I GOT SIDETRACKED-- IT ALL HAD TO DO WITH THE CONCEPT OF CAN VS CAN'T
AND THE WORDING OF THAT I N OUR APPLICATION S WE RECIEVE
ON OUR INQUIRY ---- THERE IS A "DO YOU WORK... DO YOU DRIVE.... DO YOU VOLUNTEER?"
AND THOSE BECOME SIGNIFICANT ... NO ... YES...NO IS NOT THE ANSWER WE ARE LOOKING FOR...
"NO, I CAN'T, I AM DISABLED.."
. COUPLED WITH " YES I CAN DRIVE... BUT DON'T VOLUNTEER" IS A MOST UPSETTING ANSWER
THERE MAY BE LOTS OF REASONS YOU DON'T WORK-- SOME OF WHICHI HEARTILY DISAPPROVE...
LIKE " I CAN'T WORK OR I WILL LOOSE MY DISABILITY PAYMENTS.."
THAT IS SOOOOO MUCH DIFFERENT THAN
"I DON'T OFFICIALLY WORK-- BECAUSE I GET DISABILITY PAYMENTS-- BUT I DO WORK AND GET PAID UNDER THE TABLE FOR
A SIT DOWN JOB."
SOMEHOW, THAT ANSWER IS ACCEPTABLE TO ME...-- THE LEGAL MANEUVERS THAT MAKE IT ACCEPTABLE ARE NOT
SOMETHING OF WHICH I APPROVE..
THE PERSON WHO LOOSES A LEG IN SOME HORRENDOUS INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENT-- OR WAR....- WHO TAKES A JOB AS A WALMART GREETER BECAUSE THEY CAN NOT COPE WITH STAYING AT HOME-- HAS MY ATTENTION.
*****
I REMEMBER... CHANNEL 4 IN BOSTON ... IS WBZ-- AND THIER RECEPTIONIST WAS A GUY IN A WHEELCHAIR WHO ANSWERED THE PHONE WITHTHE ONLY HAND HE HAD THAT WAS USEABLE-- ANDHE WAS TERRIFFIC.. A BRIGHT GUY-- I HOPE HE WAS PAID WELL...
I CAN NOT TELL YOU HOW MANY ARGUENTS I HAVE HAD WITH DOCTORS ABOUT THE FACT THAT , YOU NEED YOUR MOST ASTUTE, EDUCATED PERSON (?NURSE) TO ANSWER THE PHONE AS A TRIAGE SITUATION... INSTEAD OF THE HIGHHEELS AND LONG FINGERNAILS.. GREETER WHO IS GOING T O PUT THE PHONE ON HOLD TIL THEY FIND THE NURSE ANYWAY.
***
HOW ABOUT A LAW THAT ANYONE "DISABLED OR HANDICAPPED" WHO TAKES TEH JOB THAT REPLACES THE "PLEASE HOLD" RECORDING MAY HAVE THAT JOB TAX FREE IN ADDITION TO THEIR DISABILITY. PAYMENTS..
NOW THAT WOULD BE PROGRESS...
***
MAKES ABOUT AS MUCH SENSE AS A LAW THAT SAYS IF YOU ALTER A NORMAL GUN TO MAKE IT AN AUTOMATIC RIFLE THEN IT IS SUBJECT TO THE LAWS OF AN AUTOMATIC RIFLE.....
***
DOWN WITH THE COULDN'T -- SHOULDN'T ... WOULDN'T.. MENTALTY SO PERVASIVE IN OUR EDUCATIONAL /LEGAL...SYSTEM
******
OK SO I BOUGHT 25 FENCE POSTS TO POUND IN PLACE... TO STRAIGHTEN OUT THE VERY UNACCEPTABLE "TURN OUT AREAS" FOR TEH DONKEYS... AND IMMEDIATELY I GET EMAILS ABOUT " I WOULD LOVE TO HELP BUT I CAN'T POUND POSTS..."
OK..... SO COME HERE ON SUNDAY AND HOLD THE POSTS WHILE TANNER STARTS TO POUND THEM...
WHEN I MOVED IN HERE .. I POUNDED 5 A DAY THAT WENT AROUND THE PUPPY HILL AREA- I REMEMBER IT WELL...
HERE IT IS A FEW YEARS LATER, AND I BET I CAN STILL POUND ONE... AROUND COFFEE BREAKS, BUT MAYBE...
THOSE LIFT AND DROP LEAD PIPE THINGS MAKE IT EASY... NO SLEDGE HAMMERS INVOLVED... THOSE ARE DANGEROUS...
OBJECT BEING TO GIVE TEH "BIRTHING STALL" ROOM UP ON THE HILL WHERE THE DONKEYS OFTEN LIKE TO SUNBATHE IN THE MORNING..... WHILE ENABLING THE TRACTOR TO REMOVE THE MANURE BY SWITCHING A FEW GATES...

RUSHING..
