LIFE...

Sometimes LIFE can throw you a curveball, rendering you like a scrabble game when the tiles get tossed from the box. LIFE for PWD can be full of acronyns; DAC, SSI, SS, Medicaid, Medicare, SOC, Pickles, PASS, overpayments, PT, OT, ST, CP, DD, ADA.  We become nothing more than numbers and acronyns to the politicians who don't have a clue as to how hard it is to live on 850.00 a month. And when a governor puts up barriers to his offices so that the krips can't block his front office door, that speaks volumes about our undesirability. For once in their lives those legislative assistants can know for a minute what it's like to have to go around barriers. Folks, we need to kick it up a notch, and let the governor and those who voted for these budget cuts know that the clock cannot be turned back, we won't go back to institutions!
