Gosh, I've been having endless computer woes. I sent a reply that I thought got posted, but it didn't.
Let's try again. My heartfelt thanks to those who understand. I really didn't mean to go on a "poor me" crying jag, but one of my symptoms is sudden bouts of anger that seem to come out of nowhere. They give me xanax for this, but sometimes I kick in before the xanax do.
Anyhow, what disturbs me is not just my own situation, but the plight of the poor and disabled in the US, in general. 12% below the poverty line - incredible for a wealthy country such as ours. Since I am forced to sit in a lot of clinics for the poor, food stamp offices, etc., I see and hear things that simply break my heart. I want so much to help, but I can't.
9th Engineer, if you are interested in a medical synopsis of my condition. pm me; but be aware that you'l be reading through a lot of medical stuff until your eyes glaze over.
Busterb, I eat a lot of smoked and frozen meat, too. A kindly rancher in the area drops off packs of meat for me every now and then.
To everyone: There really are people in this country who are poor thru no fault of their own. Instead of a 4 year old can of creamed corn, why not go down to the local food bank this month and donate fresh milk, butter, fresh bread, fresh fruit and vegetables, or 20 inexpensive stuffed animals for the little kids who come down with their parents.
May God bless each and everyone!
