    Hi Cakesey!

    Na, I’m not doing crafts or retail right now. I’m editing encyclopedias right now, for change. Although, I have been studying gemology for years now and I could thin my cut gem collection to some jewelers out there, at wholesale. But no crafts.

    I don’t quite get the emporium. I looked in it, but there is just another discussion thread. No pictures, prices, or online shop. Please fill me in? Thanks. I do know other family who craft.

    I’m just glad that you and Lyn are alright after the tornado. I want you to startup a fund for buying you guys a shovel so that you can dig out a basement. Okay? Stay safe.

    Love your line about qualifying for Social Security just in time for the end of the world. That’s just perfect.

    Love, Kenny

    I'm just now starting to learn how to do the PM e-mail thing. Please forgive me if I didn't answer you back, Loveone, and Shameless and others.

    Hey Spud. How do you get that Sagittarius in to your Edit Avitar space? Can you tell us? I can't figure it out.

    Thanks.

    Zev,
    Get yourself on over to the SSA. Sign up for SSI /disability/social security. I would try SSI first, you get medicade and a check. In texas they give 780.00 a month and food stamps plus three scripts a month. Earily retirement wont help you bc you wont get medical for two yrs on earily retirement. Disability, you have to fill up the 'quarters just like unemployment benefits but do get medical right away. Also check out the social services at the hospital you go to.

    I'm signing up for food stamps today myself. I got my application in the mail saturday. I also have an apointment with Texas Rehabilatation Commission at 3 pm this afternoon. They are gonna get me a greenhouse/supplies so I can start my produce biz.

    We can take up a collection as Kenny suggested but it wont come near to what you need. What do you need Zev. We are here for you brother, we will do what we can for you.

    I think we should have an auction. I will donate two necklaces/earings/braclets sets to the auction. Thats well over 100$. We can auction off anything, whatever we have that will bring in some $$. I'll ask Skip to set us up a place to have the auction and post pics of what is to be auctioned off.

    We can keep this auction page up for future needs also. When one of us gets into a bind we can hold an auction and help a brother/sister out. I know everybody has stuff laying around that could bring in a few $$.

    That's something we could all do without hitting our pockets. It's in the Doing that things get done..Could I have a consensus on that plz. Give me enough rope and I will lasso the stars.

    What do y'all think, can this dog hunt.

    Love is the most precious commodity we have. Money is just a tool.

    Lovin' you all

    Hey Chris,
    Yes I do remember when you were very ill. I was so worried about you. I have prayed for you many prayers of love and healing. I am heart full of giving energy and believe in self healing. It is good that you have got a hold of this demon and shaking it loose.

    I will contenue to pray for you and all my brothers and sisters. Thanks for all that you do.

    Lovin you

    Hey Kenny,
    OK, Good Earth Crafters Emporium. When ya go into the emporium you'll see my store and Spuds store. There are URLs ( in blue) that you click on and will take you to our stores.. pix and prices are there. Silly Kenny didnt click :D

    I just pmed Skip and asked for an auction page for GE.. I dont know when he'll pop in but I'd think today sometime he will show up. I think this will work for us. We can have it up all the time and put the $$ in paypal or something and distrubute when the need arises. This will be an emergency fund. The need would have to be genuine, like Zev's and we all would have to agree on where the $$ is spent/sent.

    Consenses PLZ.

    Yeah Mary, I still can't find the store. If you go to the left hand column and click on " Good Earth Crafter's Emporium" you just go to another bulletin board space.

    So, how do people really find your stores? Seriously.

    Yeah, so I just hung with Rita and Ranger and a friend, Anna, who's cool, 10:30 a.m. till about 3:30 p.m. this Monday 5/3/2010. How cool it that?

    Rita looks great. Ranger looks happy, but has turned white just like Gandalf the White. Rather than looking like (Ranger — Aragorn) who I always thought he looked perfect for, way better for the Ranger part then Viggo Mortensen, who got cast for the part. Though, Viggo Mortensen seems like a cool guy to me. Too.

    Anyhow, we had fun, and yakked about everything. Not just the old times but everything. I hadn't seen Rita since 1978 and then just briefly, GE '73 before that. Ranger, about, '96 or '97. Long time. It was wild to see faces and to be in the presents. Way too fun. I envy any of you who are really going to Mouseman's. So cool.

    Chris, Rangers says that they do have a plugin transformer for a cigarette lighter, that they've had for a long time, but that the old van didn't have a cigarette lighter to plug it into. The new van does. Cool. See! I told you all that God works in strange and mysterious ways. Their old van had to die first, and they had to go through all of that Karma just to get another van that had a cigarette lighter! See. NOW ALL IS REVEALED. Isn't God mysterious? Its all somehow logical. You just have to start learning to think a little more like God thinks.

    So cool.

    Anyhow, I was lov'in it all. Friends are what the world is all about. The best entertainment in town. Just Love it!

    Nails;
    ` I've gotten the asparagus and red tea etc. First session went fine. As to SSD l'll call you in the next couple of days to discuss it. I already get SS payments that are more than the SSD BUT I also have to work as an attorney and musician to make ends meet (many won't pay me off the books). If i get certified disabled I'm not sure I can make it. I will be checking with an expert in the field and then I'll talk to you.

    Kenny;
    Thanks for asking. I am going to need a bit more than spare change but I'm not sure how much. (The radiation therapy is a bargain at $6,500.00 that I don't have). When I find out what the total is going to be on the chemo I'll let you all know and make a Plea for help. I've always been an exception to the rules so now,in a continuation of that personality trait, I'm the only poor Jewish attorney in NYC.

    My greatest hope is that this is all done by Oregon Country Fair time.

    Zev,
    Give me a call during the day if possible. I go to bed earily, usually by 9:00.

    I know that in some cases that you can get SS and SSI at the same time. If you can prove that you cannot make it on SS alone,,,,, esp since you have the cancer and your med expenses are going to be astranomical. If your on SS, you must have taken earily retirement as not to have recived the medicare benefits.

    It is totally redicules to have to wait two yrs for medical when you take earily retirement bc most of the time that's why you take ER for medical reasons.. How Stupid and backwards is that?!?

    The trip is, get on SSI, at least apply. Under the circumstances you should be eligible for services. IDK how the system works in NY but in Texas you can draw both SS and SSI.

    BTW.. Something just popped into head so I'm suppose to tell you to take PAW D'arco, get the Raw Herb and chew it, it will taste nasty but remember 'It's Medicine' and is suppose to taste nasty.

    Chewing it will release the 'medicine' directly to the cancer in your mouth.

    My sister Lynn was/is doing a remedy with cottage cheese and flax seed oil. You take 1/2 C of cottage cheese and add 1 TBLS of the Flax Seed Oil take a hand blender and blend it together and eat it. You can put fruit/nut/berries in it also. You eat that everyday for a week and then you add more Flax Seed Oil, adding till you get up to 1/2 C of oil to 1 C of cottage cheese.

    My sister was on this remedy for 4 months while doing chemo. When she was restaged after the 4 mos of chemo her tumor had shrunk and she went from a stage 3 to a stage 2. Her doctors in Houston decided to do radiation and chemo pills. Two months of radiation. Sister stopped doing the Cottage Cheese and Oil during this process bc the chemo pills made her sick and she could get the stuff down. She has a hard time doing pills at all anyway.

    After the radiation therapy, back to Houston. Her tumor had grown and she had tiny lessions in her lungs. They put her back on the Gemzar( IV Chemo) and she has gone back on the cottage cheese and flax seed oil. She will do 3 more months of the gemzar and then back to Houston.

    Why I am bringing it up is, the Cottage cheese and oil seems to be a factor in the tumor shrinking and might be something you want to try along with your chemo. It will not interfere with any of the treatments they have you on. It FOOD, total nutrition.

    Well I didnt mean to take up so much space but there it is. One more thing :) If you could get a Singing Bowl and do a meditaion thing with Tones/Frequency it can also get you ontop of the dis-ease and can disbruse the negitive ions that have invaded your cells..

    OK.. I am really done this time.. or am I?!?

    peaceout

    To Make Kombuchu Tea.

    In a Clean glass gallon jug make lipton tea (4 large tea bags) and add 1 C of sugar and mix.. Cover Jar with cheese cloth and set in a cool dark place. Let set for 3 weeks. There should be a 'mushroom formed on the top by 3 weeks. Remove the mushroom and place in another gallon jar of tea. Strain 'Tea' and drink 3 cups of tea a day. It taste ok..

    Blessings

    Zev,

    I already danced this dance, and was turned down. Cancer in the left eye, and legally blind in one eye. Choroidal melanoma. NO. Waited 6 months for a NO. Then a 3 month appeal and another NO.
    Does not qualify. I’m not disabled. I’m not blind in both eyes. If I had this one eye plus something else (another condition) that added to this, it could aid in debilitating me, then perhaps I could be labeled as disabled. And any disability does not qualify unless the doctor expects it to be permanent or to last at least over one year. That’s what I found out.

    I don’t know which is which. Whatever.
    Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Program.
    or
    The Social Security disability insurance program (sometimes referred to as SSDI).

    I recommend that you read in-depth ssa.gov Find the very well hidden section on what really does qualify as a legitimate disability with these people (the SS), first. And then add something else to cancer in order to create some case that is even more debilitating. Then go forward.

    Read the web site first. You’re a lawyer. Study the site.

    I would very highly recommend going and interview with one of those organizations or a lawyer that specializes in Social Security claims. Go interview and ask what “actually qualifies”. Just cancer, does not. Go find out “what” before wasting 6 months, like I did.
    Social Security won’t tell you what qualifies, before hand.

    Best of luck, my brother.

    Ken

    2 questions.
    Went does the Obama New Med Insurance thing start in?

    Can you get free med in Israel, France, Norway, or the U.K.? I’d buy a ticket.

    I can tell you that being blind in one eye and needing heart surgery togeather don't get it for ya. Kenny you may remember when Ferra needed a new heart valve when we were in San Pablo and they told her that if she didn't get it she wouldn't live a year so she didn't qualify.
    Mysterious are the ways of the ruling class!!!
