I woke up to read about the death of Big T. [View all]

Big T. was a dog that was rescued in Thailand about a week ago. He was about 10 years old and had a horrible tumor on his underside.

He died yesterday surrounded with love and compassion.

It cracked me up bad and I was so sad so early in the day.

Luckily, I remembered to call LHEAP for energy assistance. Its dialing for dollars sometimes for hours and you never get through. Luckily, I got through right away and have an appointment tomorrow a.m. for a phone interview.

This will pay my PG&E bill for several months hopefully.

Thank god I got through as times are tough for me after losing thousands of dollars on a used car I bought in 2023.

I have no car now and getting through for LHEAP help sure matters a lot to me.

Anyone that thinks that disabled old people living in poverty enjoy this are a total disgrace and shameful.

All for now,
