spam deleted. Thanks! 'here's to your health!' https://i.capitalone.com/GnFbORQI7 ***Yes they kill many huskies too .. Pits,huskies, shepherds, Chihuahuas ...Most killed dogs!! FACT. Needs to change. Why? Pits obvious. Many idiots own them and can't control them. Need training as do the rest. High activity level and owners too lazy. They get as are pretty etc. But soon learn are over their heads! Not willing to put in the time so instead of rehomed and given a new life are dumped in the worst place could be! A kill pound. 1/10 pits make it out alive! FACT. Sheps and Huskies very active and need room to run or are destructive and bite. Chihuahuas over bred after Taco Bell commercials. Many wanted one. Rumor is at one point Taco Bell had horse meat in food. FACT! Did you know!!??? Pounds make money off dead dogs? Yes they do! Their bodies are sold to vet schools to be used. The others are sold to meat traders who render them into many things use daily as tallow. In your make up wearing!! Of course say don't to ease the minds of the disillusioned public. Most don't care about these dogs in life let alone death but I strangely do! I am their voice and I will no be silenced! They shoot horses don't they!!? Was a great film with Marilyn Monroe. She was great in it! She fought for the wild horses being rounded up in aerial copters as do today. Only here used to kill as used for dog food blatantly. Have you ever seen a wild stallion in the range in person? Not on tv. If you have enjoy it while you can as they are being shot...Maybe not by BLM...as deny that they kill them in round uos but get off public land. They claim they control population with birth control. The horses need to be monitored with drones just as they do with dog fighting rings,back yard breeders. We have satellites. Can be used to detect crime and act accordingly. Forest service,game wardens can't be there 24/7 but they can! We have the technology together we can....(rebuild him..6 million dollar man..ha ha...) but I think you get my drift here...No bad dogs just untrained...and dumb people. Who runs things!? People do. Duh. Ranchers,farmers don't like wild horses,burrows as are a nuisance they feel. Get on their land and are destructive. They don't like eagles, our national mascot! Wolves, coyotes,mountain lion,grizzlies,black bear,foxes,etc. are predators to their live stock and livelihoods. TX has a din view of animals. Ever watch a rodeo?!? Pretty brutal stuff for entertainment. A meeting if the minds is needed then now! Animals used like gladiators in the arena to be gawked at by stupid people! And man people are stupid! Hunt foxes on fenced in land in horses for kicks with hunting dogs. They know the poor things are on the property. They gather at set time and they are off galloping forth to find the poor fox who is outnumbered so can shoot it. Often before can get to shoot it the hounds have circled it and are yapping at it with bloody teeth! Oh what fun...I think not. I hate evil,cruelty,bullying like this as is done by weak scared people who fight dirty. Not one in one which is a fair fight but one against 5 who dislike the person and then another 10 or more who do nothing! Know about it and do nothing!! Have you ever been bullied!!? I have. It don't feel good. In my personal life I am up against it once again. Injustice with my housing. With God, higher power, force for good I will go forth. Just as I do here! I am blocked by many but I am shared by some. I think I have something to say! 'ENOUGH!'. If you agree, share my post. I am not speaking for the one dog in the pound here at Harris Cty pets that is of course just 2 and is healthy full of life loving and beautiful! Can you see him or her!? But...I am fighting for every dog,cat here,especially in high kill states' pounds like TX,CA...the highest killers...shame in you!! Such wealth you have. Lots of land but you don't care about your animals!! 10 a day MURDERED not euthanized as not beyond hope and I'll buy simply alone and next in line for SLAUGHTER!! If you have been bullied, you know what that feels like to be alone in a crowded room with no oasis of protection. Noone is coming to save you! Yes GOD is there for each of his flock when his or her time comes! You and me and them. Even the pig and the lamb at the slaughter house so you can eat! But tell me this...Must they suffer so you can!!??? I don't know how you sleep at night but I can't! Their cries haunt me...They should be stunned before their stuck in the chest but often workers do t do properly and they feel it! Chickens are culled and gassed,etc. What an saying we need to do this with some decency. Cams should be over alk areas at these places as well as pounds so we can see 24/7 so we can call to stop the injustices as are occurring! We do have the technology! We don't want to be Big Brother. We fought hard for our freedoms and still do. Not you or I surely but our service men and women on the line.Our police men and doctors nurses who saw us through COVID risking their lives! It wasn't long ago. Have you already forgotten!!?? 9/11 6 were going in to save people after the planes hit as the towers were falling! Have you already forgotten!?? The only requirement for Evil to prevail is for good menand women to do nothing! Most don't. Burry heads in the sand and are busy living their boring lives,self important in their own minds but ..often feeling sad and empty like something is missing. A life without service is a meaningless one! Have you helped any one today!!? Did you go out of your way to help someone who needed it or something. .without an audience to applaud you!!?...because it was the right thing to do. That is the hand of the divine..speaking to you and me if we listen to HIM in the quiet. When we tap into that we can be more than and do more than is humanly possible. That is what is required here. It takes a village. Not a bunch of people rogue. I see so many people in here sharing dogs. It is great and I applaud you but it is not working!! I have been here 7 months. I had a hand in saving 2 shepherds from kill pound,2 other dogs from the street. All in TX from NY home in NY!! They are all off the streets. I got a woman in Belgian Malinois Networking Group - Houston Area - Foster, Adopt Houston Area - Foster, Adopt to pay $1000 to get the pair out if Nueces pound or were going to be killed shortly! I did that!! That's who I am. The next time want to SPIT and block my posts because don't like what an saying. I am speaking the truth. There are enough of us here to really make a difference the right way!!! NOW!! I am going Jerry Maguire in you right now...and I am asking you to write your governor and mayor and say I want NY state to be NO KILL! They did it in VT,NH,MD. How come they did it!!? But CA,so liberal,health conscious..full of beautiful people...such wealth too.. can't!!?? Did you know you are the biggest killer of pit bulls especially but dogs in pounds in this country!???? You won the prize. Woo hoo! Di t you feel proud! You as a state have turned your backs in these most tortured, defiled dogs. The things done to them are unimaginable. I know. I have seen it. Tongues cut out in drug dens so cops when come in can't hear them...No you like in A Few Good Men can't handle the truth. But this is like a car wreck you can't take your eyes off can you!!! You are riveted. TX, you are the second highest killer. Systemically wiping out this breed of dog including Mama's and puppies and killing when pregnant so no more! Pups sometimes spared I my to be killed if sadly still there at 3 months!! I have seen it here and it makes me ill. How about you!?? Is this TMI? Someone smugly write me that as doesn't get what I am attempting to do here!! I can't do it alone! I need you! I wrote a petition to stop the killing. I have signed petitions. When serial cat killer is cooking cats in microwaves, he is finally arrested after..and can't do again but I say how did he get to that point and how did he kill one let alone many?!? He did because no one was paying attention. We really need to stand up and be present for one another daily. Good Samaritan should mean something. Like the 13 year old child;recently in PA..,(in other countries not...may have a family)..she screamed for help and help came! She is after all someone's child. In the mall in PA that was saved because people stepped up...when two men tried to grab her. If hadn't maybe she would be right now in the sex trade...human trafficked. Is happening right under your noses! I understand to function you can't care about everything and everyone 24/7!; But must you be so desensitized and numb to function with booze and drugs and distracted by tv,radio,cell phones and other media constantly so you can't feel anything???? Most days I just share these dogs and write these posts and share them and many say liked them. Thrown a bone. Good dog,girl..lady. But I don't do this for me. I did at first as my best friend died and I needed to get into something to cope with the pain I was left with. He died last September. I didn't want to be here after but I have 3 cats depending on me. Many have children after a tragedy so have to go on. After a couple of weeks people can be cruel as say get in with it. There is no right way to grieve but after 3 months of counseling and groups I started sharing here. Trolls are rampant in social media. Any one can hide behind their cell phones and PC's and spew awful filth out of their holes they call mouths and do. I have been subjected to it and I believe I am doing God's work here!! Many are called and few are chosen. Two paths can choose and still time to change the path on...This road if choose it is narrow. It is the one if truth. It is not for the weak but for those who have had Enough! I am those here who know what I mean..to help me help these least of these as is when di you have helped Jesus,God. I fervently believe we are being called to help them. The corruption and filth and evil coming from these kill pounds is overwhelming!! Do you feel it?!? Do you see it. I have been in them and it makes me ill. I applaud those who are there and fight for these dogs. The cats I think need to get out of all of them,! The feral, the strays that are not pets...need to go back to colonies were in and monitored by drones for protection and fed watered sheltered by Alley Cat Project nationally!! The country needs to fund this to get this mass feral population see across this country because people have dumped their pets in the streets rather than take to a pound because they know may be killed! Is this more merciful? To be hit by cars,have rocks thrown at,be set a fire by sick kids,etc.,poisoned like in Australia currently,their solution to obliterate and deal with the problem so don't kill birds and other species as are doing...It has gotten so bad because so many of you have looked the other way as you step over the bodies of the homeless as you run off to work to face the American dream! Does it even exist anymore?!? So many of us are killing ourselves to be a success. Whatever that looks like...be thin so starving selves...be rich...so I reworking selves, sacrificing our loved ones along the way. We say it is for the money and security and family we do it for but when was the last time you spent quality time with your family!?? So please before us too late and they are fine! People,animals,land,trees,whales(killing pilot whales in drives in Fallution isles)...living things matter more!! Than greed...the man .the jog..the career! May you find that out before you get divorced and lose them. Workaholism,alcoholism,drug addiction even in our doctors and nurses who operate on us high...is rampant...We are only as sick as our secrets. In the light if day when we speak on it it loses its power and grip on us. Addiction is bred in isolation and it is this isolation that is killing us! I do this to have some meaning to my life. I often feel I matter to noone but my cats and my God. Like a flock of geese..They get further in the updraft of each other's wings than they ever did alone! We too need each other even if we don't always like each other because we are all we got! Be conscious of those around you as walk through your days and don't be too afraid to feel and risk being hurt to do the next right sober thing! Dont always be about you and self absorbed and your crisis but be a friend and once in awhile listen and help them so not one sided. So many just take. I have this in own life so why am a loner as protect myself. I give people a chance and they take and take and then I back off. Is fine. Can entertain self. Learned at a young age. Rejected. But is my protection as I am not meant to run in the main daily as writers need alot of time alone. I observe. Try not to judge. Hard not to. But is it making me feel superior!?? I don't know you. Any of you really..what makes you tick. I do know that you are here and if you are it is be aide you care about these animals. If I am right. I am imploring you to WRITE to your local mayor governor senator and speak for those that can only bark or meow and are 7th in our society...animals! I do believe they have rights. We are violating them. Before we wipe out the pit bull...how about we save him?!? The right way. A good dog is a trained dog! Otherwise is a ride unmanageable pain in the A*s! Your choice. Training can be pricey so why so few do it. 75% of us have pets. They matter to us. Are family. We drop alot of coin in them because we value them! Yet .they are just 6th class citizens,chattle like women used to be before got the vote that now so few exercise as don't like any of the candidates do you !? I personally pick the best of the worst. Have you am ever met a politician that wasnt full of crap? Pick a platform or too and run with it. Try to please elderly,veterans,etc. You get the picture. Not helping me surely as I often feel abandoned and alone. Why I relate to the pit because so is he or she and gravely misunderstood. If handled properly,the are bright, loving, loyal. I have a healthy respect for them as mismanaged they are deadly. Did you know that more rottweilers not pits kill people? People need to muzzle them when out on 2 leads to harness,collar until you have under control or you own a deadly weapon! FACT! I have another post Save them! On my blog http://animalslargeandsmall.blogspot.com has many more points about shelter reform and animal welfare. Check it out! **** 2 years old! Can see in a minute is a nice healthy beautiful dog too!! I had my pit,am staff until she was almost 16! Lucked out with me huh?!???? Many good years before she declined and then it was about salvaging what could...to have quality of life. This poor dog never got a chance!! Is sickening. Caught up in the sick meat farm trade here in the U.S.! Oh yes we are horrified by the Chinese in China and Yulan fest. There it is done right in your face!! Too much for our palette and sensitive sensibilities so we condemn them when right under our noses this barbaric insanity is happening in 48/50 states! We all Know that these shelters or rather death camps are not overcrowded to the point can't do anything but kill them when time up for next victim who stays 3 days,gets adopted,fostered or killed too,pup,kitties included as merciless, jaded who do the killing. I can speak out against China and do and things are slowly changing for the better there because do in numbers.but.. Many died last month and were tortured to death for 10 days of blood letting. Fact!! Shouldn't have ..but not enough to stop the trucks full of caged dogs in top of one another in agony. How long do you think you could stand watching that!?? It is a numbers game here and we try to do the most good can. In some you see pups and kitties. Of course if well we try to save them. Pregnant dogs cats are killed to prevent more unwanted dogs cats as the babies grow quickly and in 3 months are not saved this time if on chipping block again. Fact! You at home get to pick and choose and moan over this and that and then get up and watch tv. Can feel good you tried and did anything at all when so many do nothing. Busy living their lives,work,go home, cook,clean,food shop,do wash,care for family,see friends occasionally and do it again...May throw a bit to charity to feel good. Is it enough to make a damn bit of difference here really!!??!? No I don't think so. The reality is ..these animals need to be moved to new places. If have 20o dogs and can only house 100 then build a new place! You have the $. BS if say don't. Doesn't have to be state of the art just as long are structures. TX has plenty of land,cheap land can use. Bureaucracy is stopping the derailed train. The powers that be are blocking this simple idea that is so obvious. Could make TX and CA, that are the biggest killers of pit bulls in the US, no kill right now!!! Can you see it!?? They need to do this they need to do that...Who is they!!? They is you and me! Don't like it!!?? Change it. What I am trying to do. Wake and shake you up out of your slumber. Trust me I know what is going on in the pounds and how much these cats suffer.. who shouldn't be there, TNR them ...return to where got from cat colonies and feed water shelter monitor with drones for safety and done! They are killing 70% of the cats get daily!! 55 % of the dogs!! FACT. Do you think that is a good rate!??? No I don't think so. How about save 90% Save?!!??? Build no kill dog refuges. Network and join forces with the other throw aways of society,your prisoners...being done daily in some prisons..Solving the problem cost effectively. Train free and give to disabled and police depts. !! Needs to happen across the board. In NC prisoners clean the cages. Frees up cleaning crew so can help walk dogs. Friendlies can be out loose in day in corrals as can friendly cats. Abused can get one in one socialization so adopted. As is now...no time ..shelters are crazy busy over crowded places. Could do so much more good than is done because is hard to effect change within the system. Why I stay on the outskirts. Sharing these dogs and cats saves lives! Regardless of what anyone says...things are better. We used to kill many more animals before social media. Many more now have a chance. Is 50/50. Dont know who will see them here. Even when the shelters are closed eyes are on them 24)7. Is miraculous the power here!! Can you feel it!? When people get sick and tired of being sick and tired they do something! I am sick of this killing. Are you!??? If so,join me and share this post with the world here! You be the voice they need. Help me get land,can build structures cheaply,even with used pallets,vacant farms,in foreclosure use..I,me want to open a dog rescue. I know a woman in Costa Rica saved 2,000 dogs on site now! That needs to be temp. Can take them in temp but they need to be going out too so more can come in and be saved. Is not a permanent residence. Ex. The Asher House in Oregon. He lives there with them. Picks who will save at shelters. They stay there and he networks with rescues to get them adopted. What he provides is TIME. He is a dog broker. A very vital part of the machine. Two guys in SC doing the same thing! They have saved 13,000 dogs so far!! Incredible. Do you see how it works!?? We need more Sanctuaries not kill pounds!! RI has hotel for dogs. Best Friends in UT has sanctuary. Big Dog Ranch and Rescue in AL and FL getting alot of border dogs from TX dumped. N. Shore Animal League,NY another. Yukon sanctuary in RGV ..WA husky ranch. TX:Jenni's Ranch,Bushnell farm,sanctuary, Villa Lobos of Pit bulls and Parolees fame..in MS too. AL,open field dog training... Hello! Is anyone home!??? Can you see what WE as a community need to be doing!?? We need to be building places for these dogs NOW! We need to be getting them out!!! NOW!!! Do you, you hear me!!??!!!?? If we don't do it now,these dogs killed today will just keep on being dog food for your pets tomorrow!! How many more Spots and Sally's must die before it is enough!!?? The ones running these places dont care. They are getting paid either way. Do you? Do you care!!? Have you had enough!??! If you do,share the sh*t out of this post!!! Obnoxious,maybe. Effective. You tell me! Are you comfortable!? Do I make you uncomfortable!! If I do then I did my job! My job is to save the poor suffering dog,cat in the cage;!!! I am not here to make you feel ok about this. Just to be clear. Crystal.

Or assistant. Is the case for many people who are old or have disabilities that require help. I have had to have food delivered. Carry it all in myself. Do tv dinners. Wash machine

not working in building at. Handwash socks, tanks, under garments, short, skirts, leggings. I sweep place and do litter boxes, take out trash most days. Have a therapist

speak to via teleconference every other

week. Counselor comes weekly to make sure place kept up. Monthly meet with service coordinator, attend TBI meeting on phone,

speak to doctor for medicine. Attend church online, bible study weekly. Volunteer about 1 day a few hours weekly at thrift store. Put out clothes and organize shop. Since have no

other supports in area like family, close friends, I do this to supplement. During meetings I sometimes do things around place so like doing it with someone like

would with aide. Ex. Do dishes, organize, clean. I suggest this method for those with no help due to shortage of aides. They feel under paid.

Mind, home, closets, counters,shelves, drawers stuffed to the max,

As thin

gs, thoughts overflow, every surface overwhelm,

Too much, will never use, out of focus,

Scattered, frenzied pace, racing to fro thrift shop, bringing in more stuff,

To distract from loneliness, pain that cuts too deep to face alone.

What is it? Stands for Clutterers Anonomous. Is a 12 step group for those of us who have had problems with overshopping, hoarding, cluttering our

homes and lives. What is clutter? It is anything in our minds, lives, homes, on our schedule we have no room for. Yes some of us h aw very kept very busy so dont looked

ourselves. Distracting is also used to not feel

pain of loneliness as it is an isolatory illness. As we improve through meetings, decluttering, reading literature, not bringing

more items in, journaling, meditating, self nurture, ex. Doing art work, praying, etc. helps us have more control over our lives. Service to fellow sufferers on our journey

helps us keep what we have learned. It is free. Next we create a sacred home space instead of a dumping ground to hide from friends, landlord, etc. We also find purpose

to our lives that we daily are rebuilding from the wreckage of our old ones. Yeh for CLA or www.clutterersanonomous.org

Lots of free info on here for the new comers

including meeting times daily. Happy decluttering!

Am out $150. The real real Lost my new kate spade jewelry. Sent photos asked for of what I sent. Said would refer me to consignment relations and internal dept. with no action. I

ask weekly to be paid for what am out but.... get no where. I do not recommend dealing with this company in any way despite their commercials and stores

opening. Especially as a seller it blows as very low pay. Ex. On a $1,000 when new St. John dress in very good shape. Sells for $145. With 40% conmission or @ $58. Big deal.

Have heard buyers too complain of receiving fakes. The real real is a real mess!

Said did not get Kate spade jewelry or other 2 Ugg boots. I shipped in large bag and 2 big boxes. They got what was in boxes and I have proof it was delivered and they received and accepted boxes. They are very slow listing items. Photos are poor as very dark. 75% discount for buyer and I get 40% of sale. Ex. $50 off nice pair of Ferragamo loafers worth

$750 new. $50 on $1000 black sequin St John dress. They also refused many items in good shape saying scratched NO bracelet when was a gold and leather watch band! MK

$500 when new black leather mens bomber jacket for had stains when just dirt that could have been wiped off. Was in great shape. Not a positive experience. Waiting for them to ship back my things.

Waiting for my pay and my refund as returned boots dishonest seller sold me. Were dirty and worn. Ugh.

Postmark has gone public and is doing well but I doubt all the sellers and buyers are as poor customer service, scams and poor products. Many encouraged to buy wholesale cheap China cheap to sell to unsuspecting public. Postmark sells it. I bought a top. Supposedly a l and

climbed up my back. After washing is a M. Postmark is about the quick sale and not about establishing trust and the long haul with buyer and seller. Is take the money and run! Good luck getting it back, money that is. Email them and take forever to answer. If get in their crap list like me, dont. Owe

Got it from Laptopscreen.com. See link below. I first tried Amazon but they only had for hp pavilion 15 and I needed 14.

Saw videos online on how to remove damaged one so I tried and did it. HP.com wanted $150 for part but mine was $58 with shipping.

Was glad didn't need new pc. Have a tablet been using but prefer laptop.

(View from my apartment at 25 Columbia st Owned by Matt Sullivan. Took him 3 months to repair, paint after I reported him to Code enforcement. They forced him to cure. His quick fix..spray paint.. No lie! What a dirt bag.)

Owned by bullyIng Matt Sullivan who took to court to recoup my security he kept and money for damages from bugs, rodents in his building he didn't control. Court decision still pending.

Been at new place across from library owned by Ed Kingsley since July 15th. Three months in, he asks me to leave.

Turns out, is a pattern. Does this to people. Had several prior tenants did this to according to neighbors. 3 come to mind. Unfair and a waste of time and money.

Some people should not be landlords. They also should come with warning labels! I would not have moved in had I known this.

I have a year lease and cured what complained of so had no grounds for eviction. I am also getting an aide to maintain apartment the way he wants so I feel he will back off, eventually. Thank God! Section 8 will also play ball and continue to pay him as long as am housed despite his complaints of my housekeeping to them.

My apartment...skills. Humble. Not better homes and gardens but...Not a dump either!

Not sure why people make trouble for others rather than working with. All had to do was give me a 10 day cure or quit notice that is standard with THE programs. All this unpleasantness could have been avoided. Duh!

Warning! Avoid this person

Jamie Varieur exneighbor strikes again! Yeh. Stole from someone else. Friend Bill Eagan reported that entered his place while he was resring, uninvited and stole large bag of tobacco and tubes worth $39/ This happened after he refused to but her son's used laptop for $100. Surprised if even worked.

She also got him to pay her $20 to clean his place. She also said could to go bank using his card to pay her. The right! She is a known thief. Must have needed money for drugs or rent balance. She is a bully Excon and fat thug. Scary. Belongs behind bars!!

Update- complained to landlord about as had camera in hall. He did nothing as did police. Useless!

Was living at 25 Columbia st. inCohoes, aka 92 Main st. Matt Sullivan landlord is a slumlord. He didn't pay super to fix things although repairss was part of re nt
over 30 days since moved, cleaned, emptied apartment,returned keys Was horrible to deal with him and now still not out of my life!
called codes.. Said would call him. Will have to use them for return of my $700.

he already tried blaming me for damages to apartment. None. Also said annoyed neighbors. They were horrid too. Jamie Varieur is a prostitute, drug addict,thief, ex con for burglary, petit larceny,prostitution,drugs. Hit her 18 month old twice in front of me Stole $60 of my money when had her help me pack.Have bad spine and no other help.

She lived across hall. Was annoying. Borrowed my belongings, food, money. Pushy. Hard to say no to. I am easy going. Hard to deal with someone like her who is a steam roller.
anOther onE drug dealing.

another had many animals and people not on lease in her place. I called codes and was evicted basically. Another had active drug addicts flopping in his sloppy apartment. They tried bullying me and did as disagreed with them. Kept to self.A decent landlord would not have allowed this.

complained to him,codes,and police about it. So I was thrown out. Am honest, have no record not on drugs not a thief nuisance borrower.if said nothing, would still be there! Best ou t.
most likely will have to su e him to get money.

Gentrification of Cohoes

2018-05-17T01:14:00.000-04:00

spam deleted. Thanks! 'here's to your health!' If poor for whatever reason, we are relegated to living in scrappy neighborhood. Cohoes is trying to white wash it',s image and city scale on upper Remsen and surrounding area. by water are river view pricey apartments.
More and more are finding rising rents. I just looked into a place that refused me as have a service dog! I also saw a listing on Craigslist, no social security!

I live next door to a horrid woman who rents room to people and adopts animals without asking landlord permission. She also doesn't spay them!

She has two dogs, 7 catss and 4 people and 2 children ages 2 and 5 months in 2 bed room. She leaves dogs in cages. Hardly let's out. Wonder where she lived before that she thinks this is ok. Landlord does nothing. I feel like calling animal contro?l lt Would rock the boat as live here.

Have to do something as cruel.

Is through BIANYS, brain injury association of NY state. As may know from past post, I was in two car accidents where my head hit the windshield.

I suffer from post concussion trauma as a result which involves several symptoms. I choose not to speak on that too much and just be judged by my art, jewelry make and writing as opposed to my handicaps.

It has strongly impacted my life for sure as have memory, concentration, fatigue, mood, anger, social issues. Have experienced much stigma living in Cohoes sadly.

Get negative comments in ear shot as pass. Interesting in a city full of drunks,drug addicts, convicts, gossips downtown, such attention is directed by way.

i keep to self by choice as prefer over alternative. Would be nice if felt some support instead of isolation and snubbing from mean, ignorant people here.

i l ive here and am part of the people with disabilities here.

My convict neighbor gone.

High School Shooting Shows Need for More Mental Health Funding

2018-02-17T16:35:00.000-05:00

spam deleted. Thanks! 'here's to your health!' Many are portraying this 19 year old troubled man as a criminal. Upon greater scrutinization we see he was in fact a developmentally challenged person with depression. As found in countless mass shootings prior to this such as Columbine and Florida Tech, the shooter was a student or former one with a mental illness. May say how can this happen and why? Hat they need to ask is why more shootings haven't occurred? This society turns a blind eye to the many among uscw ith one. Myself included There is little funding for mental health and resources out there are flawed. I am without family as disowned and friendless too. My service dog is my companion. I am not violent but have been a victim on several occasions. I sustained a head injury from two car accidents. I have some cognitive problems such as with memory and do things slowly. It is hard living in a fast-paced society like this. For this reason I don't work full time but per diem. I give myself plenty of down time, listen to Christian music, attend support grouups on phone, see therapist, doctor for medicine. I experience stigma where I live where I have been called stupid, and crazy by mean, ignorant here. Mine is a lonely life. Keep to self.I have yet to get beyond this but live with it.People in the mainstream need to be more sesitive to those afflicted like myself rather than dismissing us. Everyone has talent. For me, I think I am a good writer. I am not ashamed of what has happened to me. I just wish others could see my gifts besides weaknesses! I believe everyone with a mental health issue needs a case manager who visits the home. Getting a cup of Jo, taking a walk would be more effective than endless counseling sessions with a lonely, depressed individual. I know as am one. Many of us are not fortunate as you as lack community support. As for working, people with depression, anxiety can work but less hours, less stressful jobs,have time outs, work for companies who have hired disabled before, have staff sympathetic to this. Hiring disabled as volunteers. with support is another option to get us out of shadows of our homes into the light of day. Currently I don't as am expected to act like norm or get laughed at, talked of until leave. What is needed is small successes instead of contless social failures, rejection. Perhaps then, there would be a change in this country. We need to deal with people with this humanely as a people and not with callousness show each other. We have become a me, tech, quick, isolated, lonely people. More and more have anxiety, depression, especially elderly as have noone who cares. While they don't pick up guns and kill others, more needs to be done to avoid this. There were signs he was in trouble. They were ignored with indifference as not our problem. The reality is this is everyone's issue.

It has helped me lose 25 pounds over a few weeks too. I was 215 pounds. Now 190.It acts as an appetite suppressant. It also changes taste buds so don't crave sweets which body can't metabolize. So it helps against cancer too by restoring healthy red blood cells and getting rid of unhealthy white blood cells. Apple cidar vinegar also revitalizes the body so helps against fatigue. I live with depression and that is part of it. Feel down and want to do nothing! I have to push myself to do a couple ofthigs daily but not over do get stressed. Then U feel better. I also gargle with it. I use it as a dental rinse too. I add a a few drops to my netipot when I rinse my sinuses as I suffer from sinusitis. I also pour some vinegar on a face cloth rinsed in hot water. I then add it as a compress over my face. I also pat it down. It helps my arthritis in spine, knee and ankle. Injured all 3. Again I add compresses. Good if apply over body as skin.is the biggest organ in body.Great detox naturally. I had upset stomach,diarrhea. Drank juice with selzer and apple cider vinegar and it cleared up quick.
