Hi PamelaJune,

I was not referring to your post but to a post from KWolter in NEW YORK, in the USA.

I just did not want anyone to be confused by the regulations that were being stated as those in the United States. Maybe KWolter was not referring to US rules but that is what I understood. That is why I was asking him/her for clarification.

I am sorry that you are ineligible in Australia due to means testing.

Sometimes I forget that not everyone on NT is from the United States but I made an assumption that KWolter was talking about US rules since he/she is listed as a New Yorker.

I am sorry if I have made things more confusing. Thanks for the info about Australia.

I am in California, I am only 40. I spoke to my boss, my co-worker, my husband, my friend and my mom. They all thought it was a good idea, and I know I'm really bad at scaling down and asking for help when I need to.

I put it in an email, so it's in writing, that I'll go ahead and do it, temporarily. Got the email back from them acknowledged. I've been on disability before, I know I have plenty state disability that will cover me for an extended period, like I think up to a year. I've been here 6 years so I would qualifty for FMLA if that's what it should be. I'll find out today.

Sigh. I had a great trip this weekend. I'll post seperately so you can all get some warm snow fuzzies.
