The system

Ok I know that I have talked about this awhile ago and some points were brought up yesterday here for the welfare system.  Some people have been on it for years and years here and this area is one of the worst for the welfare system.  As some will say why bother to work here when it is the porche system here in NY State.  Several people are right here about that when you are not working here in this state.  When I was on food stamps here other wise known as SNAP now I did not want to be on it for the rest of my time here period.  Since it was bad enough here that I had to take a day off of work and that was no means that I would get recertified for the next 6 months here at the time.  I was working a cruddy job and it paid the bills at the can.  Yes I was working at the time and had 20 dollars by the end of the month to get food and other things for the household.  The social worker told us that we did not qualify for the food stamps and I started screaming what I ain't a certian color here for you toush so I can't F*king eat and don't desirve to like the kings and queens here in the office at this time.  I ended up with 200 pluss a month and it all pushed thru here at the time.  I was not asking for the world at all here just to get enough food in the place so niether one of us starved at all.  At that time I know that some had been on the system for at least 10 years by that time if not longer in how they all were talking while I was in the office for 3 hours by that point.  That is one of the times that my temper has saved my butt here along with my Husabnds also.  As on gal was saying that she was on the system for about 2 years and then her disability kicked in and she dropped the welfare system totally here yesterday.  Also knowing alot of people that have been on it for years and years just do not care in what they get off of the cash grant and the food stamps at this time and they waste the money here.  One guy said he had 3 part time jobs to keep off of the system and one of the jobs is on the graveyard shift at a like a gas station type store and he was not even shocked anymore in what some will do and say when they are on welfare here in the area.  I always made sure that the food money was there before I would go to shopping at the time for the can.  Pluss I used coupons here for that part to streach out the money for the month while I was at it.  I will say the folks that have been on the system for years here just do not care it is free money to them since they do not work at all for what they all get.  What some of us did was the huge coupon traid to streach out the dollars anyway and it helped out at the time where I worked at.  The one social worker could not understand in how I could go to at least 2 stores here and had at least a 5'4" ticket with coupons and sale items here for the can and why some could not do in what I was doing here.  The food pantries were worse than the welfare office with all the brand new cars that were shoing up.  Here I had the Honda and it looked like a piece of crud here also compaired to some and I was wandering in how some could afford the brand new cars here besides scaming the system.  It happends when ya have child after child and the payment is bigger.  Also that is why there is more "Baby Daddies" at this time and they refuse to pay support on all the children they produce here in the area.  All I can say is look and listen in the welfare office halls to get the picture on alot of things that are going on here in areas that you are in and you will hear and see more than ya ever thought ya would.  Some of the people have at least 3 kids in the household if not more and wander why they can not make it in todays world at all here without child support.  I have also noticed here totally that some people just do not care at all in what they look or smell like when they are out and about here.  Ok so I have a hard time washing and rinseing my hair out so it looks nasty nomatter what I do after the neck surgery.  I have picked up shampoo and conditioner for under $1.60 to keep that up and bar soap for a dollar for at least 2 bars here myself.  I can say that a bar of soap will last at least a month for myself and my Husband at this time when he was home all of the time here.  So there is no way that some people should leave the household with totally dirty hair and other parts of them also in todays world welfare or not.  Granted I throw back my hair in some kind of pony tail or leave it down here depending on the level of headache that I have for the day.  Or I put a bandana/rag over my dang head if it looks real bad to me here.  Knowing I had nasty hair here the one day I got told my hair was not dirty nor scanked out by a person who could care less since I did not have to leave the place within the past 18 months.  The look on my face had to have been good since my Husband stood up for me at the time and said no her hair is plain out dirty here 2 months after surgery.  My Husband never complains about that along with others that know me here before and after what has happened with that part of things.  So now here at least there are ways to do things even if ya have dish soap in the household for your hair even now days.  Pluss I have noticed that some do not feed their children while they are on the system here at all now also.  I knew one person who had all 4 kids on the system here and they got hardly enough food to survive on at their place and they would pig out with whom ever was sitting with them at their place. It seemed every time I was making sauce and chili at the time.
