\n“Got turned down by the Funny Bone in Knoxville – that hurt. Also, Sandy told me April wouldn’t headline me. I cried. Very depressing day. I’m worried about finances – paid my Amex, Visa & other charges & used almost all my savings. Maybe I’m in the wrong business. Don’t know how much longer I can handle the rejection. Worried about income, despondent about career going NO<\/span> WHERE<\/span> and I’m almost 40.”<\/em><\/p>\n
