So sad everyone has to fight and fight for a little help from our goverment after fighting for our country so hard to understand

if you are packing to go somewhere if you carefully fold and roll your clothes before putting in yoursuitcase you will have fewer wrinkles I did this for years and it always worked for me

T.J.Maxx always has those hangers discounted as they keep resupplying the store and they don't sell. Check there.

I have probably ironed my clothes less than 5% of my time in the last 30 yrs. I learned that trick with the dryer --- take things out and hang them out when the buzzer rings once. I LOVE it!!! Why is it just fine to iron fabric but NOT my clothes??? If I have an item that insists on needing ironing, no matter what I do, then I give it to the thrift shop!!!! LOL LOL I hadn't heard of folding and rolling the clothes, though -- I'll give it a try!

Sorry to hear you had to go back to work because of hubby's illness.....

God Bless you and DH. Keep fighting the VA. So sad that is necessary. I had the privilege of making a wheelchair lap quilt for a friend with AO and seeing him smile.

Thanks for the folding tip, hope God will give you both a good life. As to hangers, I have made hanger covers out of fleece & that works also do nothing will slip off.

We don't have hamper wrinkles either. Most of the time the clothes never make it in the hamper. lol

Whatever works for you - go with it.

Keep fighting. We had some similar problems with the VA. My husbands' deafness was caused by teaching on the rifle range. He had papers to prove it but it took years for them to admit it. There were people in the VA Hospital in NJ with "agent Orange" problems so there is someone who will listen if you can find the right one.

Hang in there and make them listen to you. A dear friend suffered for years from exposure to Agent Orange.

Our prayers are with you. Good luck!

I know about Agent Orange too. My husband died 1990 at age 52 of pancreatic cancer. When we filed papers we were told to fill out this long application. We did, then came a map, mark where you were and the dates of incountry. We did it. He got sprayed on going back and forth under the brush to an orpanage to help children. Then it was he was still alive and not egible for any help. After he died I refiled and said, well now he is dead.
After some time I received a check for about $1,400.00. Said that was all as they could not prove Agent Orange was the cause or not, and they had so many others to send monies too.

I am sorry you are having to go down this road, but I hope at some point you are able to pick up a needle and thread and quilt again, it saved my sanity...I am still quilting after 21 years and it still works for me. Bless you.
