I really appreciate the offer rebel. The only thing I'm low on is Lab13. I don't know if it would be worth your trouble for half a roll. I only use it occasionally so didn't think I wanted much.
Can they do those injections where it will make her look like she did the day you married her? If so, it might be worth 2-300. Bad joke, I know, but it was the first thought I had when I heard botox.
Rebel I feel good for your day, but it's one of the reasons this situation is so frustrating. I'm looking at a guy that, in all likelihood won't be here in two years, has malignant brain cancer, two brain surgeries and two rounds of chemo and radiation plus seizures and , most likely, a stroke and he's still battling getting coverage.
Now for the good stuff. As messed up as I was over all this yesterday and this morning, today is turning out alright. First, after I run to where Justin is having his therapy at 2:30 and pick up his driver's license, registration and title, I'll have processed his VW dieselgate claim and have his payment of nearly $16,000 for the car started. This couldn't be working out any better if it was scripted. My live in and her sister's ex are going to look at the van tomorrow and if they like it, we'll proceed to getting that bought and plenty of money will remain for any unforeseen fixes. I may have to lay the money out to buy it, but I'll know repayment will be in the near future.
Then while I was on the phone with Knot (Justin's wife), SSA tried to call me(left a message) and called them. He explained the dismissal and that it won't effect their original claim date, just that they'll have to resubmit a claim which is outstanding because he was working from my letter and will now have all the medical stuff that I'm sure they didn't have. Plus, knowing his condition, I can't believe it won't get approved immediately this time around, avoiding waiting on a hearing. At least that's what my possitive self is saying to me. Hey, I have a contact name and direct phone number now and he has permission to talk with me. What could be better?

My oldest daughter is in a theater in the park production of Willy Wonka this weekend. I'm not looking forward to sitting outside in the 80+ degree weather but I always enjoy watching her perform.
Roth, maybe they could take a little junk out of the trunk while they have that injection needle handy.
Just kidding. I'm no Mr. Universe myself.

The VW dieselgate buyback is a godsend in this case. They're getting nearly $16k for basically a six year old car with 87k miles on it, paying $7,300 out the door for a 2001 mobility van that has 35k miles on it so there's plenty of money to deal with any repairs that might come up plus purchasing a ramp that will get him from ground level up to their three foot high door.
Unfortunately, it looks like most of my plans for deck work is going to go on hold. The money I earmarked for my projects is going out for the van until VW pays out. Hit a paperwork snag when I found out he put a '16 purchase date on his claim rather than the actual '11 date. The only thing I could figure out was that his mental condition caused him to use the date he paid the car off rather than when he bought it.
I don't see why they couldn't just correct it in the claim. I gave them a copy of the title which shows the purchase date. Delay, delay I suppose.

The longer they can keep the money, the more interest they can make. Also they probably think some people will give up eventually.
Not this time, they have a bulldog defending those unable to defend themselves. One of my strengths and weaknesses, focus and commitment. My weakness is establishing focus and commitment to things. My strength is that once established I become very focused and committed.
I took my daughter's car in yesterday and got the wheel bearings replaced. She said what I did, that it drove like a new car. I think it gradually got worse over time and she didn't realize how bad it was.
That's not surprising that she didn't notice being a new driver. I had a Bravada that I never noticed when they were going bad but even replaced it didn't feel much different. Perhaps had they both gone bad at the same time I would have but first one, then the other went.
Got the new drone yesterday and what a world of difference. It looks like the blades from the original one are exactly the same although I haven't weighed them yet. The batteries actually are easier to get in and out of it and the camera is better. I took it up above the house which I wouldn't have thought of doing with the one the gf bought. With all the trees I'm not brave enough to let it out of sight. The return window is too small to chance it and the trees are just too high for the range of the controller. I need to get it out in open spaces where I can test the range, both height and distance. From what I read WIFI is only about 50 meters. I ordered a controller from a different model which is supposed to nearly double that range for $10 but that will take a while to arrive.

I have a hard enough time avoiding planting it in the trees around her without trying to take a picture too. lol These toys would have been much more conducive to flying here when I first moved it. One thing you learn when you live in the woods, the woods find you as an intruder and want to reclaim its territory. It's actually pretty amazing out it is constantly trying to fill in the open space.
I think I solved an issue I've had with decks and animals that want to go in and out of the house to use them. The cats destroyed the screen on the slider off the bedroom and I had bought a cheap screen door for the front that I built a doggie screen door in the lower area because I got tired of flies living in the house . When the new door was installed, I started looking for something that would look better than the HD pine one that needed replacing. The choices were pretty expensive or very expensive and they still might need alteration. Then I found these-

I put them up and after a bit of training, I've got a cheap alternative to the problem.

I've seen advertisements for those before. I wondered if they really worked like the commercials say they do.
They seem to be sealing up better each time I exit or enter. What I liked about this vendor is that they have a lifetime guarantee and the comments showed that getting it honored was no issue.
Yes, there are magnets down the middle and somehow they find each other, animal magnetism perhaps.
We've had the magnet screens for a couple years. Sure beats opening the storm door every 5 minutes while the princess decides if she wants to be outside or inside. This year I upgraded to the single heavier panel on a heavy spring rod. Worth every penny.
