I updated the June 2008 debt report to explain more about the numbers I’m using and the reasoning behind my decisions on what to keep and what to let go in the bankruptcy.
Please see the update at June 2008 Debt Report.

I’ve been out of touch for the past week. I was frantically getting ready for the meeting with my bankruptcy attorney (will cover in a separate post) and I started and finished jury duty today. I also began work on the huge packet of information my attorney gave me.
This was the strangest jury service I’ve ever experienced. We all spent an hour and a half in orientation and another hour waiting to be called. They divide everyone into 4 panels of about 50 people each. I was assigned to panel 2 this time. About an hour after they dismissed us from orientation and sent us to the River Center Branch of the Library to wait they called out panels 2, 3, and 4. They told panel 4 they had to be back Tuesday morning at 9 a.m. and called random names from panels 2 and 3 to fill in panel 4. Then they dismissed those of us left in panels 2 and 3 from serving the rest of the week.
I’m amazed. I’ve never been dismissed before Wednesday of the week I’ve served. I don’t know what they did with panel 1. I left as soon as they told us we could.
I’ll write a post later today on the meeting with my attorney.

Warning: this is a rant by the author who reserves the right to rant whenever she feels she needs to.
Can’t take it? Don’t read any further.
I’m sick and tired of all the tough love those of you out there who think I need it dish out. So if you have some tough love after this post, leave it in the comments and get it out of your system! Then:
Shut up. Shut up! SHUT UP!
I write this blog with honesty and integrity. It seems pretty easy for others to point their machine guns at me and shoot because I’m being honest about what I’m doing and how I’m doing it.
Let me make this clear:
- I HAVE A JOB
- I HAVE A BUSINESS
- I EARN MONEY
- I PAY ON MY DEBTS
- I OWE A HELL OF A LOT
- I’M DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT, A LOT OF SOMETHINGS
- SOMETIMES I HAVE A TOUGH MONTH
- I’M REALLY SCARED
- I’M NOT FILING FOR BANKRUPTCY UNLESS I HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE!
- I DON’T NEED YOU TO KICK ME WHEN I’M ALREADY DOWN!!!
If you really want to help, buy something I’m selling!
Got it?
Rant over. Thank you for listening.

I check my blog traffic numbers and sources at the end of each month and put them into a spreadsheet for tracking. Traffic to this blog is growing substantially month-over-month, and I’m very happy about that. I hope those who read it learn from my mistakes and my journey.
When I checked traffic sources at the end of January 2008, it came to my attention that the majority of traffic to this blog by a wide margin is from the We Need To Be Debt Free blog.
I wanted to write a post to say thank you for putting my blog into your blogroll and for putting my blog onto the blogosphere!
I’m about to add a set of links to other blogs on getting debt free on this blog. I am still building it after moving it from Blogger.com.
Thank you, Laura and JW,
Sherri

I’m sure you’ve noticed the small advertisement boxes at the bottom of each post on this blog and on my other blogs (if you read them). These are Google Adsense ads.
On the far right sidebar, there is a small column of ads by “$7 Adboxes”.
I just wanted to write a short post to let you know that I don’t control the content of any of these ad boxes, and I don’t necessarily endorse what is being sold through any of those two types of ads. You’re free to explore the products and services offered, but they are not endorsed by me or by this site.
When I recommend something, it will specifically say I recommend it, like the list of items from Amazon.com in the right-hand sidebar. I may also write a review of a product or service and recommend it. In that case, I do endorse it.
I just wanted to make it clear that anything I endorse will specifically be recommended or endorsed. Otherwise, it appears here as part of the general advertising I place on this site and is not necessarily recommended or endorsed by me.
If I don’t endorse them why do I put them here? Because these ads help me to earn extra money to pay off my debts. It’s purely business to earn an income.
