Social Security has been taking monies out of my wife's check for damn near 25yrs. because social security says that they overpaid my wife 80,000 dollars. We all know that's a crock of shit! Even if you did such a thing...you're telling me that no one caught this until it reached 80,000!!?? They then took 400 this month for no reason and then sent notice. They have on paper that my wife is to receive this amount but yet gets that amount. Did I mention that they lie? By no means is this directed towards the people who work in these offices. My wife is of retirement age and on paper it says that she receives full benefits. I'm here to tell you that she doesn't and hasn't been for many years. Social Security Administration will have to answer.

Fairytale-like house [Cincinnati OH]…read more We couldn't just drive-by this whimsical house without stopping and doing a double take... and staring. This is the Mushroom House in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Cincinnati. The amount of detail is really breathtaking: circular steel steps, deck rails of wood shingles, stained glass windows, tiled ceilings... of course, I had to snap some pics. How often do we come to Cin City. The original owner/builder by the name of Terry Brown has passed away in 2008. The house is currently not on the market and occupied as a private residence as of 2021. Here are the deets in Zillow: 1 beds, 1 baths, 1,260 sq-ft. If you are curious about the inside of the home you can click on this link and watch it on YouTube: https://youtu.be/pVUFwH9Q6fk Review #3885

If you're passing through Cincinnati you have to stop by the Mushroom House. This is the most…read moreunique real house I have ever seen. It is a relatively young house, when it comes to house age. It was started to get built by architect Terry Brown in 1992 and completed in 2006. Terry Brown him self resided in it until his passing in 2008. This house looks like a mushroom from a certain angle, and like an owl from another. It is a fairytale house in the real world. There's so much fine detail, there's no wonder it had taken this genius man 14 years to complete this artistic masterpiece of a home. The spiral orange stair case was chained off not allowing access to the public. There was a car parked in the driveway as well as a surveillance camera. They also had a "no trespassing" sign. The land around, although very minimal is very well groomed and well kept. Something tells me there are people who currently reside here. I don't know how I would feel about living in a home that gets so much attention and that is always being photographed. The Mushroom House is a must see in Cincinnati. Use your fairytale imagination to guide you inside. Happy travels!

Never did I think I would write any review of a BMV, let alone a 5 star one, yet here I am…read more Here's something I didn't know- BMV locations are independently owned and operated. This location is exceptionally friendly and helpful. I was getting my federal compliant ID and had heard stories of people having to make multiple trips. I checked online ahead of time and was pretty sure I had what I needed. I was greeted at the door by a friendly gentleman who confirmed I had checked in online properly and my space in line was reserved. I filled out a form and waited just a couple minutes for my number to be called. The person at the counter was friendly and helped me with my ID and two license plate renewals, with some nice conversation while she completed the registrations. All in, less than 15 minutes later, everything was done in a quick, professional way and I was on my way! Hard to believe you can enjoy an experience at the BMV but it's true! Next time you need the BMV, I recommend this location.

This is a safe courthouse with screening but is not so obtrusive to make our court house feel like a jail. The clerk of court staff from Tracy Winkler on down are helpful, courteous and caring though they can not give legal advice. The bathrooms for a busy courthouse are fairly clean most of the time.

The sheriffs office is open 24/7 to check in inmates. This comes in handy when you just need a background check, no appointments needed since they're literally open all the time. We were in and out in about 15 minutes. The lady up front was so kind and nice. I was expecting someone harsh who is used to dealing with inmates but we got the complete opposite. I really appreciate her willingness to let us in the back office so my little could play. Underneath a cute aquarium is a stack of sheriffs coloring books, crayons and junior deputy badges. It's so refreshing to have this available for our kids. Hubs was fingerprinted in no time, electronically. The cost was $66 and it takes 6-8 weeks for the results to come back via webcheck. The lady was very thorough and made sure our paperwork had all the right codes and addresses to be sent to.

So many reasons to avoid this place…read more Needed to get a same day birth certificate and this was one of the locations that had a kiosk. I figured the kiosk would be pretty convenient! I plugged in the address in my GPS but when I arrived, I was sure I wasn't at the right place. Not trying to hurt anyone's feelings here but this was ghetto. I felt so uncomfortable and thank God my husband was with me to stay in the car with the kids. The whole time I was inside, I was so worried about them outside. Once I figured out that the prison looking building was where I should be, I cautiously went inside where I had a slight sigh of relief. It's better inside than outside. Next, the kiosk. Holy crap does that thing SUCK. The screen is horrible and really needs an update. You have to enter a lot of information and I was seriously getting angry trying to type this stuff in. After you pay, there's no further directions whatsoever. At this point, I'm hating life. I walk around and find a small office with chairs and two ladies behind a counter of bars. They called my name so I knew I was in the right spot. They hand me the birth certificate and I'm on my way. So then I'm wondering, what's with the kiosk when there's two perfectly able bodies sitting behind computers doing nothing? I was frustrated and I really feel like this location should be avoided at all costs.

My teenage boys were snatched from us with no court order, no emergency, and no consent. She never…read moreentered our home, never asked if they lived there, never asked about mental health, nor did she do any questioning. She came threatened my son, her and the polices to get in the car or he was going to 20/20. She lied to my mother and my boys to take them with my mother telling her she is not taking them like last time. To me, that is kidnapping, no court order and no consent with the parent saying no. Hmmm. I continued to ask why they took my boys from my mother, and no one would give me a strait answer it was always I done been through this with you we are not going over this again. Well they never told me a reason either until we were shocked in the hearing by the in take worker getting on the stand and lying to the magistrates face and in her reports. She had no reason to take them so she made up a reason saying my mother told her to seek custody because she couldnt handle them no more. THAT WAS A HUGE LIE. The magistrate caught them lying by the look on her face but still gave CPS custody. My boys have been physically abused, sexually harassed, discriminated, neglected, mistreated, bullied, and down sized by grown ass people in them group homes. The thing I dont get is I have proof (pics, audio, video, witnesses) and no one will do anything about it. Everyone in the government ignores it because it is CPS. They are allowed to lie and treat your children like shit all for money. An to top off all this my magistrate was accused of corruption when she was a prosecutor. (LOVELY HUH) I am currently going through hell right now trying to get my boys home where they are safe. I have spoken to other CPS workers, judges, attorney's, a lot of people do not understand why this case was opened nor why it is still open after over a year. I have had no luck with the court appointed lawyer they tricked my mother in signing over custody, would not put my evidence in, put my witnesses on the stand and they did what the hell they wanted to do in that court room along with acting as if they were asking questions (the same questions worded differently). If you can avoid these demons do so. If not God be with you. They do not try to help families they destroy them, tear strong families apart, get paid for each child ripped from homes, and they are not to trust. Get a paid attorney as soon as they knock on your door. Do not trust the lawyers, CPS, GAL, nor the judge or magistrate. No one will help you, but you can sue for wrongful removal, sue cps, the county, the state, and everyone involved (ALL the wrong doers) individually and the group homes or facilities they are in. (one by one) dont let no one tell you you cant either. This is the most ridiculious government people i have ever came across he who gave them that much power to let them act as GOD should be FIRED.
