hey guys- it is Thursday-getting closer to the weekend!
Thank you for the hugs and good thoughts on the job situation. We spoke to the lawyer handing the Disability case yesterday. Gary asked if there was any way we could put a "rush" on our hearing. It typically takes 12-18 months to get a hearing from the time you file. We started this in Aug 08. He was told that the only time you can request your hearing to be moved up is if you
1. Are in foreclosure
2. Cannot afford your medical treatment and that the result would be *terminal.*
Even then, they rarely agree.
How insane is that? Its like the system completely works against you!
I had the same issue trying to get food stamps- they won't give you food stamps in NJ unless you have less than $2000 in total assets- including my kids "college funds" They barely have that inthere ATM, but it will come back and I am not about to take that away from them just for a $100 a month. Thank goodness my family helps out with bringing up food and the kids get the free school lunches. But seriously- we are trying so hard *not* to become a statistic, but they seem to want us to be one.
Anyway.....
Thanks D! I think I am going to start swimming to you on Sunday- it is supposed to rain until then.... don't want to get "extra" wet :lol:
ME-- LOL at Christian- cookies-- mmmmmm!
Hi Dawn!
Kristin- you'll have to take pics of your quilting progress. And if you need help- I know Sally is an excellent quilter too.
Yam, Happy Belated B-day to your DH! I am so sorry about your job loss too. It is just so hard-- I hope that you can find something. I am guessing Argentina's economy isn't much better than ours
Karen-- good luck with your busy month!
Mmmmm Donuts! Thanks Merkee-babe!
Sally, you new website looks FAB!!!! And you inspired me to put F-W's Apothecary up as a business on FB too. That is on my to-do list. Thx!
And have I ever told you how you crack me up? Christmas cards on April fools? You are awesome!!
Lia- Oooh I loooove Sue's word art too- she rocks!!! Happy anniversary!
Stephie- thx for the recipe! I used to do a lot of baking with whole wheat flour. A mix with other flours is usually better- not quite so dense. Also I would throw in grounf flax seed and wheat germ. If you are allowed in that diet, try that! Also can you use splenda? A bit of Splenda in baking works good too.
Clara- OMG- whata day!!!! You know I am so with you on the insurance thing.... and referrals and drs that have no clue! ((((hugs))) and I hope that things work out.
I picked out the card yesterday and the actual basket (actually, I bought 2 baskets to see which one everything fit better in )The card is gorgeous! Very earthy with an eagly flying, like a painting! I'll try to scan itso you can see. Today is getting the tea, I have to hit the health food store to get empty capsules for one of the kids' med's. They need to dissolve in the lower intestine so I have to double seal them. And they need 1/2 doses so I have to open up all of the capsules and divide them yay.
oops, sorry! Back to you! Hope that you had a nice time with your friend!
And never stop writing- I love reading what you have to say!
Tali- I am guessing that you won't see this but if you do, I amthinking of you!!!
Hi kelly!
Sara- I wish you could hire me too I am so happy that you had a great day!!!! That makes me happy when my freinds are happy!
And Dawn- do you feel like you have a toddler in the house? LOL!
And that is all I have time for now- love you all!
Have a great day!
