My last words on this subject. I have nothing against any corp. making a buck, but it is the non-human impersonal way they do it. As far as my situation, SS disability does not have a perscription plan. If it wasen't for the fact I am a 4 year Viet Nam era Navy vetran (65-69) and get my perscription's through the VA, 90% of my SS disability check would go for medicine. Look at some people that have to make a choice between food and medicine? Luckily after struggling for the last 15 years of being disabled now between SS, the VA and my wife working we live comfortably. I also came into some money which has alowed me to re-build my new orange Hornet as a dependable daily driver. 6 yeras ago I used to baby sit my friends daughter from the time she got home from school till her father picked her up at 6pm for spare change to work on my then one Hornet. I give to one charity, The Disabled American Vetrans and to the church we go to but only if it is for a specific local need or i!
 n the case of the hurricanes in Florida this past fall. It's time for the rest of the world to step up to the plate. The USA has done more than it's fair share trying to save it all the time. Amc content, I am installing a 55$ billet door poper from AutoLock in the hatch of my orange Hornet to make opening the hatch a one handed operation instead of two, since my other hand is used to hold my cane. I installed one in my other Hornet 5-6 years ago. My oldest son alway's gives me money for Christmas as he knows I always need a few extra bucks for my cars so this gift paid for it.
