EBT down in NY...anyone else? (& PA & NJ)

The ADA Act... is a conspiracy in itself. Nothing like trying to force a disabled individual to compete with all the able bodied individuals who are unemployed. Although... I have known disabled people who can do alot better job than some of the incompetent schmucks already out there... through sheer determination alone. I just think it's ridiculous to expect them to WANT to work... or insist that they DO work... and lay phukken guilt trips on them if they DON'T. It should be a matter of CHOICE... not something shoved down someone's throat 'cause you resent them being supported by your tax dollars.

To anyone with EBT who might have to go the weekend without food, I would like to share something with you and I hope it doesn't upset you.

I was expecting to get my EBT allotment last Friday- exactly 1 week ago, today.

It was a good thing, too, because I had no food left.

When I got to the cashier with 18 dollars of groceries I was told that my EBT card said I only had 80 cents left on it.

Needless to say it was pretty humiliating watching the people in line watch ME, but I apologized to the cashier for inconveniencing her, offered to go put the bagged groceries back on the shelves where I got them, and then left the store.

Well, it was 5 PM and the local office had closed and since Monday was a legal holiday I knew I wouldn't possibly be resolving the problem until Tuesday when they re-opened.

I am a Christian and Christ's teachings (along with other stories in the bible, such as the Exodus) came in handy to get me through those 4 days (Fri, Sat, Sun, Mon).

A few of the stories/verses I relied on the most:

"Give us this day our daily bread"

The Israelites journeying into their promised land for 40 years, only having God's gift of Manna delivered to them each morning for food"

Christ's feeding the multitudes with only a few fish and loaves.

"Deliver us from Temptation"

"Love thy neighbor as thyself"

Daniel's Fast



I tell you this because I hope you will look to God for strength in hard times such as these.

It's scary to go without food and water.

But I asked my neighbor for a couple of slices of bread and I had a couple of eggs and butter.

I also had some saltine crackers.

I prayed that God use the little I had to sustain me and allow me to not feel weak from hunger and He did.

He will do this for you, too, if you ask.

I know you won't like hearing this but it truly works. If you ask He will provide this miracle for you, too.

I hope the EBT goes up soon for all of you but I am an example of this happening last weekend and I survived it.

Keep your chin up, friends.

These rough times are just beginning and yet we are at the end.

Love each other, look to Christ for the answer and have faith in God who Loves you.

176,000 rounds are .308, OTM (open tip match) and I remember in the contract, 'must be delivered in 30 days'. DHS can also use their own private weapons. That's what a DHS agent told me at the range. His weapon of choice was a scoped AK-47. It's going to get ugly for all of us....

USELESS EATER

I can't speak for the others but I have free Wifi in my city.

I spend this time of day downloading church material for the weekend service I host in my home for people in my community who are interested in attending.

While it's downloading I come to GLP.

I hope that helps.

If you have read the entire thread, you would see where she already said it is not her Internet. Dude, it's called wifi.... You can hook up to anyone's open wifi signal and use the Internet...... And for the record, a phone can do that without even having phone service or a data plan..... I found that out from Verizon when my iPhone was stollen last week.... It works the same as an iPod would....

Grandma/Grandpa/Mom/Dad all dead 70-91yo. No American Dream here since nObama is killing jobs and none will hire anymore unless you are a protected class.

I am jealous you work 56 HOURS a week. Think I will pull a lib move... 'you have what I want so hand it over or we will demonize you until you lose it all too'.

You are a useless person, you can tell by your post!
There are few jobs in this country, people who have worked
paid in and lost their jobs need food! Everyone needs food,
except you!

I was just at the grocery store and they had a sign saying NO EBT as it's DOWN FOR ENTIRE EAST COAST

Do they also give away free computers? Must be nice being poor in such a rich country.

I'm in Florida

nothing to do with Sandy here

I think the EBT doom has just fizzled out.

"The state's Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card system, run by JPMorgan Chase, is currently active and processing transactions after a national outage of JPMorgan services ...

The outage began this morning around 7 a.m. and lasted until about 1 p.m."

This is awesome.
I hope it stays down.

Sick of seeing better
food in the carts of
gov. cheese eaters, than
I can afford to purchase
with my hard earned cash!

Here is some good news for the people who are truly concerned about the ebt outage, and not for those with hateful tongues spamming useless rhetoric.

I have just been informed that it is now back up and working just fine (at least here in FLORIDA).

Like I said earlier... it appears to be affecting areas hit by SANDY. An opportunity to clean up the fraud.

Seems like its slowly coming back online...there were some pretty pissed off people at my local store. Good thing too because there would def have been chaos in the streets if no FOODSTAMPS (the horror).
