this guy is always asking for something

i know i ask for lots of help, and you wonderful people have all stepped up and kept me alive.

i'm asking for more help.  i applied for S.S. benefits on monday. 

if you could please send some positive vibes to the  social security administration to help me get approved

if you repeat this out loud or just in your mind, i think they will all add up and get me that extra push to approval

here's the mantra

  --  social security administration- please approve otto for his disability claim  --

i've launched that thought, and if we all add to it , i think it will land in the right place


the gal on monday said she "thought " that i'd be approved,, so we need to push that thought all the way to positively approved

cancer seems to be the magic word,, and i'm not faking it.


it's a fund we all pay into each paycheck, i've been paying 38 years..


ok !!!!!!  thanks  for helping me again
