Rant & Rave

You know, I'm tired of someone from the disabled whatever calling me every other week and telling me "back in spring" I told them I couldn't help them out then but would in 6 months. I also loved how the most recent fellow, "Clark", totally ignored my request to take me off of their calling list when I told him he was the third call for the same thing from the same organization. Oh, he was smooth the way he ignored that I said he was the third call. "Well that's what we do. We call you back if you weren't able to help us..." and then proceeds to tell me that the disabled are hard workers, some served in Afghanistan and Iraq, blah, blah, blah. When I told him there was no way I was able to buy anything because I have a $4,600 dental bill to pay off because of my little one, do you know what he said? "Well some of these guys have lost limbs!" I wish I had been quick enough to say, "And how is that my problem?" I am all for supporting and loving on those who have served or are serving in the military but I have financial obligations. That dear dentist who I owe all of that money to, doesn't normally take payments. She did me a favor. It is now my responsibility to honor my word which was, "I will put all the extra money I can toward that bill until it is payed." Sorry Clark. As much as I would like to support your cause, I have to support my family first. I am a giving person. Sometimes I give when I don't even have the money to give (because my debt isn't payed off) which is probably how I got on your phone list in the first place but the "buck stops here". No more are you and people like you going to make me feel guilty because I can't help everybody in the world. I do my part. My part just doesn't include you and your cause.

Want to bet that group calls me again in two weeks?
