Next weekend this one is off on Saturday!

Ooh, being off on a weekend is nice.

Five more days till payday and you know what that means!!!

You get paid?

Yep I do get paid Zangief. . Indeed I do by SSI due to a mental disability from head trauma I sustained as a kid. Used to be seizures but now I suffer from debilitating migraines though I still have seizures from time to time IF they get triggered.

Sounds like no fun at all!

It's not specially when a full blown migraine hits. Ugh---feels like a small stroke TBH . But on the bright side this Friday I gets a new gun/rifle or rather carbine. I'll post it when I get it.

I was on it because my left eye doesn't work and I've got a mental health condition. They cut me off right before I moved. I'd been collecting for 27 years. Took 12 to get on it.

My condition has not improved, yet they think I can work. They might try it on you too. Just be careful. I don't think the government likes SSI much as a program.

Did they cut you off because you moved?

Migraines? Yikes! Something else we share in common. I've been getting them since 1981, several months following my 30th birthday. I'm one of the lucky ones in that around the turn of the century my primary care manager referred me to a neurologist who eventually prescribed a semi effective preventative and an all but ironclad breakthrough ender. I still have to watch my diet like a hawk, as a good number of foods defeat my preventative. Messing up my neck, as happens on occasion, can trigger a series of episodes too, until it corrects itself. I tend to get them seldom these days. A major flareup during 2017 (I believe) when I auditioned an ultra yummy salad dressing. It triggered a series of days-long episodes until whatever in the dressing was at fault finally left my system. Later that year I auditioned a new (to me) bread, which thankfully triggered only two episodes.

I was never given a disability, but for years considered myself an off-again on-again invalid due to them.

My cousin got me some oil called Past Tense which combined with coconut oil and Excedrin Migraine really works great.

Heh, is it hemp oil?

No but I have tried Hemp Oil which helps as well, depending on the blend.

No, they deemed me fit to work.

With no depth perception, a left eye that doesn't work and severe social anxiety, among other things.

The jobs examples that they gave me with the decision were also laughable. It was stuff that just doesn't exist in rural PA. I didn't appeal because I was moving. Had I appealed and gotten a lawyer while I was at it, I'd probably have won the case. They don't expect you to fight back most of the time.

I wouldn't get payments while I'm over here. It's entirely dependent on my residency in the US.

Best part, the mental health care over here is absolute garbage and I pray I never need my medication adjusted or to see a therapist. People wait months for therapy and then they wonder why the suicide rates are whack.

That normally why I keep my activities to a minimum, I've been through the program to get on SSI disability and it wasn't fun as they ran me through the ringer which caused me to hemorrhage slightly, I can't put to much stress on my brain or else I get really bad nose bleeds and VERY severe migraines to the point of getting sick. Head trauma is no bueno.

Much as I suspected, I started this day snowplowing for 45 minutes. Not complaining though. It's fun to ride around on an ATV, especially on a new one such as this and whilst getting paid

Every so often they make you see specialists that determine if you're eligible still. For me, this was every 6 to 10 years.

Had I stayed in CA, my doctors would have fought their assessment. Sighs.

Hate dealing with doctors.


Need more Gangnam style.
