My mood about this has lightened in the last few days. I'm not sure why except that I do realize that thirty years of ACERA-induced depression is plenty and whatever part of me controls my moods seems to agree.
While I will check with Legal Aid once I'm back in Ca., for the moment I'm thinking about non-legal actions. I don't mean illegal actions, tempting as those thoughts may be. But I lost in Court to a judge who said it's OK for them to lie to me so I'm thinking more along the lines of public ridicule. If I could get some publicity for them - ridiculing their incompetence I probably would not worry anymore about the money. People like this hate to be made fun of so I'm thinking of the best ways to do so,
