Other than my car, and I don’t own a house. Would have to be my gaming laptop. I bought it at Best Buy, and its running like a champion too. It is a Predator Helios 300. It runs all my games, plus I can post on here. I considered buying a second laptop that I would use for school, and writing on my blog. But no complaints after about three years.
Anyways, not much is going on, these days. Its been quiet in fact, because Dad spent the weekend at the farm. He built a new dirt bike trail. So, there are like three trails now, and I can’t wait to see the new one.
Of course, I don’t ride dirt bikes. But I ride the riding lawn mower. Thats fun to me. I enjoy turning it. It reminds me of Grandad (Dad’s Dad). To build the trail, my Dad had to cut down some mesquite trees, and tore up some prickly pair cactus. He got pricked by one. Now, THAT is some dedication. Dad is really doing a lot with the farm, but the sad thing is no one seems to be taking advantage of it. Its sad to see it go to waste. We all need to get out there, and use what Dad built.
Anyways, I am going to a law enforcement expo, on the 14th of November. Hopefully, someone will hire me. I am a little bit older, but I could probably get hired in the IT department. Also, I am filling out an application with Champion Homes. Trying to increase my take home, you see. For now I have been driving Uber. I am grateful to God for Uber. I don’t like working on Sundays, so for now I will drive Uber. Well, that all for now, good night and God bless you!
This is a photo of Billy. I know, I know, you have seen it before. But- did I ever tell you about my friendship with Billy?
I have always wondered how our families first connected. The Robinsons and the McCarty families was a connection, unlike any other. My Mom told me that she, and Aunt Mary would talk after church. Originally, they lived in a trailer, behind the church I remember. I just remember coming back from Great Granny’s funeral, and there were all these guns, and boxes of ammo beneath my metal frame bunkbed from Children’s Company. That was the first time I ever heard the name Robinson. I was impressed. The Robinsons had decided to store there guns at our house. Later, Mom and Dad had them over after church. At first me and Billy did not get along. In fact, I thought I was being forced to be Billy’s friend! But after a while, I noticed, we would always have some kind of adventure together. Our families were closely aligned, it seemed. Uncle Rob was in the Navy. That was so exciting to me.
Long paragraph. But I have a bit to explain. After a while, in the Fall of 1995, my Mom, and Aunt Mary began Psalm singing with us children. The Psalters, which were last revised in 1936, I noticed, were moldy. But they were what we were going to sing. I didn’t remember ever seeing a Psalter prior to our Psalm singing. For a while, it was just the Robinsons and the McCartys that did the Psalm singing. But I really felt this time was foundational to what happened later. Where our families went from barely being able to get along, to going on vacations together!
Then, we added another family to our Psalm singing. The Winslows. It was actually pretty fun. We would have about 45 minutes to do something before the Psalm singing. Then, afterwards we would have another 45 minutes to do some activites. I remember we would play all sorts of out door games, like for a while we did hockey. Then, we did kickball, and soccer too. It was so much fun. Then, me Billy, and Kathryn would go off, and have discussions too. We were all close in age. I was a bit younger than Billy and Kathryn. But I felt a connection forming, with both Billy and Kathryn. So, I always consider that to be my first real connection.
Now, I am no longer connected with Billy, or Kathryn. But the memory of that time, is so positive to me, I still think about it often. I don’t have any pictures of Kathryn, but if I did maybe I wouldn’t share it, unless she said it were ok. But this picture of Billy is from a public website. Billy is now a counselor, in Grand Rapids. I have sometimes thought of signing up for a session just to talk with him. Kathryn married and moved to Wyoming. But I really felt like Billy deserved the credit for the connection with Kathryn. We went from arguing and fighting, mostly my fault, to being able to sit together for Sunday school. Or at Youth Group. Or, we would discuss our families. It was really neat.
You might think Uncle Rob being in the Navy was the reason I joined. It was influential, and one time we got a tour of a submarine. But Uncle Rob actually, had told me not to join the Navy.
Then, I remember one day, my Mom, and Aunt Mary kind of got into a fight. It was just after William was born, they wouldn’t talk for years. It was so sad, because the Robinsons and the McCarty families had gotten along so well. Something about the move I guess. I never figured out why they fought, but I did know that my Aunt Mary and Mom agreed: Someday they would meet for lunch. That was a profound statement for me. So, I wanted that to happen. It did happen! I ended up going to Billy’s graduation from Christian Liberty Academy, in Illinois. After that, I remember my Mom and Aunt Mary re-connecting.
But yes, without Billy, I doubt I ever would have been able to connect with other people very well. I think Kathryn had reached out to form a friendship, prior to the arrival of Billy, and it failed. I didn’t even know what a connection was, till Billy showed up.
The Saddest Moment
One day, Billy managed to call me, while I was stationed in Misawa. He wanted me to attend his wedding. Because of manning I doubted whether I would get leave. I had nefarious intentions of my own, for returning to the states. So, I did ask if I could get leave. But they told me I wouldn’t get it. I think my Uncle Rob could have helped me get leave, but I didn’t press the issue. I regret not attending Billy’s wedding. It would have been such a blessing to see him, at his big moment, when his family formed. I met his wife, to and she is not only beautiful, but very sweet. Billy had told me, he would be willing to do “Just about anything” to have me at his wedding. I felt like I failed Billy, in not pressing for the leave. For not attending his wedding. I regret this Billy.
Greetings! I am back at my Dad’s house. I just uploaded my insurance to Uber. So, in a little bit, I should be able to do deliveries. I have shared my Trump story a few times, in the hopes to persuade others to support Trump. But also, to explain to skeptics why it is that I voted for Trump as President three times!
The story begins in about February 2013. I was stationed in San Diego, onboard USS Princeton CG-59. A guided missile cruiser. I had been attending a Presbyterian Church I found online. This lady invited me to dine with her, at The Flavors of East Africa, on University.
Sometimes I think she was a psychic, because some of the things she told me, were very appealing. I don’t really believe in psychics, because I believe in God. But nevertheless, this one got it right just once. I call her, The Candidate, as I never did get her name.
She told me these things, which all later became true. The George Floyd riots, COVID, Social Distancing, wearing masks. My Collision I was in. She ended up describing a mysterious Presidential Candidate, for 2016. Her description, fit Donald Trump. That was who my guess was. But I did not tell her this. Instead, I treasured the things she told them, and kept them to myself. Maybe I shouldn’t have done that.
Then, again in 2013 I was on deployment. It was near the end. I was walking from the Smoke pit, to Radio. I had a thought about the Presidential race. I realized, not one of the potential candidates could beat Clinton! Some of them had the fame, but none of them had the money to beat her. Politics is about money, I realized. You need money to win. The only person I could think of with enough fame, and just maybe enough money, who could beat Clinton was Donald J. Trump! He had both fame and money. I didn’t know how he would do as President- a secondary concern, as the real goal was beating Clinton. Until 2016 the Clintons had never been defeated. But someone had to communicate to Trump, just how vital it was, that he run.
Well, time moved on, and I ended up getting out of the NAVY. That was in 2014, in November, 20th. So, I went home to Texas. Grams, while I was outprocessing from the Navy, had a fall. I don’t think she ever fully recovered. I made it home in time for Thanksgiving at my brother’s house, and Grams was there, up, and moving around. But I doubt she ate any of the food. I think thats how she lost her strength. Grams became weaker, and weaker over time. In 2015 she passed away. I wore my Navy Uniform to the funeral. Though, I was no longer in. I guess we had a sort of- military funeral for Grams.
That is a picture of President Trump and Melania at there wedding! What a beautiful lady she is too! The most beautiful first Lady we have ever had. She stuck with her husband through everything the DemoKKKrats put Trump through. When I think of a Proverbs 31 woman, Melania is synonymous. She is the most beautiful first Lady, and very gracious too! You can see that Trump is very honored to be holding her hand. It is because of Melania that I do not believe the negative things, they say about him!
Back to my story. So, Grams passed away in 2015, and something else happened- I had just begun going to school at Tarrant County College (TCC). I was in Government, and my professor, Mrs. Bowman, announced that Trump had declared his candidacy! I almost fell out of my chair! I had given my thoughts, it was like, and God had responded! He had moved Trump, to declare his candidacy! For 2016. I swore in my mind, I would vote for Trump. But to make sure it was real, for the primary, I voted Dr. Ben Carson. If things were not as they are now, he would make an outstanding President I think. He honors God, country, and family. I have heard him speak, and think even more that way now.
Anyways, so my candidate was in the running! He performed so well, in 2016, knocking out all of the contenders. They could not compete with Trump- and I knew- neither could Clinton! I have had moments of doubt, sometimes. But for the most part I have stuck with Trump.
A Test Of Faith
We are in trying times. I believe we are at the beginning of the “End Times”. That Jesus is set to return. But I think that is why God sent us Trump- supporting Trump was a test of faith. Do we believe Fake News, CNN? Or, do we believe Trump, and vote for him despite the negative programming? See, how it was a test of Faith. Those who supported Trump, passed the test of Faith. Oh, don’t worry, there will be other tests of Faith as we proceed.
Fastforward to 2019. I was in the Navy Reserves. Working at FedEx on the purple belt, one night. I heard the Trumpet sound! I almost ran out of there, thinking the zombies might get me. But I stuck with it, that night. Then, the next thing, COVID happened. This confirmed in my mind, that I had heard the sound pf the Trumpet. So, I don’t know when the next Trumpet sounds- but another word for Trumpet- is Trump. Not only is God giving us a test of faith, in supporting Trump, but also we have been given a hint. When you think Trump- think Trumpet!
Everybody knows, that after 2019- something changed. Suddenly, each year was worse than the last one. Yet, God still is providing, and there has been no rapture as f yet. Though, people have predicted the rapture. To be honest, I don’t think there is anything wrong with hoping, and longing for the return of Jesus!
Then, during the re-election campaign, of 2020 I really think Trump did an even better job, than he did in 2016. He had COVID under his belt, he ended some of the wars we were in. He had a roaring economy during 2019- despite the recession. But none of this mattered- because the DemoKKKrats cheated! There was plenty of evidence. For example, I shared a meme for a while, about the Dominion servers logging off, when Trump’s election was a land slide- even California went for Trump! It was a landslide victory. They say Biden got 80 million votes- well if thats true, Trump got 100 million votes, so he definitely won the popular vote.
Cheating
I don’t think Biden had anything to do with the cheating, himself. But he accepted it, for sure! I dubbed him, the Cheater in Chief because of this. I remember the government was in LOCK step to get rid of Trump! I had a government job, briefly, and everybody was against Trump- from Pence, all the way down to the lowest paygrades like myself. So, I lost my job, but I was glad. I did not want to stand with the deceived. The weak minded fools, who claimed they knew whart was going on! If they had- they would have supported Trump. As I said, voting for Trump has been a test of Faith. Its up to us, what we put our faith into now, that we have passed the test! I put my Faith in the Son of God- Jesus. He will make all things new, it says, when He returns! So, I am waiting for that day.
During 2021 I received death threats, lost friends, and lots more, all for my support of Trump and standing with him on the Jan 6 debacle.
Jan 6 2021- The Day The Fed Got A Taste
of its own medicine! For about six months, the United States Government, did absolutely nothing during the lawless riots of 2020. SUpposedly about George Floyd (Who the Candidate had mentioned). Then, suddenly, on Jan 6 2021, the Government flipped out when private citizens gained access to the capital! Like- don’t we pay for the Capital? We should be able to enter. Nevertheless, When it got out of control, Pelosi refused to call in the National Guard. That was what Trump was trying to do. But Pelosi in bitterness towards Trump, refused to corporate. So, it got out of control. Allegedly, there were FBI agents placed, to agitate as well.
The people who were arrested, were imprisoned without due process. This was the biggest constitutional violation in the History of America. These were not trouble makers, they were there following the constitution. Nevertheless, the government persecuted them, but never punished the rioters when it came to the George Floyd riots. There was even a causality- Ashley Babbit.
Because of Jan 6. 2021. I know there is only one solution to it- we need Term Limits. Some of the “congressmen and women” have been there since before I was born. We need fresh ideas, new, young inovative leadership. People who love America in there, and understand its a privilege to serve in Congress. They need to fix the retirement system too, and make it so that Congress is not exempt from the changes they have placed on the people, when it comes to Health Insurance. Term Limits for Congress!!
Just a couple days ago, we had the No Kings protests. Its confusing- because these people are protesting FOR a King, but to confuse everyone else they called it, the No Kings protest. This is the way the enemy works- through confusion. They want to install King Obama! See, how the AntiChrist system is at work. Well, I have a message for them!
Lets make Trump and Melania our King and our Queen. What an honor, and they deserve it for being robbed of the 2020 elections! For having there names run through the muck. So, that they could “Make America Great Again!”. God bless you, and thank you for reading this!!
I am going to be missing work! My car started acting up, on Wednesday while I was working. I walked into Murphy USA to get a coffee. When I came back out, my car wouldn’t start. I tried to start it several times. With no success. So, I went into Chick-Fil-A to use the bathroom. I came back out, and my car started! So, I moved to some shade.
Then, my car began acting up again. This time it died, and I understood, it might be over heating. It was hot that day. Anyways, I went and lifted the hood to let it cool, and almost burned myself it was so hot under the hood. I went into use the bathroom again. After I came back out, the car started again.
I moved to another parking area, that I watch. It was running fine. But then, it acted like it was going to die again. I figured it might be overheating again, I rolled down the window and turned off the car. After a few minutes, I tried to start the car again. It wouldn’t start. So, I began calling “AAA”.
If you are ever stranded, “AAA” is a pretty reliable company. They can help with a number of problems, including with the battery, being locked out, or in this case, towing. So, I got in touch with a local towing company via “AAA”. I still have there number. But anyways, as I had called the tow company- the car started. I had just ended my shift. So, I cancelled the towing, and began driving home, with Robert Jeffress blaring!
As I drove, I noticed the check engine light was on. So, I kept that in mind, as I continued to drive. Expecting, at any moment that the car might die, on the Interstate. But I made it home! There were cops, watching the highway, so I knew I would be ok. They are the Arlington, PD.
Anyways, I got home. I let my Dad know what was going on with the car. He said, “Take it to O’Reilly’s in the morning, and get them to read the engine code”. So, I figured that was that, and went to bed. My Dad has had an irregular sleep pattern.
So, my Dad stayed up and worked on my car, all night long! At about 6, he left and went to McDonald’s for breakfast. I was a sleep while this all transpired. At about 8 AM, he called for me, and let me know he was about done working on the car. But he needed to go to O’Reilly’s for a part.
So, I dragged myself out of bed. I smoked a cigarette. But as I went back up stairs, he showed me a “code reader” he had received for Christmas one year. He found it, and read the code, and got to work on my car! Aw, Dad thank you!
I have footage of my Dad working on the car. It hasn’t received many views. So, I decided to share it here.
In the video, you can see the car, my Dad, and our somewhat messy garage! Well, enjoy. Time for me to finish my coffee, and hit the sack, but I will be missing work. So, I might stay up for a bit. My Dad is trying to order the parts on Amazon. He tried to buy them at O’Reilly’s. But the parts he needs would have cost him $150 at that place. So, he decided to order the parts from Amazon. Thank you, for reading! I hope you are doing well. Let me know, in the comments. God bless you.
So, last night, I stayed up late. Because of this, I woke up late as well at about 3 PM. Why did I stay up, though? Well, I spent the night discussing my interests when it comes to relationships, with a very dear friend of mine. She is so accepting, and just listened and did not ridicule or make fun of my interests. I told her about Rebekah, and the impact she had on me. How, once in a while, I wish I could meet back up with Rebekah, and continue on as her slave. She understood me, and this is very important to me.
Rebekah asked me to be her slave. During church, and I said yes. She left it open- I could have humiliated her in so many ways. But if I did that, I would never experience it- you know. So, I said “Yes”. Eventually, I was on my hands and knees promising to be her slave. I was so happy. God put Rebekah in my life for a very good reason, I think. Maybe I will write more about it later on.
ANyways. I woke up, and remember my friend Scott? He told me my sheets were smelly. So, today I did my laundry. Tomorrow I work again, so I also washed my work shirt. Right now, they are in the dryer. I also made coffee. I actually just got a cup, and I am drinking it from my “I Stand With Israel” cup.
For dinner, I had Arby’s. Normally, I just get the classic roast beef sandwich. But I wanted something different, this time. So, I saw they had a brisket sandwich available. I ordered it, with a meal. The BBQ came on the side, in a packet. Then, I found out there were cucumbers on the sandwich, so I took those off. Other than the cucumbers, the sandwich was so tasty! The BBQ was a bit spicy, which I love!!
Earlier today, I played World of Warcraft Classic. I got my druid to lvl 30, which allowed her to train “Travel form”, so she can go faster now. Its only usable outdoors. I also ran Blackfathoms Depths (BFD), and we got through it pretty quickly. I was impressed. For some reason, we skipped the water boss. But I was ready to get out of there, so it was ok. No pictures to share this time. I just wanted to share these moments of my day. Thank you for reading. God bless you.
First, I wanted to give a shout out to the Veterans Affairs!! They have done such a good job keeping up with my medicine. It gives me motivation to be taking my medicine. Thank you!
That is my car. The starter was going bad. So, yesterday, me and my Dad took it to a place over on Arkansas to have it repaired. But it turned out, it needed a new starter. It was making some kind of weird noise when I would start it. It cost over $500 to get the repairs completed. So, I hope this fixes it long term. Only time will tell. This afternoon, I picked up my car, and it turned over like it should. So, for now I am happy with my repairs, even though it ran up such a high tab. My Dad was satisfied with it too.
Then, after I picked up my car, I was hungry. So, I went by Luci’s Chicken and Rice, which is just around the corner from the shop, where I got my car repaired at. I got 8 wings, Fried rice, and French fries.
It takes me about fifteen minutes, start to finish to eat the entire thing. But it is good. I am not sure how long that restaurant will remain in business, but while it is, I try to eat there at least once a week. See how big the meal is? I can’t eat all of that, but I try too. The roll is pretty good too.
After I ate, I played World of Warcraft Classic for a while. I was on my druid this time. I am comitted to playing my druid to lvl 60. Today, we ran Gnomeregan. It took about an hour to complete. Most of my group was above lvl for it. So, thats why it went by so fast. We had a couple of spicy pulls, where we almost wiped. But we recovered nicely.
After the run, I tried to laydown. But I couldn’t sleep. So, I started driving to my Mom’s house. I got a coffee at 7/11, and I needed cigarettes too. Then, I got back on the road, and finished driving to Mom’s house. When I pulled up, Mom was in the front yard, watering the grass. I guess it needed it. Joey let me inside the house. I just sat there for a while, talking to my Mom. She was texting with my Aunt Mary, up in Michigan. I was about to leave, but she gave me a coke. Here is a short I made at her house. Behind me you can see the piano.
After I had the coke, I finally left. But my Mom stopped me before I pulled out of the drive way, and she told me about how she is having a guy come out and repair her steps. The railing also. Maybe next time I will take a picture of it, so you can know what shape it is in. The steps on one side are all battered in, and it seems they need to be replaced. But its going to cost her $1200.
Well, anyways, I am back home now. I just wanted to share these tidbits with you. Thank you, for reading!
So, today I woke up, right before Blizzard Maintenance. I ended up going to Stormwind to turn in a quest. I bought a new staff for my druid, also. Also, I noticed something:
I have exactly, 66 Deviled Clams! Haha. To funny.
Well, anyways, it was supposed to be cloudy. But as I drank my coffee and smoked my cigarette, I noticed not a cloud in the sky. But, it is early, so perhaps we will see. It was nice out though. But the grass is a little high.
Let me just say, I am taking a break from posting about Trump, because I believe it is all in God’s hands. We need to pray for our President, and be vigilant. A lot is happening all at once. Oh, I did it! I mentioned Trump. Well, what can I say? He has been in the forefront of the news for- nearing 12 years.
Anyways, my Dad and I ate at a restaurant called “The Cotton Patch”, and my Dad ordered the Chicken fried steak, while I had a regular steak. I thought my steak was delicious, it was so juicy!
So, I shared EntertheStars. Sometimes I share the perspective of people- who do not share my beliefs. Nor, does the host seem to understand why we voted for Trump. Still, sometimes he has good information. So, I shared the opposite perspective with you. He goes in and makes fun of Trump for wearing a catheter.
I was reminded the other day, of something. There are Christians inside Iran. Iran is one of those countries, where persecution of Christians is the norm. On top of this they are being bombed! We need to pray for, and remember that they exist.
Yep. In August, I am going to be traveling. I will be traveling to The Cave City Convention Center in Kentucky for basically, a Bigfoot convention. My Dad bought me and him some dinner. Also, Scott came over.
It rained today. So, my Dad bought dinner. He gave me money, and wanted me to go to Burger King. Yum. Apparently, Burger King has a $5 Whopper meal on Wednesday, now days. I was skeptical when my Dad told me about it. I wasn’t sure which Burger King to go too. So, I went to the one in Kenedale. I went in, and asked the cashier, “Do you have the five dollar Whopper meal?” I expected to be laughed out of the restaurant. But instead, he rang it up. I asked for two Whopper meals. He rang it up, and it came out to $10.80. My Dad had given me a ten dollar bill, so I just paid with my card and covered the difference.
After dinner, Scott called. He wanted to come over, and I told him it was ok. Turns out, Scott wants to move to Plano, or some place. Then, later Scott and me set up my YouTube to go live. Scott give me some tips, because I am interested in building up a YouTube channel. There are so many channels out there! Afterwards, we went and got some gas, and drinks at QT.
I briefly stopped over at my Mom’s house, as well. I just wanted to say that, because they had on FOX News, and The Five was on. It was the token liberal’s turn to speak. She was talking about Musk, and Trump. Personally, I just think that whole situation is missed up. Elon did a really brave thing, helping Trump. One day, I do believe, we will have a Mars base because of Elon.
Now, I started out by saying that I am going to Spiracy Con. Let me share what that is. It is KIND of like a Bigfoot convention. But its gonna have expanded topics, I believe. Perhaps the origins of big foot. The reason I am going, is because there is a show I used to follow, The Mid Night Ride, on YOUTUBE. The hosts are both going to be in the convention. The convention is in August. I will try and get some pictures to share, of Cave City, Kentucky. I have seen some pictures, my self so I think we are in for some real treats. Here is the website:
So, as you can see, I am in for a good time. I am hoping that Scott will go with me.
I want to share a short. As I mentioned I am making a YouTube Channel. I hope it grows an audience. So, I will post a short. Two. They were both pretty popular, and I am not sure why.
The above video, is just a storm, but somehow it got over 100 views. It was pretty popular compared to some of my other videos.
I shared this one because it had 360 views, last count. So, its my highest grossing views video. I just wanted to share it, because of its popularity.
Today, I woke up early. For me. It was 8:30 AM. I knew today would be a big day. For, I am starting out on how to fund my studies. I first made it to UTA, by 9:30. I know this, because I paid for parking at 9:28, which lasted until 11:28 AM. Then, I went up to the Student Success Center in Ransom Hall. I have been there before. My old baby sitter, Eileen works there. I guess she runs the program. She is normally in her office. But when I went in, the students at the front told me, I would have to wait five minutes. I expected to have to wait. But, it didn’t take long for Eileen to show up.
After Eileen finished her conversation, she came in. She recognized me! “Good sign” I thought. She asked how I was doing, and I said “Fine”. But then, I told her how I signed up for two classes, and that I might have to drop them. Due to unexpected expenses with my car. (Remember, the alternator went out). So, she told me about the “MavShop” for scholarships. She told me she would send me the link in an e-mail. Then, I told her, “I am about to go to the Veteran’s Assistance Center”, to check on the Hazlewood Act. She encouraged me, to come back to TRiO! I was relieved. If I stick with my classes, I definitely will.
Anyways, Eileen was not kidding about sending me the link. She sent the e-mail as soon as I was headed towards the VAC. I appreciated her efforts, and decided to write to her, as soon as I could. (I prefer to write school e-mails from my laptop). Once I got to the VAC I explained my situation.
I still have some of the GI Bill left. But I want to save it for an emergency, because its not a lot. So, they showed me where to go under “forms”, in order to fill out the application. Ok, I got that I realized. On the application form, it asks for a GI Bill Eligibility Letter/Exhaustion letter. Thats why I think I might be able to go ahead and use the Hazlewood Act.
I got home, and began filling out the forms I needed. I also needed my DD-214, and then I called the VA. The VA sent me a copy of my GI Bill Eligibility letter, to my e-mail address. Another e-mail. Well, I got those two documents. Then, “Oh, wait”, I need to fill out the actual Hazlewood Act application, and then upload it to my computer somehow.
So, I filled out the form. Then, I went to scan it on my Dad’s printer. But it turns out, that his particular model of printer doesn’t include scan. So, off to Office Depot I went. After waiting a few minutes, I finally made it to the front of the line, and got my document scanned, and e-mailed to me. After that I went an ate at Chick-Fil-A. Yum.
So, after I ate, I went home. I sat down to finish the form I needed to fill out for my school for the Hazlewood Act. I uploaded all the documents I had, plus filled in my comments about still having some of the GI Bill, and as its not enough to finish school, saving it for an emergency. Then, I pressed “save” and “submit”, but I needed one more form. Its something that shows how much of the Hazlewood I have used. Well, I went to go get this missing form, and I couldn’t access the website. Not on my laptop, not on my phone. So, I looked up a phone number. I found a phone number and called it.
After I called the phone number, they called me back. But I missed it. Yet, they left a message for me. In it they gave me a different phone number. I will share it here, incase you decide to use the Hazlewood Act: 1512-463-3168. So, I called that number, and got through. They asked me to send a screen shot of what was happening. So, I did. I had to send the e-mail three times because I had the wrong e-mail. I kept thinking it was Hazelwood@tvc.taxes.gov. But the e-mail address is actually hazlewood@tvc.texas.gov.
Hannah was the person at the Texas Veteran’s Commission that helped me on the phone. She promptly e-mailed me back, to once she got my e-mail. I am grateful for her help. Who knows, maybe this thing will move forward in part because of her willingness to help. Still have not been able to access the site, but she assured me the IT people were on the case. So, here is another situation, where I just follow the next step, and trust God. Thank you, Hannah!
After that, and some reading, I was hungry. But I was not yet sure what to eat. So, I decided to go see Mom. She and Joey were just lounging in their chairs when I went over. But I gave my Mom the narrative, that I just gave you.
After stopping at my Mom’s I finally headed to go get some food. I decided to go to Grease Monkey, where I could get me a Student Burger and fries, as I now had my student ID again. Thanks to a couple of other people, whose names I don’t have.
That is what a Student Burger looks like. Cheapest burger in town, too.
Today, I didn’t get as much done as I would have liked. I was off today, and that was alright. I went to the VA Clinic over on Loop 820. My Doctors have been telling me they need to see my vitals. So, I obliged, and used my day off at the VA. But it didn’t take as long as I might have expected. They got me in, and got me out. Neat. President elect-Trump is not even in office, yet things are already running smoothly. I guess this time- the Government realizes that Trump is the people’s choice.
After I got done with my blood draw was when it happened. I had a clear view in front of me, and nobody was in the parking spot in front. So, I thought- why not? So, I pulled forward- and went over the cement stopper in front of me. I didn’t see it, obviously. So, I checked for damage, and didn’t see any. Then, I backed up, over the cement stopper. I guess I just was lucky, because nothing was still broken. But on the way back to the house, I could hear something skidding/bouncing along underneath. I thought it might be the tire. So, I took it to Discount Tire and had them look at it.
Silly me, it was the plastic cover that was dragging, it turned out. But no internal damage- God was watching over me. So, I thanked the Discount Tire employee, and went on my way. I ate at Colter’s BBQ, and got the sandwich platter. I sat next to an attorney who was talking to his client, it seemed. So, I ate, but I could hear them talking. It appeared that the attorney had injured his arm somehow, as he was wearing a brace.
After eating, I went home and waited for my Dad to get home. I just laid there on the couch and rested for a while. My Dad came in, and I explained what happened. So, my Dad said he would be out, and went to the bathroom. I went outside, and smoked while I waited for Dad to inspect the damage (it is still in his name). After a few minutes, Dad started messing around in the garage, and he pulled out these two stanchions that you can drive the car up on.
I drove up, and over the stanchions, which I expected would happen. I just do not do well, when it comes to cars. But my Dad is an expert. He went and bought a jack, a nice solid one. It took a minute to get it working, but one by one we were able to remove each of the stanchions, and this time my Dad drove the car onto them. Dad ended up using zip ties to temporarily hold the plastic part, and keep it from dragging. To be continued. But Dad noticed that the front bumper had come lose as well.
So, Dad wanted to take the car to Jalisco Auto and Body Paint. He knows the man who owns it, and Dad wanted him to inspect the car and see if he could tighten up the bumper. So, we drove out to Kenedale.
The man looked at the bumper, and began taking things a part. My Dad tried helping. Then, after a while he figured out a way to tighten up the bumper, at least temporarily. So, now I can drive around and I don’t have a huge piece of plastic dragging, and the bumper isn’t going to fall off suddenly. Also, the man didn’t charge us anything for his time. Which is why I included his information here.
Trump Hat
That is right, I now have an official Trump hat!!! It is golden.
I stopped by Mom’s house and had some salmon. Joey made the salmon. It was delicious. I meant to bring this hat with me. I didn’t, so I just showed her this picture, while we were eating, and watching The Five on Fox News. Then, I drove home and accepted my admissions to University of Texas at Arlington. But I regret that I was unable to get advising done, today so I could start signing up for classes.
Well, that is all for now. Basically I got very little done today, and it was my own fault. Oh, well, maybe I will be off tomorrow as well. I will get advising done if so. I ate salmon with Mom, and it turned out to be delicious. Other than that, not much happened today. I hope you enjoyed reading my blog!!!
