Travel pay ,anyone else having troubles,

I have a travel pay issue. The VA is apparently using the new system to not only confuse as many vets as possible but to withhold payment . I have a open request from 1-4-21 that has been in manuel review for going on 11 wks now.Is this a personal issue or are other vets having issues,too?

You know in my latest pipe dream

I can picture an unstable Trump painting mustaches on the portraits in w.h. with his own ka ka ( That's crap for all you less educated types). After all it is already running down both legs.

I have a personal story that I need to tell.

In 2015 ,the Drs. found a brain tumor. They put me on dexamethasone to control brain swelling and to reduce fluid pressure in my head. This led to a psychotic break on my part. The doctor reduced the dosage by 2/3. This relieved my mental turmoil.
This occurred in the cancer ctr.a t Wake Baptist
and the head of oncology dept. visited me daily with his bevy of ducklings. He told me he had researched the use of this drug in older patients and had found that my reaction was quite common and that the older the patient the greater the risk of psychosis
I was saved by surgery and the tumor turned out benign . I went through 8 mos. of rehab to learn to walk again but the worst of the post surgery was the steroid. I was on it for 3.5 mo.and it was harder to kick than cocaine. Every time I got to zero mg. my Brain would swell and back on it I would go. It was terrible!.

The moral of this story is that any one on this drug is unfit to work imho.
Also I m finally thru that episode and am eternally thankful for the life that the surgeon and his staff along with the rehab workers gave
me the chance to live.
YOU ROCK Dr. Laxton.

? Hard drive failure

My inspiron 660 gives me this info when I try to boot it up using my emergency boot files. My question is , is the computer history or can I get a replacement hd installed? and is it financially feasible?I have documentation for OS . I have done some research on cloning the drive but its too late for that,right? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

My purple parrot fish has died

oddly, he was solid orange.(I never figured that one out).His name is Dog, named by my granddaughter
because he would bite. She would stick her finger in with him and squeal time after after time.
He was 10 years old and the undisputed king of his castle and tank.
I inherited him from a friend who died from liver disease in 2010.
I am shocked to find I miss the dog who never barked. Swim free little guy!

Well,has anyone received their $1200?

I heard that the funds would start to be paid by the middle of this week?
I personally think Rump is worrying himself sick by figuring a way to hijack these payments into his personal accounts.

What was the maker share of

The State of the union last night.

I know that it was broadcast on every network and the cable news channels, but has anyone got the aggregate number.

I think that Trump should be referred to as

the "Republican President" much as the thugs use democrat in lieu of democratic. This would reinforce the idea that each and every republican is personally responsible for this hot mess in the oval office.

I want to start a pool

for the date that the Orange menace dons his own little military uniform. You know he is c in c. He is coming out more and more as is true self (a goose stepping fascist overlord). It is just a matter of time until he shows up with a chest full of medals and a riding crop.

But in lieu of comparing him to Hitler , he reminds me of uncle Joe- Stalin that is!😈
