Wife & I celebrated 20 year Anniversary yesterday-tad bittersweet can't help it sometimes.....
We are both oddballs and loners before we met. In most eyes it is a minor miracle we found each other and I totally agree.
We had a nice day trip to Long Beach Washington and a sit down Mexican dinner last week as we knew the financial hammer was coming down as of yesterday. I'm disabled & my wife works. 2 girls & the youngest turned 18 last month.
This meant I lost almost 1/3 of my SS benefits as the girls were no longer eligible-but they are still very much alive & eating. We may qualify for food stamps I've already applied. And one daughter just started college & has a part time job. The other has held jobs but suffers from near debilitating depression. She's now getting treatment & is doing very well but not getting replies on her job applications.
So we are struggling-but we'll get by.
That night-a serious clatter sounded off-I thought the blender was coming apart. Nobody using the blender it was our 3 YO washing machine-toast.
Thank goodness we had just enough in savings to solve it but there goes our safety margin at the worst time.
Just bitch & moan and thanks if you read this far-
GE washer that failed-after 3 years 1 month-crap!
