How IS everyone?
It's beginning to look like we can post questions under "Questions" again (which would be a good thing).

What's up with all the ads and spam on WN?
What's up with the spam and ads? Who is a moderator on WN? Colby or Dave can you have this stopped? I was helping when my brother in law Greg Pierce was living.

Oh No | Just Diagnosed
VA healthcare system isn’t consistent with what they say and I have to do their administrative duties for them or I’d be stuck in the system for as long as it takes for each department to realize I’m even there. Non-VA providers can’t do their jobs because of this, and some of them simply tell me what I mostly already…
