Kaylee: So how many fell madly in love with you and wanted to take you away from all this? Inara: Just the one. I think I'm slipping.

Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Crappity, sj.

Did I miss Smonster's birthday? Happy belated b-day, Smonster!

Sorry, yesterday was an exhausting day, and I was just not as present as I could have been.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Is this a different program than SSI?

Yes, it's SSDI, and I'm not qualified to apply for SSI, according to them.

Tea:

I'm feeling completely pathetic right now. I wish I could just get a regular job and work. The one positive is, if I do get a part-time job after we marry, I don't have to answer to or report to anyone about what I make.

Now tagless for your comfort.

If you're married, they take TCG's income into your SSDI calculations, correct? He'd made too much for you to qualify? Sorry about the news, sj. I know how frustrating that is.

ION, It's TCG's birthday, right? Happy Birthday wishes for him!

It's slight more complicated. I don't qualify for SSDI at all if I get married, unless I marry someone else who was also declared handicapped as a child. I don't qualify to apply for SSI because of TCG's income.

Yes, it is! He opened his prezzies last night and is spending today registering his new car.

Hubby must be on SSI, then.

It's probably different for your Hubby, Connie. He was rendered disabled as an adult, while I was born disabled. So, he is able to collect under all of the money he put in to SS over the years. I have to collect on what my parents put into it. Different rules for different circumstances.

Oh, yeah, that would make a difference.

Nephew J is having his heart tests done this week. So far the news is: no surgery on the pace maker, no surgery on the leaky valve, and possible surgery on the blocked artery. Any ~ma you have to spare for him this week would be so appreciated.

Always Anti-fascist!

So, that must be McCain's secret privatization plan. Marry us all to beer heirs. not to mention that I think they call it a fixed income cause it makes me feel neutered.
