It's probably your best bet. chocolab February 20 2009, 19:28:01 UTC
Hi. Excuse my fingers, they are frozen from being outside. If you sold your m power, I think that wil bring in at least a grand and not sure how much you have on your card but that will help. I've ben looking for a braille display, maybe i'll consider buying it from you. The other option is to go advertise on the high tech swap shop of the braille forum and maybe the nfb has a magazine that you can sell with too. I don't know of anything else that would help. I wish you luck.

Have you tried contacting your credit card and asking for a hardship plan? This will lower the payments and either educe or completely drop the interest for at least six months. Throw the "B" word around, (bankruptcy), even if you don't plan on doing it. When my husband was unemployed for eight months, getting a hardship plan saved our financial lives.
I would really hate to se you sell your mPower, though I completely understand why you are thinking of it.

Thank you. I've calmed down a bit since this entry. Am hunting for things I don't need or use anymore to sell.

I have put feelers out for this. No offers yet though I'd love to do it. I am good with kids...babies are my favorite.
