.........I could spit nails!!!!! The motto of "No one is denied access to the Y because of inability to pay" is a complete crock!!!!!!!!!
Do you know that someone who is trying to get healthy should quit WW and disconnect internet, not make any long distance telephone calls, and get this....... only spend $125.00 a month for groceries so you can give that money to the Y. After my total expenses a month I have about 50 bucks a month left (and those total expenses do not include a hair cut, wear some clothes that fit me or money for gas etc., those are luxury items) I was denied any financial assistance because according to them, I do not need WW or my internet and therefore can can pay out the well over $500.00 a year to become a member there. All I want to do is work with some weights so I can tone up this loose skinned body and get healthier.
I came home in tears but one good thing.... before last Feb., I would have come home and pigged right out, today I came home, cried and had a cup of green tea. Thank you WW and everyone supporting me on this journey to a healthier life. You are the best! Thanks for listening.

About Me
- tweetybrrd
- I was born June 18th, 1961 on Father's Day to Earl & Martha Sibbald. Was raised in the township of Wainfleet where my parents still live in the house my father built. I have 1 younger brother. I graduated Port Colborne High School in 1978 and went on to Sheridan college where I studied animated cartooning. Do to major problem with my knees and many surgeries, I never completed my college education at Sheridan. I took piano lessons when I was younger and even won a Gold Medal in the Niagara Falls Kawanis Music Festival. I went on to learn how to play many instruments including, baritone sax, mandolin, acoustic and electric guitar, bass guitar and bit of the banjo. I went on the road with a band from Oshawa for 3 years, playing all over Ontario before moving back to Niagara, living in Welland and played bass guitar in a few local bands for about 15 years. I Love to draw & paint. I am self taught in crocheting and I love all kinds of crafty things to do.
