HELP Wanted: I NEED A WIFE THAT will do…💋⛑👑💍

I was the wife that did IT all! 🏆

Now that I’m the widowed wife, I need a "Minnie Me” to handle all the paperwork required to live…today.

My husband never was one to do the bills, he just supervised, or nagged me about them…so they got taken care of.

Now I hate all mail, and forms that must be filled out, (dated), signed and then mailed.

If they are to a government agency, I must run to the Post Office to send them registered, so I get a receipt to “PROVE” the lazy person on the receiving end, stamps it paid.

It seems I’m always buried with that white stuff…that needs me.

Whenever I dare peek at the pile, I let out a deep sigh, I get overwhelmed, deflated so…pour a glass of wine & promise I’ll get to it “when the sun comes up tomorrow”! (Hey, isn’t that a line from “Annie”)?

If I phone a government help line, don’t ask!!!😣

First, they do not answer…

If they do after multiple calls, I get some stupid, impatient, bored uniformed bureaucrat…or a clerk from India. 🥱

Do not trust that what advice they give is correct. Often it is Not!

Call again, deal with the frustration, anew. 🙃😛😫

See if you get a different answer to your query. 🙄

If so, call a third time. 🤮🤮🤮

(Usually if you get 2 out of 3 answers, the same…go with it). 😥

SOLUTION:

I think once a person reaches 75, they should NOT be burdened with B.S. paperwork. 👴🧓👵👨‍🦳

Let’s get AARP to get behind me to turn it into law! 💌💌💌 LOL!
