Good to hear from you, Mae. Please let your friend know there are folks here thinking and praying for her speedy recovery.

Where've I been? Well, last night went to watch the Peoria Chiefs (baseball team) beat Burlington, Iowa 5 to 3. It's too bad IAKG isn't logged in, I could tease her. :)

Watching the Blue Angels practice. They only had three up today and they didn't do much, but it was still cool to see them flying around.

Freezing in my office.

I feel your icicles, Aqua.

Dang Oldfart, you have a long reach.............and I wouldn't let Lilith find out, she might get jealous.

Icicle check! You boys line up and I'll be glad to check all protrusions ;)

Now my long reach is needed.

Down here at my girlfriend's place for the weekend.

Bowling for my friend's b-day. Now my forearm doesn't seem to want to work correctly.

At the show, then late post-gig dinner at El Minuto.

Actually, we've been home since before noon yesterday and I was in bed until an hour or so ago. :boink:

I have been sorting my life out and choosing paint.

Well right now I'm under FWM....... yeah....................... i gotta BIG smile on!

taking MHS#2 shopping for BTS

Just been goofing around inside today since church this morning and breakfast with friends afterwards. The temps have been near 90 again and so going out didn't seem like a "fun" idea :shrug: .

Is this terrific or what with FWM posting today. Great to see you home again at Pixies. :wave:

Still at my girlfriend's place, but I'm about to leave for work.

Thinking in the present of a past I will miss all my future days.

I was reading my emails and moving all the junk mail to spam. :shrug:

As usual ... over in the Smut Games. :boink:

So, even though my doctor said I could do that type of work, my body proved him wrong.

So, it's off to get an disability lawyer and go that route, unfortunately.

Personal experience tells me that that is SOB (standard operational bullshit) for getting disability from the govt. Few years back, I went thru the same nightmare; about 2 1/2 yrs passed between initial claim being filed & winning my appeal, couple more months for the first check. At first I thought that they assume that if your disability can't be seen, it doesn't exist, but a cousin actually lost an arm in an auto accident, & she had to lawyer up as well :huh: Really?!? These guys don't even see there's nothing there past the elbow?

Anyway, SF, here's hoping you have at least as much luck as I had (too late to wish you better luck :frown: ), but here's a happy thought for ya: if/when you do win your appeal, they have to pay you back pay from when they should have been paying before. Nice little lump sum to get.

Of course, it's gonna be 3 months till you read this, but hey...

Too many things to do and not enough hours in the day lately

Actually, not quite, scotzoidman. I needed to do some internet research, so I managed to get the use of a non-public computer for a while.

And it looks like the lawyers that I have are right on the ball, as they called me the same day I applied through their website, and then twice more since then to get my medical history and to inform me that they have definitely accepted my case (and gave me a case manager) as well as give me advice and let me know what I need to be doing until I can get a hearing with Disability

It's not much a big step in the right direction. From here it looks like you've had some decent news for once.

Funny how school brings a frown from adults as well as children.

Wine country--just got back today.

Watching some of my favorite skateboard pros* from back in the day compete in a concrete pool!

*Notably Lance Mountain and Steve Caballero

Me too. Specifically, in bed until a little while ago. :boink:

Work, Target, a gas station, home, and then the gym.

At my calculator. ;)

Considering today's school year is about 8% more than it was a few decades ago and the innovations and developments we were able to make in the last half century, today's students will be giving you so much a better life and world, right? …………………..right? :blink:

After they learn how to count change :)

Isn't that amazing. It'd also be nice if they understood the concept of reading and writing. And, I'd like to see them be able to identify who our first President was or who was buried in Grant's tomb. :faint:
