I have the whole wall of records thing going on in my apartment that I think would fit right in with your tin foil.

Well, I got the appeal ruling in the mail today about my unemployment, and was denied.
Not being able to walk, stand, sit or drive more than an hour at a time, at this point at least, I'm not allowed unemployment as you must be willing and able to work. I'm willing, but not able yet.
Tried to emphasis that I can sell on the phone.
I've written my attorney and am anxious to hear what he thinks.
My physical therapy hasn't even started yet.

Sounds like you can apply for disability instead

Was watching the news earlier and they were talking about the growing threat of ISIS. I think there was a lot of arrogance by Western countries when they invaded Iraq but there wasnt a great deal of thought as to what would happen in the vacuum of power that emerged.

Spent my first night in a hospital since 1964 last night. The infection I've been fighting finally got bad enough that I needed a couple of IV bags full of industrial strength antibiotics. Gotta say that, even though the folks at Tacoma General treated me like a king, I am not anxious to go back any time soon.
Cei-U! I summon my own comfy bed!

Glad you recognized that it warranted a hospital visit and that you're now healthier for having gone. Don't you scare us like this again.

Yeah, hondo, really aggravated on your behalf about the unemployment situation. I've been there a couple of times -- was denied the benefit after being fired as night editor in Little Rock because it was "for cause," then had my benefits terminated here because I was foolish enough to report, in my naivete, the $200 I made during one period as a freelancer for a business newspaper.
