RE: banned from muppets again....
You're warped, and desperate to criticize. People commonly run fundraisers for injured pets. Some get help, some don't, None sell their cars, homes, turn off all the utilities, and eat ramen under a bridge. Most people recognize that a fundraiser for an expense like this is about a temporary and extreme need that will not continue. Otherwise, it would be irresponsible to keep the pet at all.
As a matter of fact, we are turning off the TV service next week and just keeping the internet. Shit's too expensive, bro.
I'm selling everything I own of any value, that I can reasonably live without (in other words, not my car because public transit in CT is a bad joke) on Craig's List.
People understand that I'm not in poverty, but instead just have a temporary need in order to save a pet. Some who think it's not a cause worthy of donating to (because seriously, there are more important causes), simply don't donate. That's an appropriate response. What's not an appropriate response is libeling somebody across the internet because you have an unhealthy fixation with them.
Sorry to hear about your uncle. Have you considered that you may share some of those genetics? You might want to think about your thought process. I'm not being snarky. Of the major contributors to Molly so far, I am very confident nobody is donating out of dementia or other cognitive issues. The rest have donated no more than $20 each and so they're probably not broken by it. If I was presented with a large sum by someone I knew shouldn't be giving it to me, I'd never take it. Your image of me is not a correct one. I don't know what else to say about that.
As for no insurance and working for wages, yeah, I've done that. I don't know why you think I'm a rich dude now, though. I'm salaried but I'm also the office monkey, and have been for ten years. I'm living in a busted up house in a busted up neighborhood and when it rains, the water comes in.
I had no insurance from age 17 until age 22 and I had two crippling diseases. I've got permanent damage as a result because of many years of untreated Crohn's. I made 4 bucks and some change an hour at my 2 jobs and I'd show up to work bleeding internally because otherwise I didn't get paid. If I was having an asthma attack, though, I had to stay home because I'd freak out the customers, and then I'd lose money. Sometimes an attack would last for 2 or 3 days and then I'd have to go to the emergency room and figure out how to make payments on another $1500 medical bill with no way to negotiate. Because I worked two jobs, I couldn't get any kind of state aid or insurance.
But that's enough of this already. You're just angry. I'm an outlet for your anger, not the source of it, and that's plainly obvious to me. I wish it was obvious to you. I'm honestly not trolling when I say I think you need help for this shit, man. I hope you figure this stuff out because you sound miserable, and nobody should live with so much rage for so long.
