Good good news!!

[bientot]

Social Security has finally accepted that I am a citizen! What this means: starting next week they will be paying me for being disabled! Needless to say, this is an enormous relief, after being without income since Oct. 22, 2009. I'm not going on a wild spending spree or anything, but I was finally able to reimburse the friend who's been buying me groceries for the last year, and I can start seriously looking for a refrigerator (while I was away to Escapade, everything in the refrigerator froze and everything in the freezer melted, and it's been making really alarming noises for quite some time now - dunno why, it can't be more than 40 years old!). And this is the year the roof finally gets replaced! And I can contribute to the Escapade scholarship fund instead of mooching off it! And....anyhow, it is time for general rejoicing!

That's wonderful and I'm sure and incredible relief. I know what it's like to be dependent on the incredible kindness of friends.

I'm so happy for you.

hooray hooray hoorarididdi-ay!

[bientot]

All of that and more - when will you be in town again so I can take you out to dinner???

[maribou]

Between the 19th and the 24th of this month, ACKSHUALLY. Since you asked and all. I'd love to see you.

Yay! What a relief! And I look forward to hearing what type of sounds the new refrigerator makes while it's settling in (mine made cooing sounds during the first few months, and a friend's mooed).

[bientot]

I'm not anticipating any barnyard noises, but anything will be better than the 'SST preparing to break the sound barrier' it's been making lately...I shall report, and hope it won't baaaaaaaaaa...

That's wonderful. It must be such a relief to get everything worked out like that.

[bientot]

SUCH a relief I can't even begin to say. Thank you - and hey - been missing you a LOT at Escapade - as we kept saying last week, "NEXT YEAR IN VENTURA", eh?

[meri_oddities]

Yeah, it's getting harder and harder to get out there. I just don't have the vacation time anymore. *sigh* I missed seeing you this year, too. Maybe next year.

YaY!

I've been feeling guilty for months that I finally got mine and they were still jerking you around.

Re: YaY!

[bientot]

Pffft - no reason for YOU to feel guilty! You are certainly deserving of all the support that comes your way. (The guilt belongs to the nameless blackguards who lurk in the bowels of Social Security attempting to ruin the lives of all of us!)

Wish we'd had a chance to talk at Escapade - maybe I can take you out to lunch or something?
