WELCOME EVERYONE!

We are at "Chapter 9" for our Grumpies thread now as #8 had 436 posts!!!

I kept meaning to start #9 but then something would come up and I'd forget. Good intentions gone missing!!! LOL

While hoping that we all have a minimum of grumpiness in our lives, go ahead and take a rip if you've got a grump!

I'm not grumpy yet, I'm just checking out the new place, so that I'll know where to come when I am.

Pru,

I will leave us all a bread crum trail to get back here.

Thats wtat i do at MALLS and if i stick to the walls ,wear my tin foil antenna, AND

FOLOW THE BREAD CRUMBS....I find my car every time. Its a amazement.

If we didn't have family, this could have been my husband and I. Part of the delay for us getting my husband's disability temporarily raised while he recuperates is because so many young people are returning home from Iraq with severe disabilities. And I don't begrudge them their right to go ahead of us in line one single bit.

Yet, at the same time, in my head all I can see is some bureaucrat shuffling papers and going for numerous smoke breaks instead of taking care of business.

This is an outrage...is this how we treat our military? Apparently so.

And this story is ONLY about the Army! Imagine that this is happening throughout all the branches of the military, because it IS. I can attest to that.

Thanks, mock, for startng no. 9 for our milestone group, The Grumpies!

Della, sorry about your back pain, and hope that the chiropractor's next treatment will help! Also, that's tough, with your husband's benefits hassles, and for all of the other vets returning from Iraq and Afghanistan; trying to deal w rules, regulations, paperwork, scheduling treatments,etc. Hope it works out for you all.

Dyslexic, thanks also, for the tips on how to find our cars when out at the mall! Believe it or not, one time, after a very long, hot day touring Baltimore's Inner Harbor with our kids and two friends, none of us could remember which parking deck we had parked in! This was about 9 o'clock at night! FINALLY, one of the kids suggested a different place, and we found it!

i am a little bit grumpy cos i posted a comment on a thread full of argument in the hopes of bringing peace and one big fathead had to use my post as a springboard for more dissension. i feel like sending the person a kick in the ass. but wont. i have stopped receiving alerts and wont go back--some people just like to fight!
