Why?

     Just wanted to express some thoughts.  Today is rough-ish.  Well not for me personally, but I must deal with it all the same.  Long story short my sister was hit with a subpoena today.  From a group of doctors that really did shit for her.  They, being my bro in law and sister are real torn up about it.
     Me?  I'd love to be, but then who would console me.  Besides it's technically their own doing.  It's simple really.  When people demand money you speak with them, arrange payment schedules.  When you ignore them....they send lawyers and stuff after you.
     For right now we're dealing with the shock.  No one is talking much.  Sister will have a bads night sleep with knots in her tummy.  Brother in law will toss and turn.  Me?  I'll be up and down, but that's just because of the diuretics. 
     It's not even that crippling of an amount, that's what gets me.  Dammit kiddies.  I owe a hospital and another section $1700.  I originally negotiated with them for $50 a month payments.  They said no.  Sent me to collections, whom I negotiated the same damned amount and they accepted.  People just want to be paid, not ignored.
     See that's the ugly truth.  They gave plenty of notice on the answering machine.  Sister gave the very cavalier answer of 'can't get blood from a stone'.  Wrong tact obviously.
     I'm going to have to do some hoop dancing but I'll make it go away, but it is just so stupid.  I am more aggravated than concerned.  I am tired of weak people.  Secretly I always wanted to be one.
     You see, with the exception of G_D I've really had no one to rely on for a good portion of my existence.  This in turn didn't make me bitter.  Made me stronger, self reliant.  And it is the little things.  In which I do wish to show in my Sandy story.
     An example.  They are both 2 pack a day smokers.  $10 a pack multiplied by 4 is $40.  $40 multiplied by 7 days is $280.  $280 multiplied by 52 weeks is $14,560.  Do the math.
     I'm done for now I think.
