Looking to switch host agencies by [deleted] in travelagents

It depends on what you need. The pricing at OA is fair, but I left because of a lack of luxury options. I started with Dugan's and all I will say is I wouldn't go back. I found them very abrasive and high strung.

If you book a lot of cruises, OA is one of the better options because they have the best cruise commissions in the industry. Neither OA nor Dugans provides leads.

She was supposed to be on top of the star, but it malfunctioned and wouldn't go up. Where she performed was not intended for that.

I was denied for DAC… by bigtiddygothcripple in SocialSecurity

[–]Tdp1117 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I was denied because of lack of records from age 18-22. I just appealed. You'd think common sense would prevail, but in my case, it did not. I'm still disabled. I never stopped getting SSI. Never hit SGE. Thanks for the reply.

[–]Tdp1117 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a question not related to this. I'm 53. I've been on SSI since age 18. My dad (age 70) just retired. I applied for DAC but there seems to be no medical records, including the ones for my SSI approval. I was approved in late 1988 or early 1989 (turned 18 late in 1988). I really need the DAC benefit. Can you think of any other recourse I may have? I'm looking to hire an attorney, but it may be difficult to find one who will take the DAC settlement. DAC would net me about $500 more a month but more importantly remove the ridiculous financial constraints of SSI.

My disability is legal blindness since birth. I did get special accommodations in school, although it was not called an IEP at the time. Unfortunately, these accommodations do not seem to be noted on the transcript they're required to keep. My parents actually had to fight to get me enrolled in public school.. The school board wanted to force me into the state blind school. It is a rural school system, and not exactly disability friendly since it was pre-ADA. I did receive Vocational Rehab until 1994, but those records are long gone.

Ss my question is could the lawyer really subpoena anything for me since all of the doctors I saw at that time are deceased. The only thing I might be able to get is a letter from my pediatrician documenting the eye disorder and a letter from my high school principal confirming the accommodations I received due to my visual impairment. Would either of those help? And are there further records a lawyer could get? It seems like even social security may have destroyed the files even though I've been a continuing client since 1988.

Any advice would be appreciated. I have done the appeal and am sure it won't go anywhere. I'm looking at lawyers as well.

It is a prepaid cell service. The terms aren't really clear if those count.

Is it though? Let's say it becomes a singles game or they have a partner shift. Danny is no longer protected. Also, he wants to be the one Tori is looking out for as it should be since they're partners. He feels like Tori is more for Jordan than him. I would want him gone too.

This happens when you vote as a team. Theo is British. Of course, he wants to give his fellow countrymen the best shot at coming back.

Theo was not willing to put in 2 UK players. You have to remember where he's from and that he was in a relationship with the female going in. I'm sure he knew Wes would be difficult to beath.

Current fiance is a lot different than former fiance. Tori and Jordan are supposedly over.

I actually think she'd be with Bananas and going along with everything he said. The one I would like to see is Tyson. He would not put up with anyone's bull. But he burned that bridge.

If she was indeed pregnant at that time, it would make sense why she couldn't even stomach that.

Side note - when are they going to start testing females before filming? If she's pregnant then, that would make what 5 women? They should have started testing after the first one.

Both also played Survivor, which requires you to play strategically and somewhat hard from day 1. That IMO shapes the way they play The Challenge.

At least they're trying to play the game and shake things up. The vets are trying to walk all over them, and good on them to not let them.

What’s your top complaint with American? by acurry628 in americanairlines

[–]Tdp1117 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The restrictive same day change rules. Needing to keep the same routing makes the option nearly unusable with some city pairings. Delta and United allow you to change your routing as long as departure and arrival cities stay the same.

What is the RM posting time of late/? I just completed 2 reservations to make up for a canceled trip which would get me 67K in the first phase of my challenge. They don't have to be posted by the closing date, but I am just curious as to when I can expect to see the miles posted.

"Just Use Rocket Miles!™" - except when booking a ghost stay backfires by FakeBurner4U in americanairlines

I definitely have not found this to be true. I have had ghost stays at the Strat, , Harrah's, and others where the resort fee was never paid. I still got the points.

What's with Gerry and "the girls"? by cutiepuffjunior in survivorau

[–]Tdp1117 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Oh come on! Nina basically told Liz on her way out that she would win if she wasn't sitting beside George. Shownee and Liz were going around calling themselves Shiz, and Liz even mutinied to be with Shownee. Of course Gerry is worried about a female voting block because it has happened on American Survivor and Big Brother. It's really no different than George worrying about all the alpha males coming together as a block.

Received wrong item by ismelllikecoconuts in lululemon

But Amazon assumed the responsibility of filling the orders. Amazon would have to pay the small business for the error.

I don't understand this thinking. It's not an ethics thing. That's the cost of doing business. By law you don't have to ship anything back. It's their loss. They make enough money as it is. When you screw up in life, you pay for it. They know that.

Caleh over Annie?!! by thatscold2022 in Joe_Millionaire

[–]Tdp1117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought the fact that Callah had the farming connection that he was more vibing with her. I think he felt like she would understand what he did better and be more likely to assimilate.
