Saskatchewan Assured Income for Disability (SAID) And Why I Almost Died Last Night

Image
Saskatchewan Assured Income for Disability (SAID) is the program that is supposed to be helping me as a disabled person to survive. Yesterday (Aug 29, 2024) I was supposed to get paid by them directly into my bank account. It never showed up and I have literally no idea on earth why this is happening to me. I emailed the minster of social services and asked them to get someone to call me and explain so I can fix this. This was at 3 AM give or take and  I got a reply that someone would phone me. Well, no one phoned me yesterday and right not it's 10:45 am and no call at all from them. I have no idea if I'm cut off and facing homelessness or I just need to give them some information they want to continue my benefits. Meanwhile, I have 21 cents in the bank and a maxed out credit card. I can't buy food to feed myself, and no one in the government gives a darn about this at all. We are faceless numbers to manipulate to them and nothing else. Don't fool yourself, the governme

I Rarely Get What I Want, But I Always Get What I Need (AKA I'm Blessed)

Image
Well I am going to be VERY broke next month (Sep 2024). So on a video on YouTube I asked if anyone would like to help me out and get 3 items from my Amazon Wishlist. Well so far, no takers on that. But I did not expect there would be. The people who are usually generous are broke as hell right now. So I though, I guess next month I don't have all my supplements and enough coffee for the month. Then along comes the power of the creator it seems - as it always does. I get an email and it's the organization I do surveys for. Well I needed 40 points to get to the threshold of 2500 and be able to get a $25 Amazon gift card. Well they will give me 60 points for a 5 minute survey. So I fill it out and I check my account and, yup, I got enough points. I submit the request to cash them in. Now, here is the good part. Normally it takes about a week to get back from them that you can go ahead and pick a gift card. Well, this time it was 2 hours (give or take a few minutes). So I went and

A Good Day For a Change (AKA Coffee Outing)

Image
The usual Thursday event yesterday, we went out on the north service road for coffee. It's a truck stop, but it's a big sized restaurant. I don't go out there any other day or time, so I don't have any idea if it has a time when there are a lot of people in it. But when we go, there is almost no one else in there. I have to say $3.85 for a Pop (Pepsi) is nuts, but coffee is the same price, and their coffee makes me ill - everyone else is fine with it, just not me. However the pop only gets one refill, not unlimited like the coffee does. I'll talk about the strange bill below. In any event, there was a new face at coffee when I got there. I'd met the fellow before, and he is nice to talk to. The one guy who has been going for years has not been there the last 2 times, and I'm totally OK with this. He was super aggressive, and very rude the last time he was there. We let him know this is NOT acceptable behavior at all. I think he needs a medication review if

Two Quick Thoughts

Image
To me coffee is a great pleasure and I choose to spend the vast majority of my spending money on it. I really don't tend to have more than $20 extra a month to spend on things other than needs, but I mostly spend that money on nice coffee to drink. The manner in which I make the coffee uses kind of a lot of it, to make just one mug of coffee, but it is extremely pleasant to drink that mug of coffee. I have been told it is not helping with my Fibromyalgia pain, but I am willing to have slightly more pain in my life to enjoy a great cup of coffee. To be honest having coffee out, is disappointing compared to what my Moka pot produces for me. I may even keep drinking it if I was told it would shorten my life noticeably - to be honest, with no coffee in my life, I don't think I'd want to be here as much as I do now. It's been about 13 years since I lost my friend. At the time he was my best friend, and we knew each other for 38 years. We did a lot together. Went camping, pla
