More about me: Hi My Name I Jeff, friennds call me Bags(long story) I live in alaska. Been here since I was 20 years old. I live in Fairbanks, one the coldest spots n the state. We often seen thirty beow zero in the winter. It is not nearly as tough as it sounds , we have no hurricanes ,nor tornados. We do get hundresds of tiny eathquakes every year as their are appx twelve active Valcanos in the southern part of the state. They rarely cause any harm as they are mostly on the Islands southwest of Anchorage. I'am single and live with my buddie shadow , a black lab. Curently I am fighting with the Social security system trying to get SSDI and Medicade so I can get some work done on my back. I worked thirty years in construction and it finally caught up with me. I have one severlly heniated disk a couple fused, and two bulging.Probally a result of the scoliosis I was born with and before they they screened for it as they do now.I live in pain 24/7 and am hoping that with some surgery that will be reduced so I can get back to work. I have a cabin to finish and I would certainly like to get back into the normal world. Depression and anxiety go along with the pain, so other than my dog I have few pleasures in life, lately. I'm hoping that will all change soon as I have a hearing with SSDI soon and hopefully can get get that pain that runs down my leg to go away. I have faith that it will work out for the best. Sometimes it gets me down, but I realize that there are a lot of folks out there that havve no hope of healing and I know in my heart that I will get better one day soon
