188. Then, Since YOU Didn't Like It...
why are you asking ME to support it?

Oh, I get it...it's okay if everyone ELSE makes sacrifices...just not you!

Bet your ass I'm bitter!

No, not a bigot. I totally refute that charge. But I will plead guilty to bitterness and selfishness.

I am currently doing what little I can to better myself, and it is not easy.

I'm currently disabled, with chronic sever depression, as a result of the lack of work. I work part-time as a mystery shopper, making less than 200 a month, and get a minimal stipend from the County...in all, I live on about $350 a month. That and I do have Medicaid right now, and am seeing a therapist, and am on antidepressants...trying to get my life back.

To that end, I am enrolled in an online course trying to learn Medical Transcription, as I believe this will be an explosive growth area in the job market, as the baby boomers age, and begin to need more medical care.

My point is...I already have it hard enough, my recovery is already hard enough, and I just plain don't want anything to make it harder, okay? Now does that make me a bad person?
