Hello Cat! Good um... morning to you!

Yes. Unky. It is still morning (for another hour). How was your day?

[Unknown008]

It was okay today. At school, we are preparing for the World Book Day. The ministry of education said that it should be a half day of useful activities. So, the language teachers are trying to make up a debate competition between the higher classes, and 'Brain's Trust' I think it's called. Then, lower classes will be taking part in poem recitation and essay competitions.

Apart from that, been learning some new things in Maths, mechanics more specifically about the forces on cars, lorries on the slopes of a road, masses hung from a pulley, etc.

Chemistry some indicators (to indicate pH, which is to measure acidity and alkalinity of substances) and theory behind them.

Then, on a last 'bad' news, we have been expecting a letter from the social security concerning my pension, as orphan (from my father) from the start of the year, but we never received it. My mum asked my grand mother whether they got any letter for us, but they said that no. She went to the office for the social security to have a form, but today, she discovered that the expected letter was on the table of the living room at my grandmother's. It was dated the 20th of January, and said that if the form was not filled within 15 days, the pension will be cancelled.

So, for now, we are receiving nothing and my mum is all so angry at my grandmother for not saying anything... My mum will be trying to get the problem fixed and to get the pension for the past three months, but nothing guarantees that they'll give the pension for those months.

Unky that is terrible, keep after them and explain to them what happened maybe you will get a person that will listen to you.

Good luck.

[Unknown008]

Thanks Stringer, I hope so too... that's so awful :(

[Aurora_Bell]

Hey Cat and Unky!

Glad to see you are getting some time to yourself Unky :)

[Unknown008]

Hey Bella!

Yes, although there's about 10 minutes left :(

[Aurora_Bell]

Unky, that is aweful! I hope you can figure this out!

[Cat1864]

Unky, I hope it all works out well.

Are you going to be part of the debate?

[Unknown008]

Supposedly in the French debate. Don't know what the topic will be yet though.

You see, I'm at ease with certain topics, and not others... so my 'performance' might vary depending on what will be discussed.

Thank you all for your support :)

As you already know, we give you any ideas and information we can on any subject they can come up with.

I think you will do great. :)

What's an Altenweg?

[Aurora_Bell]

[Stringer]

Hey Cat and Unky!

Glad to see you are getting some time to your self Unky :)

Aaaaah ummmmm...

[Just Dahlia]

Sorry to hear that Unky, good luck. If you don't get the past 3 months, will you be able to get it forward on?

[KISS]

Hey unky. In the same boat. Fortunately, I start a retoactive disability pension and health care including dental and drug coverage at the end of this month to Nov 2009. I had to put out nearly $6500 for prescriptions which will take up to 8 weeks to get mostly refunded. Out of pocket costs should be less than $400-500 anyway.

Health care isn't quite right yet for February onward, but Dec and Jan expenses are being adjusted. There is probably a difficulty in having two different plans from the same health care provider active at the same time. They were enabled at the same time too, retroactive to different dates. This probably confused them.

Meanwhile it's pollen season for me and there's at least a 30 gal garbage bag of the pollen I'm allergic to on the lawn.
It's also driving my Asthma nuts and the rain is causing a migraine.

What's an Altenweg?

It's German. It means "old way" or "old path".

I prefer Alty, it's shorter and easier to spell. ;)

[Alty]

Unky, sending good vibes your way. I'm sure it will all work out. :)

[Cat1864]

KISS, I hope you get to feeling better. :)
