I would like to think that he did that because he could not find a job and he was pretty sure his awful teeth were a reason he had trouble getting one. But, he is also a moocher.<br />I would love more money. I would love a job. But, neither one will happen soon because of needing another car first.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15051904118383493849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3414435776825765041.post-6552487873522780022014-10-27T11:14:46.992-05:002014-10-27T11:14:46.992-05:00Yeah kind of sounds like begging eh?

I love that there is a website that allows people to donate to a worthy cause, especially when there are tragic circumstances but it is just fucking ridiculous how people are taking advantage of it. I'd really love for people to pay off my house but nope, guess I'll suck it up and work my ass off and forgo that new vehicle so I can the pay the mortgage. Ugh, people.Tamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18410011779090085342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3414435776825765041.post-9642587589375683212014-10-25T21:06:04.795-05:002014-10-25T21:06:04.795-05:00I'm totally with you.

I think when this whole gofundme movement started I saw it and thought, "Wow. What an awesome way for people to get help for a really shitty situation." I saw people who couldn't afford surgery for their child or their house burned down right before christmas and they just wanted to be able to get their kids something, etc. Then in the last few months I have seen nothing but these "gofundme bc I don't want to work," sites and it's making me so mad. Thanks for saying what everyone else is thinking because honestly it's bullshit and I hope that no one donates to that crap because there are plenty of other good causes out there that could use the funds!

I know you and Matt work REALLY hard to afford what you have, and sometimes they means sacrificing other things. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01336536705954918369noreply@blogger.com
