I'm just glad that I was able to finally get out of the wheelchair
and return to work. Remember, the whole dialogue between
Steve Lare and I over me turning down a full disability?


One other thing, there is no 'partial disability' when it comes to Social
Security. It's all or nothing. So, there is no way one can turn down a 'full
disability' and receive a partial disability at least with Social Security.

Also, there is no way you could have turned it down unless you had gone through
the whole process and were actually awarded the disability.

The hospital would have unlikely been in a position to take you through the
whole process on it's own.



While
I was in the hospital doing physical therapy after my stroke, they
told me I'd never be able to return to teaching due to being
unable to walk.


Teaching requires walking?


I stayed off of RRS during that period, because
I was too busy to deal with the likes of you and Lare. The hospital
told me that they had applied on my behalf for a disability.


Uh, can they apply for Social Security on your behalf? Somehow I doubt that,
at least not without your knowledge.- Hide quoted text -

Steve, we both know that his story has more holes than a slice of
swiss cheese. There are truths and half truths and omissions and
exagerrations, anyone that has read him in here for years knows he is
a walking contradiction. That is in part to his debated "mind" - - I
asked two people that I trust whole heartedly and they said that
people in debate or that teach debate, that the mindset of debating is
actually an illness and addictive in many cases. Just read up about it
a bit and watch a clip of the last debate in the collegiate finals. I
just shake my head when I see it, a good analogy would be like some of
those churches that get to dancing in the aisles and falling down and
shaking - follow me? It's definitely "different" and to think, he
taught these young kids this...lol....only in America I suppose. The
debate continues. ;-)
