Correct Rusty. I'm not sure when Medicaid changes to Medicare. This is why the worker's comp attorneys are dragging their feet on any settlement with my knee injuries. Once I turn 65 (2 more years), they no longer have to deal with paying me future medical costs for new knee replacements. Mine are already wearing out and will need a recap in a few years.
Since I was on soc sec when they finally decided that my autistic son was disabled, he has Medicare and he is 22
Fixed my riding mower today, Heat index is right at 100
My friend's fiance's sister is on Medicaid and social security. She's mentally disabled & can do some work, but she can't do skilled labor & has difficulty understanding things. She can't do math, count, or budget. I think some of it is from her mother drinking & doing drugs while pregnant, but she also was raised by career foster parents & never completed high school. Her adopted mother is a complete piece of garbage & nutcase.
Went to the nearest Sears (which is closing forever tomorrow). They haven't turned a profit since 2010 so they are shutting down 60+ stores. They've cut a deal with Amazon for online sales. The store was almost completely empty of stuff, but I found a long-handled screwdriver with a handle for extra torque that was normally $50 and was only $10. Then we went to Texas Roadhouse with my mother, my friend, his fiance, and my brother. My friend needed something to cheer him up and the trip helped.
My truck had the check engine light come on and the message said "check emissions". Stopped at my friend's workplace & he hooked up the computer thingy- something about the vapor canister purge valve solenoid being bad. Not sure how that happened. Friend asked if I gave the gas pump an extra squeeze after filling the tank. I didn't since I use the automatic cutoff thing and don't want to overfill, but somehow it shorted out. His store sold the replacement for $117 but rockauto has it for $69. It's just a matter of the labor though. Need my airbag recall taken care of so I need to go to the dealership soon anyway.
Can't remember if I mentioned it, but when I woke up this morning one of my cats was on my pillow petting my face with his paw. He was just stroking my cheek. It was adorable. He's a complete douche to all of the other cats, but he's very sweet to me.

Love the roadhouse .. Ate at a lot of them around the country .. The one in Myrtle Beach sucks ..
Yeah, I've found that some places that are good in one area will suck in another. The Roadhouse here is pretty good, although it was a rough night for the employees. It was packed and one of the managers accidentally bumped in to the tray a waiter was carrying. Plates & bowls crashed to the floor and broke. Manager looked pretty upset, but he helped the staff clean it up, checked the ticket, and had to go apologize to the customers.
My brother got what was supposed to be a 20oz steak but it had a huge chunk of fat and gristle that must have been about 3 or 4oz. My mother complained and said it should have been treated as a 16oz instead (but my brother tried to tell her it wasn't an issue for him). The manager saw the amount of fat and agreed with my mother so he took $7 off the bill. The sweet potatoes we got were pretty terrible but we decided not to complain since they already took $ for the steak. Still better than the last time we went to Black Angus.
The Thai restaurant I used to go to is now completely gone and the people who bought it have opened up a little Asian market. I miss my friend Vorn, but I don't know what became of her after she sold the restaurant. The shop that is there sells some nice things-- we got some Char Siew sauce mix (in powdered form) and my brother used it on ground pork to make char siew pork. Usually it's used on a different type of pork, but it worked on the ground pork. It was even better when mixed in to fried rice with a little Hoy Hsin sauce added in. My brother fried up an egg with it. Next step is to find some good veggies to add the next time my brother makes it. Will have to get more packets.
I was up most of the night reading my father's memoirs that I finally found on my computer and got the right program to open. I'm trying to figure out how to convert it to a different format so it can be opened by programs on the web. It's over 160 pages. I was up until 5am reading and then had to go to sleep. I normally can read more than that but some of it made me emotional. The info he had on his adventures in the Army is really interesting. He describes the gear, the uniforms, the ranks, etc. He had some humorous stories and some sad ones mixed in. Mostly funny ones though. He took the test to join when he was 16, joined very shortly after turning 17, spend a couple years in Thailand, and then shipped to Can Tho in Viet Nam.
If anyone is interested I can share a few of the short little tales on this forum.

What program did you to open it ?
Apache Open Office. Apparently it was written in WordPerfect. It was a free program.

Lumber yard has everything at 20% off today. Bought 2x10s to replace the floor in my trailer.
Lumber prices here went through the roof starting in January. Too much building going on because of the crappy economic forecast. 
Bought some 2x4x8's a couple months ago. $5.08 each

That is cheap here .. They are getting $2.50 for a 8' cheap 2x4 ..
In my area, a 2x4 stud is running $3.68 a stick.
I have Windows 7 Ultimate for OS and I do not have Office. I had it on my old computer prior to upgrading & I can't find the installation DVD. I think it slid under my bed somewhere. Probably covered in dust bunnies. LOL.
