That's sharp, but I also hate that I get the reference.

Sympathies. Florida SNAP is also terrible. When I applied, they denied me, saying that I had too many assets; i.e., my truck. Apparently, I was supposed to sell it so I'd be properly impoverished. No clue how I was supposed to find work in a rural area with no bus service.

That is the definition of cursed.

Oh, I meant the 'When he and I met, I was groundskeeping/living in an abandoned foundry.' That's the start of some bittersweet Miyazaki film. (I, too, remember having money once upon a time)

That setup deserves to be an entire story. Also, as to the butt going numb, you use it to test your tolerance for pain like the Gom Jabbar in Dune.

I'm also happy to assist them.
