Central Texas Update — 4 Comments

  1. Jumping through VA hoops is a bit of a pain, but worth it. Mine took 2 days in 2 different med centers which were a couple of hours apart, and about five hours from home. Eric’s was a little easier–they did his all in one place. Of course, his percentage is higher than mine. Go figure.

  2. A vet in the waiting room warned TVC is useless (sat on his claim for 5 yrs), so I saw the guy, listened to what he had to say, and decided I’d get on the stick and finish filling out the forms, make the med record copies (don’t want to give up my copy), get the divorce decrees and marriage license, get DD214 copy certified, and get it submitted myself. I’m almost there, so I’ll focus on finishing the form this week.

    Not sure my percentage will be high enough to matter at this point, but just in case, I want it in by the end of May. No matter what, I need to get it done, because my problems are degenerative and will only get worse. Glad to hear yours went quickly. Guy said to see the VA rep in the office, and he’d take care of it right away. TVC guy berated me for waiting so long.

  3. I had a rat that keep gnawing its way into my house by the kitchen drain pipe. I plugged the hole with steel wool and SOS pads. Worked like a charm. Rats can actually chew through steel wool, but they hate the taste of the soap in the SOS pads. Can’t remember what home show I saw that on.

    Most government agencies make it difficult to actually use their services. I’ve always wondered why.

  4. He acted as if he’d be helpful, but I was leery based upon the other guy’s report. I’m pretty sure I can do what I need to do.

    And EJ, I don’t know why, after repeated approvals, WordPress doesn’t recognize you yet. It just baffles me, but I’ll always click to approve you when I get into the panel. Don’t worry.

    Yeah, I bet rats (and other critters) don’t like the soap in the SOS pads. Good recommendation. This guy looked kind of cute. Hubby asked if I wanted to just let him into the house, but I declined. (I had pet rats in high school — lab rats aren’t quite like wild rats, though.)
