Good Morning Real Deal.

[SAMWolf]

Sorry to hear about "Papa".

[SAMWolf]

Which benefits did you try and use?

[SAMWolf]

I love looking at those ships, aomagrat. That's my mental image of a warship.

Thanks for posting them everyday.

College.
Like I said, I'm still not sure what happened. I never heard back on it.

Did you try and contact any Veterans groups to see if they culd help?

Bump ...

[Darksheare]

Well, I had applied for college before my step-daughter died. After she died, I had that BS with my Captain going on, so I was amental mess. It's been two years since then the 29th of this month.
And I haven't tried to go to college since, so the answer after such a long winded statement is no. I didn't.
Not sure that's what I want to do now.

[SAMWolf]

Well the benefit should still be available so when you decide, you should look into it again.

[Darksheare]

The initial problem I had with my unit was that information wasn't forthcoming about how to go to college using the MGIBill.
And then they liked to play games with people about it.
Based off of that, I'm tempted to believe my former Cpatain had some nefarious dealings with making my paperwork disappear. Wouldn't be the first time he's made paperwork disappear.
Darn I'm cynical about it.

[Darksheare]

Thanks for that heads up there about Veterans groups. Here in New York they like to do the least for you with the least amount of effort and work. So hopefully the VA groups will have better info.

The VA loan I almost forgot. In 1971,returning to CA from VietNam. I bought my first house. Nothing down on a $30K house. That nothing plus a lot of interest and taxes and principle, I kept rolling over and moving up until they finally passed a law not to tax cpital gains. You can figure out what...

[MistyCA]

Good morning, Kneezles! Hope you and Sassy have a great day!

[MistyCA]

Good morning! I spent my morning learning how to bleed radiators and increase the water pressure in the heating system! Fun, huh? LOL. These old, old houses are great! :)

[Darksheare]

*holds up crucifix*
Begone foul radiators!
Demon boiler spawn!

That how you feel at the moment?
