If sharing didn't help you feel better, it helped to make me feel better about my smaller issues- so maybe knowing that can help you feel better?
Anyway, please put your paypal info out there. It won't be until the Christmas money starts rolling in but I'd definitely throw some loot your way.
Aww, my shitty thing doesn't negate yours. Car trouble is the worst! It's funny because a month after the accident...my car broke down. It was like the shit cherry on top. So I have to get a ride from my ex's brother a few times. I eventually got to drive a rental from my insurance, which was nice. I'll def consider the PayPal, but would something like GoFundMe be better? I dunno.

Please hang around here and in chat. And the least we can shoot the breeze and laugh at dumb people.
I guess I just felt sorta...silly. Like, since my gym shut it's doors forever, I coulda just went home and got a but more sleep. Oh well.

This, probably. Go flap your ballsack around on chaturbate and make a mint.
Students are good for a cleaning, but I'd not trust them to much else.
Ha! Over the years I honestly have thought of turning to the darkside to raise money. I even considered one of those cuddle-buddy service. I was growing that desperate. But, I'd rather not wake up with a cock in my mouth and a broken bottle up vodka up my ass. "Cuddle," they say.

I'd imagine you've looked into state, and private dental plans. None of them will cover any of it? Insurance is so shady.
Yeah, nothing will really cover the damage I took. Well, they cover some, but it's so laughable the amount. Like 200-300 off the total. The problem with dentures is that it doesn't prevent bone loss, something my dentist is extremely worried about as is. It would be a stop gap that is most aesthetic, unfortunately. I am not sure it helps with shifting either, as the teeth below/above somehow know there's nothing "real" above/below, so they start shifting/moving/receeding/etc. Teeth are so stupid.

Many of TNL will help any way they can, don't be afraid to reach out. And you have nothing to feel guilty about. Getting your smile back will do a world of good for your self confidence.
<3 Thanks so much! I'm talking to the dentist one more time today before I consider any donations type thing. He told me on Friday (or was it Thurs) that the financial chick will give me a ring today. Hopefully with some better news than the huge downpayment they wanted before.

With that said, my problems are negligible compared to what you've had to endure. We want to help and we are here for you. If you're TNL, you're TNL for life, lol. And yes, Xmas money comes in for quite a few of us around Thanksgiving to Xmas. We are happy to help.
You are far too sweet Thanks so much. If I ever strike it rich, TNL gon' get spoiled.

Aww, I really appreciate it! Yeah, the world is so fucked sometimes. It makes it so much harder when you're also battling horrible jobs. BUT! That part should hopefully change soon. Heaps of interviews this week!
I took all your French Toast.
