I'm writing this to clear up a misunderstanding. I don't use my real name on the internet anymore because I did from the dawn of computers. I still use that email address for business and I'm glad it has great spam filters because I average about 2500 spam messages a week.
Anyway I have been the liquor manager for a large national retail chain. I deal with the wine, spirit and beer reps and place all the orders. I also deal with any order problems, out of code issues, problems with drivers or customer problems,
About 6 years ago I was injured on the job and ruptured 2 discs in my back and had surgery. They fixed the discs but permanently damaged the nerve to my left foot. I went through 6 months of physical therapy to learn how to walk again.
About 2 months after I returned to work I was diagnosed with stage 3 squamous cell lung cancer. I was given about a 5% chance of living for over a year. After 14 months of chemotherapy and radiation I have been in remission for almost 3 years.
About 6 months ago I suffered a slip and fall accident at work and re-injured my back and have been on workman's comp ever since. I'm taking pain medications plus other prescription drugs and I have a hard time sleeping for more than 4 or 5 hours at a time. I have to wear a back brace most of the time except when I'm sleeping. By the way I haven't had a drink of real alcohol in over 6 years because of the prescription drugs I take. So the fake drinks on here are fun.
As far as not having my picture as an avatar I use a Blobfish because that's sort of how I feel. If you look through my pictures there is a picture of me titled 'me'.
Lastly I am not 80 years old, on many sites I list my age as 100. Age is just a number and I feel isn't relevant.
That's enough of baring my soul.

I have no problem helping those that need help on here, I do it all the time. I bling people when I want to not when they want me to. Don't beg, don't call me sweetie, homey, bro, etc. Don't talk like you're ignorant; I was homeless once and believe me homeless people are a whole lot smarter than you because they need it to survive on the street. Don't try to con or scam me because I've seen it all. If you can't act like a friend don't ask for my friendship.
