Thanks, Victoria.
Afraid he already had said "Good night mommy" to me - and then posted #626 when he hadn't seen my response..:)))

Take a look at it!

Thank you, Mayor.

[SAMWolf]

Hey! You laugh just like my wife!!!!

[LadyX]

I'm sorry, Nan.
Was only aware of the musician I saw you describe one night.

[RadioAstronomer]

OMG, Now that was bizarre! LOL

Yeah the leg massage was pretty racy stuff for the Canteen.

You suppose you could manage a foot massage for me?? It's hurting a bit because I've been chewing on it so much tonight.

[Victoria Delsoul]

LOL! I see what you mean.

[Mr_Magoo]

LOL!

True Story:

My sister is one of those positive thinker types. Years ago she went to see A Man Called Horse with her BF. During that scene where the guy is hung up, she told her BF that if you keep saying "It's gotta be fake". You will see how fake it is.

Her BF sat there saying . . .

Its gotta be fake . . .I'm gonna be sick.
Its gotta be fake . . .I'm gonna be sick.
Its gotta be fake . . .I'm gonna be sick.
Its gotta be fake . . .I'm gonna be sick.

Awwwwwww, you are so sweet. (Cute too... I think, but it's hard to tell with those dark sunglasses...) ;-)

[Victoria Delsoul]

Hey AC, where did you go?

[Snow Bunny]

You are so kind, thank you.

[WVNan]

I know. I talk about him more because he's the baby and he lives close by. All the others moved far away. My son and daughter both live in Boone, N.C. Hubby had a girl in Toledo, one in Mobile and a son in Houston. He has 6 grandchildren. I'm not a grandmother yet (haha).

[MistyCA]

LOL!!!

[DoughtyOne]

I'm wilting. LOL

[Jen]

He didn't know the secret human password, so I don't think he is who he says he is.

OK, I'll be armed just in case.

[SAMWolf]

LOL! Let me see that foot.

ATTN: VETS
DO NOT TRUST THE VA

This past Feb the local VA Clinic told me they could not treat me for a serious eye infection because I was not in the local system. They made me go 90 miles (one way) to the nearest regional VA center. The regional center could not treat me and sent me (after making an appointment for me) to a local private eye clinic. This required a 2nd follow up visit, which the VA authorized. The VA told me at the time as long as they (the VA) authorized the visits they (the VA) would pay the eye clinic.
NOTE It took the VA almost 3 weeks from the 1st time I called them to actually get me to an eye clinic that could treat me.
NOTE2 At the time of my enlistment I was guaranteed medical care if I ever needed it.
NOTE3 In Feb I was told the only way to get into the local system was to get a physical at the local center and was advised the waiting period is just about one year.


TODAY I received a bill for the full cost of the eye clinic exams and treatment with a note that said the VA would not pay and I had to pay the bill.
So what the VA did was to force me to go to a clinic they picked and then stuck me with the bill.

I guess someone decided that since my Las Vegas based personal business (and only source of income) is all but destroyed by the events of 9/11 and the recent terrorist threat to Las Vegas on 7/4 that this would be an excellent time to stick me with a bill that the government was supposed to pay.

Now if I was an illegal alien or owned a large corporation the government would help me.

But I'm just a vet and a small business owner so the government has no help for me.
