Good morning, friends and fellow CoSoNauts. I could use a little extra reason to smile today- help a brother out?

Memes, video links, I don't care. Just need a joy refill.

@Ironworker229 @LnzyHou That's the plan.

Fuck these motherfuckers- time to bring out the big guns.

.

I still miss my ex all the time.

Really need to get the ol' rifle sighted in. 😁

@Oma_Trisha I just can't with these government programs sometimes.

@Oma_Trisha Guess not.

Someone needs to start making some noise. It's a campaign year- let our voices be heard!

@carmen At least we could give Puerto Rico statehood without changing the flag.

The hits just keep on coming.

The Affordable Connectivity Program, through which I have been getting my phone and web service, is "winding down" next month.

At least I still have my sanity. That's good enough for me. Yes sir, good enough for me and Helen and the chickens. 🤔

@EileenKCarpenter @LnzyHou I think I know where they tripped me up.

Asked questions about my function, which I took to be about the physical stuff (since I already had a mental exam) and I answered solely about my physical disabilities.

@LnzyHou @EileenKCarpenter Got to grease the wheels of the justice industrial complex somehow, I guess.

@EileenKCarpenter @LnzyHou Definitely did not have the option of my own doctor.

He was the one who got the ball rolling by giving me a letter of disability, so I guess I had to see a shrink in a strip mall and get my X-rays retaken in a chiropractor's spare room.

Goddamn government hatchet artists.

@LnzyHou @EileenKCarpenter One of my old therapists was a procter for the decision process and said pretty much that I would qualify after a bunch of hoop jumping. I knew it would happen but dared to hope.

@stueytheround I knew it was coming, but still... This hurts.

@LnzyHou First one on this claim. And no; not yet.

@vo1de Also there's a fart in the bubble 😁

Well, the letter from SSDI was, of course, a denial. Apparently I am not quite disabled enough.

I guess I just need to find an employer that doesn't care if I can't show up for a few months at a stretch. I never knew it was that simple.

Dark thoughts here. This was basically the last lifeline.

@NaomiSkarzinski It is.

On to the next step- getting a lawyer.

Well, I have some mail from Social Security on its way here.

Almost certainly it's a denial.

Then it's on to the next steps. 🙄

Fuckin Ron DoesIncest.

I hope he shits a pinecone out of his pisshole.
