4. I have nothing and I am nothing.

Thanks for the suggestions, but doing anything 'volunteer' will just result in more bills that I cannot pay. We do not live within walking distance of anything and living up here means I only have about 90 days of actual walking ability anyway. And, I am not sitting in -20F weather for any length of time just to catch a bus. I confess that I am still not really over losing the two dogs we used to have. The second one passed about four years ago and I miss them both terribly. Unlike some, I cannot just change my feelings with a coin toss. I cannot be around cats as my hubby is allergic to them. I am dealing with issues pertaining to socialization, which is a completely laughable irony seeing as I used to be a performer. But, I cannot help that either. I wish someone could but, as a country, we are far more interested in materialization and greed than helping anyone. Oh, we have all sorts of 'aid' for show, but actual help is just too expensive for anyone not making six figures.
