• There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politicion will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

Admins, if this isn't allowed. Please take it down.

About a month ago I was injured at work. (Blew out my knee)

However since I have an (undocumented) history of bad knees. My employer's Workman's Compensation carrier refused to cover it. Calling it an "existing" condition and not work related.

This has put me out of work. I flag traffic for utility and road construction and standing for 8+ hours can not be done by me at this time.

I've been trying to line up some form of temporary disability but it takes time. And the bills are piling up

Since I've been out of work over a month even my regular medical insurance has been suspended.

As I'm in a rural area with virtually no public transportation (company took back my work truck) finding transportation to medical appointments (If I can ever line up an orthopedist that has available appointments before September) Things are a bit hard right now.

I swallowed my pride and set up a a go fund me page and I have had quite a few donations come in. Those at least have kept a roof over me and food in the pantry.


If anyone could help out a fellow simmer I'd appreciate it. Kinda hard to go from working 40+ hours a week making over $20 an hour to zero. At least I have plenty of time to fly in the sim. :untroubled:


I didn't set it up as a link but below is the address for the Gofundme

Thank you sincerely in Advance,
