SSA site problems or me?
I've been trying to upload my SSA-44 form for 3 days now. Each time I can upload the form to the required page/screen, but then when I take the next step it just shows loading ... loading ... loading until it times out and I get an error message. I've tried different computers and tried selecting complete online rather than upload, but same result.
​
Is this something on my end or SSA?
​
Is it possible to postal mail the form and associated documents?
​
This is a resubmission of the form per request by an SSA agent as I had provided AGI for wrong year previously. Wondering if that's the issue.
Robust public wifi in Wilmington?

Is this safe to eat?
Had two bags of dried apricots delivered by Amazon. One bag was normal and we've been eating those. The other bag is so overinflated it is hard to the touch. Assume due to something like fermentation. Would these be safe to eat?
Dog friendly restaurant?
We will be in Fredericksburg for one night this Thursday and would like to find a restaurant with outdoor seating that allows dogs. While we love a burger and beer, we hope to find different menu options if possible.
Form SSA-44 IRMAA Appeal
Retired 5/8/26 and started recieving social security April 2026. Just received notice that approximately $450 will be deducted for IRMAA. Didn't anticipate this or build it into my budget. Assume my next step is to file an appeal based on "life-changing event." Has anyone else dealt with this and, if so, any advice? How long did it take to resolve?
Any experience good or bad with doctors affiliated with Novant Health Medical Group Coastal Region?
This is the practice at 1960 S 16th. Retired and no longer have my employer provided insurance. Prefer to find someone who accepts Medicare-approved fees as this group does. Any advice on finding my next primary would be appreciated!
Best vet for senior dog?
Looking for a great vet in/near Wilmington who is good with senior dog healthcare. Of course, need a practice that is accepting new patients. We have used Eastern Carolina for emergency care, but need a "regular" vet practice.
Retiring Friday and losing health insurance. Got Medicare A at 65 and Medicare B started May 1st. Have done research including this great group and do not want Medicare Advantage. Is Medicare D the only other thing I need now to avoid late penalty? Thank you!
Are there any galleries or other places to buy local artists' work? I'm not talking about overpriced tourist traps. Just somewhere that local aspiring artists sell their art that's not online?
