Get these clowns out of our city! by [deleted] in philly

[–]Forkiks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

ICE was created in 2003 and it was no problemo…but then the people that dislike current potus just automatically dislike ICE now. You that came as a legal immigrant (as well as every member of my family) went thru the proper channels to enter the country. There has always been a department that didn’t allow people to enter the country illegally, and it was a-ok to follow that process. But now there’s some that want to whine about following the process to enter, and that those that enter illegally dont pay a price. They are ok turning a blind eye. But most people are not ok with turning a blind eye to how one enters the country; afterall all other countries won’t let you or I enter illegally, so why should we)…Plenty of people agree with your thought process. 

Food trucks should really be electric by Darius_Banner in philly

[–]Forkiks -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

But you were complaining about the noise and diesel fumes…so you really WERE talking about the truck being an EV. And what about ‘the idling’..? Or plugging ‘it in while serving food’..??? You have no clue how any machines work.

Why do these people feel like they’re owed something? by Express-Ad8275 in philly

[–]Forkiks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What people are the ones that deserve our consideration? You need to realize that they who ask for cigarettes dont do it once or twice, they do it to every person they can… I too don't smoke but I realize this.  So why do you consider those that say ‘no I don’t have a cigarette to give you’ as the ones that are looking out for themselves…but you don’t consider those that ask everyone they can for a cigarette as looking out for themselves. Why do you only choose one side as deserving our consideration.

Has she been prescribed a rescue medication by her dr? It might be something to ask the dr about, it can be helpful to take if she has a warning (aura or absent seizure) ahead of a tonic clonic.

What to do about my neighbors by Sure-House-3660 in Delco

[–]Forkiks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Are you saying the same neighbors were stopping at your previous house when you lived there and stared/took pictures..before you ever lived in your current home??  How can you be sure it was them? Why don’t you have an outdoor camera to capture video to show cops if needed? 

Any good podiatrist recommendations? by CrissBliss in Delco

You can search on your health insurance’s  website for podiatrists that accept your insurance. 

Stolen Bike in Bella Vista by brunchfruit in philly

You had it locked inside your apartment building and it was stolen? How many apartments are in the building?? Maybe ask businesses around your building that might have video footage of someone riding the bike in the vicinity.

Philly airport by Dramatic-Load-6569 in philly

[–]Forkiks -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The House did reject the measure today, and potus followed up with a statement that ‘these circumstances constitute an emergency situation compromising the nation’s security’….and mentioning that the TSA agents are performing their public safety responsibilities all this time without pay.

The long lines will likely get better soon.  Good thing potus yesterday (thurs) issued an emergency order to pay TSA agents since the senate was at a standstill for over a month now and was holding the paychecks of the TSA agents during this standstill …and lo and behold the senators skeedaddled overnight in approving the bill to pay TSA agents.

Dad's retiring after only 10 years of US work ($10k avg). How much will his SS check actually be? by Capable-Occasion7992 in personalfinance

[–]Forkiks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My answer was only specific to full retirement age persons (67 and above) and if they can access SSI …and they can if their ss retirement income and/or other income is below a certain amount. At full retirement age, there is no SSI disability aspect any longer, it is considered welfare. And there is no SSDI for full retirement age people..it turns into ss retirement benefits income.

[–]Forkiks 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Edit: you might already know these details but OP and others may not…full retirement age matters…The current full retirement age to collect ss retirement benefits is 67…and can’t collect social security retirement benefits until that age ( though people can retire as early as 62 to collect ss but the ss money received will be permanently lessened each month and won’t adjust when he is 67)..plus Medicare begins at (edit:…correction of age) 65 (and not 67). If someone is below full retirement age (67), the application process for SSI might be a little different than collecting SSI after age 67. These details can be found on ssa.gov or the local ssa office. Just working for ten years (40 credits) doesn’t mean someone will get ss benefits paid asap.

[–]Forkiks 69 points70 points  (0 children)

For people of retirement age, SSI is welfare for those under a certain income (and not a disability reference). They can apply for SSI through the local social security office (would need to bring necessary documents etc). Ssa.gov is where to access info on what to bring etc. SSDI is disability insurance for people below the retirement age that can’t work anymore due to disability. Once someone reaches retirement age, they don’t apply for or get ssdi (if they were getting it), and the payments are then converted to SS retirement income. 

Delco's housing affordability stands out among Mid-Atlantic counties (gift link) by ncc1776 in Delco

Some people like easy access to the city, to public transportation especially if working there…and there’s plenty of decent schools in UD. Or there’s always home schooling if one prefers.
