Second try…Mom called, she got a big check from Social Security and wanted to know why. I’ve been telling her this would happen since Biden signed the bill, I’m sad that she was so worried and confused when she got it. If anyone has been trying to call the Social Security office lately, this is one of the reasons it is so hard to get through to anyone. Mom isn’t the only one who got big money and is confused and scared to touch it. (I actually did tell Mom to not touch it. That was one of the last things Biden did before leaving office, I’m concerned that trump is going to want to claw it back.) Happy anniversary Lilly! I hope you have many more 🙂 > [@Paintcharge](#): > > Up and off to build a boat. My back is killing me. Please be careful. > [@FairyChatMom](#): > > I’ve got a cardiologist appt at 9!! So I’ve showered, dressed, and inhaled a piece of toast. Dang, I hate rushing like that. I hate it even more now that I’m retired, the rest of my day is always unsettled. > [@teelabrown](#): > > Then it’s off to a nursery to see if they have herb starters yet. I’m getting excited too, but it is still too early to plant. Of course this will be my first spring here, I’ll have a better idea next year. > [@The\_Stainless\_Steel\_Rat](#): > > As I can see from your posted picture. Lovely felines. I love watching them, it is so relaxing. Except for when they are rolling around like a couple of Loony Tunes Tasmanian Devils. Then I’m worried that he’s going to hurt her, but she’s the one in charge of all things. > [@FairyChatMom](#): > > Daughter had bought a wand/iron for just that thing, so she gave it a shot last night: That’s cute. I’ll bet it will be too much of a bother to do every day, but for a once in a while it will be fun. > [@dogbutler](#): > > And from last week, I renewed my lease, so I’m good for another 12 months, or The Apocalypse, which ever comes first. I hope you got a free bottle of vasoline with the rent increase. Bad drivers abound, I’ve never been anywhere that I haven’t seen that and worse on a regular basis. I’m glad you and Carmen are OK. > [@Misnomer](#): > > I did get to have dinner with my BFFs and my “nephew” last night, I am so happy you were able to get together with them, good friends cheer the soul. > [@(Old) Mad March Hares in the MMP](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-mad-march-hares-in-the-mmp/1015068/317): > > > [@(Old) Mad March Hares in the MMP](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-mad-march-hares-in-the-mmp/1015068/317): > > > > hopefully Barkley is lounging on a couch as I type. > > Awww…yes, hopefully! 🤞 The adoption was approved yesterday. I’m glad Barkley is out of the shelter but also sad because nobody spoils animals like we do. > [@Misnomer](#): > > Their size difference is always obvious in your pics, but never ceases to amaze me! It’s so funny that we never see it. I had to go back and look at the pic and Wow, he is a big boy! > [@Chefguy](#): > > You’d have to pencil it out to see if it would benefit you. Thank you, I think I’ll take a wander in the one in Charleston when next we go. As I recall, you can get in without a card, but you can’t check out without, right? > [@AskNott](#): > > **JanetheCane,** do your kitties make a special noise when they watch birds? Mine did; sort of a trill. George purrs. Jolene goes ackackack which cracks me up. > [@AskNott](#): > > The aforementioned Anniversary is today. Oh, sad. I trusted someone else to have gotten the names right. Happy anniversary!!! > [@nelliebly](#): > > I got the small piece out without problem, but the big piece kept slipping to places where I couldn’t see or reach it, and it hurt like a mutha. What a nightmare, I’m so sorry that happened. I hope there isn’t any cornea damage. So it was beautiful today, I put my baby tree out before I left and it is still warm enough to leave it out until dark. I stopped at my doctor’s office and got my MMR jab (one of two) and then went swimming for half an hour. I’m still achy but swimming seemed to help a little. Or maybe it was the nice warm air, the cold makes my hip cry just going to get the mail. I’m seeing new faces but also hearing a lot of anger from both sides which isn’t at all helpful. Sigh. Mom’s calling again. I always love talking to her, but it hurts my heart when she is this confused about something. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-who-me-i-started-the-mmp-today/1015386)._
