My brother was sick many years. He was often short of breath, in pain, unable to work for yrs. He was SUCH a comic, even when he had chest pains!
He lived in a rural area & the nearest hospital was the next city over. He was poor & treated like he was stupid, hypochondriac, & even med-seeking when he begged & pleaded with doctor after doctor, (each of whom had a different diagnosis) to give him something stronger for pain, that what he had didn't work for the chest & abdominal pain.
For yrs, he became weaker, was in so much pain he started using marijuana for pain. He told me once "it dulls the nerve endings and I can't take the pain anymore." Unfortunately, medical marijuana wasn't legal in his state & he was given 6 months. He received better health care in the prison hospital than from all the doctors he'd seen. He died a stormy Sunday morning last July-alone-because his wife refused to tell us where he was, & refused to go herself when the prison called her as he was dying. Only at autopsy did we learn he had mesothelioma, a rare always fatal cancer of the lining of the lungs, caused by inhaling asbestos. Its 20-40 yrs after exposure that mesothelioma is diagnosed & most victims die the 1st yr after diagnosis. I spoke to the coroner who said, "His lungs were just a mess (from mesothelioma)."
His wife, who did court-ordered residential (hardcore user)drug treatment, used to taunt him & threaten him. As he grew weaker his older kids did also. He called me a couple times crying because of how they treated him. She refused to let him come home to be buried at the family plot, & had him buried in that state in a tiny rural cemetery next to a cornfield.
I heard her say"Oh good I can pay my fine now!" when someone called to donate money to help with burial expenses! A benefit was held shortly after his death to pay for a headstone. SHE STOLE NEARLY $2,000 that was raised & he still has no headstone! I learned this from a relative & confirmed it. Even in death, she still mistreats him. He inhaled asbestos working to support her!
Our parents are elderly & I can't pay for it by myself. I consulted with a reputable company& it will cost app $850 for a cheap one, includes everything. Please vote!

Hey-everyone needs a digital camera! Ok, maybe not. I Want a digital camera! I've had a simply horrible nightmarish time trying to find a job, & things are really getting pretty desperate for me. I'm no spring chicken & have found age discrimination to be very alive and well (The secretary at one office I was called to go to for an interview summoned me to the director's office & when I walked in, the guy said "OH, I thought you'd be alot younger than you are!). I've collected my own & bought to sell, antiques and fleatiques for a few years. I was going to flea markets & local antique events but my car recently died its final death. Now I have no way to get around to sell all my antiques & fleatiques and junk - er, I mean fine merchandise, yeah that's it! I could do well on eBay, as I have been a member since 2001 and have a 100% rating. But I have no digital camera to take pictures to upload so that I can sell my items. Can't very well list the stuff without pics. To sell on eBay would help me ALOT until agencies/businesses/companies look at my education and experience and I can get a real job! So greed-DEFINITELY!! THANKS MUCH FOR YOUR VOTES!!

My brother was sick for many years. He often had severe chest pain, coughed alot, and lost jobs even though he tried to work, because of being sick. Yet he was SUCH a comic even when sick and in pain.
He went to doctor after doctor, (each of whom gave him a different diagnosis!)begging for something stronger for pain because what he had wasn't working. He was poor, lived in a very rural area and was treated like he was stupid, hypochondriac and even med-seeking.
I cautioned him a couple years ago when he said he was smoking marijuana for pain. He said "it dulls the nerve endings;I can't take the pain anymore!" He became weaker & his wife & older kids began taunting, even threatening him. He called me twice crying due to the way they treated him.
Unfortunately, medical marijuana wasn't legal in his state & he got 6 months. He got better care in the prison hospital than from ALL the doctors he saw!
We never saw him alive again. His wife refused to tell us where he was, and she refused to go when the prison hospital summoned her as he was dying. He died alone a stormy Sunday morning last July.
It was at autopsy I learned he had mesothelioma, a rare cancer of the lining of the lungs, caused by inhaling asbestos, 20-40 yrs before its diagnosed. Victims usually die in the 1st yr after diagnosis.
He died from inhaling asbestos, working to support his family. I spoke to the coroner who said,"His lungs were just a mess (from mesothelioma)!"
I heard her say, "Oh good! Now I can pay my fine!" when someone called to donate money towards his funeral. The fine was from her hard-core drug use. He took care of their autistic child while she did time in drug rehab.
A benefit was held to pay for a headstone. I recently learned from a relative and confirmed, no headstone was ever purchased. She stole over $2,000 that was raised, and my brother lays in an unmarked grave in a tiny, rural cemetery, next to a cornfield in that state because she refused to let him come home to be buried at the family plot.
I've talked to a reputable monument company & it will cost app. $850 for a decent, cheap headstone, includes everything. Our parents are elderly & I just can't afford it all myself. Please vote, and thanks very much!

Hey, I sure want this camera for eBay! I've had absolutely mortifying experiences trying to find a job. Age discrimination is alive and well! I went to one interview and when the receptionist summoned me to the directors' office, he exclaimed,"OH! I thought you'd be alot younger than you are!" It seems if you're not 22 and a sz 2, you're treated differently! I have 2 college degrees and tons of experience!
I have collected/sold antiques and fleatiques for a few yrs and I'm really passionate about it. I was selling my junk...er, uh, I mean, fine merchandise, at flea markets, antique events etc...but my car recently died its final death, so I have no way to take my things to flea markets and antique events.
If I had a digital camera, I could sell a huge amount of this stuff on eBay. I have been an eBay member since 2001 and have a 100% rating. So I know I would do very well. This would help me tremendously while still job hunting. This is a cheap, yet decent camera, under $100.
Although this is a need, its more of a greed, because a camera is not a necessity.
