small print at the bottom of the home page, middle column, 2nd line the last time I looked. depending on the page layout, this element "Be On DIY" moves a little bit from week to week. then read the show descriptions. where you get to "I Hate My Contractor" you will find email address " Casting@boywonderproductions.gmail.com " which probably means Johnny D is the host.


sig: if this is a new economy, how come they still want my old-fashioned money?

Yeah, John D is hosting that. It's shooting in the N.J. and N.Y. areas.

... so you know it's done right.

they also claimed to be casting in the bedroom community states Wink of Connecticut and Pennsylvania. in the past DaSilvia has only travelled a half hour from the shop for his shows. probably has to be a really good mess to cross the state lines, I guess.

but you know, I begrudge nobody their family time. good luck with the show...

I was just visiting an old customer of mine.
We have an orginazation in my are called Bay Are Aging. They came in and insulater her whole house and her pipes for free.
She got some church group to come in and scrape and paint her whole house once again for free.
So help is out there, do not give up.

Thanks found it and emailed them and was surprised ( assume it was an auto reply)to get a reply but it neer said they wanted a video so now they say in order to consider me I have to send a video which I don't have so I guess I'm S.O.L. again.

Maybe less of a victim attitude would help. No one is just going to show up and fix it. You have to do some legwork. You are convinced there is no solution and won't take help offered! Ask around your neighborhood and see if anyone has a video camera. Or ask your relatives. Someone will have a camera. Or call the photography department at a community college.

Did you tell us where you live in all these posts?

Mosternaz is right. Plenty of suggestions have been made for you, but foreclosed and rejected almost immediately. There's a lot of leg work and invested time required to get assistance for free or at low cost. Expect to put in that time.

Some people have a "poor me" attitude and reject suggestions without even investigating them to reinforce their "poor me" attitude. Sometimes this attitude can lead to a "pity party".

Perhaps you might want to "step back" and reassess your situation and responses to ensure that you don't become victim to this malady.

Joe, do you know if this group was affiliated with any of the Area Agencies on Aging?

So what you are saying that I haven't done the leg work Believe me I have been to agent for the elderly and other resources and have been turned down. Sure I can go on state aid and have them take my house and property, get food stamps, drive a Cadillac just like everyone else on welfare but I won't do that and I'm too old to pop out a kid every year
