Samantha Fish Band, I Put a Spell On You

Just got back from the SS office, I got a piece of mail from SS with someone else's SSN on it

It was one of the more bizarre mailings I have seen, mailed on Jan 7, got it the 13th and it told me I had to visit the SS office by Jan 18 (MLK day holiday) or risk losing some or all of my benefits and said I had to explain something that apparently had to do with undeclared income and then left the section where the "something" was supposed to be listed totally blank.

Anyhow, I wouldn't have bothered to post an OP about something like that but the letter had a handwritten listing of a SS employee I was supposed to contact at our local office and had their # and extension but also listed what looked like their SSN, it certainly wasn't mine. On the printed part of the letter my SSN was correct.

I took it to the SS office today and they were absolutely perplexed by the letter, both the fact I was supposed to explain something that wasn't even described and the other SSN on there had the woman I spoke with very puzzled. The person listed works at the office but wasn't there today, I'm supposed to get a phone call at some point when she returns to the office.

A black man told me today in all seriousness that God wants Donald Trump to be President

His name is Edmund, he's probably late fifty-ish, from Ghana complete with the mahvelous accent and manages a little religious charity thrift store I frequent every couple of weeks or so. I make it a point to become friendly with the management in these sorts of places, they will hold items for you they know you are looking for and maybe negotiate a bit more on the prices if they like you.

So today Edmund starts talking about politics and I stood there with my jaw hanging open as he told me how wonderful the Donald is and how he cannot be bought since is a self made man with his own money, furthermore it is God's plan that Trump be President and of course what God wants God gets. I managed to keep my tongue from causing me trouble since I like Edmund, he's a friendly guy and other than politics and perhaps religion he seems very sensible.

Just had to get that off my chest, my flabber is still somewhat gasted, I suspect il Douche may have a wider appeal than I had realized before.
