Like your father, I fight for what's right, what's a true entitlement. I have found renewed resilience by verbalising the outrage that I'm experiencing and so many others in Britain are experiencing. To enhance my outrage and to try to be a voice for those who think they are voiceless, I did something out of character for me, I also did a political posting. It outlines the fact that our government is targeting the vulnerable to pay for the mistakes of the incompetent fortunate.<br /><br />I appreciate your thoughtful words, dear lady.<br /><br />Hugs to you, my friend.<br /><br />Gary <br /><br />klahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4219984917795758890.post-16390286501432151872013-07-10T20:14:33.555+00:002013-07-10T20:14:33.555+00:00I'm sorry I'm late in reading your posts, ...I'm sorry I'm late in reading your posts, but that is why I signed up to receive them, so I would be able to come when the time was right. I'm sorry to hear of your stress. My father had to fight for four years to receive his benefits from the VA. He was a fighter and I think it actually helped him to keep strong and live longer because he had something to butt his head against, something to "win." I know you don't want to "be" where you are, but, that said, you are there. So maybe(?)it might help to remember you deserve the help you are fighting for and that perhaps this could be a way to help you not "lay down and take it," that this battle, because it is a battle, is there for a reason and that reason is you and that you are worth fighting for. I'm ending the sermon now!

Free from the point of service. Over here, there are rumours that this government wants to privatise our National Health Service. The issue here is the way this immoral government in Britain is targeting the most vulnerable in society.<br /><br />Thank you for your kind encouragement, Susan.<br /><br />Garyklahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4219984917795758890.post-28574760710931462332013-07-03T13:31:52.825+00:002013-07-03T13:31:52.825+00:00Oh Gary, that does sound awful.

You are entertainingly sociable, my friend.<br /><br />Indeed, we all have issues. In this case, the issues I keep trying to move on, I have to keep dredging up with the paperwork our awful government keeps sending so many of us. They are making the sick, sicker.

I love group hugs and giggling. I love walking my dog, riding my bike and chatting with people in line at the supermarket. I am not an entertainer but a social person who lives in the desert. All of us have issues. Trust me Gary, we both know the last perfect person shared his death with two convicts. The paperwork sounds horrendous. Stay calm because you're awesome.
