WELL SPIT! I mean, it is good in the long run, because it gives me a bit more money each month, but now I have to call those nitwits back AGAIN! I think what happened is that because my name isn't my maiden name, the lady assumed that I was still married to the second disaster, although I clearly TOLD her that I am not. She simply heard what she expected to hear, not what I said.Are you currently married? If not, and if you were married to Mr #1 for more than 10 years, you can still get his SS. I know this because my mom's friend went through a whole situation to get her ex's SS after her second husband died and I heard everything about it, lol. But of course, if it works out better for you this way, that's great! Just make sure that's really the best one.

YAY! Happy that you are doing better than expected!I've pretty much been off-site since I shattered my right wrist on February 20th, and now that I'm able to get back (at least a little) I thought I should give everyone an update.
And STOP PAWING AT THAT CONE!
So, tomorrow being Sunday, and my day off of the computer, I'm going to attempt to assemble my new dresser all by myself. The box is horribly heavy, however, I think that once I get it opened it will be workable. I mean, the box weight is for the frame and four drawers. I can assemble each drawer, move it to the bedroom, then move just the frame, which should be significantly lighter. Yeah. That will work. I think. I hope. Maybe
pray for me....
