now getting referrals isn’t an easy task. You have to be active anywhere that gives you an opportunity to promote your link, sometimes you join other ptr programs just to promote your links and it goes on and on. It is hard work until you build a nice downline.

I would spend 12 hours on the computer a day just reading emails, then time and time again I was fighting spyware and viruses I would pick up from these programs. To me it wasn’t worth the hassle.

My advice to you if you join any paid to read email programs know what you are getting into. There are many legit programs who will pay you just realize the work that has to be put into getting paid.

 

1. Hondamatic posted on Jul 19, 2007
ONE WORD TO YOU " YOU ARE A NASTY WITCH". THIS WAS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS AND DO NOT EVER EMAIL ME AGAIN. EVERYTHING YOU HAVE SAID ABOUT ME IS TOTALLY NOT TRUE. WHEN PEOPLE LOOK AT MY SITE, THEY CAN READ THAT THEY HAVE TO GET PEOPLE TO JOIN. I ALSO TELL THEM THAT IN ORDER TO MAKE SOME DECENT MONEY, YOU NEED TO GET PEOPLE TO JOIN. I HAVE BEEN DOING THE WORK-AT-HOME JOB FOR 3 WEEKS AND HAVE GOTTEN OVER 65 PEOPLE TO JOIN. IT CERTAINLY DID NOT TAKE ME 12 HOURS A DAY TO DO THIS EITHER. I HAVE GOTTEN PAID AND AM ALREADY MAKING SOME GOOD MONEY. I DO NOT LIE TO PEOPLE. I TELL THEM AS IT IS. JUST WHO ARE YOU TO PUT THIS DOWN. IF YOU SPENT 12 HOURS A DAY, YOU MUST BE PRETTY DUMB!!!! IT TAKES ME MAYBE AN HOUR A DAY(IF THAT). GET REAL LADY. ITS PEOPLE JUST LIKE YOU THAT LIKE TO STIR UP THE CRAP. THANK YOU FOR THAT.
2. Hondamatic posted on Jul 19, 2007
YOU ARE A FRIGGIN JOKE AND ARE RIGHT OUT TO LUNCH LADY. EVERYTHING YOU HAVE SAID IS A BUNCH OF CRAP!!!! IF ANYONE SAT AROUND AND DID NOTHING AT THEIR JOB, ARE THEY GOING TO GET PAID???? OF COURSE NOT. YOU DO HAVE TO DO A BIT OF WORK. AND I NEVER SAID THAT YOU DID NOT. BUT TO WORK 12 HOURS A DAY???? YOU ARE NUTS. YOU MUST BE SLOW OR CAN'T WORK(OR RETARDED). AS FOR READING THE EMAILS FOR 12 HOURS A DAY- GET A GRIP. I SPEND 5 MINUTES A DAY READING THESE EMAILS. OH BUT REMEMBER FOLKS, SHE HAD MORE THAN ONE BUSINESS GOING AT ONCE. I AM ONLY ASKING YOU TO JOIN THIS HERE, AND IT ONLY TAKES ME 5 MINUTES A DAY. BUT NOT TO THE EXTENT THAT YOU HAVE MENTIONED. I AM ENJOYING THIS TREMENDOUSLY. SO FOR ALL YOU STAY-AT-HOME MOMS, RETIRED FOLKS, STUDENTS AND EVERYONE ELSE THAT NEEDS A FEW EXTRA $, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CLICK ON MY LINK AND START MAKING SOME EXTRA $. UNLIKE lady christie WHOSE JOB EXPERIENCE NETTED HER $0, AS SHE HAD TO WORK 12 HOURS A DAY FOR A FEW PENNIES HERE AND THERE, TO PAY JUST HER INTERNET. AH TOO BAD FOR YOU. I CAN PROMISE TO YOU ALL THAT THIS HERE WHAT lady christie HAS SAID IS NOT TRUE AT ALL. HERE IS MY LINK. YOU ALL WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.
Let’s get one thing straight. No, this isn’t a $500 a week deal, its not some get rich quick scheme. It’s probably more like $50 a week. Read emails that are sent to you (don’t actually need to read them, just look at them for 30 seconds) and get paid. Receive up to 10 emails a day. Get a $10 sign up bonus! There is absolutely NO start up fees. 100% free. Not going to make you insanely rich, but its a little extra pocket cash. 18+ Must have internet. No sending emails, no calling, just clicking a link in your email. Remember you can increase your earnings greatly by getting people to join up. The more people to join up, the more money you will make!! Start now!
For more info, please click on my link. Thanks!      

(I deleted the link-SL - you can find Hondamatics pages through the Browse feature. Hondmatic has told how this kind of 'job' goes , but I object to her slandering my friend , Lady Christie. Christie is more than able to handle this herself ,as she is a grown woman, but I was just trying to be a friend. -soulight)

For one thing it is my business to make sure people here are well informed, I am here to help people and therefore I will inform people of things they may or may not understand.

Well if everything I said is untrue then I guess me saying your program pays is untrue and that it is a good site to be a member of is untrue.

Not once did I put you down so don't put me down. I only want people here to understand what they may not understand. If they are better informed then they can make wise decisions.

And one last thing you may not lie to people but you mislead them to me there is no difference.


 4. soulight posted on Jul 19, 2007
I just want to say that I agree with Lady Christie in this "conversation".

In no way did she put Hondamatic down , or even mention their name , for that matter.

There are many people who are misinformed about pyramid schemes and other ways of making money on the net, and Lady Christie was trying to help these people by telling them her experience.

The way you responded , Hondamatic , was very defensive . I am not sure what the PM was all about , but if you want people to go for the hit4pay idea , the way you lashed out to Lady Christie on this site isn't going to edure people to you so that they sign up.

This is , of course , my own opinion.
Everyone is an adult here ,and more than able to make their own opinion.

I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT lady christie ELMAILED ME NUMEROUS TIMES. THEN SHE GOES ON ABOUT HOW SHE SPENDS 12 HOURS READING EMAILS(NOT TRUE-I SPEND 5 MINUTES OR SO). SHE ALSO SAID THAT PEOPLE ARE NOT INFORMED. I TOTALLY INFORM EVERYONE WHO IS WANTING TO JOIN. IT STATES IT IN THE LETTER. lady christie TALKED TO ME ABOUT SOME THINGS AND THEN SHE GOES AND WRITES ALL THIS CRAP. I HAVE BEEN DOING THIS(ALSO TO MAKE SOME EXTRA MONEY), AND LIKE I SAID, I TELL EVERYONE UP FRONT THAT IT MAY TAKE SOME TIME TO MAKE SOME GOOD MONEY. lady christie EMAILED ME AND TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD TELL PEOPLE THAT THEY WON'T INSTANTLY MAKE MONEY. I AGREED AND THEN SHE WROTE THIS. WHY??? IN HER LETTER, SHE GOES ON ABOUT HOW SHE TRIED NUMEROUS WORK AT HOME JOBS AND DID NOT MAKE MUCH, JUST ENOUGH TO PAY HER INTERNET. SOMETIMES, ITS BETTER TO MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS. I AM NOT HURTING ANYONE AND PEOPLE ARE TOTALLY INFORMED ABOUT THIS PART-TIME JOB.

Whatever. I was not yealling at you at all. I was just stating that she emailed me numerous times and we talked about some things and then she writes a bunch of garbage about what I am doing. Thats all. Sorry, but I was not yelling at you at all.   

 


 195. soulight posted on Jul 19, 2007
Thank you for the apology .

I do hope that all goes well for you , no matter what you do.

We all have a right to have an opinion. This makes it good ,and sometimes not so good to have free speech in America !

I want to clarify for everyone I did not email Hondamatic numerous times (Isent him one message and then replied to his message) also just so everyone knows I was not rude to this person. If this person wouldn't have deleted my messages everyone would see that I had only mentioned the only way to make money with programs such as the one this person was promoting was to build a downline. At this time it was not mentioned in their ad that you needed a downline to make $50 a week. Nothing is clearly stated on the frontpage of the website this person is promoting you have to go to another page which explains about referral bonuses.

Like I said before I am not putting down the program, it is a very nice program and I have only heard good things about this program. I just don't think it should be advertised in a misleading way.

Hondamatic,

 Excuse me, but I just saw your reply to Lady Christie.

 First of all, let me say this: I, too, have done "hits for pay" and the majority of MY time was spent reading emails and since I did not troll boards scrounging up members, I never received a dime.

My initial reaction to your post was disgust, but I felt it was harmless compared to most solicitations we receive here. BUT NOW, you have not only insulted, but were incredibly rude to someone who has spent more time helping people than you could ever imagine and you deny it to soulight.

Your post is nothing more than a solicitation to increase your downline so YOU can receive more money. The more people you get signing up, the more $ YOU make - isn't that right? However, you failed to mention THAT in your post didn't you?

Do everyone here a favor, apologize to LADY CHRISTIE, then take your solicitation elsewhere. No one here needs your kind of "help".

AMEN , WHO~KNEW !

An apology is in order .
soulight  

 

 

I do believe that you , Hondamatic , need to apologize . You mislead Aidpagers and me , and you were nasty to Lady Christie. You need to apologize to her.

 

Hondamatic posted an apology to me (soulight) for 'yelling ' at me . It was on my home page. After confronting Hondamatic , it was removed ,so I wrote one more thing that you will find below :

If you read this ,and wonder about different jobs or money making projects on the net , try this page for information . I AM NOT saying that Hondamatics' venture is a scam . You can make money by doing it . It may be a pyramid scheme though , since you make money by referral , not by the 'clicks' .   -soulight

Comment: HELP! I am a single mother...

Note: This aidpage was started as a comment on "FREE HELP FOR MEDICAL BILLS ,DISEASE TREATMENT , and other medical conditions"

HELP! I am a single mother who is newly diagnosed with a rare type of Muscular Dystrophy and my husband abandoned me and my son and took our 3 year old daughter to Texas and he is now living there unemployed and hasnt paid any bills for 3 months. We are about to become homeless because we have no income because I lost my job due to my illness. We are waiting for SSI/Disability and it can take up to 6 months. I am also a veteran of the Army and served active duty for 3 years. Waiting to see if I am eligible for a pension. I have done everything I can think of. My son is a professional gymnast and now has to give up his career because of our financial ruin. I have prayed and prayed for months. I dont know what else to do

I am at my wits end. I have worked hard for everything my whole life and I can tell you a million hardship stories. I can tell you about being abused, and used and making dinner out of nothing in the cupboard and having a spinal injury with screws and plates in my spine and being pushed down stairs by the man I loved for many years, but I can't beat this illness. I have been sick for a year now and lost my job because of muscle failure and loss of control, I have been told a name for this disease I have, it's called Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis. It is a type of Muscular Dystrophy. It has ruined my life and my husband of 12 years left me and took our 3 year daughter to Texas and abandoned myself and our 11 year old son, who is a professional gymnast.He is at the end of his career now. It shattered our dreams. I was at the end of BA work too. I have no more dreams. I am drowning in poverty. I have lost my 3 year old daughter, and my husband. My son lost his father and his sister.

HI Soulight. I took the scripture straight out of the Blue letter bible NKJV because that is what I read and it is the most accurate next to the KJV. Sorry if I offended you. Yes I have been on payment plans and I am out of options. I have tried desperately to be a good stewart of the money my husband left me when he went away. He was able to save up some money for me but you know it only lasts so long. I think it lasted way longer than it should of thanks to God. I do babysit for money but for the life of me can not get any more kids in here. Lord knows I have advertised. God Bless sweet one Krissicas

Just a suggestion for all those who are wondering why no one is helping them out : If more of us on Aidpage HELPED EACH OTHER with the tons of knowledge and resource i know we could share if we put the effort out , THEN , Aidpage would be much more dynamic , and truly be PEOPLE HELPING PEOPLE. AND , there would be many more of us who recieved help in a timely manner. IF YOU KNOW and answer to someones need , or if you want to offer support , monetary or words of advice , or prayers , JUMP IN , and help your fellow Aidmate ! It feels good to help others ,and maybe you will make a new friend ,and by networking with each other , maybe we will find some answers. soulight
