What made your day a crap one?

[Twelvefret]

I'm 67, I get what I want just by asking for it, and it costs me nothing. The Social Security Administration is pretty amazing. I can just go to the local pharmacist and ask for it, no doc visit, no waiting for an appointment.

Be thankful to Francis Perkins who worked with FDR, a Democrat, whose idea it was to establish a basic social safety net for Americans referred to as Social Security. However, it is Medicare or a Medicare Part D that provides you with pharmacy benefits.

Perkins had witnessed the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire where young girls, some with clothing on fire, jumped to their deaths because the factory owners had locked the doors that would have allowed an escape route. This led to reforms and worker rights.

Yes, the American system is amazing, but it is being threatened as we speak.

For Randy, it's just another Monday
Soaps are just a distraction, but not enough

67??

And we are talking to you like you were a teenager. That's what I would like about my father too, but no..

And this is what I like with most of the members here. Don't know exactly their age, but I talk to them like they were my schoolmates ! (In a good way)

I'm the same person I was when I was a teenager, just not as agile.

Not crap for me as we have escaped the snow and wind with just one fence panel out. However I hope everyone is safe and well with no property damage. If you have a journey today take care.

Glad to hear you and yours are safe.

A trip to sort a slow puncture ended up with 4 new tyres.

I knew the fronts needed replacement but were worse than I thought. Down to tracking being off it seemed. Rears were cracking, plus nail in sidewall, cause of slow and unrepairable.

Wallet lighter by quite a bit…

Hope you’re not being penalised towards your pension for having too much money.

They do not do that, they just drive you crazy sometimes trying to make healthcare appointments.

 

[SpeedyPC]

They do not do that,

In Australia they do, my father was penalised for having too much money.
