Skid row all the way…to hell.
Funny. I just found this. I've been waiting since November for mental health treatment in California.
My 99 cents opinion (agree, or give the finger-I DONT CARE)…………………………………….I came out here with various mental disorders?/name of old state withheld) 2 years ago. ever since then (covid, local residents of various socioeconomic backgrounds and fucked up beliefs?, laws, ordinances etc……………………….The typical story of the outofstater brother, that gets burned with every attempt at the life that he knows?………………………………………………….Iv'e done the therapy thing, the MMA thing (JIU-SHITZU), tolerating ROTTEN DRIVERS, rude PUKES in the checkout line, and even the fundamental benefits are affected by this SHIT!………………………………..Special, or not special, wer'e living in an entirely new age of living? Especially out HERE!!………….I'm known as "The neighborhood crazy" and PROUD OF IT!………………………..MY best advantage would be: Playing with these FUCKERS if I became friends with someone in Local Authority, and they made me a COP😊👌 Oh YAH!
