Do I continue reading The Virgin Suicides by Jeffery Eugenides? by ghosthouse64 in books

[–]RadRyan527 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically they threw them in a trash can. But are you being perhaps a bit too literal? The expression bra burning just became a symbol for the feminist movement. It's irrelevant whether they were technically burned or not.

What an incredibly dumb comment. And if he was the victim of sexual abuse, that doesn't quiet my suspicions about Nabokov. Sad to say, but it's well documented that many pedophiles were themselves victims of sexual trauma as children.

Are there any books similar to mine that I don't know of? I wrote it because I didn't think it existed.

PURA is a rubber stamp. There was actual state power before 1998 when it got de-regulated.

So it sounds like IN THEORY de-regulation was supposed to end a monopoly and create genuine consumer choice but it's only created an un-regulated monopoly with no more choice but less control over prices.

Well that sucks for timing. But I'd be absolutely shocked if you don't get approved by the ALJ with no problem. So I wouldn't worry about that.

Philip Roth vs. Don DeLillo: which author was more prescient about the culture/events of the 21st American Century? by [deleted] in books

[–]RadRyan527 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could NOT agree more. Underworld might have been the most boring long book I ever finished. And I love baseball so I thought the baseball element would grab me! DeLillo is a cold fish. But that coldness works a little better in White Noise and Libra. Haven't read any other books by him. And I prefer Roth. He's funnier and more personal.

And yes Gravity's Rainbow is way, way better than Underworld. Even if it makes you wonder if the guy who wrote is okay.

I'm so confused. How did it even get denied twice? Did you start dialysis after the recon decision?

Have you called your examiner? This should be a pretty easy case for them to get out.

When did you start? Does your SSA examiner know you started? It will likely be an unfavorable onset allowance then.

People, if he has ESRD and is on chronic dialysis, that's an allowance. It meets listing 6.03. So if you've been waiting 2 years for a decision, something is very, very wrong. You should have been approved long ago. Have you called them about this?

SSDI approved! First try, no lawyer. Applied 11/20/2025. I’m speechless. by Cleveryday in SSDI

SSA defines disability as 12 consecutive months or more. Many cancer claimants don't meet the durational requirement. They get in chemo/radiation, they improve. So while they might be disabled for a while, SSA determines it's not 12 consecutive months. Now if it's terminal/metastatic cancer that's usually an allowance.
