When I was younger, so much younger than today...

Help, I need somebody,
Help, not just anybody,
Help, you know I need someone, help.

When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody's help in any way.
But now these days are gone, I'm not so self assured,
Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors.

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me.

And now my life has changed in oh so many ways,
My independence seems to vanish in the haze.
But every now and then I feel so insecure,
I know that I just need you like I've never done before.

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me.

When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody's help in any way.
But now these daya are gone, I'm not so self assured,
Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors.

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me, help me, help me, oh.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so today I'm borrowing Badger's NaPoBloMo theme and using lyrics.

I have set a time clock and I will live by it. Right now I have 13 minutes to write this post. I may come back in the afternoon and edit it, but if I want a walk, and I do! I do! I have to get ready for work, drive to work, and THEN it will be light enough for me to take a walk.

So I've made a decision: to buy a two year car. Like a 96 or 98 with high mileage, something I won't have to borrow money to buy. Because I have credit card debt that I also need to address, and going into more debt doesn't make sense.

GAH. This is not what my father and I have been discussing. I think he will understand, and I do have someone here in Pgh who can look at a car and make sure it's not a lemon.

But I'm scared. I love the phrase from this song,

When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody's help in any way.
But now these days are gone, I'm not so self assured,
Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors.

Wow. I went off on a tangent... (just deleted a whole paragraph, something I've been thinking about.) I just gave myself 5 more minutes and I realize I can take a walk here and then go to work, it's light enough out there to walk now.

And if this song is about drugs, keep it to yourself.

Well, there goes the time clock again. My aim is not to have a great post every day, just to have one. So there you go. And there go I. Off to WALK.

A friend told me about a woman she knew that bought "throw away" cars. Cars that were older and inexpensive and she drove them until it no longer paid to drive them. She got rid of her debt (that came from an ex-husband, at least you are only dealing with your own debt!)

I don't know about your credit card debt, but I called discovercard and told them that they needed to lower my interest rate. I have been a good customer (I always pay on time, and I've been with them for over 15 years) and said that I wanted a better deal or I would transfer my balance to another card. They have plenty of incentives for new customers, but what about the ones that have been around. So I knocked some points of the card that way and I pay at least the same amount or more each month on the card so I can lower the balance.

Uggh! Good Luck
