Prompt from a few days ago: “Newspaper”

The prompt from the whimsical people at the Daily Post division of Word Press imagined he prompt from a few days ago of “Newspaper” to enlighten our creative pursuits of that day.

My Newspaper Experiences

Have always loved writing, so I joined our high school’s newspaper staff one year.  Not being a part of the “in” crowd, didn’t work out too well.  Was not interested in the school’s sports teams or where the next parties where being held.  So I sort of fell flat on that endeavour.

Ended up appearing on the front page of the local paper almost every week, it seemed though.  Either winning scholastic awards or my involvement with Girl Scouts, 4-H, or the church I was forced to attend.  At least my grandparents were getting their subscription’s money’s worth out of seeing one of their descendant’s name and or face on the paper each week.  I hated getting the publicity for just being what I considered just another kid.

Now days, I do not even waste my time looking at a newspaper.  Face it, by the time it is off the press it is old news!  Get my information on what’s happening in the world through the internet, now.  No more wasting trees that the local animals have been using for a rest room!

Please Help Fight Evil Disease

The medicine my neurologist prescribed for me to treat my multiple sclerosis is called Tysabri. Trying to find the actual cost on the internet is basically nearly impossible. I remember when I first started on the drug the amount the facility tried charging me was well over $2500. There was no way my husband and I could afford that then or every 28 days! Biogen (the company that manufactures the drug) has been helping us with some of the cost of the drug, but will not continue helping indefinitely. So I have started a Go Fund Me campaign.
