Go to SSA.gov and research the payee options.  You may have to use the search engine, but your answer to this particular issue should be there.

I am disabled and while my kids were minors, I had to fill out a form each year on how I, as the payee spent each and every penny of the money they received.  I don't see how his mother can justify how she spent his money for things that you normally would pay.

That said, he is getting Social Security right?  Is your son receiving a dependent check?  Under law, if a parent is disabled and has minor children, each and every one of those children also receive a check until they turn 18 or graduate from high school, which ever comes first.

The check is a percentage of your husbands, so for 800.00, your son should receive at least 350.00.  If you have not been getting this, they would pro-rate it back to when your husbands disability started and that in itself, could solve a lot of your financial problems.  You can also find this out on their website,  HTH

Giggle. Next you'll be telling us you're qualified as Chief of Staff at the hospital you nurse at and transcribe for.  Chuckle.  (Reminds me of the saying, Jack of all trades, master of none.)  Chuckle.

But outsourcing to India doesn't concern me on iota.  Remember ..... they speak a different language than we do and when doctors here hire them, they get exactly what they pay for, which, when you add all things in, they charge for basically equal pay for a real sloppy job........

Never fear, my dear.....India's a joke......

That's why they'd much rather work call centers and do - more money for less work.  Much easier to speak it - albiet half azz - than transcribe it.

Go to www.whitehouse.gov and on the right hand side there is a like to the BarneyCam.  It's a very cute video Mrs. Bush made to take to the Children's Hospital in DC when she visited the kids.  No matter your political persuasion, it's just too cute and you also get to see the holiday decorations.  My grandkids have had a ball watching it tonight.

I've done that, too, unfortunately - when I was a kid.  Takes the hide right off!

One way or the other. I wouldn't have cats if I had to deal with a stinking litter box. Yuck!

And no comments about how could I possibly like my cats if I let them outdoors, blah, blah, blah.

They've always been outdoor cats. We live in a remote rural area with no traffic. They are healthy, fixed, up-to-date on all shots, vet checked, well fed and well taken care of. We tried to keep them in after hearing all of the horror stories about letting your cats outdoors, but they weren't buying it and kept howling to go out. The eldest is 13 and the younger one is 9. They started out as outdoor cats and apparently are going to stay that way.

My dog will jump on her hind legs and "box" with you by smacking your hands with her front paws.

My cat likes to go berserk inside cardboard boxes.  He also perches on my desk and dips his paws in my betta bowl.  Then he climbs all the way up the screen door and yowls if I'm outside.  Typical cat behavior, I guess, but this is my first kitty so it's funny.  He's a loverboy, too.  He crawls up on me, sticks his head under my hair, chews my hair, bites my neck, purrs and goes to sleep.

My kids did this in kindergarten and I still hang them every year.

It's their handprint on a piece of paper to make it look like a Christmas postcard but with yarn to hand on the tree.  Around the handprint is a poem about something like " you've seen this handprint on the walls, fridge, steering wheel of your car, etc and it goes on to when they grow up.  I'm out of town right now so I can't recite it verbatim (you'd think I'd know it by heart) but it is one of the most sentimental things I have from them.
