For real. Drugs and thrown away to get rid of her, or did she hide her self-there to be taken out to the curb.

Although the title doesn't say she was dead, my heart was already aching for her... There are a million reasons how she could have ended up in that can. I was deathly afraid of my mother and I would have hid underneath dead bodies to get away from her...

There are so many jobs like these that pay nothing and are crucial. Employers are wondering why they cant find any or decent help yet they want people to work to exhaustion for nearly nothing.

Here in Michigan, drivers make over $25 an hour and the people that work the back and throw the garbage start at over $19
