Porky-pines!

I too am sorry to hear of your current circumstances. After 15 years, I lost a 120K a year job that I busted my arse for, over "COVID". I don't mind saying, I was good at my job, better in fact than most I encountered in my field, and feel pretty strongly that I earned that level of financial comfort. No big deal, se' la. Wife got an OK job, we lived off my package, my EI and then my life savings. It all ran out and then things were a little sticky. I developed pancreatic and liver cancer. Wife can't afford my meds and the government has told me F-OFF as I'm not entitled to benefits since I haven't worked for 2 years. Point being, life is hard and no one survives it. Something is going to get you. Funny that the topic of dead porkies can bring you to an understanding of what's important no? I still have a roof, got my (mostly adult) kids healthy, I've been able to see them through what I think are the important bits in life, and they both have HUGELY promising futures. Mission accomplished as far as I'm concerned
Yup gotta be optimistic.

I lost my 60k job and became disabled at a young age, decade struggling with gall stones, then cancer at 38, then arthritis. While yes I struggle, someone is always worse. When I had cancer I adopted the live for the day as anyday can be your last, also try not be an ass.

I've given up fighting for my guns and fighting for better health care. As what good are guns when you're dead.
