Okay, I'm not going to get really into my background because it really doesn't matter.  I'm not a dummie.  I'm not lazy.  But I do need help.  I've had the unfortunate experience of getting hurt in two different auto accidents.  My insurance cut me off from medical coverage relating to those accidents within 3 months of each.  Of course they pay their doctors to say that I'm fine "you're young... don't worry about it" is what I kept hearing.  Screw that!  It's been 2 years since the 1st accident and 1 year since the 2nd... and I'm still seeing a chiropractor once a week!!  I DO have regular health insurance, but had to eat through the $500 deductible for the out of network doctor.  And have them cover acupuncture?? HA!  And that's just the specialists I've been seeing since August 2006... I've seen neurologists, chiropractors, been to physical therapy (several), regular doctor, had x-rays, MRI's, cat-scans, etc...  What am I left with?  A messed up knee and lower back problems from 2 compressed discs on my lower spine.

My point is, that it all adds up.  BUT I'm not looking for charity.  While I'd love to sue both of those rat-bastard drivers who hit me and make them/their insurance companies pay me back for all the doctor visits and stuff, what I'm really looking for is a 2nd job for additional income.  I'm not here asking for free money or anything like that.  I'm essentially an able bodied person who's looking for a partime/freelance job to make extra money - that I can save... so I don't ever have to ask for money or get really into debt.

I'm a professional (and talented) graphic designer looking for freelance work.  I DO have a regular full-time job though, so any additional jobs I get would be done at nights and on weekends.

I used to babysit all through highschool and college... I'd love to do some more babysitting as I'm great with kids.

Heck I'm up for just about any job... I love to keep busy and don't want to feel like a schmuck charity case.
