That is perfect, one way. Why don’t you drive over nd meet me at the far end so I can get. Ride back?
4 years agoHey, what are you complaining about? This is the highly sanitized version. If I really wanted to gross folks out I would have shown it a month ago.
4 years agoMan. Reading about your experience makes my blood boil! The tug-o-war between helplessness and rage. Just ridiculous. Hope it gets sorted soon. My guess? September 30th 2020. Good luck, Scott and Rachel. Been really enjoying your adventures.
4 years agoI like the idea of the HAC celebratory event.
I pick 7/11/20, Grumby Anniversary #12.
So, who wins if you pick up the paper check and have it in hand on 7/9 and then you deposit it to your account on 7/10? Bruce or me?
What a ridiculous experience!! Very well summed up by Mike's tale of the bankers version of the Golden Rule. (Creepy. Just creepy!)
Is that Simon? Where is his marshmallow mask?
4 years agoPessimistic? I thought it was very positive. Picking the day after the election for you to receive your new Social Security card makes the assumption that there will be an election. Picking the day after Inauuguration Day for you to receive you $4000 assumes that there will be an inauguration of a new president.
4 years agoWhy not new growth? It looks pretty new to me. Or is ‘new growth’ one of those botanical terms with a specific meaning?
4 years agoIf you don’t count the predictions that we’ll never see our cash again, this is the most pessimistic prediction yet. I might have predicted that, Frank.
4 years agoJuly 8th! That will be our 32nd wedding anniversary - a double reason to celebrate. We’ll have to check with the awards committee about that fine print though if you should be the lucky winner. It does seem like we ought to be able to keep something for ourselves to celebrate with. Maybe we could underwrite a HAC event instead?
4 years agoSeptember 1st! Our son’s birthday. I like that. It feels a bit optimistic, but perhaps.
4 years agoOdd. Ken and Judy also predict we’ll get our money back when he’ll freezes over. Must be a sentiment that comes from living in such a cold climate.
4 years agoSo, I am also one of those people who have not seen my SS card in about 25 years. A few years ago, I decided I should try to get a new one, but was put off by the idea that I had to send my actual passport off to the Social Security office and just hope that they mailed it back some day, so I decided it wasn't worth it. Our nearest social security office is a couple hours drive away, and I really didn't want to blow a whole day dealing with it.
Fast forward to today, your post inspired me to get online on the social security website, and I found that I now live in one of the 'good' states (I think because we now have Real ID's), where I can now just type in my license number, and do the whole thing electronically. So, thanks for the post!
Anyway, I think this is going to be about a 3 month process for you, so I'm guessing September 1st.
I agree with Kathleen, it's a great journal (except for the photos of squirrels) and good for anyone who is stuck at home, which is basically all the rest of us! You shouldn't feel guilty about being out there freely riding about just because the rest of us can't figure out how to do it.
4 years agoWow, John Kerry! Seems like ancient history.
4 years ago
Our anniversary is 3 days before yours!
4 years agoIf the timing is that close, we’ll try to time it so that it’s a tie and you two can share 1st and 2nd.
