Well, as I approach the half-century mark in a couple of weeks, I still find it hard to keep myself up and at the game. I worry about the health of my aging dog, who is about 12, and is the only thing left I am clinging to for dear life. But, I also want to get outta the crappy private rental market, into a subsidized housing complex for people with severe mental illness. See, coming up to 50, I also fear a bit of my life is "over", and I really lost the past 15 or so years to horrific bipolar2. But, I have a hard time keeping my physical space...yes, a 50 year old guy who definitely can't keep his room, apartment clean. I am a social worker who needs a social worker. So, this would provide that, gentle 'persuasion', and some subsidized funding. Thing is, too, I want to work again. I don't want to retire. I feel like it is a zoo out there, and my lack of social upkeep just makes me look older, and bloated. I don't have any hard "technical" skills...just a social workin social worker. The world wants a fat wallet, not a big heart. thank you...merci..

Someone said, they never fear a thing
Well, I do
And I'm afraid enough for both of us,
For me and you
Time, if nothing else, will do it's worst
So do me a favour, and tell me the good news first
