Butch54 I have to agree that you do make it sound personal something like anger even. Then maybe that's just how you talk.

That was another comment for the whole group of haters. If you can't afford to move I know you couldn't replace her. Please I'm not going at you on a personal level. My thoughts are thrown out for the whole. Get over it. Have I ever typed in @RG. No. Till I do please quit taking it personal.

In my opion I am wondering...If his heart and breathing are so bad that he needs a service dog why does he smoke roll your own cigarettes while he has his oxygen tank on him.Been seen several times doing this.

Why should I buy the next one for you Butch54 when you wouldn't do the same for me and you and I both know that. So let us end here with these final comments and go no further.

Get them out of a wad jade. That was meant for everyone that is unhappy about where the live. Not for you only. You just aren't that important. People I also read the whole story. Maybe you didn't catch my second post in your anger. I fully know about being disabled as I am. My dog stays leashed. I paid for it out of my pocket. But I'll gladly unleash her as soon as you contact me that you will buy the next one if something goes wrong.

Sorry Mr. Butch54 looks like it was my flub up this time around on tracking number, but at least I'm willing to admit it. That still doesn't excuse several past lost postal deliveries to me by the postal service and mail that should rightly have been returned because of a lost since invalid address either by the postal service in Little Rock or here in Morrilton.

And your suggestion sgmaps is most appreciated and welcome, oddly enough I traveled and lived in Colorado and New Mexico in the early 1950's and early 1960's and they're beautiful country at least in the 1950's . If I'm not mistaken there's a place Colorado called Garden of the Gods but my place is along the ocean and lots of humidity and salt air from the sea. And once again thank you for the suggestion. Best

@ R. Gilbert, this is a respectful suggestion, I know from a friend that Colorado treats their disabled residents very well. Do you have the resources to consider a move to Colorado?

He didn't claim he had been threatened with eviction, & as for your comment of why couldn't he just keep the 'figgen' medicine in his pocket, perhaps if he does have an instance where he collapses, his medicine could become inaccessible. Think before you speak & be thankful that you aren't in his medical situation.

Tired the only think want have to put with is a stinking swing shift sleeping cycle and being in the apartment and feeling like I'm in an isolation room 24/7 365 days of the year. The place I'm aiming for breaths life and excitement into me and keeps my battery on a trickle charge as does the Louisiana sun.
