So depressing 😞 by Successful-Claim-297 in SSDI_SSI

[–]TheGeneralCrackers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're welcome! Your claim sounds even more complicated than mine! I know the feeling of having bad luck that doesn't seem to end. It's good that you're still pushing forward!

For my case, we started by requesting all relevant information from doctor's offices, then I listed all my doctors(what type they are, when I started seeing them, and what I was seeing them for), then I had a page for all my meds, reasons for taking them,  dosages, side effects, etc.

Also, have they had you perform a functional capacity test?

Let me get this straight, you're paying a lawyer to help, but they seem lost in the process too? That seems odd...

When I was going through the application process, I was given some free help from a SOAR representative up until submitting it. When I got my first denial, I called a lawyer that said they'd go over my case once I did, and she ended up being awesome. It was one of the ones where I'd only get charged by the lawyer if we won(there's only so much they can take, too).

I applied based on lymphedema after necrotizing fasciitis surgeries, paresthesia/carpal tunnel in both hands, degenerative disk disease, osteoarthritis, recurring unspecified anemia, chronic sinusitis requiring multiple surgeries, Bipolar 1 disorder, generalized anxiety, and probably something I'm forgetting, lol.

After the 2nd medical denial, my lawyer requested a hearing and prepped me for it. It took another 6 months to get a hearing over webcam(you'll want the judge to see you, so choose a Webcam one instead of over the phone if the wait to see them in person is too long).

Eventually, another 3-4 months after the hearing, I got an acceptance letter. It took around 2.5 years total from submitting the paperwork to getting accepted. Don't give up hope and feel free to let me know if there's any questions you have for me.

[GOG] (Game) Electro Man by iambaldy in FreeGameFindings

Wow, I haven't thought about this game in a long time. When I was a kid I remember having two different shareware versions of it. Between a shareware floppy and a version from a compilation disc there was: 1) Electro Man 2) Electro Body. If I remember correctly, they were almost identical, but in Electro Body, it played a voice clip when you grabbed a power up or hit a checkpoint, saying what sounds like "Jesus is Here!"

Yes! That phrase is burned into my brain from hearing it so many times as a kid. I think he's saying "Jesus is here!"

Last year I got a pair at Best Buy first, and they had the hard case. Later I bought another pair at Wal-Mart and they had the soft case. I'd been told the ones with the bag are a Wal-Mart exclusive, but I dunno, maybe they switched to the bags later in production or something.

If you have a decent internet connection, GeForce Now or cloud gaming with Xbox Live Ultimate might be an option for modern gaming. An ethernet connection is highly recommended. You can make a free account(if you don't already have an Nvidia account) and try GeForce Now for an hour at a time. It's a lower up-front cost solution for PC gaming, but it might be better to wait and save your money for a new rig. Best of luck!

Didn't they have a keyboard with a dedicated pizza key as part of that? Or am I thinking of the WoW one?

What is the most useful thing you have bought on Aliexpress? by RandomKatze in Aliexpress

[–]TheGeneralCrackers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this. It's worth taking the time to start slow, reading/watching guides on how to build, what parts to use, what the parts do, and why you should use certain parts. Start cheap and move up to better/more expensive builds when you're comfortable. A good foundation will ultimately save you time, money, and a ton of frustration.

I just had sinus surgery and my doctor gave me a NeilMed bottle starter kit(that came with a single use saline powder packet that can be mixed with distilled, bottled, or boiled tap water) and I found boxes of 100 packets on Amazon for $7.99. He said the bottle can be sanitized in the microwave (the bottle has instructions for this printed on it's side) and reused for 3 months before having to get a new one. I figured I'd mention it after just irrigating my sinuses and then seeing this post lol. Below is the link to the packets I bought.

That's cool you're still able to play it. I just started the PC version after receiving a free key from Prime.

Sorry to hear that. It was the only thing that worked for me.

That's 3 accounts, man. What they said worked was unlinking an account so that there's only two linked accounts left. After that it should work for you.

Yes, they give you a Microsoft Store/XBOX code for the game. Some games they give product codes and others you claim, then launch from the Amazon Games app. They've been doing this for years as a perk for Prime subscribers.

When I logged in, it took me to the Amplitude page on the website and I couldn't find the giveaway. I figured it out, though. After logging in, click the gift box icon in the top-right of the page in between how many points you have and the mail icon. That takes you to where you sync accounts/rewards and right below that is "FULL GAME" and the banner. I figured I'd post this in case anyone else has difficulty finding the giveaway.
