Rules and Determinations

Just for the record, here's some fun facts.

Yeah, I know I am a boat-rocker. That is nothing new. Anyone that knew me 30 years ago up to now can tell you that.

The fun facts are that if you live in Kansas or Missouri, you ARE NOT DISABLED  when:

1. You run two or three red lights per day because your brain is on another planet.

2. You take three psychotropic drugs per day. These drugs keep you from having panic attacks and claustrophobia, but the side effects suck just as much.

3. You have chronic arthritis in two primary places (elbow and fingers) and can do half of the things you used to do just ten years ago.

4. When loud lightening or large fireworks boom, you are up for 2-3 hours looking for a rifle and set of armor that isn't there.

5. Crowds scare the living fuck out of you.

6. Big dogs render you catatonic.

7. You have dream like seizures during the day while you are at places like Walmart, your car, at the Doctor's office, or out fishing at the lake. These have durations of 15 to 45 minutes.

These determinations are made regardless of 545 pages of documentation from three therapists, two psychiatrists, and two military officers over the rank of Lt. Colonel. There must be people at the Social Security office with the IQ of Galileo Galilei or Stephen Hawking.

Have a great USA day!
