Bob is not against Apple products, he keeps blowing his allowance on birdseed,
so he has no money to buy one!

I don't hate Apple products, my son is an avid Samsung Galaxy guy and he hates
Apple products. If the iPhone products help those with vision challenges have
an easier time of things---I'm all for it.

Since she used your middle name Heather, is that a sign that she is wanting to
visit you in Ohio because you’re in trouble with her again?

he sounded doubtful. So, when I was talking to him seriously about it I asked
him if the department was going to pay for me to continue on with a higher
degree or if I am going to have to get representation to fight for it. He
didn’t answer me directly and we hung up. We started discussing it off and on
and he opened up the door for me to ask about law school again when he said
that they cannot tell me what to do. I took the window of opportunity. The
latest is I need to pick between law school and psychology and let him know by
Friday. Now, a new battle has popped its ugly head up and that is him not
giving me funding for my textbooks when they pay other people’s rent. He wants
me to go out and purchase the 5 or 600 dollars sometimes maybe even $800 worth
of textbooks each semester and then they will reimburse me for supplies and
textbooks. Um, no! This has never been done this way before so I want answers
as to why it is this way now other than
the fact I pushed them on one battle so now they are trying to come at me from
a different angle. I told them I fight enough battles on my own without having
to fight the very system that is there to help me by providing the funding I
need to go to school. I am hoping that I can get someone a lot better to handle
this or at least make him better through prayer.
