    Michigan gets cold. More content coming later from our Social Justice
    Warrior as he attempts to squeeze even more money from the sheep!

    "John Henry
    Man I don't like how susceptible my body is becoming to changes in the
    weather. There's a giant winter storm system and low pressure moving
    in, and I can barely move. Feel like I want to crawl back into bed and
    sleep for a week. I'm sure the ongoing upheavals aren't helping, but
    also sure it's not 'depression.' I know that feeling all too well, this
    ain't it. I'm not sure I have anything to say or the inclination to say
    it right now, but I'm alive and still desperately trying to figure out
    what the hell I'm gonna do about staying that way at the end of the
    month."

    Glad to help.

    You can move out and leave that woman you mooched from to die in peace.
    If you were desperate, you'd have looked for work rather than spent your dwindling time trying to sell John Henry t-shirts and mugs.

    <AHEM!>

    Not enough? Need more whining from a guy who wants everyone else to
    support him! I'm glad to forward on his message of mooching!

    "John Henry

    You know it occurred to me today...*every single time in my life* I've
    lived on my own, been the one in control of the rent and decisionmaking,
    I've let someone in need crash at my place at some point. *Every.
    Time.* I've never had my own place and *not* let someone crash there at
    least once for at least a few days. Never asked for anything, never
    expected it. Just oh, you need a place to be? I've got a place, come
    on. That realization makes me feel good about myself. Even at my worst
    I was never a greedy, selfish jerk who ignored other people's needs. I
    may be broken and have done a lot of things I'm ashamed of and regret in
    the past, but leaving someone on the streets when I could put them
    inside is something I have never, ever done."

    It must have been mighty crowded in that last room John got tossed from
    for nonpayment of rent. So I guess John is saying he was in control of
    the rent to the point of not paying it and not allowing anyone to stay
    that could.

    Of course, John could be lying. Again.
