The governor's office and I had a meeting of the minds yesterday.
A lady named Peggy Kasses, from the Office of Citizen Services (governor's), told me to contact a lady named Patricia something or other. I told her I had already done so. Patricia was LESS than helpful, and downright rude. Patricia was supposed to call me yesterday. Why was I NOT surprised when she didn't call. The only reason Patricia even has a job, is due to affirmative action. I told Peggy on the phone for the second time, that if Patricia was drawing a check paid by my taxes, I wanted her fired! Patricia is truly worthless. Peggy's phone is 888-419-3456. The power of the offshore boating community has worked before. I'm like a dog with a bone about this. I told whoever first answered the phone at the guv's office, that I wanted to speak to Peggy. She tried to patch me to her, but said Peggy was on the phone, that I could leave her a message. I told that woman that she didn't understand, that this IS a matter of life or death. She had me stay on the line, until she got Peggy on the phone. My US Senator is Mel Martinez, and he doesn't even have a phone number listed on his site. I left him a THIRD email saying that I didn't really give a damn if I live or die, but my mom gives a lot of damn! My state representative is Pat Patterson. I was at a bank if downtown Deland cashing a check, when I saw his room number on the directory, so I figured I'd just drop in and pay him a visit. His office was vacant, so I asked this hottie I'd talked to in the elevator if she knew where he had moved. She told me the new county building on NY Ave. It's the same building where I pay the water bill, so I know exactly where it's located. I intended on paying him a visit on Monday, but here it is Wednesday, and I simply have not had time to drop in.
Trust me, I'm not scared to see anybody, if I think they can help. Our fealess leader in Washington is not immune from me, if that's what it takes. There ain't no shame to my game. First I will try camping out at the ER at Shands, and do my best bacon frying in a pan routime, if that doesn't work, after I get out of Alachua County jail, I'm headed north to Tallahassee, and see if I can't land in Deleon County jail. I've already sent the Orlando Sentinal an email about the non-help of Mel Martines. By the time I'm done, I'll have more media coverage than Patty Sheenan, I swear it.
The best bet so far has come from Scott B, at Jackson Memorial at the University of Miami. I should be freed up enough to make a trip to Miami by next week. Shands is a whole lot closer. We just finished a job just a couple blocks from Shands. I've also called Shands in Jax, and Mayo Clinic in Jax.
When Peggy told me that she didn't have control over which county did what, I pointed out that the last time I checked, the governor was the governor of the WHOLE state of Florida, not just certain counties. I'm beginning to get pissed at the whole mess, I can even feel my blood pressure rising as I type this.
I have not yet begun to fight. Quitters never win, and winners never quit, and I'm no quitter. The guv and Mel Martinez can ignore me at there on peril. I swear by God himself, I will not quit.
I hear the same complaint from my parents, but in the opposite direction.
We start a Lowes in Deltona next month, right where a Publix used to be. You probably know where it is. It has a McDonald's in the out parcel, that we just did a major remodel inside. I think I spent more on material at that McDonald's than any of the other 159 or so we remodeled. I'm willing to be that's the reason the project was put on hold for so long. I'm sure the owner wanted more than Lowes was willing to pay him for that parcel. I don't blame him, it was a LOT of money.
Yes, of course I know...I went in there during my christmas visit and was like, whoa what the hell happened to the Publix?...Definitely a lot changing over there. Some good, some...let's just say not so good.

Sorry to hear Cuda.
I see you are talking to Mayo Clinic. A friend of mine in Texas needed a kidney transplant, and with the wait too long in Texas, drove to the Mayo Clinic in Minn. They fixed him up, no questions. Also check the medical research facilites, universities, etc.
Good luck and let us know how things are going.
I used to like Martinez, but he has turned into a political ghost. And the responses you are getting from Tallahassee? I have a quad brother been trying to get something....our economic stimulous at work; more government jobs for people that can't hold anywhere else using up all the money to actually help people.
Good Luck Cuda. Kent

I had a call from the governor's office again. It was a very nice lady, I think I spoke to her before on another matter, because she said her son retired from the Navy at the Mind Defense Lab in Panama City, which is exactly where my dad retired from the Navy in 1969. It was our second stint there at the MDL.
She directed me back to Patricia, who as a said, only has a job because of affirmative action. I told her that for the second time, if Patricia is drawing a paycheck from my taxes, I want her fired!

Cuda, below is contact info for Senator Martinez. I would ask for his administrative assistant and explain the situation. If his assistant understands your plight you'll have more productive discussion with Martinez.

Round and round it goes...sorry to hear you're having so much trouble. I wonder who Patricia's boss is? Not Peggy, I hope? Good luck - keep up the fight.

Peggy was as helpful as she could be. I must have gotten someone's attention at the governor's office. I had a message on my recorder from a lady named Kelly Joy, that said she had sent two letters to me concerning my case. I can tell you right now, I never got them. She must work under that Patricia biotche, because right after Kelly's message was one from Patricia, I could tell by her voice, saying that Kelly tried to contact me, and left me Kelly's number to do an interview by phone about my case. Somebody must have gotten into Patricia's azz, because she was trying to be nice, but you could tell she was choking on it. She never did leave her name, but thanked me at the end of the message, after I called and sent "numerous emails" (her own words) to the governor. She doesn't know the meaning of numerous! All I want them to do is be reasonable, and see it my way!
Tomorrow is the state Rep, Pat Patterson. His office is right here in Deland. He can expect a visit tomorrow.

The governor apparently. I've called Charlie before. I always start with who's name's on the top of the paper, and work down. I must say that Uncle Charlie has treated me well in the past. Makes me wish I had voted for him.:sifone:

My tumor is non cancerous, but I'm lost my balance almost totally. I have to make it to Jax today to pick up two checks.
Money ain't everything, but it makes misery a lot easier to deal with.
Joe,
No luck on my end. My sis spoke to her medical director and he spoke to someone who is on the board over at Shands. Same old song and dance. It was stated that there's nothing they can do to override the existing residency restrictions and that only the state can make that exception. Sorry man, we tried. Anyway, it sounds like you may be making some headway with the State, so best of luck with that. Keep on 'em, squeaky wheel gets the grease.
