Lawyers


So, our situation is a little tight right now. My Short Term Disability ended mid-April so we are living on a little more than half of what we have been used to. My Long Term Disability has been denied and I am appealing that decision. Of course, if I do not succeed I will have to hire a disability attorney. Not looking forward to that.

There are so many people in the same situation. Trying to get the benefits they feel they have been promised by their employers, trying to get Social Security Disability benefits. Some have spouses out of work too. People are just trying to do the best they can to survive, financially. Not so easy.

It was almost 90 degrees yesterday and more of the same to come for the next 4 or 5 days. Time to get the furnace turned off and the evaporative cooling turned on. Kind of a pain in the neck, really. Twice a year one must pay almost $100 to have one turned on and the other turned off. Wish we had central air and heating - one of the things we plan on changing if we can -- costs a lot!

Joke for the Day: Two kids were deciding what game to play. One said, “Let’s play doctor.” “Good idea,” said the other. “You operate, and I’ll sue.”
