Na, you're probably a member of the invisible work force in this country
like me and the guys I work with. We get no help from the government,
heck, we've been turned away and told them to get screwed.
We work as hard as we can when we can in order to survive. My old Hippie
roommate was actually getting help from Social Security and
Medicare/Medicade or whatever the heck it's called and he died the first
part of this month. He walked out of the county hospital with an IV bag
of blood in his arm and was later found unconscious at a bus stop. He
wound up back at the hospital in ICU in a coma for a month before coming
out of it long enough to say goodby to his sister. He and his older
brother who died earlier this year because of the same self destructive
behavior now reside in their sister's closet in 2 rather small boxes of
ashes. The two idiots partied themselves to death with
drugs, alcohol and inhalation of the byproducts of combustion from
various legal and illegal substances. Me, I've never touched any of
that crap and my problems are due to accumulated injuries over more
than a half century. The damage adds up but I keep on truckin. ^_^


A Veteran I know was found dead in her rented home recently. She had
been trying to get disbility. She served at the wrong time to get non
service connected, and SS screwed her around so long that it killed her.
