    It’s not about the money. It’s about thinking how much by back is going to hurt when I bend over and wondering if I’ll straighten up afterwards.

    If the cost would hurt me I just can’t, it would cost me mental health. If I walked away I’d be thinking about it for days! Maybe my mental health ain’t good to start with!

    I'll have to admit, as funny as the quip sounded, I will crawl if I have to. Found money is found money which leads to the next one, quoting my father in law:
