Now there is bad blood between me and the older of the two sisters as she has said I am not welcome in her house anymore ever since I needed to borrow $500 my mom had left in her checking account. I needed the money to go check on a job in Arkansas and to help me get thru the year till my SS checks started in 5 months. Mom actually left more than that but that's another story. It seems my sister has always held it against me for the way I treated her and her sister when growing up. I supposedly did things I don't remember doing and the younger sister has never said anything about me treating her bad. Oh and I'm not all that welcome in the younger sisters house either as it seems her husband has a dislike for me for some reason.
Both are younger than me and I am the oldest living member of the family. The last year mom was alive she would tell me, at least once a week, I would get a little money when she died as she had a MetLife policy of some kind. Anyway, when it matured after mom died MetLife supposedly couldn't find me and gave the money to the older of the two sisters who talked her younger sister into taking a cruise ship vacation with this money she knew wasn't hers. She made the mistake of telling me about the policy and asked me if I wanted it and I said I did. That is when I found out I was the beneficiary and was suppose to get the money. It didn't say how much money the policy was worth and all I got out of my sisters was $1,000 each. Mom always said it was worth a lot more than that when I asked her how much money I would get when she died and she never gave an amount either, just that it was over $5,000. I was told once by an aunt that lived with my mom as a care taker that the policy was worth around $30,000. Who knows it could have been worth $3,000 and the younger sister has just wanted to give me what I had coming since she has cancer and doesn't want that on her mind if she dies.
Anyway, the good news is I have $754.15 coming if what my sister says is true. I guess I should tell her to just send me a check and then I don't have to worry about what might be going on if this is just a trick.
But I told her I would come up to her house whenever she wanted me to pick up the money.

I get by, but there are days I wonder why. 
They will do alright even if it doesn't go down like that.
, not at the moment anyway. I get by from SS paycheck to paycheck and the food stamps (EBT) card helps pay for enough food to eat from month to month. It even pays for the soda pop and snacks I get. Now if it would only cover the dog food I need for Spanky. 
Sure I bitch and cry about how much money I need on here, but in the long run with the 5 ozs of silver I hock each month I get by. If I didn't hock the silver that would mean I could put $75 a month away for that rainy day that seems to come more often than it should. 
Am I just waiting to die like it seems my mother did for all those years? ;IDunno:
