May 2017

years ago i worked for a cap agency and some the reject stories was heart wrenching....

funny story about rude awakenings.....
my wife had leukemia and i as i usual am....was in denial about her chances for survival while that fact that she was toast was painfully obvious to any and everybody....Anyway....first time claims were(are?) routinely denied...So when Dear Barbara sailed thru and got disability the first time thru i had to admit that damnit..my wife was really sick....
