We went to Fudruckers on way out of Mesa, and stopped at Famous Dave's in Yuma,AZ. Ribs were okay. Nothing like the ones I make; but I forced myself to chow down on them. Dee stayed with Carter while I went to San Bernardino for my retirement board meeting. He's enjoying himself at his table. The board almost had mein tears when I left. I was asked to explain myself on why I felt I was disabled. I spoke for about one minute when I was interrupted, and told the information was not pertanent. Someone made a motion, 1st, 2nd, and I was no longer considered to be there. I didn't even get a chance to stand up before I was disc'd and they moved on. So, we basically drove over 500 miles so I could be treated like a old piece of meat, and trown to the side of the road. On the bright side, I found out that not only was I approved for social security disability, my case went to reconsideration, and benefit was backdated from November 2009 to June 2009. That is supossedly unheard of. So, again social security states I am too disabled to be employable. VA physician states same thing. Snotty people at board of retirement didn't have time to hear me out. Nice. We are staying to see our grandchildren, so the heck with them. That's a good thing.
Sorry! I would write a letter to the local newspaper outlining the events as you did in the blog. Embarassment goes a long way. Hey! We miss you guys! Already.
