I was all set to head up to Blade when I got a letter from the Social Security Administration on Tuesday saying I had to pay them $3900 before I could get my retirement benefits that I applied for in January. It seems that they overpaid my daughter for her survivor benefits on her deceased mother's account. It was not my mistake. How the heck am I supposed to know what her payments should be? After meeting with them, they acknowledged that they owe me nearly $6,000 on my retirement benefits. So I said just cut me a check for $2100 and call it even. But nooooo. I had to give them a certified check for $3900 and then wait until they feel good and ready to process my retirement. What horrible timing. So no Blade Show for me this year. And I need a new central AC to boot. I really would like to get one of those Team Gemini 7 Busses. Maybe when my mother load of back SS payments comes in, they will be up on the Busse Combat site. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />
