" ~ I don't mean to jump into this conversation, but I have tried volunteering. It lifts my spirits so much and is a wonderful substitute for working, for myself that is. I have not volunteered in quite a while and hope to get back into volunteering. Unfortunately, we are really low on cash. We moved from Fairbanks, Alaska to South Dakota. (My husband is military). So, we lost about $600 per month in Cost of living allowances. My husband is looking for a second job. I have attempted to work in the past, with no luck because the supervisor had no compassion for my pain and did whatever she could to get me to quit until I finally did just that. Anyway! I just wanted to pop in and say how volunteering helps me with my depression from the constant pain, burning, natural electric shock therapy my body gives me lol. Love, Becky Quote
