Linda - sorry for the reason you have all that money to spend, but you're sure spending it on the RIGHT STUFF! Have fun playing!

Oh, I remember QFaD. What was the host's name? I can picture him. Was it Jack somebody?

And buying all those toys does make you a queen. And that's for more than a day, bc you'll be having so much fun with your new things (and so will your DH.

Drema you hit the nail on the head. I told myself the same thing.

I have bought a few cuts of fabric lol. Will get you pictures soon.

My aunt passed and I am behind.

Thank you all for your incouragement.

Linda D

Congrats on getting your money!! It's such a HIGH isn't it? My DH is also on disability and when he got his he took me fabric shopping!!!
Hope you take pictures and relive this for a long time!!! Enjoy!!!

congratulations that you won your case. Some do. some don't. depends on if you were able to work long enough to get points. it's a crazy system and your crazy by the time you win or lose. good for you.
I remember Queen for a Day. My little gma was on it and my aunt made video tapes for all 12 of her kids and some for other family members.
She was very deserving of that title, as I know you are deserving of this celebration, grammo. Hubby must be relieved too.
It was a mixed emotional thing when my hubby got his, and he had to sign papers when he worked, so that when he won his case...we had to give up all money and pay an extra 30.00!
I am happy it all worked out for you. Go someplace fun and you and hubby make some memories. :D

Sounds more like you won the lottery than a disability case!! Glad to hear you are having fun with your earnings.

Unfortunately no even close to lottery. I have bought things that I can use in the time that I have each day because I can not do regular things or walk very far. Most of my work goes to charity.

Household things are things needed to make my life easier and to help ease pain in my back. Get tired of asking dear hubby to do everything for me because I can't lift or reach up. So I am splurging on a few things for in the house. As well as the quilting things to make time go a little faster for me.

You are all wonderful for your good thoughts and wishes. Do not want anyone to think my disability is a scam because it definitly isn't. I was just so excited about affording a few things I have wanted for a long time and as my hubby is retired we was just barely living paycheck to paycheck. Forgive me if I offended anyone by bragging about what I got. That was not my intention.

Hope everyone is ready for a quilty weekend. I am trying to get quilt room in to order so I can use my new toys but it takes a while as I get tired very easily.

(((((HUGS)))))) for all my friends.

Love ya all Linda D

I don't think you offended anyone. We're all happy for you to be able to buy quilty things to enjoy our favorite pastime!

Did you get a mega quilter by Viking?

I bought one last year while visiting in SC. My DH talked me into it. I can feel for you on disability.

The quilter and frame took up my whole dining room, so DH and son built me a new studio, not in the house (my own room), so I could go out there after my surgery this winter. I'm still in recovery mode and will be for about a year.

Happy Quilting.

I definately understand about not being a scam. My husband had a head injury at work 30 years ago and he now has seizures and blackouts and a lot of other things. We had to go through a lot to prove it and he feels like people are always watching and judging him. I also have a grandson with autism and people see a perfectly healthy boy and think we just need to discipline him more. They don't understand he is handicapped.
I remember when my husband got his and it is like Christmas in July!!!
You enjoy what you got because you deserve it!! :D :D
