Jennifer is Right
Yes, Jennifer, I don't post enough. I guess I have gotten too interested in other things. That is good, right. But then I also really like the friends I have here. So here is an update.
I am now officially considered officially over 50% disabled due to Agent Orange exposure while in combat in Vietnam and related diabetes complications. Truth is, I flew into a lot of areas where AO had been used. Two good friends had been on my case to register with the VA and get evaluated. I finally relented when they said they were gonna drag me into the office against my will. I am glad they did, because I immediately qualified for a host of programs, and some compensation.
All I have is diabetes. My one friend is a triple amputee, and my other friend has a long laundry list of things including diabetes and heart disease. I feel a little like a thief, because they have it so bad that I think they deserve it and I don't. They think I am being a dumb ass. Wouldn't be the first time.
Why is it that whenever we update someone it is always a dreary update. Maybe things like still married, or my feet feel pretty good today are things that aren't so fun to share. All in all, my life is good, so I guess I am entering a boring phase.
Not working, and quit looking. I retired from the Army 20 years ago, the state 6 years ago, and my private business one year ago. I think it is time to actually retire to being a better grandfather, or father, or husband, or golfer, or voyeur. The old man is here, and I am going to work on the "dirty" part. I am getting the "crotchety" part down.
I guess I would take a job if offered, but nobody is beating down my door.
My friends here on Live Journal are incredible. There have been several marriages, two divorces, a number of babies. Pet adventures, sandstorms, Hurricanes, politics, sexcapades, and illnesses. Just like real life. I have LJ friends on 4 continents.
I have missed you all. And if you made it all the way to the end of this post, I miss you even more.
