Here's the deal. This is for everyone I work with, everyone I'm related to, and everyone I may come into contact with. Shut the HELL UP! I'm sick of it. How DARE you gripe about gas prices? How DARE you complain about needing new shoes? How DARE you wish you had more than a three day weekend? How DARE you complain about being tired.
How DARE I gripe about no dryer? How DARE I gripe about a dirty house? How DARE I whine about the dog needing a walk?
The pictures are from my drive in this morning. The sunrise was incredible this morning. I have a great job, all utilities, a safe family, and relaxation. I sit here, my fat ass surfing the 'net while listening to the TV. I am tempted to wish for more. Screw that.
There are people, not all that far away, with NOTHING. We have customers who lost it all. We have customers who can't get food. We have customers who we haven't heard from. They could be dead. How DARE we be so arrogant as to bitch about fuel prices? Yeah, I can't afford it either, but my family is healthy and safe. Thank you, God.
I didn't post captions for the pictures. They don't need captions. That is enough to be thankful for. I'm tired of crying. I don't know what to do, so I cry. I might be able to donate $20. What's $20? Nothing. I can't do anything.
Damn.

YOur 20 amd my 20 and others twenties add up. Prayers are somehting and each penny> it counts I gave at petsmart though we had nothing. THOUGH we had very little inf act Todd losing his job they even gyped him. HIs check wa on efourth what it is. AND the next one they may gype and then he was to wait to get his cehcke from his next job. Its a pain in the butt!!!!!!!!! YEs I gripe. I do but I know it could be worse. I could have no income for weeks no home no family. Mostly what IM saying is I can only give a bit. Bit if 100 of us say no we cant give 10 bucks look how much that is. It all adds up. So honey your 20 is more than you know when we group together and wehn we add it all up. Your doing what you can.
Amen, little sissy! I put in the $20 we had, too, and encouraged others to do what they could. It's not enough, will never be enough, but I put my heart where my money went. Praise God. blessings, Penny
THIS is why I love you! You are outraged by shallowness. We have different political beliefs, but that shit doesn't matter at times like this. I'm a mopey, whiny dude by nature -- yet I can straighten my crooked spine and pledge to do SOMETHING.
even pennies add up to help!!!!

That $20 will go a long way when added to my $20 and the next guys $20.... Oh, and if you haven't done it yet, giving blood costs nothing and I'm sure it is needed! I went to give on Tues night, but apparently I had a fever and they wouldn't take it HUH?? Yep, by the next morning I had the end all of summer colds. <sheesh>, but I'll be back there to give in 7 -10 days when they can safely take it. My theory is that every little bit counts, even if we don't feel like it will!
Great rant and you are absolutely right about "how dare we"! When will we ever learn that there are always people in the world who have it much worse than us.....folks with nothing. - Barbara
That's the best journal entry I've seen in the past week. Seriously.
