      And the hits just keep comin'. So I went to get my smog check done today. My car failed :^( my Service Engine light is on and there are apparently 3 different things that need to be replaced. So, I  figure no big deal, I can apply for the state program that helps with repairs. So I ask about it and I am told that due to the budget crisis the Governor has issued an executive order placing the program on hold indefinitely. You must be kidding me. The guy at the smog check place said that he can't really give a quote since their shop doesn't do repairs, but I'm looking at roughly 300 just for parts ..so that doesn't include labor! I am just sick over all of this. I woke up feeling like I shouldn't get out of bed today and it seems I was right.

        I have days just as yours.  I am on disability too.  But moving to Arizona from Minnesota has helped me physically and emotionally.  Have you ever heard of the modestneeds.org?  They just opened their second office in CA, their first office is in NY.  They were able to help me with my rent last May.  Check them out.  Follow all their rules and you will be surprised that there are people out there who will contribute to your needs.  Let me know who it goes.

        reply to libragirl---Our governor putting an indefinite hold on the program you were counting on is only the tip of the iceberg my friend. It won't be long before most of the grants that we are able to refer our people to will either be gone or so reduced that it won't be worth the  trouble to apply for them.  The only way we are ever get our country back is to make that first step and vote and then we start using our computers and telephones. We will be heard, loud and clear. I just want each and every one of us to get a little angry and stay that way and don't just sit back and take this crap our government is cramming down our throats.  sorry about the rant but your car experience hit on a very sore button.  sheila
