what is the most expensive big city on earth?
In my opinion,here are the cities that would cost you lots of money while you were making a visit or even (probably in your case)living for couple years: (FYI:this list is based on my view as a tourist not a permanent resident) Let's starting from the top: 1.Zurich (Switzerland) 2.Helsinski (Finlandia,EU) 3.Oslo(Norwegia) 4.Tokyo(Japan) 5.London(UK,EU) 6.New York(USA) Well, i've ever been there and those countries are beautiful and amazing but,always makes you feel bad afterwards.haha.. cause,i don't want to go home by only wearing my pants! kidding.. Anyway,what's in your mind? anyone knows the complete,updated and reliable source of the expensive cities in the world?i've been looking all over the place,but still never could find the website for this kind of stuff. i love travel,and it could be a very nice guide for tourist.

refinance his house and live like a King? I refinanced my $85,000.00 house in Ft. Myers, Florida for $420,000.00 with an AltA (liars) loan. I didn't have much equity in it anyway so I refinanced and got $293,000.00 at closing after the fees ect. I had an adjustable rate AltA loan which some genius on Wall Street dreamed up. It was interest only for three years so the payment was only a bit over $2000.00 per month. I set aside money for the payments for three years, about $70,000.00 and pocket the difference. So I put the $220,000.00 difference in a three year CD at 5%. I stopped making payments as soon as the loan reset and waited for them to foreclose, which took 18 months during which time I paid nothing at all. I left the key in the door with a Thank You note to Bank Of America. Now all these Socialists are taking away my rights and ruining my financial future.

You are too young to have ever experenced a free market in this country. As far as Bank of America goes you have cheeted the share holders and yourself as well. Do you understand that "what comes around goes around". You may think foolishly that you have some how won the game but take my word for it " the game is still afoot" and you will loose so big you will wish you had never lived. A fool and his money are soon parted. Your are the fool in this matter. I feel sorry for you. Were I you, I would give the money back to BOA the ill gotten gain and pray for forgiveness. Failing that bend over and kiss your ass good by. Donald Sheldon

How much would all this dining at entertainment at Walt Disney World cost?
How much would all this dining at entertainment at Walt Disney World cost?
Ok here's the deal. There are 4 of us. Next time we go to Disney here's what we want to do: Have dinner at Cinderella's Royal Table for 4 people. Either that or Akershus, whichever is cheaper and has more princesses/characters. We'd also like a dinner for 4 in a car at the Sci-Fi Dine in. My brother and I will do DisneyQuest by ourselves. How much does it cost for DisneyQuest for two over 10? And how much is food at DisneyQuest? How much would we spend at Goofy's Candy Co., and how much is a sundae at Gheridelli (Sorry for spelling) Does it cost money to make reservations, if so how much would they cost? How much would this all cost together Thanks for your help!

I really, really depends.. Disneyland is very expensive, so taking that into consideration, you're looking at some big figures.. Reservations will not cost you, there are many types of sundaes at Gheridelli, it all depends.. Need to be more specific so we can give you a figure.

Can my autistic son get SSI - short?
Can my autistic son get SSI - short?
My 2 1/2 year old son has autism. He was diagnosed very recently. We live in CA but want to move to TX within a year. Here is where our income gets tricky: we make around $50,000 a year BUT half of that is from my husbands VA disability benefits which is a non-taxed income (can't even put us in a different tax bracket) My son's insurance (Kaiser if interested) does not cover the services he needs such as behavioral therapy, speech therapy and such so at the moment we are going thru a non-profit program called ALTA which will give him services until 3 years old but at 3, he will go to the school district which only covers speech, not anything else. So we are looking into how to pay for everything and the only thing I can think of is SSI. I know he can get it for autism, but does the severity matter? Ort does income matter and if income does matter will it count VA money? We are going to apply, I just want to prepare myself because my mom is on SSI and got denied the first time around (and she had a stroke and couldn't even walk) so I am worried he will be denied also and will go awhile without the necessary therapy's he needs while we appeal the decision which can seriously hurt his progress. Any info would help Thxs. We make way too much for medi-cal (state medical) And even "high-functioning" autistic kids NEED services or they will soon be low-functioning. I didn't ask for opinions on if a high functioning kid should get SSI or not. I only asked if it effected getting SSI. Don't talk about autism if you know nothing about it.......

who told you school only covers speech-that is a violation of IDEA the school must provide APPROPRIATE SERVICES..including OT, PT, ABA the severeity does matter--kids at the higher end shouldn't get it ...ACCORDING TO SSA STANDARDS__NOT MINE(but some do anyway) ( I AM REFERring to ssi--AS I SAID THE SCHOOL SHOULD PROVIDE ABA, OT, ETC) EVEN KIDS WITH MILD DISABILITIES ARE ENTITLED TO THAT IN SCHOOL i'm not sure of the income limits..does your non VA income fall under the limit? even if not eligible for SSI, you might be able to get MEDICAID on a waiver for medically needy or similar program and also register with the state division of developmental disabilities it will help if you have yoru own medical ev als--the SSA evals are idiiotic--they don't assess the disability--only the healthy parts..and therfore you don't qualify. the requirements for children are on SSA.GOV it says something about severe impairment in functioning I DIDN"T SAY STANDARD MEDICAID..THERE ARE SPECIAL MEDICAID PROGRAMS (often called WAIVERS) that are for people with disabilities..check to see if your state has any.. if you make too much for standard medicaid....you may make too much for SSI KIDS AT THE HIGHER END SHOUDLN"T GET SSI..I DIDN"T SAY THEY SHOULDN"T GET SERVICES... BUT THE SERVICES ARE SUPPOSED TO BE PROVIDED BY THE SCHOOL__THE FAMILY IS NOT SUPPOSED TO HAVE TO PAY FOR EDUCATIONAL RELATED SERVICE (at some level --services are considered medical, not educational..and school won't provide..but ABA is usually considered strictly educational..A lot of OT is do you know about ABA/VB, DIR, Miller, SONRISE, RDI, Sensory based OT, PROMPT..TEACHH, FBA, DRO you said: I didn't ask for opinions on if a high functioning kid should get SSI or not. I only asked if it effected getting SSI. I ANSWERED TAHT IT DOES AFFECT ELIGIBILITY FOR SSI, BUT IT IS TRUE THAT SOME CHILDREN WHO ARE HIGH MANAGE TO GET APPROVED..EVEN WHEN THEY ARE BARELY DISTINGUISHABLE FROM THEIR NEUROTYPICAL PEERS technically, if kids are functioning near age level, do they do not qualify..but ssa is a game--people with mild disabilities do get approved if they stick it out.. THATS THE FACTS--ITS NOT MY FAULT I TOLD YOU THE TRUTH kids who are high functioning can decompensate or not progress without supportive services

My son and foster son with Aspergers both get SSI. My son has been getting it since he was eight and my foster son stated getting it when he turned 18. It is pretty hard to get SSI for children unless they are SEVERELY disabled and it affects their ability to function. My son has AS but he also has several medical issues and severe anxiety. I had plenty of documentation from doctors, neurologists, psychologists and the special developmental clinic where he had an extensive evaluation twice (at ages five and eight). He had both an academic and medical dx. We were denied the first time around. We hired a lawyer and appealed the decision and finally got the SSI about a year and a half after the initial application. My advise is to talk to a lawyer and see if he/she thinks your son would qualify for SSI with his level of disability and your family income. You will need the name of EVERY doctor and specialist your son has seen and every report you have ever received on your child. If you have these documents to submit with your application the process will go a lot faster. FYI: Children who are "high functioning" will not become "low functioning" without services. Things may be a bit more difficult without services but they will not become "more Autistic" than they already are.
