Ladies, why don't you go back a bit further in our archives here and find out how BRIANNA "got where she is today". It might make you wonder, as it does me, why she isn't more empathetic. And after that, ask yourselves why certain people here give Bri her regular doses of approval, support, and wisecracks while all they have for Mari is personal attacks and disparagement. If there is one, here is where you will see the underbelly of The Cellar. That's my opinion, anyway. We can still have opinions, can't we?

I suspect that if Mari had suffered what she'd suffered, but was fortunate enough to have some sort of independant wealth and not be reliant on government assistance, the compassion levels would be much higher.

As it happens, I am one of those people who was so fortunate. Because I had a rather sizable trust fund from my aunt, I survived. In addition to most of my inheritance being gone now, my treatment has cost the insurance companies and SS about a half million dollars over the last 12 years (and it should have been half that but medical care has risen totally beyond all reason). Last year, even with my checks for total disability, my income was minus $25,000. So needless to say, I do not have a problem listening to Mari's saga. And by watching the dynamics of this board whenever Mari's story comes up, I have learned a lot about some of the rest of you too. Now there are 3 more of you who I really like
