Okay so here's our story:

I haven't been on the boards alot at all lately because of things that are going on around here. My DH just got unjustly fired from his job at Frito-Lay on the 15th. He fought to get his job back and nothing happened. We are just getting over being very sick. We both had a bad stomach bug the same night and we just got to feeling better on Monday. Needless to say that's the second time I've been sick since we've been back from Florida. (we came home on October 30th) I have never been so sick in my life. My DHs cousins friend got everyone (about 10 people) in our house sick. I was going to kill her. But, anyways, now that we're better we are so poor!! We have $93 in our checking account right now. His old work won't send him his checks that they owe him yet. Why? I don't know, they won't say. My DH also has a 401k account that he gets and we were going to use that to pay bills, school loans, car payment and go Christmas shopping. We were told that he can't access his money until December 15th. Why? It's the rules. That's all they keep saying. We need money here, don't they understand this? My DH did get a new job he starts on Tuesday, but he doesn't get paid until December 15th. HAHA...figures. My job is just for December so who know when I will get paid. We are very stressed out and have no money and will have no Christmas and all I do is cry when I think about this. I know there's nothing more we can do, but I just wish the stupid 401k company would actually explain why the rules state he can't touch his money for 30 days. So hopefully he will get his Frito owed paychecks soon and we can pay some bills. My parents have been nice enough to help us out a little. But, it's still not paying the bills. We also need another car due to the fact that both of us will be working starting next month. This is the only good thing: (well not really good, but it happened at a good time for us) my fathers uncle died (not a good thing) he had cancer of something (I think liver). The good thing is: he let everything to my Grandfather. Which is good because my dad does everything for my grandfather and takes care of all of his assests. My dad is getting us his uncles car that he had. My grandfather said it was ok that we take it, so after the Will is settled we get the car. It's a '93 with 20,000 miles on it. So we just have to wait to get the car now. That's the only good thing. Like I said, I just hope everything is going to get better soon. I know it really can't get much worse than it already is. Can it? I hope not. Thank you so much for listening to my whine. Wish us a money tree or some luck to get his money.

Make sure that your DH files for unemployment for the time he is out of work! Unless Frito-Lay had REALLY good reason to terminate him (and it sounds like they do NOT) they will most likely not argue his filing. This will help you over the hump a little. Sending

that everything works out!!
