Goodwill Hunting

Mon, Feb 1, 2010 (Uncategorized)

One of the best parts of thrifting, aside from finding fabulously valuable merchandise that you can flip on Ebay, are the small windows that open, allowing a deliciously voyeuristic glimpse into humanity.  Take Cynthia, for example, who probably didn’t even realize that she tucked these important papers into the book she was reading in the hospital after her near-fatal heart attack. 

This first one is the note from her doctor asking Curves to hold her membership because she is in cardiac rehab.  A perfectly reasonable request, of course.  She doesn’t need the undue stress of this membership hanging over her head, and she could probably use that money for something else, right?  I wonder what she used it for?  Let’s check out this next document to find out!

If you guessed “five cartons of cigarettes,” you would be spot on, my friend.  Please note the dates on both documents. 

Anyone got a light?

    so when I first read this I wanted to do some serious throat-kicking… and then I realized this is some kind of hell this woman is creating for *herself*, so then I felt bad for her… like she didn’t realize life could be better than that… then I realized with universal healthcare or emergency visits I’ll likely be paying for the future operations, which didn’t make me *that* mad, just sort of put me back in the middle of indifference again.

    bah :(

    Well, since both of my parents died of smoking related conditions (lung cancer, emphysema), I actually have little sympathy for smokers or their afflictions. The warnings are there. My step-mother-in-law just recently nearly died from a massive heart attack…at least she put down the Marlboros…damn.
