Good Evening Everyone

This story is absolutely terrible, yet not all that suprising. The system is horribly broken:

In the final months of his life, Darrin Nelson struggled to pay for his Charlotte apartment and groceries as he battled the effects of AIDS.

He had applied for Social Security disability benefits after he became too sick to work, but government assistance never arrived.

Good Afternoon.....

good morning all,

back (somewhat) from the dead. Was in the ER yesterday dehydrated with this stomach bug on top of bronchitis/peunomia. This is the first time in 4 days that I can sit up for more than 5 minutes.....

So, right now it's a toss-up: just sit and wait for the foreclosure/reposessions or file for Chapter 7 and hope the judge rules in my favor and discharges all of the debt.

Looks like I'll need to have a yard sale soon. Might as well start clearing everything out.

I would think that a judge would grant you a chapter 7 under those circumstances....
