Mark,

Were you able to keep your kit? If so, Some seat time will maybe help get your mind off your situation...Even for an hour or so...

Cheers

Ya, I still have my kit, but I had to give up my storage unit where I rehearsed. So, I don't have anywhere to play them and clubs aren't hiring bands during this Covid thing.

Thanks to all who have donated and to those who haven't, please consider doing so, anything would help, thanks guys.

My prayers are with you Jr if I was financial stable I would of by now just no work and bills are mounting up here too God speed

Wow, Johnny, I’m really sorry to hear about your troubles.

I haven’t been here in awhile, and to see this really hurt. I mean, I don’t know you except through here, but I always enjoyed your posts and our conversations, and I always thought it would be cool to have a beer with you. I will do what I can for you and please know you will certainly be in my prayers! God Bless...

I'd like to have a beer or two with all of you.

My job at Walmart is ok and I'm thankful that I was able to find a job, but they work my butt off, I'm on my feet all day and do a lot of walking. I can barely keep up with the young girls. I have bad knees and it's taking a toll on them, besides the fact that I haven't worked in nearly 3 years. I come home so beat I have to take a nice long hot shower to feel alive again.

I do have Wednesday, Thursday and for now Saturday off. On Wednesday I have to get a Covid test and hope the results come in time on Thursday morning so I can go visit my girlfriend. I have to coordinate with her son and if it doesn't come in before noon Thursday, I can't see her. The people that do the test said it's suppose to take 24 hours, so I go at 9 on Wednesday. They screwed it up last week and I didn't get my results until after 4 on Thursday, so I missed another week of seeing her. I haven't been over to visit for nearly 3 weeks, she probably thinks I'm abandoning her. Then I have to watch my grandson on my days off, I don't get much time to do much else. I'm worried about her, about moving out and of course the money issue. Life has really thrown me a curve ball, actually more like three curve balls all at the same time. But I'm trying to stay positive and work through this nightmare.

Thanks again.

This's WHY America desperately has to&must have&need a "medicare" system like we have here in Australia, i'm aghast , astounded, digusted that you don't,

IF you had superannuation you'd be able to withdraw part if not all of your super under these conditions,love,peace, prayers, thoughts to you&your family.

Actually, he may be able to obtain assistance through Medicare. At least it would be worth looking into through a call to the local social security office. The knees issue may qualify for disability, as well. Despite reports to the contrary, many people are on Social Security and Medicare before the qualifying age of 62.

Here's a link to look through some of the provisions:

Yes Indeed... cannot understand it either..

My wife spent 3 months in hospital this year.. and 2 months in Hospital 2018, As seniors we did not receive a bill.. not even Ambulance fees,

Take it easy JR, You'll get through it, Thinking of you..

Hey guys, things have gotten worse, I won't to bore you with the details, but I had to pay her son $2,951, that took away most of my savings and now he wants me to pay off the car her mom and I had bought together, he doesn't want her name on it. That's another $4,500, my family will possibly give me $3,000, but I'll have to come up with the rest. I've already sold my Ludwig Classic Maple snare and I'm trying to sell my only kit tomorrow. I feel like I'm at the end of my rope. Please keep me in your thoughts this Christmas season, thanks.

Sorry to hear your troubles , JR.

Hope that this too will pass and things get better have you tried family help agency’s

I have been forced to also sell off assets , it is not nice what people do to you in this type of situation especially family
