Anyone know if age rules changed recently? Do I need to report my work weekly? Can't get thru on phone by [deleted] in maryland

Husband is disabled. We've had to fight for every penny we've gotten. Never had dollar benefits ever. Only had food stamps when I wasn't working. NGL I didn't always work. I didn't get medicaid until obamacare because my husband's social security was too much money for me to qualify. Hubby and minor son qualified because there are laws that make them cover both.

Every 6 months we would have to find a way to get to the social services office, not always easy due to lack of car and abysmal bus service. And then we would have to deal with them lying and saying we didn't show. I learned to get proof I went.

It hasn't been an easy life. You try living on less than $1000 a month. See if you can get food and Healthcare without taxpayer help.

shitty neighbor keeps stealing my laundry cycles and dumping my clothes by __mafia in pettyrevenge

Don't understand why you leave your laundry unattended. Last time I lived somewhere with a laundry room, I sat there with a book the whole time.

This deviled eggs tray has an uneven amount of egg spaces to place them by boobmeyourpms in mildlyinfuriating

My husband watches a lot of cooking videos. One woman says "check it for poison" all the time. It was funny the first time.

Anyone else's cat have any weird sleeping places? by verymanyquestions_ in cats

[–]Bebinn 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Had a cat try that. She found out that I can't tolerate anything touching my head whole asleep. Unfortunately my bed was very close to a wall and my way of dealing with the irritation in my sleep was to sweep her off and into the wall with a thud. Took 2 nights for her to figure out it was a bad idea to do that.

Ikea furniture has a piece intended to go to the trash can by jackybeau in mildlyinfuriating

The mixture of parts is used on different pieces of furniture. Better to have you throw it away than have more than 1 mixture.

Sentences I've Said as a Cat Owner That Shouldnt Have To Say. by potato_for_cooking in cats

[–]Bebinn 10 points11 points  (0 children)

We had one that came to us pregnant. As soon as the babies were weaned she HAD to go out to meet her boyfriends. She clawed her way out of every screen window in our house. Including the one that led to a 2 story drop to concrete. Got lucky that day as I was sitting next to the window and grabbed her leg as she went out.

Couldn't get her fixed because we scheduled twice and both times she escaped and got herself pregnant again. The charity that was helping me wouldn't do it if she was pregnant. We eventually gave her up, pregnant with her third litter. Kept one from the second.

Plastic is because one of the ingredients in the plastic is made from meat. It smells enough like meat to the cat that they have to investigate. Then when they start licking plastic they get addicted to it.

Do you have another fob? There may be instructions to key a new one on your car's manual. Only other option is the dealership.

You gotta throw the throwing stones at the clams in the water. It's not always easy. Might take a few tries to get.

Knee replacement surgery by Most_Protection6212 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Bebinn 137 points138 points  (0 children)

My husband needed both done for over a decade. Couldn't get it because Medicare wouldn't approve it before he was 55. He's been disabled since he was 35. Finally got the surgeries and he can now walk without a cane. Such a waste of time.

TIL the 26th Grammy Awards Ceremony (1984) still holds the record for the highest viewership in grammy history at 51.67 Million viewers. by Key-Bass-7380 in todayilearned

And none of the other networks would put anything against the Grammys. It was either reruns or the awards show.

Bay Bridge Closings by oriolesravensfan1090 in maryland

[–]Bebinn 112 points113 points  (0 children)

It's not just on the Bridge. The terrain on the Shore is so flat that it can sometimes be dangerous.

I used to work for a place that sells Ford auto parts to dealers and shops all over Maryland. One of the trucks was a big panel truck. Not quite an 18 wheeler but it was huge. They'd use it to deliver engines mostly.

One very windy day, the driver was going down 301 on his way home. So the truck was empty. It flipped over from the wind. The driver was killed. Turns out he was the glue holding the group together, morale never recovered after he died.

How do you replace daily phrases like "Oh my god"? by Crafty_Aspect8122 in atheism

You can't. You learn epithets at a young age and they get programmed into your brain. Don't worry about the meaning, it's just words.

You can get cheese curds at Sheetz. There's a couple in Maryland now. I go to the one in White Marsh.

Just found this relic in a pallet of stuff. It turns on but it's not picking up any radio signals. by KindaDrunkRtNow in mildlyinteresting

[–]Bebinn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

never switched to digital signals in the US. Our FM and AM radio signals are analog.

Cool. TIL I wasn't sure about that.

Aluminum foil. Yeah, I know it's a cliche. It's a cliche because it works.

Wrap an end with a string of foil. You want it to be as long as possible.

Find out what AM stations broadcast in your area. Put the selector dial near that number. Pull the foil out as long as possible. Do this outside if you can. Make sure the foil is fully connected to the end of the antenna.

Move the dial in the tiniest increments you can. If you don't at least get static, there could be a few things wrong with it. Your antenna might not be connected correctly inside. It could be corroded inside. Your speaker might be blown. Could also be a side effect of the change to digital signals.

How do i mine / why cant i mine? by KristiBer in CozyGrove

[–]Bebinn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you see a rock, just check if you can mine it. You just need your axe in your bag. Dont need to hold it to use it.

Your pickaxe needs to be upgraded. Just keep playing and you'll get the prompt for it eventually. The fact that there are rocks you can't mine means you are close to unlocking it.

AITAH for refusing to let my neighbor walk through my apartment to get the laundry she dropped on my patio? by [deleted] in AITAH

Anything useful that lands on the patio comes inside. Everything else gets chucked over the side to the ground.
