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.
Why couldn't you be dealing drugs like normal people?

[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.

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.

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.

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.

Yikes, sj! Nothing like that kind of governmental asstwattery that makes you motivate to NOT get married!

So true.

Yeah, I think this is one of the subconscious reasons I have been putting off planning the wedding because I just didn't want to deal with this.
