I don't know what to make of this. They promoted it very heavily, so I tried to watch the first episode but could not complete it. It seems they are trying to get in as many crazy/funny outbursts as they can. I am torn between feeling she is being exploited and feeling it sheds light on a problem. It comes from the same roots as I Am Jazz, but she seems to have a less problematic family.

No, Chalamet got it wrong. Like English pronunciation for someone whose name is Emanuel. I’ve never heard anyone do that for Lin-Manuel Miranda. What were they calling him all week?

Which is worse--Valentine's Day or Mother's Day?

I hate socks too! I won't wear them even in the winter. There is market for selling just the patterns, and people buy their own fabric or use stash. I wonder if they will consider that. Then there's the person who loves a kit for any type of craft because everything is assembled for you. You will need very specific colors, though, to accomplish his designs, unless you want to use his pattern and adapt the colors somewhat. -
Somehow It Was Always You came on my radar today. This is so bad. Why would she ever be involved with that stiff George? He was so wrong for her, regardless of whether she really wanted Tyler Hines. And then she just dropped out of being a dentist completely? I fast forwarded through most of it then watched the very end.

I didn’t care about any of the items except the quilts. They were very creative patterns. I’m into sewing myself, but for clothes. But I admire the craftsmanship of quilts. -

Why? I know nothing about this person. Is he simply not worth a film?

The part about filling out forms and so on is different. That's where the broker is doing something for you that he is legally allowed to do--he's enrolling you in a private policy. I wish SSA were easier to deal with, but it is not. They don't recognize a power of attorney. And even the appointment of representative form is not meant for designating someone to do this enrollment stuff. They want everyone to use the on-line portals now, and the oldest recipients aren't set up for that. As that population ages out, the younger population will have established on-line logins earlier. And if the on-line portal decides not to work one day, then you have to call, as my client did. I've tried that in the past but now I don't even bother. The people I'm talking about can't or won't explain it because they know it's bad racist stuff. They're not proud racists. They're racists who know better and are ashamed deep down. It doesn't change their minds. I also think they are counting on tax or other policies that boost their wealth. These are well-to-do professionals. The person I referenced earlier is Jewish. There are many Jewish voters in NYC who are of a certain bent and vote for Trump because they think he will protect Israel. When I mentioned Musk's Nazi salutes, she shut down and did the figurative fingers in ears and "NO NO NO."

I spoke to a Trump voter last night. We are in a situation where we have to associate so we don't usually discuss the election, etc. But she was upset about the January 6 pardons. Well, did you not hear this was coming? She's in NYC, so her vote didn't make a difference. Still. She just sputters with cognitive dissonance and saying how Harris would have been worse. She "likes" Trump's "policies."

Agreed! I've read their instructions before. There are all kinds of cautions against this.

Moreover, how will he perform with a live human without having trained with her? The plot line is annoying at best. I think they have to be moving toward Julidan.

I believe that was not kosher. It would have been different if you were performing the actions and he was coaching you through it. I don’t think these brokers are accessing some special channel to Social Security. I don’t think such a thing exists.
-
Yes, I'm actually an attorney, and I'm familiar with this form. I've used it when I represent someone in a Social Security hearing. Doesn't really help here as a matter of logistics. My client's son is helping her set up her on-line log in and sitting with her while she waits to talk on the phone. You can't predict when SSA decides to screw up with error messages. That happens. We are in the NY area. Maybe much busier than other areas.

I have a feeling that the broker did not actually help you with the part I'm talking about. SSA will only communicate with the actual person. To do your initial enrollment and get a Medicare number, you have to do it yourself.
