The last 4 years have certainly been rough for me.
However I am pleased to announce that my life has a brighter future than before.
I was informed in November 2010 that I was eligible for "Non Service Connected" pension through the Veterans Administration.
Like all government services the VA is no exception and after 5 months I was informed last Friday that my claim was approved and my first check was on it's way.
It certainly was very frustrating for me to wait to get my life back.
I look forward to seeing my grandsons again and of course morphing more pictures!
I am getting a new laptop tomorrow or the next day as well as a external HD to put the thousands of morphs on that I currently have on this current laptop.
I want to thank all of my fans here on the BEA for enjoying my morphs!

I just wanted to write an update as to my situation. I have moved into my new apartment on May 2nd. It was a lot of work and I needed a few days rest before I started morphing again. The only drawback is that these apartments do not have a washer/dryer in them and I have to take a bus to the laundromat since my car was repossessed during my homeless period. I did lose some items during the move and only had one broken item, so I consider it a a successful move. My birthday is next month and one of the great things about that is it will be my 60th year and I did not have to be at the V.A. Medical Center for it. You may send money to me so I can buy old man stuff. |

It has been over a year since I have added to this thread and what a year it was!
I found out that I can collect both my V.A. pension and Social Security disability pension at the same time. Because of my hip problems, I don't go out much, but I have to get a ton of paperwork signed and validated for the SS disability.
When this gets all done, I am going to take a trip to my old home town of Pittsburgh plus go to the area we moved to in 1963 - Southview, PA.
Sadly I have other news which is not so good.
A few weeks ago my daughter was arrested on drug charges in GA. My youngest son notified me of this then it was 2 or 3 weeks later that the same son told me his sister got probation and rehab.
During that 2 weeks I tried several times to contact my oldest kid to see if he had any updates on his sister. I also had complained to my youngest son that I never get any info on the current events or on my grandsons.
It came to shock to me when that oldest son, in public on FB, stated "I wish to apologize for not being able to be a direct link to a family that barely knows you or at most times resents you for always playing the victim. frankly we have had enough of your passive-aggressive, self loathing behavior. My siblings and I have done fine w/o you for most of our lives and will continue to do so. We don't need a father who is the constant victim."
I never saw myself as any sort of victim and all I would have liked was some sort of communication with him and my other 2 kids. Where he got that other crap is beyond my comprehension.
Well I was hurt and all, but not angry, however I "unfriended" all of them on my FB account so I won't be accused of being a victim or whatever else they dream up. Negative people just piss me off and it is best to stay away from them.
I have found that I get along and communicate better with bikers, veterans, and other non-family people.
Other than this little bump in the road I feel great and thankfully I have this computer and other social outlets to pass the time with.

To cut your youngest son even the slightest break, is it possible that's he's pussy-whipped? I was pussy-whipped myself for a couple of months circa 1990 and the brainwashing is staggering to look back on, the right (or worst) woman can twist you all kinds of ways. Because if he isn't ... well ... I'm non-family myself (not exactly by choice, it's just sort of where I've wound up), Z-man, and I'm sure others like myself will continue to appreciate you. |

Zorro, I don't know what that stuff means, either, although if we can't loathe ourselves a bit now and then, we only leave the task to others.
Just one thing to add--Who you unfriend is your business, but I make people earn it on their own, I don't take anybody's word for it. I have an exe who was very good at telling me who didn't like me, until I discovered that it was really her, mostly.

It is so sad when your own flesh and blood are the ones who plunge the knife into your heart. I kinda know how it goes. After my parents divorce in 1972, after 25 years of marriage and 4 children ( the fifth one was stillborn ) , I always remember how my sister and mother would both say the most god awful stuff about my father and I had a very hard time reconciling the monster they talked about with the man I knew. Considering my father never hit my sister that I know of, and to which she admits to be true, while sternly disciplining the boys, my sister's vitriol toward him is dismaying and confusing. I love both my parents and I took care of my mom after her stroke for 10+ years ( I don't recent it at all. The thought of her in a old folks warehouse was/is stomach turning to me. ). My father is almost 90 years old and he constantly wishes he could reconcile with my sister when we talk on the phone. I feel for you and I want you to know that you are not alone in difficult family drama.  |

Well, here it is the day before Thanksgiving and I finally got all that damn paperwork signed, notarized and will be leaving in a few minutes to catch the bus and get to the post office to send the package on it's way.
I figure it will take about 6 months to a year to get it all approved and I believe it works just like my V.A. disability in that it will be retro-active back to the date it is filed with Social Security.
Hopefully I will be able to put a nice down payment on a new motorcycle and move to an apartment complex that allows pets!
Now if I only had someone like Rose waiting for me!

I prefer to use the rare, exotic term "old". I'm old. And bitchy. |

The paperwork was rejected by Binder and Binder because of the time it took to get it all done.
These assholes wanted me to re-submit everything.
I emailed them and told them thank you very little and fuck you very much.
In June I will be 62 and I'll file for my regular social security.

In June I will be 62 and I'll file for my regular social security. If you redid the papers and got accepted, would that status carry on past 62, until the age when you get FULL benefits from standard SS enrollment? (65, 67, whatever it is for you.) And would that, as I suspect, be more in the long term than taking permanently reduced benefits at 62 instead of waiting? Would receiving Social Security Disability until you reach full-benefits age be more than what you'd get by starting at 62? (Factor in those six months of getting something instead of nothing, and assume you live past the full-bennies age unless you have good reason to think you won't. For non-elites 71 or so is a good bet; that the rich can expect to live an average of four years longer is probably not news to you.)If you plan to be here a good long while, I'd guess the hit in later years from filing early in June is worse than the lower amount (I assume) SSD would get you now. That's information you need to know as you choose your best course. If that's the case, you could be foregoing a lot of money because some idiot burro-crat got you mad. I'd suggest you get revenge instead: make them be crystal-clear on what the 'deficiency' was; satisfy it; push to make them accept the original submission date as the effective start-date (but don't jeopardize the new claim just to get a couple of extra weeks out of them.)Math can be hard, but Kansassippi-dumb is harder. Dumb isn't something I'd have pegged you as being. If nothing else, I'd want those six checks enough to insist on them. Go get'em! |

There are lawyers that are local that work with this sort of thing.
Since I already receive disability from the Veterans Administration, I have time to see what is the best bet for me.
Here's a morph to also check out.
