Needing Your Help

I stand before you, hat in hand, asking for your help yet again. As you can see to your left, I have added the Chip Widget. Please know that I am asking for the bare minimum…not to get our car fixed or anything like that. This is just for the rent, keep the power and local phone service on so I have access to the internet, and pay for Sandi’s meds. Most of the sixteen drugs she is on are generic and that helps, but between her drugs, my drugs, the medications the boys are on because they both are special needs, it all adds up.At this point, we have no idea when we will be doing the mandatory phone interview for Food Stamps and Medicaid. Based on past experience it won't be soon.

I know some folks hate Amazon and will not buy from them in favor of independent bookstores. I’m not asking you to change or do things differently. But, please, if, you are going to buy from Amazon anyway, please consider going through me as I get a referral fee of a few pennies on each purchase. It takes about three months after the end of the month for it to appear in my account and does not cost you a thing.

Sandi has some cardiac tests scheduled for next week and that should tell us a lot regarding how stable everything is. While she is still having issues, she is back sewing and making things again. This has been strongly encouraged by her doctors and myself as it can help her recovery. She has been making things for years and it is nice to see her able to do things again as there were serious questions whether or not she could ever do it again. Sandi has some of her stuff at http://www.ioffer.com/users/sanditipple she has holiday as well as everyday items like quilts, baby blankets, stuffed animals, etc.

Last fall our son, Karl, set up a couple of deals for selling things under his online moniker of THUNDERCATSNYY. Karl is still doing this. One is at Amazon where he has had decent success moving video games, movies, my old books¸ and other items. His store on Amazon is at: www.amazon.com/shops/thundercatsnyy and changes almost daily because he adds things to replace stuff he has sold. He also set up a deal on iOffer to help move some of his Mom’s stuff and other items such as comic books he can’t sell/list at Amazon via www.thundercatsnyy.ioffer.com

By the way, my good friend and occasional reviewer here, Barry Ergang has quite a few neat books over at his deal located at http://barryergangbooksforsale.yolasite.com/ He sells a few and adds a few a couple of times a week so even if you looked before and did not find anything that strikes your fancy, surf over and take a look.

 
Barry is also now up with some of his older published stuff available on Smashwords. You can search under his name or go directly to his stuff by clicking http://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/cassidy20

 So, there you have it. A shameless plug for folks you know and their families.

On behalf of Barry and my own family, I thank you.
