It's hard to imagine having a life so empty that winning the obscure Broken Elbow would be a highlight.
Clearly, though, that's the case with DUmmy The Straight Story.
The whining skydiver is making a strong push for a runaway victory as the loudest DUmpmonkey bellyacher:

Had about all I can handle.
I have been off work since late Sept. on short term disability (which I pay for). Got my initial claim approved and got paid for a few weeks.
Was expecting weekly paychecks. Nope. Had to go back to Dr. for more paperwork. I went, and sent it in.
Prior to this I went for over a week when the claim should have been approved but the insurance company said they only got a partial fax from my Dr the first time. They faxed it all 4 more times. Then I got my own records and faxed them from 2 places. Then it had to go to a dr to review.
(And in researching the company have found that others have heard the same thing...sorry, we never got the faxes, even when the Dr. Office has confirmation that the fax went through).
So now they have my paper work and today told me it could be 10-14 more days before someone looks at it - even though nothing has changed, my dr. has me written off, they want to review all of my medical records again.
All the while I sit here with no paycheck, the one they did give me was short and all went to bills. No gas. My Dr. saw me and said she would just bill me later for the copay (she is awesome, and pissed at the disability company) and gave me some free samples until I can get my prescription filled.
Blah, blah, blah....whine, whine, whine...
Can't go back to work until release and was going to see a specialist but they cannot see me until later next month, and the lady at disability was pissy with me about it "Why haven't you seen so and so yet?" well cause I can't get in, can't afford it, and she is on north side of town and don't have the gas to get there until you jackholes pay me.
---Not taking this laying down, researching and going to call them and get medieval on their asses. My x relies on my support payments (she is disabled and on fixed income) to make it month to month.
I pay into the insurance to have pay continuation (at 2/3 normal pay rate). Last time I was off (earlier this year) I went through this hell and said screw it and got my Dr. to let me go back to work, and didn't get paid until much later (went 6 weeks without pay).
...blah, blah, blah, endless complaining, whining, and bitching...

5. Don't make a lot, and what I had went to helping the X with her problems while she fought with ssi
And before this job I was out of work a year, kind of eats away at things.
How about some more whining?

11. A legitimate question. Some years back it would have been 'because I was an idiot'
Since about 2006 I have been in and out of work. Temp jobs programming and such, contract lasts 6 months, then nothing for 6 more months.
You spend the next 6 months catching up on bills, rinse, repeat. Was doing ok, then off work 6 weeks and no pay - then get a pay that is 2/3 normal pay and you are paying up your bills (car insurance, child support, rent, etc).
I have helped out my nephew a lot (long story) and my X while she and her husband were trying to get disability (they finally got it, but she did not have enough hours for SSDI - she got SSI but that ended when he got SSDI, and they are living on very little a month and depend on me).
In other words, skydiving. And weed.
If the Omaha Weeper wants any chance at all for a Broken Elbow, he'd better show up soon with some paralysis, or at least an operation to fuse all his neck vertebrae.
I thought he was in pretty good shape with all his disability bullshit and his scams against the taxpayers of Omaha, but Straight Story has a clear lead now, in my mind.
It does the Weeper no good at all to brag about his widescreen when he's in a whining sweepstakes.
First reaction of a DUmpmonkey - call the government:

18. Have you called your Senators/Reps?
Do you live in an area where this would be of any help
