I really sympathize with you Dexter....gosh that is sad how your friends don't appreciate what you have done. You really see who cares when you are down and out.
I think it is a good idea to volunteer your time with a shelter or food kitchen maybe? Are you up to doing something like that this year? You have a very giving and caring side to you and that is admirable.....direct it at yourself and those that need it.
