Hey Capt Deb,

Relax, lounge around with puffy high heeled slippers, flowing gowns, eating bonbons and the occasion glass of bubbly.  Enjoy being a kept woman for a change ;D

One day I will be joining you.  The stress is killing us!!

Enjoy, and cheers to your health.

Capt. -

It sounds like you made the best decision you could under the circumstances.
 
I'm glad this issue is finally resolved,

I don't actually "make" trouble..just kind of attract it, fine tune it, and apply it in new and exciting ways

Deb,
Glad you finally have things resolved and although it didn't work out completely, the end result is still there.  Now you can try to focus on making yourself feel better.  Hugs to you and the puppy!

Deb, I'm glad that you have reached your decision.  It's never easy.  My first thought was this song - McCartney/Lennon's Let It Be.  ( I think the reference to Mary was actually one of their mothers). Do a little meditating, some yoga, and listen to some Beatles, I guess!!  And just trust that it'll all shake out eventually.

When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

And when the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree,
There will be an answer, let it be.
For though they may be parted there is
Still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be. Yeah
There will be an answer, let it be.

And when the night is cloudy,
There is still a light that shines on me,
Shine on until tomorrow, let it be.
I wake up to the sound of music
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be,
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Your welcome.  I am just now watching Across the Universe, with Beatles songs in it.  Decided to take a break and check on e-mail.  This looks like it's going to be a good movie. I like musicals.  I enjoyed Once, also.  Very charming.

Take care everyone.

 ??? OMG Luv the wonkeyhead.   How cute and so much how I feel. Im glad and sad for you I know how you feel I have also been trying to get SSD I couldnt get SSI because I had 2,000 in a savings. whoopie do.. Ive been trying to get SSD since 2006, with an attorney.  I still havent even seen a judge.  My home is going into foreclosure soon and I too have alot of bills. Docters, hospital etc. etc.  One good thing is I did work at Federal job and I am just now getting Disability Retirement from them. Not much, and they also have screwed me out of back pay. But Im satill hopeful. But will have to probably sell my house before I lose it. It sucks why people nearly have to be dead before they want to give a person money. I mean I worked 30+ yrs and put into it, and now they act like Im stealing from them.  I also have Hep-c , along with the AN issues. Its over whelming sometimes and discouraging. We must keep onward , upward and forward mate.  keep going and trying I am. Ill be praying for ya.  Linda :)
Linda-2yr post AN 3-cm left side.  OHSU hospital , slow recovery for me. But then I had to have 2 surgeries with complications swelling of brain,

Linda,
I am so sorry to hear about your disability problems.  There needs to be some kind of coverage to help save people from all the financial disasters they are faced with along with health problems.  Someone said AFLAC, but only business can get that coverage for their employees and a lot of employers won't do it.  I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
