What is all this talk about scamming?? For the last time, I am not here to get any handouts. And we were bombarded was information, so to speak. Information about his condition. Information about treatment. Information about what to do next. The hospital we went to couldn't help us without insurance, but did give us some numbers to call. On the other hand, aside from the phone numbers, they didn't really seem that interested in genuinely helping. I strongly disagree that this is the last place I should be "wasting" time. Many people here, if you bothered to even read everything, have

Once again, I have not and am not going to ask for money. All I have asked for is information, and a good chunk of people have been a bigger help then I could have imagined. I live in a small town in Oregon. I'm not sure where you live, but obviously it is pretty expensive. And making 2-300 on ebay a week is easy. I buy lots and then resell the items individually. Its pretty easy. But this is all besides the point. I'm not looking to convince you. Others here have been very helpful and I am grateful for the information that they've provided.

Thank you

Because I have no idea what I am doing, and google wasn't getting me very far. But within 2 hours here, people helped come up with an entire checklist of things to do. Seeking advice from others is very helpful, especially when you are overwhelmed.

Thank you. You have been a tremendous help...

He was sick for about a week, his deameanor really changed. We took him to the emergency room to get him checked out. And yes, they ran tests. After those came back, we were sent to a specialist. More tests. And yes, they were expensive. Its not as if I am completely broke. I have saved as much as I could. I can cover these bills... But the treatment itself is where the problem exists. Its too much for me to afford. Even if I sell everything I own, it will run out pretty quickly. That is why I came here. Not for a handout, but for advice on how to get help from government, hospita

Thank you!

Thank you for the recent posts that have included some very helpful paths. I am making phone calls as we speak.

THANK YOU so much...

Thank you to everyone who replied with a helpful tip. I will check back periodically to see if anyone else contributes anything positive. But I can't defend myself anymore. It isn't helping my situation and it is a waste of time.

I came here because I am tired, depressed, and out of options. I have called places, been told that they cannot help me. I have looked online, which has only lead to dead ends. I have tried calling everyone I can think of... but I am lower middle class, and all of my friends are too. No one I know has this kind of money. The costs of treating this are staggering. I have posted in all sorts of forums, trying to get the advice of as many people as possible. 3 or 4 of the posts here have lead to more searches, more phone calls, more of everything. So have the other forums. I am trying to

My rent is $750 a month. Food is usually $250ish or so. Clothes usually get purchased before the school year, and we spend $300 or so. I put money aside, out of the left over money, to prepare for taxes. Mother-in-law babysits, which saves money. My wife also has a job - she works at Kay Jewelers, since you will probably attack. She works part time, so guess what, no medical coverage. She doesn't bring in a lot, but we have consistently made enough to have no problems. My wife used to work full time somewhere else, but when she was laid off a couple years ago, the medical insurance tha

Seriously? My mind isn't really focused on what my initial deposit was. I don't really understand what me not knowing means. That I purposely lied about how much I deposited? Why would I do that? I just went along with what the other guy said. I was up all night doing everything I thought I could. I have been looking up things for the last 15 hours. I am so overwhelmed at this point, with getting no results, that I thought I would come here. I thought maybe someone could point out an idea that I was missing or would have pertinent knowledge on the situation. And, some help has actual

I don't own a house, so a loan from a bank is pretty much out of the question. As far as I go, I was adopted and have had no contact with my adopted parents since I was 16. My wife's mom is broke, her dad died a while back. Her mom lives with us, because she never worked while she was married to my wife's father. He didn't have a retirement account or anything set up for the future, was still working when he past away. Kind of put her in a shitty situation, so we took her in. As far as I go, since I have to defend myself. I make maybe $300-400 a week playing poker at the casino, playing

Sorry for not memorizing my deposits. If you want all my information, I'm pretty sure I deposited $200 or so after that. Lost that too.

Out of line. All I am asking for is advice... live poker and online poker are a lot different. I have played 3/6 limit for the past 5 years. But online, I have never been very successful. But since there are such a vast majority of different limits, I thought I'd try to figure it out and see if I could make some money out of it. Thus, I came looking for advice here. But I am really not interested in defending myself or anything like that. All I wanted was advice and a shoulder.

I live in Oregon.

Yes, that was me. I have made my living playing live poker, at a local casino. I had tried online poker in the past, but hadn't had any luck... I gave it a shot again when I did my last post, but I ended up losing the $50 and decided that live was my best bet.As far as the golf idea goes, who would I call and talk to??Thanks

I'm desperate enough, that earlier I thought I could write a book in a week and then try to sell it..... I got 10 pages in, realized it sucked, and turned up posting here for other ideas. This is the worst feeling I have ever had. So powerless.

Alright, if I go the the Ebay route, and sell everything else I have, I may be able to get $3,000 or so - if I am lucky. If it really comes down to it, I could probably sell my car, for $4,000 or so. But that still leaves me short for the initial PROJECTED costs. At that point, with no car or any valuable possessions, I would still be pretty scewed. Are there any other ways to make a lot of money quickly? I guess if there were, I would have heard about it........ I guess my questions don't really have answers.

Hey everyone - Thanks for advance for any help you guys can offer.I found out yesterday, although I still haven't been able to sleep, that my son has leukemia. Even worse, I do not have medical insurance. My main source of income over the years has been poker and selling on Ebay. But, while I have been profitable in both arenas, I do not play high stakes or make a tremendous amount of money. I make enough to survive, provide for my family, and live a somewhat comfortable life. But I don't have anywhere near enough money to handle a situation like this. Thus, I am hear not only to get som

Yeah, I do agree with that... and she does a good job of it.

I honestly think that Shana Hiatt is one of the worst hosts I have ever seen. She never seems to know what to say, and when she does speak it almost feels forced. She just seems awkward. She has no idea how to build rapport and can't seem how to fake interest in what the players are saying. Just my thoughts.

This happened on poker after dark. There was tension from the very beginning. Tells his he is a "freaking idiot" because he claimed he knew what Erick's hand was - which dates back to what Gordon said about Erick in an article, and what Daniel mentioned in a blog. Erick also says, "No one cares what you think" and "You can only read the whole cards"Gordon plays it off, but it is obvious that Erick is serious.Gordon later says sorry and asks for forgiveness and Erick says "hell no"

I am playing on Full Tilt and it seems like the minimum limits are much higher then on the site you guys are speaking of... They do have $5.50 45 and 90 man SNG's... They have .25/50 limit and .5/.10 NL. So, considering this, what would you guys suggest?
