LMAO did I say I was playing a GAME? I said I was DREAMING. How are you so grand and mighty to decide if I am a “dumb ass”? How do you know if I have enough money to even BUY coffee? Hon for all you know, I may OWN the mountain that coffee grows on…FYI no I dont own the mountain.(but I might someday) I do agree with you on handling finances properly, and for me that means no cable (for now at least)eating at McDonalds as a treat and paying my bills on time…so which one of us is deaf by the way? I had no idea my computer could SCREAM so LOUD…or do you just normally go around putting “!!!!!!!!!!!!!” after everything you say because you think the louder you yell makes you more correct? LOL
Because I dont spend my money on things I dont have to (Cable, Starbucks coffee, getting my nails done, etc) I can make a house payment, I can cloth my children – of which I chose to have only two – in second hand clothing be it may, but they are dressed. I had to take my son in to the dentist for an emergency today…two years ago I wouldnt have had the extra money, today I did because I am “planing a head” as you said…I am still hoping for a money tree…a girl can DREAM now cant she? Or are you going to call me a dumb ass (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) ?
You really should calm down, unless you have money put aside to pay the medical bills for a heart attack…if you do well then knock yourself out baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BTW
takes a dumb ass to know a dumb ass when they see one…cant say as I know you…
Have a great day!

Jeff I agree with you on the convict idea. I would LOVE to go get a job, I am not able to due to health issues. Jobs are already limited where I am at, and having health issues doesnt help much…BTW I HAVE tried to hold down a job. I went to the docs. (at my cost) to get relief for my pain so that I could stay with my job…sort of pointless to go get meds. to make your job easier for you only to use your pay check to pay for the meds, AND childcare. We found that my staying home would actually save money! I cant say we are bad off, I am not really complaining,I guess its the people around me taking advantage of the money and making it so the ones that really do need the help cant get it…the friend I spoke of in my last comment? She has been let go of three times in the past four months because she missed to many days of work, to stay home with her sick child…FYI he wasnt sick, she just didnt want to work that day…when I was working I missed very few days – even when I could hardly move I made it to work. I stayed with the same job for three years and then just couldnt do it anymore…then I started staying home and did daycare…I was lucky if I got paid because I would listen to the sob stories of the single moms saying they just couldnt pay this week because they didnt have the $$$. They didnt have the dollars because they had to have new nails, or they went out drinking with their friends…pick a reason. I blame myself for not being more of a hard ass about getting paid…they just didnt care that when they didnt pay me the agreed amount and on time it meant food off of our table and bills that didnt get paid. Would YOU go to work all week and then find out they were not going to pay you for the work you did?
I thank you for your opinion…

The only ones that got anything this year was the people on welfare and food stamps! (as if getting eveything handed to them on a silver platter wasn’t enough already?) They got $200 each kid for “school supplies”. The rest of us got NOTHING (like usual). The thing that bother’s me the most, the majority of those people didn’t even use that money on their kids! I heard some bragging that they blew it on this or that… It just makes me mad that we have to pay to support them when we have ourselves (and our own kids) to support and we have to go without. They even got more money handed to them in their welfare checks! Doesn’t Obama realize that after we buy our food, pay our deductables, co-pays and co-insurances (on our health insurance), pay our heat bill etc…(everything that they are getting for free) that we are just as poor as the welfare people? Actually, they are probably better off then we are in the end, since they get everything handed to them for free… Maybe a good solution would be… Everyone go on welfare. Why would they ever want to work and better themselves when they get everything for free and we have to pay to support them? IT’S BULL CRAP!!

I know what you mean…. All we can really do is hope things get better and turn around… I have been out of work for over a year now. (So I’m not getting that extra $13 a week. I get nothing…not even unemployment.). Luckily my husband still has his job and we are surviving on one paycheck (barely). The only thing that is good about me not working is my daughter qualified for more financial aide for college. What scares me is when she graduates she won’t find a job with how the economy is, and the students loans are due 6 months after you graduate!! I am just glad that it is summer now, the heat bills are lower, and we have a garden planted that will help with the food bill. Good luck people. Try to hang in there.

Well that extra 13.00 or less a week went to POT after gas prices started to rise again! He isn’t causing nothing but a big ole cluster #@$!…

I guess that Obama thinks the extra $13 a week in our paychecks IS our stimulus check, and good enough to help the people out… That is all we are getting how it sounds…

Perhaps if you would not be a stay at home parent and get a career you wouldn’t think that McDonalds is a treat?!?!?! Trust me I see the Govt. wasting tons of money especially that money spent on a convict’s healthcare. Why should we pay for a CONVICT to have any health care? If they die they save us money in the cost associated with keeping them locked up! Just my opinion.

I think now that they are not concern about the people now.True our education,health is very important,but what would the good if the childerns are homeless and no food to get up and go to school.The people in Washington have good jobs and money,so why should they worry about how the lesser class make it.Before we got in office it was all this talk now it’s a different talk.People need help not later,but now.

I have faith that Barack Obama will do what he said he would do. He a strong man of faith and he shall help our nation recover.
