Many may remember a past poster here who posted under the name Hobot. He had a very unusual way of writing that many found so cryptic as to be unintelligible. I found his posts to be oddly fascinating.

I discovered him on Facebook some years ago, recognizing his writing style in a post he made on one of the Norton groups. I've followed him as a 'friend' since.

The main reason for my note is to let the board know that Hobot is currently in a nursing home in Arkansas and apparently not doing well. Someone is posting on his Facebook account seeking support for him.
 
His name is Steve Schriver. I corresponded with him a bit. He was a bit in fantasy land, but a very nice guy. I think he is Afro-American, so he is hip and very funny. He was always ' ON THE GRAVEL !'.
Do you have the postal address of the place where he is now, I would like to send him a letter.

Thank you Steve.

I wasn't going to mention his name but that is correct. However, he is not Afro-American. If anyone wants to see his status you can look him up on Facebook and read the post from his 'lawyer.'

I'm not sure of his exact location right now as his 'lawyer' posted that he was being evicted from the nursing home where he recently was being treated. The nursing home is in Berryville AR and is detailed on Facebook.

I guess if we're in this much I might was well cite the post made by Steve's 'lawyer.' For better or worse, here's what was posted:

URGENT -- PLEASE HELP ME TO SAVE DOCTOR SHIVER'S LIFE! Is there anybody out there willing to do that? (By helping him, it will not cost you one penny.) *** Dr. Shiver's situation is dire. It is a matter of life and death. And it is the 11th hour. *** I am his attorney-in-fact (albeit retired and without a staff to assist me). What is needed is just one email to the Division Chief of the Arkansas Dept of Human Services, requesting her to NOT close his application for Medicaid assistance over an unfair, unjust reason that the Dept will not give me the chance to challenge. *** If his case is closed THIS WEEK, Dr. Shiver will NOT receive critical medical care and medications necessary for his continued survival. *** HERE ARE THE FACTS: At the end of August, Dr. Shiver suffered a massive heart attack. He was rushed to a local hospital and put into the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit. The chief cardiologist determined that: 1. he suffered a heart attack that reduced his 'heart capacity to below 15%'; 2. he was drowning in his own body fluids because his heart could not push the fluids out of his lungs; 3. he had blood clots in the stump of his amputated leg that caused the heart attack. 4. he was extremely emaciated, weighing only 112 lbs (and he is 6-ft 2-in tall). Instead of attempting surgery or invasive treatment, the hospital sent him to a nursing home as an 'end-of-life' hospice patient ... BECAUSE Shiver was UNDERINSURED and could not afford the ungodly cost of substantial medical intervention. *** You see, I am confident that Shiver is 'savable' with proper treatment. His critical medications were stopped last week due to inability to pay for such. The man is dying faster now. Additionally, the nursing home costs $8,800 monthly for 'private pay', which he can no longer afford; therefore, he is being discharged from the nursing home to go somewhere that God only knows. *** I filed a Medicaid application for the purpose of securing payment for proper medical care, his vital medications, and nursing home bill. The Government WRONGLY DENIED that MEDICAID application. The Government is NOT giving me the opportunity to challenge that WRONGFUL DENIAL within the timeframe needed to save his life. I need to file a civil rights action in Federal District Court, but that takes more time than Shiver has got left right now. THAT'S WHY I NEED YOUR HELP. *** A HIGH-RANKING Government official is involved. I REQUEST YOU TO SEND AN EMAIL TO THAT OFFICIAL AND ASK HER TO REVIEW SHIVER'S CASE BEFORE CLOSING IT. Say something to this effect, 'Please review Dr. Shiver's case before closing his Medicaid application' (that is all that is asked of you). *** The official's name & email is: MARTINA SMITH, LTSS Division Manager martina.smith@dhs.arkansas.gov *** THE POWER OF THE PEOPLE'S VOICE IS ALL THAT IS LEFT TO SAVE DR. SHIVER FROM BEING KILLED BY AN INDIFFERENT MERCILESS GOVERNMENTAL ACTION!!!

Has anyone sent the email?

I presume it is best coming from a US citizen ?

I met Steve under a giant tree at a N.Y. rally in scorching heat . He kept going on and on about natural holistic health . He asked about how much I drank and his eyes went wide when I told him . Tossed another 99 cent stein of beer with him and changed the topic to how is the Norton running ? He said poorly , both mufflers are rotted out and finished and I have a long ride back home . I said just remove them and drive home next day with straight pipes , might be fun . He jumped into removing them and by the time I came back with another cold 99 cent stein he was strapping the rusted out old things to the passenger seat . I went swimming in the pool to survive . 110 F .

I just sent an email to the woman listed at DHS. That's the department of health and human services. I just sent one to the Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders of the state of Arkansas. Here are copies of the emails. I will let you know if I hear anything.

Al or is that AI for artificial intelligence. I'm not one to bust on Old folks, but I've always stood up for people who can't defend themselves. Insisting that someone is Afro-American and hip because they're black is made by a person who has no clue. I would imagine you've never met a black person in your life. Just because you're black doesn't mean you're cool or hip neither does being white. I have plenty of friends of all colors. I'm 100% Polish American and had to put up with all the jokes while I was growing up. It didn't bother me because the people making them were inferior. Yeah we had our jokes too, like this thing has been Coon tuned, or afro engineered. Anyway Al have a great night hopefully you'll shoot a load on your Seely.
