Dread Getting Old And Helpless

If you have a bona fide service dog, then I would think you can take her anywhere with no repercussions other than some ignorant glances form close minded bubbleheads.

That is exactly what I am dealing with. And yes, Babygirl is registered with the state and everything. She is official. I even have my psychiatrist's prescription for her along with her Service Dog I.D. from the state at all times. This woman just thinks she is God or something! SHEEEESH!

Shelia, "Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm." ~ Matthew 8:26

I found another verse today that warmed my heart too, it is from Proverbs 16:31 (New Living Translation) and it says, "Gray hair is a crown of glory; it is gained by living a godly life." And I do the best I can at doing the later.

I also looked up WORRY in the concordance and studied those verses, as well as looked up WORRY and ANXIETY in the Thesaurus. I didn't get to the Dictionary yet, but I shall....

One of the other contributing factors to all this is that I live way out in the mountains in a town of 2600 folks. Most of them are farmers, spread out all over large parcels of land. I live near the downtown area, but I own no car. I don't even own a TV because I am that poor. I have too much time on my hands and too little to do to utilize it.

I spend a lot of time here on these Forums, also I read books, but much of the rest of my time is spent just sitting around and rocking in my rocking chair. Sometimes I go out for walks, but otherwise, there is nothing much to do.

I understand the thought of dying alone. I have children and they are good, but I really don't expect much. I am 54 and like you on disability. My expectation about same, live in my own home now but don't know how much longer I can take care of it, just not able. Will probably end in a high rise then nursing home. I don't focus on this. I need to read the secret again. Always reminds me of the power of intentions.

I think the woman who runs the place just HATES dogs and believes they belong only outdoors.

Just stay off your meds for a day or two, THEN go an deal with the discriminating cow......also helps if you haven't had breakfast, makes you more willing to take a bite out of her!

I have too much time on my hands and too little to do to utilize it.

It may be worthwhile seeing if you should move to an area with better funding and more services and awareness.
I know it will be rough going, but you are better doing it while you are able to move about and cope with it better.

If you don't mind my asking, what 'neck of the woods' are you in?
