Good Bye, and Good Luck
 

I am selling my computer, and high value stuff today. The VA has screwed me over again and I can no longer pay my bills. I have until Monday to come up with about $1,500.00 or all my utilities will be shut off, and I will be evicted.

All the years that I have been suffering with this disease, and related conditions has used me up I am gonna make sure Keryx has enough money to keep going and can find a man worthy of her.

I am going to do what all disabled vets do push a shopping cart, and get drunk and if I am lucky I can die and leave the world better off.

LOVE and THANKS terry

This seems a drastic course of action, Fargon! Good luck. Don't public libraries have free internet access so you can check in once in a while? I wish you all the very best ...

Don't do something rash, fargon, even though you feel like punting everything right now. PLEASE don't go get drunk---it'll only make you feel like shit in a few hours. Isn't there a church or emergency organization you can turn to?

Well it seems compasionate conservatism, isn't. :mad:

Sounds like YOU'RE the one that needs the luck, not us, fargon. All the best to ye.

Just remember, she already thinks you're plenty worthy. Hope things get better for you, fargon.

Not to be harsh fargon, but giving up/quitting is not what us Vets were trained to do. Hang in there. It will all work out. Good Luck.

fargon--sell if you must. Sell what you must. It is just stuff after all. But don't quit. Don't give up on keryx, and most of all don't give up on your self. A break is ok, but not permanently. It'll be ok. I don't know how or when, but I've never been disappointed yet.

Good luck on that and on your new computer.

Hang in there man. Please don't do anything to hurt yourself.

Don't give up, fargon. Do whatever you can to find the resources you need. At the least, contact your Congressman's office. The local offices of state and US Congress members have staff who are very experienced at dealing with red tape from various agencies. If your Congressman sits on certain funding committees, it is even more likely that the VA would listen to him.

Fargon, I hope you are still reading this. There are agencies which will help you with your utilities. Charities will often pay a month's rent for a person in emergency situations suh as yours. I assume you are drawing VA benefits. Have they tried to stop your payments? You can fight them on this, just like Rich says. I went through hell fighting the VA for my Dad, but we won. Also, you may qualify for SSDI. Please don't give up and get drunk. I volunteer as an advocate for the disabled. If you want, please PM me with more specific details of your situation and I may be able to give you more concrete suggestions. Good luck, soldier!

Protecting the soldiers my ass.

I have an old IMB notebook that I can't get to work. Crashed on me some time ago. Anyone out there service computers for a living.
If you can get it to work I'll give it to him.
Just gotta' find it.

WTF you talkin about, Jeb?

Probably the V.A. :(

rkzenrage, I can't claim to service computers for a living, but I've got two laptops that the family gave up on, thinking they were beyond all salvation, so they gave them to me like they do with everything thats busted ("here, you can have my *cough*trusty old laptop! and for your sister... here, we ordered this for you a few weeks ago, a brand new dell laptop!"), and lo and behold, I got them to both work well enough to use... If you have a general idea what's wrong I might could help you with that.

When somebody can serve the country and get screwed over in their later years it really doesn't give me the impression the soldiers matter.

Hi Folks, Im still here. Sunday nite sombodt taped an envelope with $1,000.00 to my door. none of my freinds knows any thing about it. Keryx seems to think that it is Karma.

Yesterday a check came in the mail for $750.00 from a company that I did some contract labor for 2 years ago. I am amazied and humbled by my good fortune.

I want to Thank You All for your prayers and good will during these trying times. Terry & Becky

:D

fargon, I am so pleased that things worked out. Hang in there, brother! somebody up there likes you! :)

I'm so happy to hear your good news, fargon.

Fargon, don't go too far, hey? Glad you're still here ...

Yay!

Fargon, can I borrow ten bucks? :lol:

Cool, Fargon! God sent you an "angel"! I've been sent a few folks in angels' wings myself. There are STILL good people in this mean old world. Glad you got some help!

I am so glad that I can back to my mean conservative self.:)

I've had mysterious (and not so mysterious) benefactors when the chips were down, and I always feel blessed that people exist who are willing and able to lend a leg up.

We'll keep sending out good vibes, man, and you keep your chin up.

I think I put too much on it... not sure though.
PM me and I'll try and find it.

Still looking.

I missed this thread totally till just now. Yikes, and wow! I hope your luck continues to be positive, and I am glad you are able to stay!!
