Hi there all you readers. Well, I was denied any Unemployment benefits. I was also denied any SSI benefits. So, I asked for a redetermination on Unemployment and called Sam about appealing my SSI decision.
Today I started my training @ the American Cancer Society fund raising job. It is only 16 hrs. and at $10 per hour. So, thats not much money but at least it's something. It's very hard to find a job in Michgan now days. I also have a prospect @ Jackson Natl. Life Ins. Co. I sure hope to hell that comes through. Better pay,great benefits and ful time.
By doing this job @ACS it will probably screw up my appeals @ the other places but I need money now. It could take 2 yrs. for a redetermination on SSI. I am not able to get food stamps because I refuse to include my partners income. They won't let us get married but they insist that I have to include his income because we live together. What non sense!!!!!
Starting over @ 54 with no marketable computer skills really sucks. I wish I had started takin training on puter long time ago. How are you to learn Access and Excell is you never use it. And why pay 80-150 dollars for a software program just to learn stuff? There must be a free site that you can learn that stuff on.

Well , Hello all!!!! I have been off work since May 11th, due to back problems. I am a barber and after standing about 10 minutes,,,,have severe pain in left butt and left leg goes numb. Same thing happens when I go walking. I looked all that up and it seems to be called NEUROGENIC CLAUDICATION. I am on short term disability through work but that runs out on Aug. 16th. In July I appled for State of Mich. disability......by doing so,you must also apply for Federal SSI/SSDI.....which is difficut to get. It can take 4 months before you here anything.....and 60%of all first time applicants are denied.........and an appeal taks two years.
Have had MRI-back X-rays and a doppler test. The neurosurgeon that I saw said that it was no big deal and transferred me off to his pain management doctor of who I will see on Aug.3rd. Made an appt. to see an Orthopedic doctor on the 7th. The MRI shows that I have scar tissue from a previous back surgery.......of which physical therapy will do nothing for. It would be great if I could find a job that only requires sitting with just a little walking. Cannot go back to barbering. So, don't know what I will do. Just know that it's boring sitting around all the time!!!!

another strange guy at the door

Yesterday...heard someone at the door saying "Hello...Hello" I went to the door and it was a guy that I have seen around town. Very good looking...dark skinned....30s. He wanted to know if he could change his underwear!!!! Not only change them but, make some new ones out of an old t-shirt. He did. Then he left.
Spiced up the day a little.

GREETINGS ALL

Hello Everyone,
Well, its been awhile since I last posted anything. But, here I am again.

It is finally warming up around here!!! The other day it was 65 but, today its only 39. So, spring is coming slowly. Can't get here fast enough for me. My friend Paula is still in the Virgin Islands. She went there for a thanksgiving trip and stayed for awhile. We have 2 new cats. The latest one,D. brought back from his mothers in Indiana. She is called Portia. She has a pink nose(the whole length of her nose) so, she looks like she is wearing a disguise. Her and Grins atre finally getting along better now. They chase each other around and sit in the garden window together. Found this pic of Vin Diesel...is'nt he just HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

pretty picture

what can I say? Just a pretty picture!!!!!

today

Hi there all. Hope eveyone is fine. My friend Paula went to St. Thomas for 2 weeks before thanksgiving and she is still there. Bought a new webcam for computer.....used it once to talk to a guy in Sweden. Other than that....just going to work and comin home.
Have emailed John a couple of times but no answer. Hope he is OK. His friend Angel from Chicago is to be here for the weekend. Hope they stop over.
Am sick of winter...but each and every day the start of sunset gets longer by one minute.....so the weather channel says. Soon, spring will be here....whooppeee!

I was told by someone in the know to increase my sodium intake. This is how I do it. Recycling at its best. And, besides.....it just feels DAMN good!!!
