Re: [TMIC] Cold Upstate
We're losing, folks; The time is well nigh past when we can get out of our depression ourselves. I fear we will be a shrunken nation in future, with good roads and neighborhoods for the rich and the rest of us forgotten except insofar as we can nourish the plans of the wealthy. I see no hope for it, unless someone like FDR appears, one who has the right instincts and a true feeling for the peopleall of them, and who also knows how to wield the levers of power. Otherwise, we await a general awakening in this nation of morality over ideology, and empathy over envy, and service over greed. But as I remember the plagues visited upon Pharaoh and his people, did it change his heart? And they blindly followed him over the abyss. Then, and only then, was a better society built.

Re: [TMIC] I haven't been here for a long time
John I am glad you are getting some relief from your pain. I also stopped Neuronton (gabapentin) as it was doing absolutely nothing for me except cause me to gain some unwanted and unneeded pounds. I can't see putting stuff in your body if it doesn't help. I will hope you continue to feel better.

Re: [TMIC] I haven't been here for a long time
PregabelinLyrica; That what's works for me. And I did put on the poundsabout 20 of them. But I sleep better and can forget about the pain for hours on end. It is harder getting up from sitting, and walking is a bit harder; but with the pain down, I can actually think and do things with my mind, impossible before since it took an act of great will to push the pain down enough to do anything useful.

[TMIC] spouting off
Hi, I hope no one is offended by the comments I am about to make. Why isn't there housing for handicapped people who are not low income? All the handicapped housing is federally subsidized and there are limits to what you can have for an income.My income is too high for one person and leaves me unable to live in any of these types of housing. Why can't there be a set number of apartments that I could pay the full rent myself to live there? Once my house is ready to sell,I don't know where I'll find an apartment to move to with minimal stairs. I know many of you are having a hard time due to lack of money and help,and that I am very lucky,but it is so frustrating. Cheryl
Re: [TMIC] spouting off
Candy, I can do laundry since I have a laundry room right off my kitchen. My ex husband mows my lawn and plows the snow. My oldest daughter and her husband are doing my house over so I can sell it;they come here on Sat. or Sun. ,and do some cleaning too.. I just feel that I shouldn't be punished for having a good income from my pension and SS. Housing should be available for me.
