You certainly have had your share of ups and downs Snowth, and it seems like you were going down far more often than the upwards direction. 
I certainly can relate to you in some ways. But that is a topic for a retrospection of my own that I may write someday.
Getting back on topic now, I sense that I have obviously been a very significant source of support for you with my strong Christian faith as we've corresponded by PM. More so than even I realized myself. You did give me little bits and pieces when looking for advice, but now I see the full picture clearly in your retrospection.
Thank you for sharing this testimony Snowthers. I'm delighted to have been used by God to make a good difference in how you coped with your life's troubles.

In the summer of 2007, things were getting just a little better for me; 
So anyway, our stay at Days Inn was short, and pretty soon we had to find another hotel to stay in, since we STILL hadn't found a new home yet (it's funny when we need it, nothing's for sale or for rent, but then when we're not looking, EVERYTHING's available)! It was during this time that I realized something: us getting kicked out of our house was TRULY a blessing-in-disguise... I didn't realize until then that I never really truly DID like it there... those last few months, I had succeeded in tricking myself into tolerating it, but deep down, I just never did like it there no matter how optimistic I was. So anyway, back to the story, we managed to seek shelter in a 
FINALLY by November, we thought we finally found a new place, the only thing stopping us from getting in? My demented nana! I swear, my nana is DEMENTED! I know, my mom knows it, my dad knows it, my aunt knows it, my uncle knows it, my mom's bestfriend knows it, my SISTER knows it, EVERYBODY knows it! My nana is Freddie from The Funny Farm and th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-THAT'S ALL FOLKS! Yeah, we needed a loan from nana, but she kept holding out, which kept preventing us from getting the house, until FINALLY nana gave in and gave us a loan (though she acted like she was selling her soul or something... So we had the loan, we had the money to get into the house, and by Thanksgiving, we were in, and what a great house it was! FINALLY, I had a room with room to move around again, and did I mention we had SHAG carpets? Hoo-wee, if we didn't leave MY couch behind (well, it wasn't really my couch, but it was gonna be), it would've looked GREAT on the carpet since it was a retro couch, lol! So's the 'spective!
Yes, indeed, by November of 2007, I was a happy camper again, we were finally in a new home that was completely awesome (dad didn't like it too much), the weather was getting cold, I was, in the words of Stimpy, Happy-happy-joy-joy-joy! Of course, it wouldn't have been possible without you guys.
At this time, this installment of the retrospective will be slightly different... this time, I doing something similar to my 10,000th Post Retrospective, and share my favorite memories of the time period listed in the title of this post!
That last thread there reflects that in February of 2008, we learned that our new landlady was a crackpot as well, and had signed an eviction notice for us (because we were ONLY TWO WEEKS LATE WITH OUR rent). We managed to fight back though, and that bought us time until April 2008 when we finally had to leave again.
