Re: anyone on disability?

"so i will have to find a niche somewhere. if i get a good enough tan and dye my hair black, i can get a job under the table almost anywhere!"

Just come back to Arkansas, the poultry industry has the don't ask don't tell policy. And I own a few acres and have a spare outhouse and a pretty good spring. I also know where there is a shell of a trailer along a river bank, the former squatters are in the pokey for their attempt at free enterprise-a meth lab.

On a more serious note, I found out that "alternative" treatments don't cut it with the disability folks, not even something as mainstream as Chiropractic care. Of course, my lawyer hates my Chiropractor and vice versa, but that's the price of living in a rural area. I am not a conspiracy person, but it does seem like the medical/legal/ and pharmaceutical types are all in bed together. I am always being told to get disability, but I tell people I want to work and to get well naturally. I am considered a fool by many of the people I know. Although I do not believe that a truly disabled person should be ashamed to be on disability, and I am disabled right now, I don't want to be a part of the system. I know a family on the other side of the ridge that is five generations, all on government subsidy. My Grandma used to shake her head at them and say "nice enough folk, but they ain't right bright". But they are savvy enough to live off my hard earned tax money and y'alls too.
