My Uncle Lou just passed away. We've been expecting this - he has not been well, been on oxygen for years and has been in the hospital for months now, and he has finally passed. I worked with him...

I made it to my appointment on time today, even though I had to shovel through 100 yards of driveway knee deep and open the end of the driveway at the plow zone waist deep, but there was nobody...

Last night I watched "Home Alone 2-lost in New York", and when the movie ended I burst into tears.  Not the average response to that movie.  The stress of looking for a job made me think back upon...

For some reason I don't understand, most of the state has broken from the decades of tradition for the winter vacation, which was from Christmas eve to the day after new years, to give the kids a 2...

It's usually my habit to freak out when things break down. I panic first, then ruminate about the problem until it either solves itself, or I break down and fix the thing (or have it...

I've given alot of thought to my life, as I usually do, and I have never been happy where I was; well, not for long, anyway. I was unhappy in my parents' house when I was a child, and always...

I wish that I had realized that there was medication that could help me with anxiety to this degree decades ago. I'm calmer now that I have ever been, and at only 1/2 of the full dose. I wish that I...

I went to the doctor today, and we discussed my "condition", which she feels is primarily an anxiety disorder than a depressive disorder. I concur, because I've been giving it a great deal of thought...

I have been worse off than this during my life - when I was married. I am no longer married, not since 1992, and was able to take care of myself and my own until now. Now, I am struggling.  But it...

I found out today that they not only kicked me off Tanf, but food stamps as well. Without both, I will be bankrupt by Spring, unless I can find a full time, higher paying job in the immediate...

I was on TANF and in the Aspire program, but I got hired at the Dollar Tree, and they dropped me. There was a clothing allowance that I never got to get, and I have very little in the way of clothes...
