Yeah, I know the drill. This isn't the first time, and won't be the last.

I am doing fine. I have been on disability since Oct of 2014. It does not pay well, but it is better than no income and being homeless. And it is steady income. When I had my last accident, there was not much I could do in the job industry, so I filed. Had to be turned denied once, but after hiring an attorney, it was approved. I think they automatically deny everyone just to prolong the process. If I had been able to make a living delivering vehicles, I would not have filed, but I could not make enough money a month to live on. My mistake was not starting earlier, when I first got the settlement check. I needed a few month's expenses to rely on while I built up the business, and didn't have it.

Morning everyone.

Jim, I know I should apply but we do OK on what my wife makes and the contract work I get here and there for comp work.
I just know there has to be something I can do that will allow me to keep working.

Well, in your case it does not make sense to apply for disability. I did not have a back up income. So I had no choice.

Jim, that's true. I am hoping one of my work from home projects will take off soon and start producing a steady income.

I never had any luck with work from home jobs. However, everyone is different, so I wish you luck.

Painful as always. I was looking at the bolts holding the bed on and feeling discouraged. I originally thought they were torx bolts.
I was wrong. They are phillips bolts. Really, WTF?!?!
