37. "If you can afford an internet connection, you damn sure can afford
a few bucks".....

My internet connection is $109.00/month, how much is yours?

I was badly injured in an accident 3 years ago. The insurance company cut my benefits off last November when I was placed at MMI (max. medical improvement), but they took until a month ago to get my disability rating, with me still unable to work.

I'm raising 2 teenagers... alone... through all of this. We get by, with the help of my family.

But for the good news! I settled with the insurance company last week. I'm waiting on a check right now, but won't have it until next week some time. When I do get my check, I'll be more than happy to donate, but it won't be because of chiding from you or anyone else, it'll be because I've planned on it all along.

Nothing personal against you, I can understand what you're saying, with a membership of over 90,000 people, and not even ONE PERCENT of them have made a donation, it could get your spirits down. However, please remember, we don't know the financial circumstances of every person on this site. We are, afterall, living in Bush's stranglehold of failed domestic and foreign policies.
