Situation: I have lots of medication to take each day. Well, several times a day in fact, and please don't make a "red pill or blue pill" joke - I've already done that over at ISFDB ( Read more... )

Today I left the house with a bag full of goods for charity. Having donated that, I went round several other charity shops and found myself coming home with another bag full of charity goods, this time for me to keep ( Read more... )

Situation: I'm not particularly healthy, and after missing my bus stop (due to poor eyesight and darkness at the time) on December 27th I found myself over-reaching myself on the walk home and fell over, cutting my chin open as well as grazing my hands to the point of needing them bandaged for a week.

After removing the non-humans and ex-humans from my friends list I could probably send them all out willy-nilly and maybe have some spare, but rather than do that, does anyone know of someone that could really use such a discount?
