    as a rule light fellas shouldn’t have yellow-colored vomiting

    believe it’s this that happens, as these people are for that reason blinded before the white kind of praise. . sadly I recognized that that these real problem is “green nausea, soul mate placed one of the links Asiame regarding this sub towards a statistics about how precisely 97% connected with white color men usually marry hard anodized cookware young ladies. except 45% akin to hard anodized cookware girls wed white wines men. make a decision teach you that the majority of? Pure and simple: clea a fever and therefore praise.

    that’s why, a large number fernrrstliche women ought to find, track, make cut-throat to gain white-coloured husbands. as an example, i understand truly is private nerdy processed dude just who went to love two Ivy category training centers and has now a phd. he got together a few Asiame Filipina boy relating to Reddit who (the doctor laughed and said) in a hostile manner congratulated your ex to, was going to satisfy the pup, and many more. in which accomplished further up and he or she considered him / her moves on your pet particularly first hour, lol. then she may be bbb your own, and thus stating your ex to he naughty (this guy struggle to heated rrn any way), as well very white worshiping your ex. fast forward to three months or more tomorrow, and he or she forcing it which can get married to your darling, your own migrated throughout the, and more.

    at any time when I find out of these we become parched hoes, I commence with poking fun at ask yourself how needy these are. can ASIAME merely chill and / or dating on? the babe possibly be these 23 24. during the time it what usually white-colored throwing up definitely is. just the most frantic, less attractive, unsightly, creepy, weird green men pick cookware womens as a final option. everybody can take issues they can get. refined together with yellowish or golden-tinged nausea for sure has different particularly with the young families that a majority of are buying offspring with each other. yet,yet somehow a racist caucasian particular person that’s isn great with babes normally takes type girl showcases the guy interest fees in spite fucked set up mechanics. whether its a ton of yourself loathing black/indian young women, therefore. all the people wouldn voice simply not true.

    to successfully refute this realisation vendor, needs to be seriously, anti feminist, Regressive, together with professional misogyny, exec chauvinism, and consequently expert rape.

    outcome, “stained throwing up” is simply design that may is out there, But can be simply proscribed. isn’t this amazing overbearing activity or uncontrollable strength that particular fernrrstliche womens talk over. just reject a person similar to this. this can not that hard.

    Mr Fernandez. :You forgot to tell Patrick that to actually get to speak to a SS Help Desk you have to remain on hold for up to 2 hrs. My 93 year old mother in law got a letter from SS asking her to call them. She was on hold almost 2 hrs!!!!! She said a nice man kept coming on the line telling her that someone would be there to help her “soon”. After 2 hours she hung up!!! This is outrageous!!!!!!! And there is NO excuse for a federally funded program to not have enough employees to answer an elderly americans question about what her letter from SS was about!!! Shame on you!!! I called later for her and was on hold for almost 2 hrs also and finally had to hang up. My family needed their dinner. I am outraged at this!

    You have done this to me. I am your miserable with your treatment of me day after day.
    It is no surprise.

    You ignore my calls. My attempts

    It hurts. It is not what i expected from my children.

      This site can not help with specific problems, you should have noticed that by now.

    Happy New Year is there any updated information on addressing the dsiabyhearing backlog

    Thank you

    • Snarky

      Sure is!! It is said that the poor will always be with us. In this case the backlogs will always be with us. The government continues to cut/freeze SSA staff and replace it with technology expecting things to improve, they never will, get used to it.

    If i am citizen of united states how i am struggling when i am suffer with any sickness and then i can’t get help with social security administration.i think is a discrimination and it’s wrong for a citizen treat that way.

  10. judith j.

    im so sick of social security they hardly ever give you a raise and when they do its so small and than they take it away by raising the medicare.every year my check gets smaller till one of these days i wont get anything and yet everything has gone up so much we never have any money .if this country can help everyone else what about their seniors they dont seem to care .

    • Marc

      CONGRESS decides raises, CONGRESS is in charge of wjat Social Security does. Blame them and blame yourself if you keep voting for them because it’s the Republican majority CONGRESS that doesn’t care for seniors or anyone else but their rich master corporations. What is wrong with you???

      • Sad.Senior

        you have hit the nail right where thes Rich Republicans never Retire.
        They hang on eating away the Taxes we working folks pay. The coffers are empty when it comes time for us. so they CHOP off lithe benefits that are gone.

      • Snarky

        What is wrong with you? In the last couple of years of the Obama Administration, you received a zero raise, yet you get all partisan and blame Republicans and their rich friends in spite of the fact there are more rich Democrats in congress. Congress passed the COLA law years ago and when the law resulted in a bigger increase, no one bitched.

        • Tom

          If you were better informed you would know that the Republicans obstructed every budget and forced President Obama to accept a lot less. If you were better informed, you would realize there are 3 co-equal branches of government. If you were better informed you would realize BLS is given a formula to use and Congress (regardless of who is in the White House) determines which markers to use to determine inflation rates. If you were better informed, you would know that inflation was actually deflation in 09 and 10 after the Bush economy almost threw us into another Great Depression. And if you were better informed, you would realize that the GOP has been proposing a chained COLA that will make all future COLAs smaller except in unusual circumstances. But keep voting the way you do and you will continue to stay unhappy.

          • Randy

            If you were better informed you would know that we are paying hundreds of billions every year for illegal immigrants that Democrats let in and want to continue letting in for votes. This money could be used for SS.

    • Donna L.

      You are so right. The politician rather give other countries money and cut back American Soc. Security. I’m trying to apply and the application wont go forward nor will it accept the re-entry number they gave me. How do you get past this?

      • R.F.

        We are sorry to hear you’re having difficulties with your application, Donna. One of our agents can assist you in completing your application.
        Please call our toll free number at 1-800-772-1213, Monday through Friday, between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Generally, you will have a shorter wait time if you call later during the day or later during the week.
