[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 618874, member: 84"] TM, I checked unemployment during our 2 wk lay off in December. (plant shuts down for cleaning) I don't qualify until I've worked 12 consecutive months. Doesn't have to be at the same job, just that time frame. DDD I used food stamps. I got tossed off when I got the job. I make too much. I haven't yet figured out how I'm supposed to pay my bills (which by most standards today are not that high) and still eat, but they seem to think I can manage just fine and dandy. I won't do the govt programs for utilities. I had them come back and bite me in the rear the last time I used them. I can't get help with the house payment unless I let the mortgage go into default, which I won't risk doing. I asked for health coverage, I got birth control for a post menopausal woman. omg If you don't have kids in the home......to some degree you're just scr*wed. Good surprise? easy child covered the cost for the starter kits for mine and Travis' e cigs. I used mine from 3pm until just a few minutes ago just fine. I'm not perfect at it, but it actually is just not bad at all. Pleasantly surprised. So that will drastically reduce one part of my budget. I will manage somehow. If another job with better pay or a 2nd job that could be worked into my unusual hours isn't possible.....and I'm still hurting.....there are plenty of things around here to sell off for cash. I've not had to do that yet, and I hope I don't have to resort to it, but that is what they are there for. Meanwhile, I still have an overflowing pantry/freezer and we certainly won't go hungry any time in the near future. [/QUOTE]
