ORIGINAL: CountrySong some of the threads i have been reading have me wanting to dine on a plateful No doubt - I read what you said about the rehab/12 step/GED = child abuse thread. If I was not legally obligated not to talk about it I could tell you about some of the "abuse" that goes on in the disability system. Sometimes I just want to scream get off your butts and get a job! (Well one would think that if you can sit and play with the computer and video games for 12 hours a day then you should be able to do some kind of work? But, we would not want to abuse someone by making them do something they did not want to do!) *steps off of soap box*, waves bye to Phil, looks for ketchup for meatloaf You know, some of 'so-called' deadbeats would much rather be working than drawing social security, even though we may have paid into the system for 29 years, have mastered one trade that three neurosurgeons, two spinal surgeons and five different physical therapy evaluators have said that I can no longer do, unless of course I wish to further damage my spine and maybe give up walking. And at 47, I have not gotten too many bites at entry level jobs... and with a back injury I cant even find a job bagging groceries OR stocking shelves, something about liability. In case you havent figured it out, I AM ON DISABILITY, AND I WAS DOING MANUAL LABOR BY THE TIME I WAS 8 YEARS OLD, KIND OF COMES WITH LIVING ON A FUCKING RANCH.
