Social Security

Do you know my favorite day of the month?  Of course you don't. Well I will tell you.  It is the third day of the month!  That is that day we get our Social Security checks. Today I got on line and checked and there it was as pretty as you please.  That is my main fun for this month.

I have to credit the man in the picture above as being responsible for me getting my Social Security. He worked a long 58 years to earn that money for us. When I started getting my SS they checked how much I could get on my own work record and then They checked what I could get on his record. Mine would have been $80. What I could get on his record was much higher. Then they give you which ever is the highest amount. So without him I would be getting the $80 amount but it would be some higher now due to all of the raises over the years.  Anyway, I am getting much more
on his record.

I quickly give my loving thanks to LeRoy Ford every time I see my Social Security check on my checking account. I Thank God, and Ford,  for Social Security.  I hope Obama doesn't do something to mess it up!
