You Win Some, You Lose Some
~ By Sue ~

I have been in this house for four nights now
There is no way to heat this house
The first night I was cold all the way through
I think I should have moved further south

With this being a real old house
They said the floor furnace is broke
I am chilled to the bone each day
Maybe I will not croak

How can anyone rent a house with no heat
The ceilings are so high in this old place
Electric heaters do not warm it much
To warm it with so much more space

You win some, you lose some, I guess
For I am away from the other mess

(big hugggssssssss) I too can't understand how selfish people can be and give you housing without heating to keep you healthy and warm, sweet friend, it is cruel but know things will get better and you will find true joy! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sue, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

SmartChick,
I ejoyed this and related to it very much!
Yep, you win some and lose some. Stay warm sweet girl and yes, the electric blanket is a good idea and if all else fails you can always use the house as firewood (Just in case- this is of course is tongue and cheek - not to be taken seriously.)

Take care and hang in there!

Sue, yeah, you're at least out of that other place...and things  WILL  get better, I hope.


I hope they already are, as far as keeping warm, anyway.

Good luck, sweetie....
