djmatt--i hear you, i understand how you feel, because I have the same feelings you describe quite often. Long story, can't go into it all here, no energy to do so anyway. Wish I had something to help you with. I would do so if I could. Is there anything at all I can do right now? My thoughts and prayers are with you. . . don't give up. . .hang on.. .

I need help! I am busy trying to earn an advanced degree with no help from loans or grants. Hubby has depression problems and is unable to work. One child is still at home. I'm exhausted after caring for everyone and trying to keep it all going. I need cash to pay bills and put food on the table. In return, I will do any kind of writing for you. I can do it all, from poetry to academic papers to speeches and occasional pieces. You will like what you read! Thanks to all; I will answer any and all messages.

Old Hippie got the Blues! I am one of those "got it, spend it" people. This past year, I had it, so I spent it--on others! Long list: Prisoners, children, animals, New Orleans, new U.S. citizen, friends, family. . .you name it! Now I'm wondering where my karma went wrong! I'm broke and desperate for cash to pay bills. I do not have "money skills" but I am goodhearted! Can you help me? I am the "pay it forward" type; now I need a response from the universe!
