I know I'm poor, because I actually know what ketchup soup and a chili sandwich is. Also and that I have my own recipe for a fried balony sandwich, know how to make a peanut butter and peanut butter sandwich, among a lot of other non-traditional meals. I know how to make an actual meal consisting of Romani noodles and any meat product. I don't think there is anything
Well my situation is simple I'm poor. I've been making the vane attempt of living well far below the poverty level and what a lot of agencies consider an exteremely low income. The major reason I'm so poor is I'm disabled an disability is a fixed rate every month for a year. Sometimes it goes up a few dollars, but at the rate I'm going I'll never catch up to the rate of expenses and inflation. As it is the agency only alloted me a total of $34 for my
Cell phones are overrated until you actually have situations in which you actually can use one. I had a family emergency and had to go searching for a working pay phone it took trying 6 different pay phones. Then when I moved I had no working phone and had to go 6 blocks just to be able to make a phone call. What is really bad is I do have a pay phone right across the street from the building I'm in and it doesn't work. I actually had to go 6 blocks to my friends place just to be able to make a
One big problem I can't even afford Broadband Intent that is $39.95. Compare that to $9.95 and there is a huge difference in bills. The cheapest DSL I can't afford and that is $17.95 then you have to add taxes and another fee. Like I said the cheapest thing I could find for a little speed is $14.95 and even that is excellerated and I don't even have enough to afford that. I don't even got cable anymore since standard went up to over $50 a month. It sucks to be poor!!!!
Well just as everything started running smoothly and things were stating to look up smothing else goes wrong. I thought I had it made when I found 16 pennies in a week all heads up and a quarter in a grocery store parking lot, my phone decides to die only after having it installed for about a week. I really wish I did have the money for even a cheapo cell phone. Rig
Well now that I'm moved in and almost have everything unpacked and where it is sapose to be things are just starting to settle down. Now all I need is just a shard of the sanity I lost in the insane hassles and problems I had just to move in. Now I'm not asking for complete sanity. For one that is just too boring to be "normal", for another in this insane world we l
I've been moved in for a little over a week. Besides one obnoxiously noisy neighbor, until I said something to the manager about them, I've been doing OK.
Humm nice to know there are still some more of us "crazies" out there. Lol
The hassle of not being able to move into my appartment actually was a good thing. I avoided an acidental local power outage,having to boil my water, a computer virus and malicious worm from infecting my home computer. This was all made possible because of the fact I have been unable to move in for about 3 weeks! <!-- Ju-
Well I'm still not moved into an appartment I was sapoise to move into by May 31. Almost everthing I own is in storage and I've been sharing a sofa with my cat. I can't begin to describe the discomfort, but yes it definately could be worse. The major problem I seem to be having is the appartment didn't pass an inspection, because it had no heater in the bedroom. The r
True I could be sleeeping on the side of the road with a cat carrier besides me.
Everyone most likely has been raging about the increase is gasoline, natural gas and electricity. Boy what would i give for that to be the worst thing going on in my life. In January my mother had a major storoke and wound up in a nursing home, where she now resides. Now I still have to travel the same distance to visit her is the only plus. Then I had major car repai
Well I only asked for snow not the subzero tempatures those I could really do without!!!
Well, yes Sudanese, Porto Ricans, Bosnians , just to name a few.
Well Ok the title is a bit strange but I started my blog that way for 2 reasons; one being that using Americans wouldn't totally fit since more than just Americans use the Internet; two being first and formost we live on a planet that contains several contenants and Ameraca is only on one of those contenents. So some of you whom regularly read JoeUser may or may not
Well snow is great as all things are ..... in moderation....
Well I thought as much!
Here we are into the first week of the New Year and really I haven't seen much change. We are still in a senseless war in Iraq. (Bin Ladin admitted involvement in 9/11) Things were going well after my knee surgery until I did 1 exercise that hurt like h&*%. Then My knee went back to hurting most the time and poping. I regret doing the phisical therapy exercise, bu
or my knee has to stop thinking it's pop corn one of the 2.
Well it is 2005 and I still do everything my rice crispies tell me to do ( you know snap, crackle, pop) especially pop if I popped any more I'd be pop corn. lol Well it's been that way ever since I did 1 physical therapy excersize that hurt like a few choice words I'll censor. However I happen to do one thing I got rid of some things I wasn't using and I didn't attrib
We had a green christmas
Well December is here and we haven't had any accumalation of snow so ok here I go. Where did the snow go I hopenot on vacation I would like just senough that will stay on the ground awhile. I think 1 foot will do just enough to make snow balls, snow angels, go sleding or skiing, but not so much that the schools close or driving gets real hazardous. Snow is actually pr
That is nothing if I had a camera for 1/16 of the things I've seen one of my cats do I think I would be rich. Especially when my first cat ran away from a robin after it pecked her on the nose.
I know that are nation was mostly built by immigrants, however I think there should be a policy started to curb some of the process. More immigrants that are comming in now are not coming to work for a better life, they want the better life but are unable to work, unwilling to work, or just plain and simple never will be employable. There are some that come for bett
Well actually it wasn't only black farmers that were left out it was almost all the poorest of farmers. My great-grand parents started out as share-croppers and made their farmer work out on their own without assistance and they were not black. They were imagrants half German/ half Scottish the other was half Irish/half English so making a farm work without assistance can be done sometimes.
