I've seen a few that died off the field to an on field injury.

I'll throw my hat in the ring too.

To all, I am still alive and kicking. MS kicked my butt and cost me a job that I liked and was at for eight years. I would still be wrenching if this disease never took hold. Alas. This is my fate.
I still want to work and be of use to people but my body won't allow it anymore. I can't even look after myself without help from the state. They provide limited help. Not near enough in my case. Thus far, disability is of zero help. I was denied twice by them. This should be cut and dry but every MS case is different and has different degrees of mobility. Some can work while others wish they could but can't. My Lawyer has some tricks up their sleeve when I hit fifty in a couple months.
This is nothing you haven't heard before. I also know things are not well out there. Many people are feeling the pinch and can not help. That is understandable. They have good intentions. Most people would seem to ignore this plea for help and do nothing. I have two people that help me once a month but all of this can not be saddled on a couple people. They seem to be my only financial help the last year. I would like to increase the help by taking the load off of just two of them. Spreading it out more.
I've had help from the MS Society and the Salvation Army but those were a one time donation. I've tried thirty churches in my area but they never replied or gave one place that will not do anything for me if they reply at all. I'm tired of constantly scraping the bottom trying to get any kind of help but getting none. I'm worse off now versus two years ago but feel positive about it. Like it won't get me down.
What I'm trying to do is placate my landlord with something. I haven't paid rent in almost two years and don't want to take advantage of them any more than I have already. I haven't had any money of my own in three years. I don't go anywhere because gas costs money.
My only financial help has been Gofundme. I have been getting a lot of good information thru several places on Facebook. That has been a Godsend.
Spread the word.
Thanks for helping.

Still not boring. It was just kicked up a notch even.

I thought that was your cousin.

I've read this a few times. Glad it's a 'Pick from the Past'.

It wasn't him. It was me. You need to watch the quiet ones.

Wow!

As if to prove his point Freddy reached in his pocket and pulled out a large silver dollar. He placed it on his knuckles and rolled it back and forth across the backs of his fingers.
Val Kilmer did this in a few of his movies he is in.

I love that, Des, and it's perfect fodder for a short story. How My Parner Was Thwarted, and How He Overcame! I want to read that! It would be full of pathos, humor and drama, with a happy ending to boot!

Your up for writing a short I take it?
