I still have no clue about the CITIBANK lawsuit via their third party debt collector ALLEN ADKINS &ASSOCIATES as the trial date has not been set. Hopefully the fact that I wrote a multi page deal and documented the heck out of it with their own paperwork will convince the honorable Judge to see it my way.
No word on the social security disability. The only good thing about the pain doctor getting mad and dumping me as a patient is the fact that while the pain is sky high, I can think again. One does not realize when one is on the stuff what it is doing to one mentally. The fog has lifted and that is a good thing. And I now am not spending money on pain pills and getting lectured by the pharmacists. Of course, physically I can do even less now, (using a cane nearly all the time) thanks to touching new heights of pain so that is not a good thing.
We still don't know about the food stamps. It will be about a month this coming week (one of several unhappy anniversaries) and hopefully we will hear something. Despite calls, staff contacted seem to not really know what is going on with our case.
But, the power is still on, the heat managed to work the last four days and despite the flood under one sink and the fact that the dishwasher is going out (I think), I managed to get a little writing done for our next meeting. I seriously doubt if I will have it in me to attend, but time will tell. Considering it has been over a year since I submitted something to my local group and the fact that it took me two months to do what used to take just a couple of days, it is a huge achievement for me to get something in.
And though I am horribly behind and slow, I have managed to keep this blog going and my column in the Senior News newspaper. Those are no small achievements either.
Enough about me. The windows are open wide and the day is absolutely beautiful with temps easing into the middle 60s. It is a weekend late, but this is what SuperBowl planners had hoped for. Long range forecast has us in the 80s by the end of the month.
Thank you again for reading my blog and your support. I hope you are having a great weekend where you are.

I like your new attitude. I do hope you have found a lawyer or legal aide. Being right does not always mean anything in today's court system.
I continue to hope things get better for you and wish I could help more.
After they stopped laughing at how stupid CITIBANK / ALLEN ADKINS & ASSOCIATES was being knowing my situation, the lawyers I contacted wanted 2500 and up to help with the case. If I had that kind of money, I never would have gotten into trouble in the first place.
One of the many things I provided to the court was the settlement offer I made to CITIBANK last May. If they had accepted it, I would have made the small monthly payments as agreed and they would have had some of their money by now.
Instead, they chose to ignore my offer, sell the debt to the third party debt collector (which misrepresented their role, among other things,as I proved to the court) and then ignored the fact that my situation is far worse now than it was then and sue me.
I know being right and honest does not always mean anything in today's court system. But, I am hoping that it this case, it just might.
I am also hoping they come to their senses and accept my original offer and dismiss the suit.
And thank you for continuing to read my stuff and support me. It means a lot.
Keeping up with the blog and newspaper and your writing, along with the bank and the weather issues and all that goes with your troubled health...I'd say you're doing far better than most would.
Condinue to hang in there!
lol...I am trying!
