Apr 2012

I wish someone would put major buckages in MY paypal account! I have been un- or under-employed for almost four years. I have lost my home, and must live with a friend (who has panic attacks and scary, inordinate rages). I have two big holes in my teeth that need fillings or root canals. I have chronic back pain, and should have had an MRI, but who has health insurance these days?! I can't afford to put gas in my car. (Excuse me, while I climb down off my pity pot...)

Jeez, I cannot believe ANYONE would give money to this man...
