23. Not so good.
Tue Sep 23, 2025, 07:42 PM
Sep 23

But, it is personal stuff, and no one cares anyway. Hell, my husband just went outside to talk to his sister. There is only one reason why someone would go away from the room to talk to someone on the phone. That is because of the topic of the conversation.

I don't have any illusions. I don't have long without proper healthcare and I cannot afford to get proper healthcare. No one wants to hear anything I have to say about anything and no one cares if I do offer real suggestions to anything, because they refuse to even consider them as 'real suggestions'. I have been sick since yesterday and I am about to check and see if it is COVID, because I think it is. I cannot do anything about it, as I am already thousands in debt to my doctors with no end in sight and no ability to do anything about that number. Since our entire nation is only about money, and since I have none, there is no hope for me or others in my position.

I went to the local store the other day to buy some of my favorite mayo. There are only a few that carry it and I was so pleased to find out that the local grocery chain started carrying it.

It was $9.00. A freaking container of mayonnaise... NINE DOLLARS.

We have no hope to survive here if this is how things are going (and they are).

(Sorry, but you asked. )
