As some folks here know, I am scrambling for money. In fact, I get depressed to the point that it scares me, because I dearly want to move to be with my son and Grandchildren in CA. And not only to be close to them, but also I have fibromyalgia which responds to warmth and is hell in the winter here in Maine.
So what do I do. I wonder how many can identify with this. I went onto the auction site of Bidz. I didn't think I would win anything. Mistake. Big mistake. I won around ten thousand dollars worth of jewelry for five hundred worth of bids. The bids were scattered. But how was I to know that an opal necklace that retails for over 800 dollars would sell for 46. I think this is like poking a snake, not knowing if it is alive or not, let alone poisonous.
My son and I play cribbage on pogo about once a week. When I told him what happened, he said, "Well Mom, get dressed up in some bling and find some fella to feed you." We did laugh. But I think Bidz is too easy. And I am someone who likes to spend money when I don't have any. When I do have money I am much more frugal about matters. And perhaps it is the feeling that I'll never make it to CA that makes me do things like that. If you noticed, I am a bit depressed of this. But then again, I was before I did it. And I certainly didn't expect my email to fill up with, YOU WON...several times....or is it...You are a winner!
Oh well, if you can identify, I'd love to hear it. If you want to buy some jewelry, I got some to sell.

Its all possible.
Maybe you can resell what you won, or even bail out on the bidz all together.
Keep your head high, if theres a will, theres a way.
I guess the only thing you can do is find a way to stop going to the site. If you can't control your spending there, then you need to not go. It's just like any other addiction, an alcoholic doesn't go for dinner in a bar just because it's too easy to slip up.
Good luck to you and quit undermining yourself.
I am frugal there. I talked to him last night about this. He never judges me. He has in the past, but his spiritual path has led to a place of peace. OH, and Connie O. I went through the process, and had no family to back me up. I know it is a bugger to get disability benefits. But I did, finally, this spring. I would be happy to
share with you my experiences with that. What I learned.
I will resell the jewelry. If no one has been to the site, you would understand more if you saw it. The process is so easy that it brings the kid out in me. Push a button. lol. What I said, I believe, is that I never thought I would win. There were a couple of things I did want and they went for 2 or 5 dollars. What I didn't expect, was that someone would not over bid me on the super expensive stuff. Oh well. Oh,, I remember what my son said, "Maybe somewhere in this situation is your way to get here." I like that. I hope that. lol.
