So, I finally got moved into my palace in the sky (4th floor) down by the river. Everything was going fairly smoothly until I started dealing with our Government. Social Security was actually not too bad if one can accept the hour and a half of divining their secrets of joining on line. Wow, talk about secret squirrel !
Now I have to go up to the VA, only 10 minutes from here, and after my visit there yesterday, the powers that be decided that Homeland Security should actually run my life, maybe because of my contact with Muslims. Well Muslims can't be that bad because their complaining now has 50 countries bombing the shit out of Iraq and Syria. Before we were evil dogs and now they beg us to bomb? Wallah this is muy loco!
I am deliberately going up there with out piece, and will take something to keep me sweet and compliant. Maybe if I smile and act submissive enough they will take sympathy? Ha, I am not fool, I do not expect this.
If you do not hear from me, I will maybe be in Iraq fighting for the Kurds?

Dealing with the VA
Best of luck with the VA. Last Tuesday, I managed a VA visit that would "expedite" my case. The visit was short, 20 minutes or so, of course the 20 minutes driving around their parking garage, and the 2+ hours driving each way to get there really sucked. So for my 20 minute meeting, I spent 7 hours of my day.
I am wondering what "expedite" means to an organization with people waiting 12-18 months though.
Sheesh, you know that Muslims
Sheesh, you know that Muslims are currently about as unified as christianity was during the 30 years war?
And yes apparently even US interventions are better than totally crazed fanatics. You only have a chance to die in bombings or when one of their soldiers was fed too much propaganda and wants to end some terrorists. Your husband will only be tortured a bit and not to death. Your son will only be killed when he's over 14 and not on general principle and your daughter won't be enslaved by the invading troops. And your chance of getting raped is far lower. Obviously US interventions are better than ISIS madmen.
What I'd love to know if they'd want Saddam back if they could get him...
