The Stupidsheet: Words To Live by

http://stupidsheet.blogspot.com/2010/08/words-to-live-by.html

Sunday, August 29, 2010. Words To Live by. Something I thought I had definitely learned was that the Internet is very efficient at exposing the mistakes of others to us. I always knew that you can't unsee something and as well you can't unsay words once you've said them. And you can't unwrite something once the person you've hurt has seen it. See introductory paragraph)Well I wasn't as smart as I thought. I hurt a friend with my words in my private diary. This shouldn't have happened because 1. I...I wil...

The Stupidsheet: Coming Clean, Step By Step, Summer 2007

http://stupidsheet.blogspot.com/2010/06/coming-clean-step-by-step-summer-2007.html

Wednesday, June 30, 2010. Coming Clean, Step By Step, Summer 2007. So the first thing I set out to do was to get another certification to my name. The examination was called the NYSE Series 14 Exam, which qualifies someone to be a Compliance Officer at a Securities firm. It's not an exam many people take, so there aren't a lot of study materials available. I had my severance pay, but I know that was finite. I had three years' salary saved in addition to that. I thought I had prepared well. Jimmy sounds l...

The Stupidsheet: Life on the Firing Line

http://stupidsheet.blogspot.com/2011/07/life-on-firing-line.html

Saturday, July 09, 2011. Life on the Firing Line. When the money troubles start, there is no peace. No quiet time, no "day off" from the difficulties. When you start being contacted by debt-collectors, it never stops. The phone rings from 8 AM to 9 PM. Every day. No Sunday's or holidays taken by these things. They call and call. And they send mail. Tons of mail. Until the bills came. Then I was not covered. That's about $100,000 I have to eat. I hope you can find some reprieve, and soon. I totally unders...

The Stupidsheet: 05/01/2012 - 06/01/2012

http://stupidsheet.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html

Thursday, May 10, 2012. Let's keep this one short and sweet. My feelings about bankruptcy were explained earlier. However. They offered no compromise or allowances. They wanted their money. Period. They sued and won. (who could afford a lawyer? This is what the evil Saldutti wanted to take. I now know why people hate lawyers. Links to this post. Tuesday, May 08, 2012. Bankruptcy was a most undesirable option to me. I thought my word and my honor would be enough. None of the companies I owe money ...Needl...

The Stupidsheet: Step Two

http://stupidsheet.blogspot.com/2012/05/step-two.html

Tuesday, May 08, 2012. Years ago, I was a Business Law student in a class that studied US Bankruptcy laws. I remember thinking that this was something to be avoided, that this was the "easy way out.". I went back to square one. I laughed when I got an offer from TheLadders to "review" my resume some months later. They wanted more money to revamp the resume they'd written for me in the first place. I worked well enough to get hired into a permanent position. But Sears only paid $6 per hour. (not a...I got...

The Stupidsheet: Coming Clean: September 2007

http://stupidsheet.blogspot.com/2010/07/coming-clean-september-2007.html

Monday, July 05, 2010. Coming Clean: September 2007. Pop came to the house, and I moved some of my stuff in too. This wasn't going to be easy, but I felt it to be a necessary choice. In the meantime, I'd begun my job search in earnest. I registered at such sites as Monster.com and TheLadders.com. I thought my credentials meant that it would simply be a matter of time before I was gainfully employed. Bucko (a.k.a., Ken). Sometimes the best choices are not the easiest. I remember those days when you were b...

The Stupidsheet: Step One

http://stupidsheet.blogspot.com/2012/05/step-one.html

Saturday, May 05, 2012. Well, it's been quite a while since I posted to this blog. And with good reason! I battled it out for a long time. I was struggling in the Financial Services industry for a few years. I picked a great time to try and market life insurance, IRA's, etc. People in this Country have often been face with the decision: life insurance vs. food. Guess what wins? And let's face it: people will always need to eat, right? Company is, right? More to come. Soon. Love to hear your thoughts.

The Stupidsheet: Coming Clean: Summer 2007, Pop, etc.

http://stupidsheet.blogspot.com/2010/07/coming-clean-summer-2007-pop-etc.html

Sunday, July 04, 2010. Coming Clean: Summer 2007, Pop, etc. He came to our home in September. The doctors had given him maybe 2 months. During this time, I met with the disability insurance people to discuss possible claim options. I absolutely did not want to go this route. My thinking was, if I could work, I should work. After I signed off on declining this option, I had a few occasions where I thought it might have been a bad choice. Long time no read! Hope youre having a good 4th of July! Coming Clea...

The Stupidsheet: News

http://stupidsheet.blogspot.com/2011/09/news.html

Tuesday, September 20, 2011. Well, life is slowly but surely starting to turn around. It got real dark around these parts, but the sun is coming up and I'm starting my comeback. While the struggles continue, they don't seem so insurmountable. I got a lot of consideration and assistance from some very understanding companies, American Water, NJ Natural Gas and Verizon for example. They've been very patient with my situation and worked well with us. We're still hoping to work things out with our bank regar...
