[NEFARIOUS]

For me, I was going through the roughest patch I've ever had; back in 2008 or so, I had it all, but my business partner decided to cheat taxes and my finances crumbled with the business, then I had no choice but to find jobs that were either paycheck-to-paycheck as it is, then get laid off, something would go horribly wrong with my job, or I'd latch onto temp jobs, but always managed to keep my head above water until last year.

As some of you may remember, I know I have a bad habit of being long-winded as it is (especially when I'm either passionate or angst-ridden but I'm slowly trying to get over it)... But since I was undergoing deep depression after hitting rock bottom after everything in my life + my father's death, for whatever reason I felt Bimmerpost was an escape and a place to vent a bit since my friends IRL weren't exactly helping me, especially one scumbag that promised me the world and would never deliver.

With that, BMW F22 suggested to post a GoFundMe, and I'm grateful for him and kevinbahnz, Curt2000, bimmette and a couple of others that didn't leave their screen name for helping out with roughly $150... I owe you all big time for paying it forward for me. Thanks again.

As far as what I did for others, I was on the Metro once and got talking to a homeless vet that was missing an arm (no sign of drug use + showing me his only prized possession: his Purple Heart and other chest candies + passing a few military questions since my best friend served and taught me jargon/things your average civvie won't know = legit enough, no stolen valor here), so I gave him a $5 and even a meal voucher that Wienerschnitzel sent me after I emailed corporate due to a mix-up... When I normally wouldn't give out handouts, or only keep it within less than $1 if I do.
