Dear People;
I inclose my 1989 State income tax forms.
First let tell you that I am unhappy, then I will tell you
about some of my miseries.
They started when I was young. I had a brother who
was two years older. He was the white haired boy. Could
do no wrong. Off he went to college while my sister and I
were taken out of school and went to work at age l3. She was
two years younger. Worst of all, he arranged for me to
have surgery for a hernia that I did not have. No hernia
but lots of complications, including a very big varicosity of
my left leg and thigh. I was age l3. All his life my
brother caused trouble to others. He enjoyed it.
I had my recent calamity, by braking my hip on April 15/89 as
I was about to mail my State Taxes. My neighbor, Mrs
Tinney offered to mail them. She was supposed to get a
xerox of my federal taxes first. I had made out the State
forms and included my check for $l,000.00. I have never let
anyone mail my taxes before. I did not like it but I was
rushed off to hospital by ambulance. There was not that
much hurry. My neighbor has told me over and over that
she mailed every thing. However, I find that my check to
you for $l,000.00 has not been cashed.
I am still in a wheel chair. I also use a walker but every
step is painful to my left knee.
In spite of everything, I am still working on my book about
how to stay healthy and reasonably happy. I have begun to
send out selections of it.
For years I worked with Veterans, at the Veterans hospital
here. I was frequently quite helpful.
It is not easy to find good help. I have a couple of handymen
and a kindly neighbor that does most of my shopping. A cook
and a housekeeper are not so easy to come by.
In spite of everything, I am happy to be on the planet and
not living in most other places.
Wishing all of you good health and some fun once in a while
