They did away with that years ago. It's all on their website now.

yeah, the website that just tells me ' your request cannot be processed"
I think I will just have to go to some actual social security office or something

How do you keep the batter on the fish? I tried frying some cod last weekend..the batter was great tasting but barely stayed on the fish..
I've been successful at mushrooms but it was my first fish fry in decades..was craven a good fry ..

I don’t add anything to make the batter stick, which is a mix of ap flour and cornmeal. Most fillets were frozen, catfish freezes well. So it's pretty moist when I thaw and cut it up. I sprinkle a thin layer of batter over a paper plate. Sprinkle on some old bay seasoning and lay my catfish pieces over the top. Then sprinkle a little more old bay on the fish pieces and another layer of batter. I pour it all into a plastic bowl and flip the bowl with my wrist to get the batter and fish tumbling. This gets all the nooks and crannies coated. As I pull out piece to drop in the oil I shake off excess batter. They only have a thin coat.

I fry 3 or 4 pieces at a time, fairly small. When I finish a batch I put them in a metal bowl that has half sheet of paper towel in the bottom, sprinkle a little salt. Cover with another piece of paper towel while the next batch is frying. etc, etc...

This is the only pic I have... these pieces are smaller than I fry now. These days I cut a fillet into 4-6 pieces depending on thickness, some parts of a fillet will be thicker than others. I try to keep the mass about the same over all, so the fry time is about the same no matter the shape of the piece.

If I think of it I'll take some pics of the process next time.

You probably just need the rubber stopper replaced if the water is dribbling out the top of the faucet. Unscrew the the faucet from the stand pipe and pull the whole faucet and attached rod out. At the bottom end of the rod there is a rubber stopper. Unscrew it and put a new one on.

I had to cut a hole into the ceiling of my horse barn to get the rod all the way out. The rod will be three to six feet long depending on how deep the water line is buried.

Might be eaiser to sign up online or go into a office and sign up. Be prepared to bring paperwork like drivers license n all that to verify you are you.
A state unemployment office might be able to help you too.

I'd go into your closest office. Ours is never that busy, I've gone in for myself, and for my mom's stuff.

Fed X finally came down our road, they were putting off deliveries for over a week because of the bad roads. So the Oupes Mega 2 came in, an extra big battery, and two solar panels, and some other random stuff. Been busy opening boxes and getting things set up for husband to handle. That'll keep him busy awhile, he's pretty much figured out everything on Mega 1.
