GRRRR!!

I'm in a GRRRR!! mood right now. Ever since I graduated from college in December '03 (got my diploma in January '04 and had the ceremony in May '04 ~ weird I know), my alma mater has been trying to get me to join their university fund. In other words, they want me to donate my hard earned cash for the beautification of their campus. Now, I'm very proud of the fact that I went to that particular school. I had the most amazing academic experience there. But I feel what I paid in tuition is enough. But on and off for 1 1/2 years my alma mater keeps CALLING ME with more request for $$$. I was starting to get very perturbed.

So today I get a call, from another university asking me for money. One I never attended but had to fork out thousands of dollars to earlier in the year. It's where my dog went for chemotherapy for his lymphoma. I was drained of all my savings paying for expensive operations, drugs, treatments, x-rays, blood tests, etc. to save my dog's life. And not that they were nice to me and my family during the whole process. They tried to make the experience as negative as possible. It was their way of frightening me about my dog's situation enough so I could go back and spend more money on treatment. So now that my dog is in remission and they know that I refuse to bring him back for more treatment, they are trying to find other ways to tap into my wallet. Good grief people! Don't you have souls? I feel so used and so sad.
