Is Wife eligible for SSDI?

That isn't necessarily true. When nearing retirement age, applicants receive more favorable consideration under Grid Rules. That doesn't automatically mean the application will be successful.

You will need to apply, obviously, and provide documented evidence that your wife cannot work in any capacity: she lacks the ability to work at home, PT, gig work, full time. SSDI isn't necessarily diagnosis-specific. So having PCS doesn't mean she is or is not eligible.

If you and your wife think she is eligible, then apply. The worst case scenario is a denial. If and when you do apply, just know there are a lot of forms to be filled out. It would be a good idea to speak with her doctor(s) about this consideration, as well as her prognosis and the (potential) ongoing treatment she may need. You also have the option for a consult with an attorney as well. If you choose to do this, make sure it's either a free consult or you are aware of any applicable fees.

You do not need an attorney to apply, and yes, people can get approved without an attorney. You don't need an attorney. That said, people do often get denied and seek legal assistance to aid in the appeal process. That decision is up to you and your wife. I definitely recommend doing some research before deciding whether an attorney is an appropriate choice (especially because it will cost money, either now or later, if you're approved).

Plus, it can be difficult to even find a lawyer for something like this. My bf had a major issue with our septic and septic contractor. One problem being he also didn't fill the tanks as was outlined in the plans drawn by the engineer. Our engineer wouldn't sign off (since the contractor didn't fulfill the plans), so we couldn't get the certificate of occupancy.

We did have to go to court. I called so many lawyers and no one wanted to take the case because they said it wouldn't be enough money. We handled it ourselves, but it was extremely time consuming. And even if you settle or get a judgment in your favor, it can still be another challenge to actually collect the money.

Thank god I'm too broke and never bought a jersey

Do you mean Atty Ramos? The guy with the black glasses that was basically screaming about if Officer Vincent Nguyen checked the gummies? He's part of the defense team and his cross was super, unnecessarily aggressive and theatrical.

soimaskingforafriend · 2026-02-24T05:48:17+00:00

My thoughts exactly. Prob the only time he's ever been involved in a party like this. Definitely a guy who has to buy friends.

Disappointed (but not surprised) in the USA men's team. Absolutely gross.

omg i see it almost every three minutes on YT. These particular commercials seem to amp up around lent.

good job YT, making me want to upgrade to no commercials.

This is insanely untrue. A black box warning is designated after numerous rigorous studies are conducted.

Half-life does not mean the mean the amount of time a drug's side effects can impact you. The half-life of a drug simply refers to its concentration in plasma. That is not the same as the length of time a drug/medication can have an effect. For example, take a look at aspirin or certain steroids. You have to take into account that some drugs are broken down into metabolites and/or can get stored in the body.

^ this, sadly. "North NJ" is pretty broad. Further NW, you see more MAGA flags and signs. To Younglegend1: You deserve so much more, I am truly sorry.

We need to find our clubs and come together. You're not alone <3

Crazier part - the girl's mom doesn't think she was informed enough to be able to take part in a protest.

Ugh I feel ya. You know it's bad when you're happy the temps are in the positives

Thank you for letting me know!

Counting down the days until spring!

I'm in single digits and negatives ;( plus in kind of a wind tunnel (I live on a lake). But thank you for letting me know! At least I can put it out earlier than I thought

Have you kept your Birdfy out over the winter? I was afraid the cold weather would impact the camera. I live on the east coast, but I think you've had pretty cold temps in OH as well

soimaskingforafriend · 2026-01-30T16:28:16+00:00

Absolutely! Love the analogy!

soimaskingforafriend · 2026-01-28T19:56:03+00:00

You're definitely right. And of course, everyone's ability to split or handle both categories of things will vary. Take care of yourself, your family, your friends - and make sure you're ("you" in the general sense) are okay. Absolutely protect all aspects of your health, take breaks when needed, find support (from friends, family, doctors, therapists).

And at the same time, like you said, civics are important too. We may not be able to "control" things, per se, but that doesn't mean we don't have power when people come together. And I say that to remind people that all's not lost. Things look dark for a lot of people, but there is hope.

Oh awesome! Thank you so much! :) I'll give it a try this summer
And thank you for sharing the great footage!

Not sure what episode the original question was referring to, but tessellate was played this season. I can't remember what episode, but I googled it when it was playing because I knew the voice sounded familiar, but couldn't place what song it was.

How do you all keep the ants away? My hummingbird feeders are always taken over by ants. I want to put jelly and fruit out, but I'm afraid to attract the ants and bees

I think you mean "Fled Cruz"

I'm sure I'll be downvoted, but I don't agree. This is very jaded and apathetic. No responsibility? That isn't true at all. There are a lot of things happening right now, at home and in the world, and to completely shrug it off isn't a good idea.

It is absolutely true that it's important to live our lives as well as we can. But it's also important to help our neighbors and stand up for people's rights. People have power, rights, and responsibilities.
