Title: Go figure
Post by jimbo on May 31^st, 2003, 10:10am

I have a dear sweet friend that has been given 3 months to live. :'( She has breast cancer and the doctors have stopped the chemo. because the cancer is just too aggresive. Her husband whom I have known and been friends with for over 25 years is at wits end dealing with this. My wife and I try to help him in any way that we can. Cooking dinners for them, shopping and most of all just listening when he needs someone to talk to. This couple has 4 daughters ages 14-12-10 and 8. She is 32 years old. He works full time and always has, to support his family. Yesterday, he went to the social security office and was told that his daughters are not entitled to anything because his wife doesn't have enough working hours. He is not looking for a handout, but maybe a little bit of help.

The part that pisses me off the most is that I have a cousin that is married to a heroin addict, and this low-life good for nothing waste of sperm gets over $900 dollars a month in SSI payments and the MF'r hasn't worked a day in his sorry-ass life! >:(What the fuck is wrong with this picture?

Work when you can (pay taxes) and raise your kids and you aren't entitled to fucking nickel. Or you can be a fucking drug addict/alcoholic and the goverment will throw money at you.

Maybe I should follow this low-life to the bank every month and when he walks out after cashing his drug check, I should knock this Mother Fucker over the head, take the money and give it to people that really need and deserve it!

Sorry for venting, but this is just one af many hardships that has happened to this family in the last two years.
Please send prayers and vibes out to them.

Seeya,

Jimbo

What a sad and terrible story. I am so sorry for your friends and their situation. Life can seem so cruel at times, its just not right. :'(
My thoughts and prayers are with them.
Following that guy to the bank is not such a bad idea to me either. >:(
Hang in there and just continue being the friend to them that you already are.
Take care,
Suzy

sorry to hear about your friend. I am a hospice nurse and if she isint on hospice services she should get a referral asap. insurance covers the service and a social worker with the company will help with the financial problems and hopefully find some money for them.. social workers are amazing that way. Its good to know they have a support system and will really need you.

CB,

Hang on a second. You're perfectly entitled to be upset about the way our government allows some groups to take advantage of us (the taxpayers). However, I don't think it's fair to blame an entire ethnic group (Mexicans) or another for any reason. It's simply wrong.

If I was living in a hellish poverty-stricken environment, and just North of me there was a country where they would hand me money as long as I could somehow sneak across the border, you can bet your ass I would be one of those fucking mexicans.

Sorry but that comment just hit a nerve. I do understand the hostility, I just think it needs to be redirected to your politicians.

Politics:

poli= many

tics = blood suckers

Politians = members of the political body.

The mind image sort of gives me the creeps.

Jimbo, good vibes and prayers going out to your friends. You friend is lucky to have you and the support you are offering. The idea of hospice is a good one. It's a very good organization. Also, try the American Cancer Society for possibly some support groups and financial help. We have the 4 Diamonds in this area, and they do a lot to help offset some of the additional costs with cancer. Their are many good organizations out their that might lend a helping hand.

Jimbo,

That's such a tragic situation. Our laws are pretty fucked up, especially the 'entiltlement' laws. They seem to be purposely designed to provide handouts to the least deserving. Our tax code is really no better, and I can testify to that personally.

Knowing someone is going to pass on can be a blessing and a curse. It's painful and sad to watch them go, but you do get the chance to say and do anything you want before it happens. Try to imagine losing your friend suddenly, and you'll appreciate every day she is still alive just a bit more.

Vent all you want brother. Vibes on the way.

BTW, my mother used to be the northern california executive director of Hospice, and let me tell you, that's one amazing organization. They can provide assistance and help beyond anything you'd imagine. Contact them.

To all the members of this board i will not post my views anymore it seems to upset a lot of the members.I will only post to help people on this board.
Jimbo i'am sorry my post got out of hand

CB,

Post away... anything you want. I was just trying to point out it's not really fair to lump all mexicans into a blood sucking government fed group. I live in central calif and trust me, we have a ton of Mexicans. And certainly there are those who live off of my tax money who don't deserve it. But I don't blame a whole race for it, and I know the only reason they CAN do it is because the people who ARE here can't pull their head out of their ass long enough to vote to make things better.

Yes, I was a little offended by the comments... so what? I expressed an opinion... that's how we do things here. I don't hold it against you... you're still a brother. This is not 'the politically correct cluster headache board' and I hope it doesn't become that way.

Jimbo,

I'm really sorry to hear about your friend and my thoughts & prayers go out to them. Our Sr. Pastor's wife just recently finished up her treatments with very aggressive breast cancer and the docs say it was caught just in the nick of time (a couple more weeks would have been much different) Anyway, my advice to you is to continue to be the friend to that couple. Be there for them, listen, help where you can, let them vent to you, just plain be supportive. It sounds like you are doing an excellent job of that already. Your kindness and friendship is greatly needed in times like this. Also thanks for venting here on the board ... it's great to be able to release them here rather than back to your friends. Keep up the good work and if there's anything that we can do, just holler.

Take care
BruceD

Sorry about your friend. Makes ya wonder.

As for the other; nothing new, been going on for thousands of years. We've all felt the same at one time or another. Perfectly understandable.

Jimbo,

Your friends are in our prayers. It is an extremely difficult decision to discontinue chemo and to recognize that death is imminent, esp. when young children are involved. Your help is priceless! I speak as one who has been there. Remember we are behind you.

To me, this brings the pain of my CH into much better perspective. I watched my Grandmother fight bone cancer for three agonizing years before she died. The pain your friend is suffering is hopeless. At least ours won't kill us. Please share our prayers with her and her family.

Jerry

Hey Jimbo,

sending good vibes your way. it's okay to rant and vent, as the world is never fair to the ones who deserve it.
