We killed Joseph Glass for the first time on August 18th, 1999. I knew he was a strange case since day one. Never seen a guy so happy to die before. It was like we were doing him a favor. He refused the automatic appeal. He refused to be seen by a chaplain. He just wanted it over with. It had only t

This is meant to be silly, I spent like 30 minutes making this based on personal and shared experiences. Please feel free to add any squares you think I missed c:
I won my disability case a few months ago (after 3.5 years of delays) and recently signed up for an Aetna Medicare Advantage plan. They keep sending me these condescending letters about the opioids my doctor prescribes me. I have had multiple failed spinal fusion surgeries. I've tried everything fro

Quick rant. Cats got neutered. They were prescribed fentanyl. I tore my spine in two places. I got 600mg ibuprofen. They are prancing around acting fine right now. I couldn't walk for three months. Do I resent them for it? Yeah, a bit. That's all.
