Lorraine Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I'm so happy for you, Carlie. You've put in so much work and it has paid off. My hope is that you are feeling well and will continue to enjoy your award. You deserve this award and I'm just sorry that it took you so long to get it. You are clearly a very caring person, you share so much of yourself(love your humor!) and your knowledge with the folks here at Hadit. Thanks for being here, stay well, and be happy.

carlie Posted November 6, 2011 Author Share Posted November 6, 2011 Thanks to everyone for your kind and considerate postings. Things are just now starting to feel real. I paid off every bill I had and all utilities have been paid in advance for the next six months. I took the majority of what was left and moved it to an account that VA has no authority over - even to make my direct deposits into. A very wise man at hadit, taught me years ago to to do this. Reason being - if the VBA decides they have made a mistake of some kind, they have the authority to go back into the account they made the deposit into - and snag the cash BACK !

NSA-Saigon-ET Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Hi Carlie, I just read about your great news and wish to add my congratulations for your success! I too am just coming back to earth from my similar award last month so I can definitely relate. I just had my ID card made and have been shopping at the Nellis AFB commissary! It is a good feeling to be covered no matter what happens in the future. NSA-Saigon-ET Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
