[quote:Anonymous Coward 21268743:MV8yMDUzMzcxXzM0NTE4NDY3X0E4MTg5RUY0] Apparently people don't realize how bad our country is. I keep seeing people call others names and tell them to get a job. Just for some info....I was the manager of an optical store, I made 22 an hour plus benefits, when I was laid off cause the business was being sold and there was no place for me. I have been unemployed now for 3 months, had to move to my inlaws to not have bills. They are a blessing if it wasn't for them we wouldn't have internet to search for work.(was going to library before moving) I have had a job since I was 16(now 33) and have paid plenty of taxes to get a little assistance. I have chosen not to get welfare but do receive food. When your life has fallen apart and you can't buy cloths, pay rent or utilities, gas for car or diapers it really a true blessing for me to be able to cook a meal for my child. I find it funny people say get a job, I have tried (352 application to be exact) yes I keep track. I. Have applied for everything McDonald's, pizza hut and gas stations. I finally will be going to an interview tomorrow (cracker barrel ) it is very hard and disheartening to be in this situation. So to all who name call and insult....I pray this never happens to you or your family....noone should go through this....ever! Don't assume you know a persons circumstance. It. Was funny someone tried insulting me, he was a waiter who makes less then minimum wage and only reports enough tips to make minimum wage, he was living with his parents still and has most likely paid less taxes in his whole life then I did in 5 years of my life. There is already enough selfishness and greed in this country why can't people see what it is doing to us. Believe me I know there are people who suck off the system but there is no reason to judge all who need. Or call complete strangers names, its just not....polite. [/quote]

Went to pick up some groceries and was told that the system is down so no food stamp usage for now.
Don't know if Chase is having problems or what?
And before anyone calls me a useless eater I've worked all my life and am having some health issues that are preventing me from working right not..but not forever.
Haven't been on it long so don't know is this is unusual or not.
