For instance, my oncologist had me receiving radiation treatments for a week on the assumption my cancer had spread to my spine and it turned out to be spinal stenosis and a bulging disk. I think my saliva glands are permanently damaged but if I sue my doctor who would take care of me? Stuff happens.

But, one stuff has happened that has my ire up. I have been through some hard financial times … once or twice (only) I had to take a short-term payday loan which I paid back right away. No problem there, saved me more than it cost in those instances.

Nowadays, however, a search for loans has you put in ALL your information then sends it to a dozen or so places to see who can offer you the best deal. Drawback here (stupid Laurie!!!) is they all have that information, including bank info. So I had a couple instances where lenders would take out money instead of putting it in . Talk about stupid!! I won’t make that mistake again.

Now, a different lender (not one of the ones who ripped me off before) is threatening to sue me for a loan they never made. I told them go ahead and sue me because it will take 2 seconds to prove I never received money from them. And then they can pay my lawyer. And maybe some extra for emotional stress. Grrrrrrr. They actually DO have ALL my information and want to sue me for ‘fraud’. I offered to send them my bank statement (they already have the numbers) so they can just let it go and after some arguing back and forth they agreed. So two minutes later I have it.

But. Can I countersue them if they take me to court? It would be nice to have a little money to leave to the kids. I might just be angry enough to do it. Is it feasible? They are using fright tactics ("we have 16 lawyers listening to this conversation .. like that wouldn’t cost more than they think I owe them (5?)… I’m thinking if I don’t call back or send them the information I might not hear from them again. Maybe they figure most people who apply for payday loans are desperate and will imagine that they somehow neglected to pay and just give them the money. Dunno.

Do I play ball or wait and see what they want to do? Make them at least spend some more money with filing papers to get the information.
Yea that’s what I figured. I’m much calmer now.

So I don’t send them the proof so they’ll drop it? Just let them proceed if they want?

This just stinks of …. something …. anyway. I don’t think this is how lawsuits are handled. What I think is this is some bill collector or just a scam to get me to pay back money I never borrowed. That’s why I’m so ticked off. If I borrowed money I can make arrangements … I’ve got a few of those going that may or may not be paid off before I die. But I wouldn’t want anything to prevent my estate from settling.

To me a hero is someone extraordinary. A man or woman that stands up
for what is good. A hero is brave and noble. That saves lives and is noted for their feats of courage. A hero is someone that does something nice like feed a starving child. A true hero is someone that does good deeds out of the trueness of their hearts. As superman has krypton, all heroes have a weakness. Something or some one we hold close to us that if harmed makes us weak. Someone/something that makes us do what we do, like Spiderman has Mary Jane. I am only aloud to write about one stupendous person. But I’m afraid that I cannot write about a hero. Everyone is searching for a hero, people want someone to depend on, and I never found anyone that fulfilled that need. I think that this day and age, we have no heroes. I have yet to find someone to look up to. This world has not any heroes, because we are a world that only cares about ourselves. In today’s world ‘’saving’’ a basketball game can make you a hero. Unlike many young people today, I know that good looks and popularity does not make a hero.
And by that we will sallow up ourselves and die. Like celebrities for example, donates and supports groups is so they look good. And you should help people not to buff yourself up more, but because you strongly want to make a difference. It seems like most famous people only does things to that matter is because someone close died of, like cancer or heart attack. The true heroes are the people who deeds go unknown and secret. Like our 9-11 firemen. They are not famous but they did it one because it’s their job, and two, they want to serve our country. And our military, who is far away from everything and everyone they know and love, but they want to keep our country safe from harm and too keep it safe and free. Why would a celeb be a hero when they put themselves on a pedestal? Heroes do what’s right at all cost. Even if it hurts them they will try to do what they do with a smile on their face. We have no moral values so my class mates will most likely write about some football star, some guy or girl that they have the hots for, some singer or actor that degrades themselves. You can not pick some random person such as Payton manning, Chris brown, opra, Lebrun James as hero is not and cannot be any person. Its something that only a few people can be. People say that heroes are made and not born, that heroism is a matter of fate, but if heroes are made, who – or what – "makes" them? If they are not made, how can wonder woman be a hero? We know that she was sculpted from stone. Our heroes represent the best of ourselves, yet being human and have their flaws; they also allow us to accept our limitations. They teach us to act for the greater good, and not for ourselves. Apparently, you would think that there are many heroes in the world but in today’s day and age there are none. People conspire and do horrific things, they still get away with it and younger people look up to them. Why would someone that saves a basketball game, can sing or dance be a hero? As the world still turns, it gets worse and worse everyday. What will happen to us? Are we at the point of no return, or is there some person who can save this world before we become the very thing we never wanted to be? These days, there are more cowards than heroes. And it makes me sick to know that the world will show no passion for no one but it’s self. The optimal hero is a person we can learn from. Who has made mistakes and is not afraid to admit them. Such as the person used to be mean or did drugs and changed their ways and form what they did, help other people not to make that mistake. Most people are afraid to speak up and tell it like it is, because they do not want to be thought unfavorably of. And if you know, everyone wants to be liked.
