Dear Rob,

When you receive substantial donations from people, it is appropriate and generally appreciated to give an update on what those donations are being used for. I am glad Linda is on a potential path to recovery.

Spoiler: Bitter, bitter stuff. Feel free to skip.

However, when you then continue on to complain about optometrist visits, allergy specialist visits... you are putting me in the mind of Jim Baker telling his audience that they need to send JUST a LITTLE MORE money to get their prayers answered.

I work a full time job year round. 5 months of the year I pick up another 24 hours a week in waiter shifts. I haven't been able to afford to see a doctor in 7 years- save for the one time my leg was broken and I was able to prove another party was at fault- , and my eyeglass prescription is 9 years old. I would die before I went begging for donations online, you absolute putz. You made FOURTEEN eye doctor visits in 5 months? Care to elaborate? Because that, to me, makes you sound like either an indecisive moron or a hypochondriac. You've "always been healthy people" hey, welcome to aging population every damn one of us.

"Oof, I guess the whole news post has been a gigantic bummer so far. There's still more bummer-ness to come, too. (Especially when we get to State of the Finances.)" So, yeah, this is part of hitting people up for more money. Jackass.


Anyhow, yeah, this update is what finally switched me from "eh, watch and see what happens" to "delete the bookmark, done done done, you hack".
