Thanks Jo...I spent all morning waiting for my appointment...got my blood pressure and weight and even checked my temp.
Then they had to reschedule my appointment maybe another 7 months.
They require 14 doctors to handle the load but they only have 4 doctors...most of them have left.
Unfortunately for veterans is the layers and layers and layers of management...you would think that is good.
They seem to not know what each other is doing... so nothing gets done.
Now they are asking employees to whistleblow...Ha...I seen that one coming.
If you want to keep your job...you have to keep your mouth shut.
I learned that the hard way when I let the nursing supervisor into sterile supply to get a blow nurse call.
This was for a quad who could only blow to call a nurse...poor guy.
She and a male nurse tossed it to me...I asked them what should I do with it.
They told me to have a nurse stick it up his A** and fart when he needs help.
They laughed all the way down the hall...the next day I reported it to the director.
I noticed the smirk...then the chief called me in to write me up for letting the nursing supervisor into sterile supply.
Ha...that became a Union matter and it was dropped and forgotten.
These kind of things happen every single day somewhere.
So the unfortunate truth is that management has very few veterans working...it is a money grab for them.
Every week someone in our management department is gone for training...and bonuses if the save money.
The way that they meet their cost savings is by shortchanging the Vet...
They certainly talk the talk...but walk the walk....nada.
You have probably seen all the solar panels at all the V.A.'s across the country.
A lot of money thrown away...because payback is 30 years for a product whose life expectancy is 15 years.
Problem is that they can't figure out how to tie them into the grid...who planned this?
The new V.A. boss wants to make the Vets go to civilian doctors...must have friends in healthcare.
It is really sad Jo...I feel that a lot of folks wish that they could line up all the veterans and do away with them.
The Vets are just dead weight at this point...the country is done with them and now they are a liability
The war is winding down time to turn to other money making schemes...the V.A.
I need to change the subject it is so frustrating...looking from the inside out!

nash - Good luck with your appointment. I loved some of your videos and checked "kora likes." LOL! Jo - I've read (and been told about) the times you and nash were talking about in earlier posts. Some bad and some interesting, and lots of expressions of "who I am and what I stand for." I'm in PR work and guess I've become somewhat desensitized like nash says he is----but not entirely, don't think so. As I said before, I don't usually get involved in politics or issues, because views don't change and most people can't handle a different point of view, which is sad. I will share some views about Taylor, though. Jo - Wonderful post about Taylor. I think Taylor is cute, cares about her fans and they love her back, is smart and talented and knows how to do the whole thing. nash knows that I'm just not into her voice or her music, but I've always wished her success. You and nash may disagree, but, whether it's jealousy or not, I think the hooplah about "bashing Taylor" is overblown. No one likes negatives, but she's strong and shows that she can overcome them. That's what a star does! Remember Toby Keith and his whining for years about being left out of awards. He really bugged me. I got so tired of him. Enough ramblings. On my way to post "Over The Rainbow" in non-country videos.
Kora...I love your ramblings...have you heard about the Debacle of the Denver V.A.
Sad!!!
The half-built $1.7 billion hospital in suburban Denver has been controversial since VA announced that it was $1 billion over budget — more than five times its initial $328 million estimate — and years behind schedule.
This is just an example of the waste...while veterans suffer...there is a lot of anger in the country about care for our men and women.
I suppose that more angry veterans will act out in the future...and folks will think twice maybe 10 times before they voluntary join the service.
I have been told to go to the Indian hospital if you want good service...at this point I want nothing...the system wins!

Oh...I have been thinking about what I said about the V.A. last night...and I forgot the good parts.
and there are good parts...the regular employees...the ones that deal with the Vet.
It seems as if they are there because they want to help...they really do...for the most part.
I noticed the time spent with patients by staff is real quality.
Now about yesterday...I was a bit short...but if I really had a problem you bet that they would have seen me.
They scheduled me for an x ray and blood work and filled my prescriptions too...
A veteran needs to see the doc at least once a year...or you are out of the system.
These rules are totally satisfactory with me...I had no real problem...but if I did...
I bet you if I had an issue... I could call them and they would squeeze me in.
They did in fact call me in even before office hours and fixed me right there on the spot.
I know that this talk will probably run some folks away from Taylor Swift news...but it needs to be said.
I believe that if politics were left out of the system along with bonuses etc...it would correct itself.
The Veteran has an obligation here too...make your appointments and stay in touch with your care team.
Heck...just call them and tell them that they are wonderful for what they do...and thanks!
You would not believe the smile that comes across their face...I know...I did it from 20 feet away...while waiting!
Though that was when I owned a cell phone...yesterday I quit wearing my watch.

My experiment with cancelling my cell phone has had an unbelievable result...nothing.
I predicted folks calling the land line and giving me the what for about my decision to quit celling.
So far...nothing...no one has noticed..no one has said anything.
Kinda like cutting your whiskers expecting folks to notice...and they don't.
I should not expect anyone to notice anything when there nose is stuck to some screen.
So have you seen the wristwatch by Apple..jimminee whiskets...there goes my watch now.
The watch might be the hardest thing to give up...but everywhere you go...there is a clock.
I don't need to have it on my wrist also do I? My choice I guess.
I also need to limit the length of my posts...so there!

I have been walking barefoot a little lately...if you haven't done this...do it!
It's like you are totally grounded with Mother Earth...tell you a story here.
This is what I love to do...grab a towel and hike behind the house...way over the hill.
There is a special place by this creek... where the creek cuts through a shale..forming a pool.
Beautiful soft green grass on both sides...surrounded by huge Oak trees...paradise.
I don't think anyone has been there since the Civil War...at least it looks that way.
I usually take my 2 dogs and just go...my wife knows so I am free.
Why does the taste of freedom only make you to want more?

No Nash, no official invite yet =[ but, I'm hoping something comes soon *it is only the 1st today, so hoping they just haven't started working on it yet. Staying hopeful! and so far, I'm not quite sure yet.. my main goal so far is just get to Detroit on time

This place of which I talk of is 1 mile from home...and no one knows...except you...dear reader.
So if you tell anyone I will certainly cry my eyes and then my brain out.
I kick off my flip flops and skivvies and jump right in...dogs and all.
Then we will lay around the grass for awhile...then prowl around the woods.
I'll follow the dogs then...just like them... barefoot and nekked.
It seems as if dogs have one thing on there minds...eating.
BTW...the last creature to survive on Earth will be the dog.
Just so's you know...dogs are good friends to have...an unbreakable connection.
When we get back to the creek I'll treat them with a crawdad...then dip in again.
Whenever I get back to the real world it makes me see it with a new eye.
Which makes my desire to return almost uncontrollable...like Mick Dodge.

Ha...Jeff...that's the way I always traveled too...as long as I get there...thats all that matters bro!
Though now my friend you must send a thank you letter to her staff thanking Taylor for following you on Twitter.
Tell them that you will be at Ford field and where you will be parked.
I was going to tell you to send a link to your page...they probably seen it already...maybe.
If you have a photo of yourself with Taylor...they throw it out...clean up...wash behind your ears.
You need to ask yourself WWTD what would Taylor do?
She would climb to the nose bleed section just to give you a hug!

I need to rejoin the rat race...sans watch and cell phone.
just try taking off your shoes and shutting off you device for a moment.
Just a moment mind you...I have no plans at all of leaving this forum.
This is one vice I am unwilling to kick...unless we go back to the old crank up phones!
Until next time...find your special place...then come back and tell ole Nasharoo!

Haha right. Half the battle is getting there! * literally in my case lol and I already did that actually Nash, myself.. thank Tay that is. (so that much is taken care of..) I sent it through Tumblr.. the day Tay followed me =] Had to thank the girl or at least try too, I know she's got millions of people after her. Tumblr is nice because it seems she runs it all herself, though I could be wrong, it seems its all her. * It's more of an online blogging type site* and hopefully T, would ask for a date? Haha just kidding.. I'd love to be able to hangout with her, but an actual date.. I don't think I'd want too lol

Jeffery...you need to write a letter to this address...it will go through a lot of hands here
mail@bigmachine.us
Come on Jeff...If Taylor asked you for a date...I just know that you would take her up on it.
They probably make there decisions a week or two before the show.
Be sure to include your phone number and contact information ...and just wait for a call...it will happen my friend!
