whether I agree with the various wars we have started or enter is not the point. we need to financially support veterans and their families, period. Not to do so is a complete abrogation of our responsibility as citizens.
There may be a tiny fraction who exaggerate their disabilities, but given how behind the VA is in distributing funds for vets, I don't think anyone is getting a windfall. Do these chowderheads know how much $$ vets actually get?
On the larger applying-for-disability front, the recent This American Life on that was interesting, I thought. It took forever for the person doing to story to realize that if you can't do physical labor (or stand all day for your job), there are a lot of places where you effectively can't work. So physical problems that she wouldn't have thought made a person fully disabled do, in their world. One woman being interviewed said her dream job was the person who approves (or not) the disability claims -- because that was the only person she knew who sat at a desk all day to do their job.

SOPHIA. Scroll down to see that Matthew Gray Gubler is apparently dating Taylor Swift???? [link]
Ditched work early. Told boss it was cramps. Didn't feel like going into that it was the other crap that comes with that time of the month: inexplicable depression. And work was void of any coworkers to talk to in order to distract myself. Thought about going to a movie, but figured I'd hate it given the mood I'm in.
It didn't help that the first thing I saw when I got in was one of the planters torn apart, and it was very much
not
deer damage.
Vandalism comes to town! And at the doctor's office the evening before there was anti-semitic gang tags on the wall of the stairs.
To be fair, I would probably stalk Matthew Gray Gubler on Facebook if I could.
yikes, in trying to get the cut powerline issue fixed we had surges coming in and resulted in melty plugs in powerstrips and smoke. DO NOT LIKE ELECTRICAL ISSUES. DO NOT WANT FIRE. I kicked off switches with my shoes and yelled for people to GET THE ELECTRIC*IAN TO TURN STUFF OFF.
now it stinks.
