I'm on Social Security Disability. That's why I feel like I'm out on a uncertain limb. I'm not of retirement age. I'm in my 50s.

I don't have a 401k anymore. I had to withdraw it early,and lost some of it because of that. I needed the money to have between the job,and the hearing. Then I waited 2,and 1/2 years for my hearing to either get it,or be denied. I got it with a judge,and other people present.

I'm worried that I could loose it. Then what could I do? ??????????

Truthfully,this scares me. This may be part of my disorder. I live with it all the time now. BF

Yeah, I'm glad we did away with TV at our house about 8 years ago. I'm typically oblivious of the news. I'd probably be nuts if I watched that stuff all the time.

Hi, Curly,

I grew up with no TV and not much radio. I read the news paper as a teenager. No TV is a different way of life. I don't know if I could do that now.

Instead of TV do you watch movies? Does your daughter watch TV at other people's houses?

M.

Mari,

Yes, we watch movies and old series like 'Little House on the Prairie','I love Lucie','The Beverly Hillbillies', etc, etc, etc.

And yes, she is allowed to watch TV when she goes other places. But she watches things like 'Little House' over and over...drives me bonkers

Dear Friend,

I am happy that you get social security.
The government will keep sending those checks.
I wish you had a good therapist.

M.

Dear Steve,

i understand your fears. i am a little younger but not much. it is such a relief to work again but also stressful... i don't know if i can hang on to it between the migraines and the moods. i lost all the money i had saved up, in two separate occasions of my life and i don't kow if i'd be eligible for the SSDI equivalent here.

i hope the bipartisan agreement being settled has helped alleviate your fears at least for now.

i want the best for you. you are in my thoughts.

(((hugs)))

I would like to mention one thing in public. In 1961,in President Dwight D. Eisenhowers farewell speech,he warned us about the Military Industrial Complex. He became a five star general before he became president.

His speech on the Military Industrial Complex is on Youtube. Now WWII was needed beyond any war that we've had in more then a century.

Once again I have the utmost respect for our vets.,and military familys. I went to a military academy. BF

Today we had a dramatic drop in the stock market. They said it's the worse since 2008.

They said it was due to Japan,and England adjusting there currency. The fear that the news is generating is one thing after another.

I hear fear,fear,fear,fear There is so much hype that it's really getting on my nerves.

Oh gosh. I just missed the 6:30 NBC News. I could have gotten the scoop in 10 minutes. BF

Just remember that when it drops it comes back at a later time.

Its okay, we will get it back.

They have to say they don't like what is going on.

This constant bad news is driving me nuts. They say that we have a lesser credit rating then we've had in over 70 years I think.

They keep saying things about social security,and this gravely concerns me.

I am loaded with anxiety. When I get a little relief, I hear things while changing channels on TV. BF
