re: #733 Salamantis

I’m not a rosy-cheeked girl with cancer or a hole in her heart; I am a middle aged man who needs part of his colon cut out.

Somehow I don’t think that I’d be having Salvation-Army-at-Christmas success.

If you’re really in great need, you should put up a webpage and make your case. Take donations by PayPal. You will get them if you try. Don’t wait for the government to save you. Even if Obama rams his plan through, you probably won’t get what you need from it.

And you can find work that doesn’t require physical activity. How about a call center? You could take orders for products and services, or do technical support, sitting in a chair in front of a computer all day. It’s not great work, but you can do it and you’ll get a steady paycheck. My local cable company even gives medical coverage to their employees.

If you really need something, you can make it happen. All by yourself. Some people can’t, and that’s where charity comes in.
