Thread: Show-me Account Talk

It has been awhile. Lungs are slowly closing up my end is more near, I had a very bad morning. I have a CT on June 6th to see what is going on. They know, they just want to see it and get one more charge in the ledger. No pitty party please, it is what it is.

Pulled everything into the G fund as the wife will not know what to do and I am growing tired of it all. Called OPM and they have not touch my disability retirement case yet, but I did get it escalated and the direct number of the person that will do it and was told to call them right away. Not bad. Cashed out my living benefit from my life insurance and managed to WIN my VA disability claim with back pay. So the wife is completely debt free, including the house and a nice chunk of cash in the bank. I'm so glad I selected the 5X multiple when I started to work here but I knew I had cancer when I started too.

Plan ahead and save everything you can because there won't be people come running out the woods with bags of money for you when you get sick or unemployed. LOL

Sorry to hear this. Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

You're a good man Mike, so it doesn't surprise me that you have been a good provider as well. My prayers are with you.

My prayers are with you and your family as well. You make us proud to have known you (even as little as we get to know one another hrough this site)!

All the business is taken care of, good job Jim, I hope I can do as well as you. Stop by when you can you have a lot of friends here.

Best to you and your family. They are lucky you are such a good provider.

Show-me, you truly are an inspiration!

My heart is in pain - you will always be a friend of mine.

I've known this to be the reality for 15 years and I have stolen about 9 or 10 years according to the statistics. At one point two years ago we thought it was going into remission but instead it mutated. The irony is that life event set into motion years ago have all come together in the last few week. The blessing is that the wife will be okay.

Being a part of this mb has run the gambit of emotions. It has been a pleasure to watch the mb grow and take part in the discussions. If I have angered anyone during that time you have my deepest apology. Thank you!
