I'm waiting to hear if I qualify for food stamps. And if you've never seen a $210,000 hospital bill, lucky you (Medicare cut that way down, but still...) We are once again at the end of the ropes.
I figure five grand gets us clear. Pays all the outstanding medical and insurances bills and keeps us alive. So, I'm making you an offer and making an announcement.
I'm writing my first novel. And I'm selling characters. Drop $100 and I name a character after you. Drop a grand, and you get the horrible death of your choice. Dump that five grand that's been burning a hole in your pocket, and you get the best death I can think of. A death that will make George R.R. Martin sit up and exclaim "why didn't I think of that." A death that takes five paragraphs to describe and ends with other characters trying to decide if that chunk is a foot or maybe some ribs.
No idea if this will ever get published, but still.. gift us money so I may stay alive and murder y'all (fictionally, of course.)
kshandra:Good news:
Better news: The policy is retroactive to 10/01.
Bad news: We now have to come up with $524 for them by 11/01.
And I'm getting daily phone calls about our outstanding cable and internet bill - which they've already reduced for me once, but is still $200.
And we're starting to get phone calls about the imaging bills from Doug's hospital stay in August.
And the rent is due in a week.
I am fresh out of cope...and out of shame.
The PayPal address is purplekoosh at gmail. I know money is shit for everyone right now, so I certainly don't expect anything, but even just a dollar will help. And if you haven't got a ha'penny, boosting the signal is welcome.
