They aren't strangers after you meet them the first time.

But, on hired help, you always have to take some risk, but you do get help.

I wonder if you know hippies.

They are like ants. They send in a scout.

The workers show up, you'll see them and their broods at one with nature, but you'll only ever meet the scout.

Standing up.

Porn from the 90's being referred to as vintage.

Finding gray nose hairs.

1990s... Vista Video... Sperm eyebrows...

So you still have not come to realize how many "pornstars" have died, retired ever since, how vintage early SC or CF or the late Fratmen are, and how vintage Johnny Rapid has become.
 
You get irked by everyone and everything at the same time that you don't give a fuck about anyone... nor anything too.

When you are truly old you just reach nirvana about that gerund "getting".

That says more about how pathetically ignorant most young people are now. Not using something is not any excuse for not knowing what items from our past were in use.

Well, there are people who do not know that, say, Whatsapp is what still somehow somewhat makes their America great from the use made of it outside America... and some are even more stupid to find it a funny joke about themselves and the world around to pretend that they do not know anything about it, because they won't use it in their daily lives anyway.

Not to speak of academia ignorant of the historic part of academia that has not been feeding their laputian academia for the past thirty or forty years... which only gets worse when they do pretend they are most aware of that past they actually ignore.

Calling SS and waiting on hold with badly compressed generic music. Could be worse and be compressed Vivaldi warbling The Four Seasons.
After 24 minutes of "Wait time of 37 minutes" the phone goes dead. Why do I have no signal? I called again and the wait time was now 48 minutes.... press 1 and we will call you back, you don't lose your place in line. They called back!

There's a death benefit of about $256. You have to ask for it. They don't give it away. Then survivor benefits. It all looks complicated but not really. If you are both over 60 and married the "married 10 years" rule doesn't apply. Huh. We got married because of stories of one spouse being in the hospital and the other spouse not being able to visit because "you aren't kin". That's the actual reason why we got married.
I'm glad we did, we didn't know about survivor benefits then.
Back to the survivor benefits. It like this: My SS is 980 a month. His was 1970 a month. So my SS goes away but I'll get his SS amount. Yeah, no, you do not get both your SS and spouse's SS. I asked. To be sure. Might be like the death benefit, who knows?

The man at the SS office was really nice and seemed to know exactly what he was doing. Ok. SS has all of the info they need and it's being sent to the Georgetown Office for processing. They are backed-up a week. I don't have to go to Georgetown, that's just the office that processes claims for my area. I should get a letter in a couple of weeks.

Now I wait.

The last month or so hasn't been what I would call fun.

How's that for signs of getting old?
 
^I know someone who retired a few months ago. From what she had to say, it was a real pain dealing with SS. As I recall, she heard that even if one has an appointment in the local office one could go in and still have a long wait. She was under the impression that they are understaffed.

Someone else,working with disability claims, told me that at least one office/department/whatever at SS is taking a lot longer to do stuff than was once the case.

Old in the USA

Or, rather, the USA getting old... which is NOT the same as growing old

Maybe it depends on where you live? When I applied for SS, I just called and they were like "when do you want to start and what's your bank's routing number and what's your account number?" It was not at all like the stories I've heard. Maybe I'm just lucky.

I read somewhere that SSDI takes about 10 months. I don't know if that is true.

The person I mentioned retired only a few months ago, and she seemed to be under the impression that her problems are problems of this era. And I imagine there could be differences depending on where one lives.

From what I hear, SSDI timing can be hugely variable. It depends so much on the case. So it might only be a few months. Or it could be years if it goes through the full denial/appeal process.

I am lucky. I have been on SSDI since I was 30. When I have an issue I just go to their office. It is walking distance for me. Way easier than calling.
 
I'm driving my high performance German car in the right lane just a little over the speed limit....back in the day before I could afford a high performance German car I was speed racer....
 
Oh no...not necessarily an age thing, but I had to hoist myself over a low barrier yesterday and my. back. is. killing. me. today.

And a day of dealing with taking on the clients and projects of my deceased 75 year old friend/colleague has left me exhausted and more cognizant that I also am nowhere close to retiring now.
 
You find yourself looking at newspapers where you grew up to see who has died versus the front page headlines. It's sad to see parents, co-workers, and others whose path your life crossed now memorialized in their obituaries.
 
Is taking pictures off of the wall in the hallway, of folks gone 22 years ago a sign of getting old?
I mean, his parents are gone that long and now he's gone. Is it ok to move the pictures to the spare bedroom? Still on display for the kids but out of my daily view?

I just don't know. I figure anything I do will be the wrong thing for someone.
