Newbie with a question

[Guest guest]

Hi, Sylvia. Welcome! An RFFC (receptive by feature, function, or

class) involves receptively (nonvocally) identifying an item by a feature

(characteristic), function, or class (category), i.e.:

RFeature: Point to the one that's blue/big/rough/round.

RFunction: Show me the one you read/eat/play with/wear.

RClass: Where's the food?

TFFC is a tact by FFC. It's identical to RFFC except that there's a

vocal, rather than a nonvocal response, i.e.:

TFeature: Tell me the one that's blue/big/rough/round.

TFunction: Which one do you read/eat/play with/wear? (student says answer)

TClass: Where's the food? (student answers " Cookie. " )

Hope this helps!

Best,

First off... hey there )

Second... where would i go about finding a height/weight chart to

determine my ideal CRON body weight?

I am wanting to adopt this way of living but am trying to get some

info first.

Also... bloodwork? Should i go for it now before i even start the

transition stage? My transition might be quite long. I eat a lot of

high cal/low nutrient foods (

Thanks in advance.

1> There is no such thing as a CRON target weight chart, the goal is to eat less

calories and hopefully

not let your weight fall dangerously low.

2> It's a good idea to get blood work, before and during CR to review changes to

certain markers. There

is much we don't understand about nutrition and blood work gives us some

additional feedback to help

manage what we need to eat.

3> Hi cal/low nutrient foods are the exact opposite of CRON. That said it is

good to slowly transition

into low calorie eating. While you should immediately focus on getting full

nutrition and avoiding bad stuff

like tans-fats. Getting the calories down is secondary to getting nutrition up

and can be phased in

with moderation. You have the rest of your presumably long(er) life.

Be well,

JR

go to county clinics

hire a lawer, only a lawer knows the right way to fill out those

forms. do nothing with out him. the regection is part of the

process.

as well as a long wait.

make sure that the lawer is accunted with the ssd system, & will

take the case quo bono, meaning you owe nothing until you have won &

gotten your settlement money.

be pepared to go to court,

that you have a long list of dr records

beware that your every move is being watched. so becareful what you

do out side the house, esp in the lawn or drive way. or any where

else you go.

love light,

mary

Many of have walked in your shoes. I know I have. First thing get a lawyer.

Get a lawyer who specializes in SSD cases. There are many firms that will

take your case, who only charge if you win. I live in WI, but I used a firm

out of New York called Binder and Binder, all my contact with them was on the

phone or through the mail. But after 2 appeals they did help me win my case.

They do have a 1800 number, if you are interested email me at

_bookadict49@..._ (mailto:bookadict49@...) and I will find it for you.

Don't give up

most cases are denied the first time.

So here is how I survived in the meantime. Our hospital has a program

called community care that allows low income to see a doctor. I f you live in a

small town, ask at hospitals in larger cities near you. Ask at wherever you go

for unemployment in your area, if they are aware of any programs. Ask local

churches. These programs are out there, but they are not advertised, you have

to LOOK for them. Most of our medications are available from the drug

companies through their assistance programs, you can find out information about

on

the Internet, by going to that drug companies web site, look under insurance,

there is usually a 800 number to call, call it and ask questions. Do you have

an organization that helps the handicapped in your town? this is another good

place to ask for information, or if you a local cancer center, they will

know what programs are available to help you see a doctor.

I know this sounds like a lot of work, but if you take a deep breathe and

start, it will help you at least start to feel somewhat better. I did this, I

lived this for almost three years. The day I got my first SSD check I felt like

I had been reborn. Laos look in to food stamps, and any other county help

your state provides. Food stamps are not even stamps anymore, they look like a

credit card, no one else even knows what you are doing, and if they do so

what, you need to survive somehow. OK I will get off my soapbox now, but I feel

very passionate about how difficult it is for us to get any help. Laos have

you appiled for SSI, the temporary part of social security? Good luck and

don't give up. in WI
