Wanna know about me? Okay. Here we go. Yep, I have 2 daughters, which my good friends on the ShieldRap already know. One is 15, one is 17 and a half going on 21! Seriously! I am on disability for a terribly bad back (seven bottom discs gone) and horrible knees (2 surgeries each!) that need replacing but I'm too young. I hate my situation with a passion because I miss my job and the people I worked with. I was a meat wrapper/meatcutter for 21 years. I'm dealing with it, though, because I've had back problems since age 16 so I kinda knew it was coming. Every time I TRIED to get out of either the meat dept., dairy, produce, frozen, or anything else in the perishable dept. I kept going back cuz the money was better than front end, and I despised front end. I worked HBA for a year and hated it. So where did I go? The meat dept.!! Go right back onto the cold and busting my ass where my joints can deteriorate at a faster pace, why dontch'a? Dumb, dumb, dumb. Finally it got to the point that after having my fourth knee surgery my body just didn't want to bounce back anymore. After NINE surgeries could you really blame it? So now I'm here for my girls but I'm going crazy. Great. Typical life of a single parent with an a**hole ex-husband. Wonderful. I got into The Shield in the second season, actually, and then went back and bought the first and watched from the beginning and thus I was HOOKED! Chik is my favorite, always has been. My daughter loves Lem, poor dear. She literally CRIED when Lem was killed. For twenty minutes. I'm going, "It's a TV SHOW!!!! Get a GRIP!!". Almost hyperventilated. #jaw-dropping# Tickled the hell outta me, seeing her react like that to a tv show. I was successful in getting Chik to get an autographed pic of Kenny Johnson for her and her made it out to HER, bless his heart. Had her name on it and everything. I thought she was gonna have a cow. "It's a TV SHOW!!! Get a GRIP!!". My GOD!! I love her to death, I swear. She is so funny. Anyhoo, that's pretty much me. For right now, anyway. Thankfully I put so much into my disability fund that I'm making pretty much what I made working but I still miss everyone. Damn. Bye ya'll.
