Now that the Young Prince has been elected, I thought everybody's problems would be magically solved?? Then how come DUmmie graywarrior has posted this THREAD, "Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, I just signed up for Food Stamps and Unemployment!"? Well, maybe the magic will have to wait until January 20, 2009. DA*N THAT BUSH! Why can't he get out NOW and let Obambi take over?! So let us grab a hankie and watch the DUmmies commiserate with DUmmie graywarrior, in Red Ink Red, while the commentary of your humble guest correspondent, the Old Philosopher Charlie Henrickson, thinking maybe PJ-Comix can give graywarrior advice on cutting her grocery bills, is in the [brackets]:
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, I just signed up for Food Stamps and Unemployment!
[Weeeeeee--WHOOOAAA! Wha' hoppen? I thought Obambi was going to FIX everything??]
The economy is working just great for us! AND and and, we make too much money to qualify for heat assistance! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
[Thank Gaia for global warming!]
AND and and, we gave our notice to move because we can't afford the rent and our landlady is starting eviction proceedings because we broke the lease (because there is STILL raw sewage leaking in the walls from the two condos above us which she refuses to get on the condo associations ass about)...weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
[Call Joe the Plumber.]
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! AND and and, our car broke down on Thanksgiving Day so we had to put $400 on our credit card to get it fixed so we could drive 120 miles back home after visiting relatives we have not seen in years.
[This was Gaia's way of telling you to reduce your carbon footprint.]
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! AND AND AND Mr Gray has to have a non-melanoma tumor removed from his arm in two weeks after already waiting three weeks because we have no health insurance!!!!!
[So you don't have health insurance! At least you've got high-speed internet!]
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
[WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!]
I am so excited to be alive right now I can't tell you! Life is just so great, yessiree. Good thing I am whacky and insane otherwise I'd be sucking on the tailpipe of my Toyota.
[Only non-wacky, sane people suck on tailpipes of Toyotas.]
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
[Hiya, cousin. . . . You say you tried to sign up for food stamps and unemployment but they fired the people at the food stamp office so you couldn't? You say you make too much money for heat assistance so you threw your money in the fireplace so you'd qualify? And you think you've got raw sewage leaking down the walls, only you're not sure because it kind of blends in with the wallpaper? And you spent your last dollar getting your car fixed so you could visit relatives you don't even like? Is that what's bothering you, bunkie? . . .
WELL, LIFT YOUR HEAD UP HIGH AND TAKE A WALK IN THE SUN WITH THAT DIGNITY AND STICK-TO-IT-IVENESS THAT YOU'LL SHOW THE WORLD, YOU'LL SHOW THEM WHERE TO GET OFF, YOU'LL NEVER GIVE UP, NEVER GIVE UP, NEVER GIVE UP . . . THE SHIP!
Now this is the Old Philosopher saying . . . Let's hear from the DUmmies . . .]
Stay the f*ck away from the tailpipe of your Toyota, do you hear me???
[Support public transportation! Use the tailpipe of a city bus!]
There's one cold comfort in all this. It can't get a whole lot worse.
[Thank you, Mr. Sunshine.]
At least we will soon have a President who will actually do something to correct all this sh*t.
[Yes! Yes! Hope! Change! If only we can hold on a while longer!]
This is my usual food pantry day but I didn't feel like standing outside in 17 degree weather in line for an hour.
[You might get your tongue stuck on a pole.]
And walk through the supermarket and look at the price of bread and milk.
[You need to take PJ-Comix to the store with you, to give you advice. In fact, PJ, you should have your own cable show: "The Grocery Whisperer."]
Things will get better. 1 20 09.
[I have a feeling that, like the Millerites of old, you will experience "The Great Disappointment."]
Once the focus is on us the citizens of America all that ails us will be getting better.
[Come quickly, Obamassiah!]
no health insurance but we do alternative medicine anyway.
[A good joint helps make your troubles disappear.]
Hoping things get better come Feb., March after Obama and Co. can get some programs for the jobless going.
[Obambi to the rescue!]
Come on universal health care and stimulus package..I think about 10,000 each for people in your situation would be great.
[Piker! Go for a HUNDRED thou!]
It is times like these we need to look out for each other. How can we start a secret santa/giving tree type thing on DU?
[DUmmie graywarrior is only $10 away from having $10.]
My only good reliable coping mechanism, when life is the sh*ts, is to take pleasure in small things: a new magazine and a cup of cocoa, a day off when it's snowy outside, a movie or board-game night with family or friends . . .
[. . . making artistic designs out of the raw sewage on the walls. . . . You know, the little things. . . .]
We can all blame bush but sorry to say
It started before his election day
Republicans were in power even then
Although Clinton was the president.
[And come the end of January
When the President is our friend Barry
And Dems in Congress run both houses
We'll still find a way to blame those louses--
THE RETHUGLICANS!]
Screw the wealthy for begrudging us the right to live.
[When all else fails and your life stinks, BLAME THE RICH!]
this gives me another excuse to scream, "F*ck you, Bush!"
[Well, at least SOMETHING good comes out of all this!]
crappety crap. sending you some mental hope, gw. Hope it helps.
[Look, the walls are getting cleaner!]
I'm sure you'll dig your way out of it but right now, just ugh! Ugh! Ugh!
[Unnngh..]
I am hoping that all this crap is behind you.
[It sounds like it's staring her in the face!]
No insurance here, either, but at least I don't have sh*t in the walls. . . .
[Life is good.]
Maybe they should shop at Walmart instead.
Bread is about a dollar a loaf and milk goes for $3.60/gal, which is 50 cents lower than it was last year....
BTW, do the DUmmies know that both Walmart and Target get Haliburton "Re-education Camp" money? If they think that only Republican conservatives are going to be interred there, they need to think again. ALL people that are on government assistance will be sent there!
(How do you think they know about you in the first place? You signed up for food stamps, they now have your name and address!)
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
More like we now have a president elect that doesn't know sh*t....
I do not think that means what you think it means!”
Remember, Joe said "jobs" was a 3 letter word, so I guess "work" would be outright profanity....
Or that we would all have "jobs", but we wouldn't actually have to "work"....
Hey, it "worked for the USSR for 60 years....
Can't you imagine the chaos it would create?
I love chaos....
Mayhem, too....
The one I remember is "If you're up to your nose in 'excrement', keep your mouth shut."
I think it’s my son, who did things just like this all through HS and college. At one time, he had a candy route on the school bus with markdown candy he bought somewhere that I forget just now.
We have always been self-employed. What’s unemployment? We don’t qualify. I taught my son by example: have many strings to your bow and know how to shift your weight. He has a real 9-5 job,with benefits, even, at the moment and still does some small, part-time gigs, just in case. His wife has two jobs. They are the definition of frugal. They took a huge 401(k) hit. But they own their home and have a paid for vehicle. In their mid-forties, they not only have never taken assistance, but they are the ones who do not ask for family help from either side.
TypeZ, I applaud you. Except for the vegan part, but everyone has their own taste.
[Weeeeeee--WHOOOAAA! Wha' hoppen? I thought Obambi was going to FIX everything??]
Voted themselves a pay raise of Zero.
[Thank you, Mr. Sunshine.]
It will be a lot worse when the DUmmie Ant Farm regulars find out that BO stans for Bend Over.
[Obambi to the rescue!]
Yep. Try giving a job to someone on a government give-away program. Ain't gonna happen.
[When all else fails and your life stinks, BLAME THE RICH!]
Hey DUmmie, when was the last time anyone on the government's teat offered you a job? FWIW DUmmie, the wealthy are the ones who create jobs.
[It sounds like it's staring her in the face!]
If there is cr*p behind you, run, run, run away!.
Any thread that invokes the Millerites gets my vote. Xena sez check it out.
Well, the market where I used to get stuff 4 for 5 bucks no longer has that deal. However, they still have good deals there. The other day all half gallons of ice cream were just a buck each. I also like Winn-Dixie because they have great meat deals there. My Thanksgiving turkey was just 79 cents a pound there.
The biggest problem in Florida is that we don't have stores that double coupons here like they did in California. Sometimes I could buy $40 of groceries for only about 4 to 10 dollars.
My wife is picking up our food deal today. For 50 bucks we get enough food to last for 10 days. Good stuff too. Steaks, shrimp, fish, etc.. It is supplied “under the table” by a food wholesaler. We also get Heinecken beer, olive oil, paper towels, TP, etc.. Sometimes we even get packages of Nova lox in the deal which makes for great breakfasts. So for about $150 per month we eat very well. Hopefully ox tails are in today’s deal. I really love those.
My wife does 85% of our grocery shopping at Aldis. 10% at Wal-Mart, and the other 5% at regular grocery stores. Our grocery bills are pretty damn low for a family of 4 that eats like pigs.
The economy is working just great for us! AND and and, we make too much money to qualify for heat assistance!
AND and and, we gave our notice to move because we can't afford the rent and our landlady is starting eviction proceedings because we broke the lease (because there is STILL raw sewage leaking in the walls from the two condos above us which she refuses to get on the condo associations ass about)...
...AND and and, our car broke down on Thanksgiving Day so we had to put $400 on our credit card to get it fixed so we could drive 120 miles back home after visiting relatives we have not seen in years.
AND AND AND Mr Gray has to have a non-melanoma tumor removed from his arm in two weeks after already waiting three weeks because we have no health insurance!!!!!
These are the first five posts. I'm going to assume they're from the same individual because of the repeated "WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE'S" I removed. I noticed the contradiction between their making too much money to get heat assistance, yet can't afford health insurance. I suspect that was before unemployment hit them, but if they were employed, I suspect health insurance was available through their employer and they simply opted out. It's the fact of the "we make too much money" quote that suggests that.
Anyway, had they opted in for health insurance they could have carried it over into unemployment. So who's fault is it they don't have it? I'm retired. I'm in one of those age groups who are constantly talked about being hit hard by health insurance costs. And, I have serious health issues...have had for years.
Yet, I have excellent health insurance. And guess what; there's no premium, just small co-pays per service rendered. And to get it I didn't have to "qualify" except for being on Medicare a minimum of 2 years. In fact this insurance replaces Medicare and pays more than Medicare. A number of qualified insurers offer such plans.
My point is, there are insurance plans available for everyone...if one wants to pay and play. Even the unemployed can be covered, or can walk into any doctor's office or hospital and be assured of treatment. An American with health issues cannot, I repeat CANNOT be turned away.
What this clinger wants is to have it GIVEN to them. It's their right don't ya know.
Go to freaking Kenya, where your messiah was born and see how long you have to wait!
I can't wait for the rich liberals to find out that they won't be able to see a doctor because every crack head in their city has the appointments all booked.
AMMO stamps! Now yer talkin’!
LOL...
Yeah but you just can’t beat the “under the table” deals the wholesalers provide. They are supposed to sell only to the supermarkets but they also sell to select private parties like us. You can buy in units of $50 or $100. I’ve added up what we get on the $50 deal and the retail prices are usually over $200. Those packages of Nova lox don’t come cheap. I’ve had packs of oxtails that have retail tags on them of about $20. I almost always also get a large bag of shrimp. Strip steaks are common in the packages. And usually I get a 12-pack of Heinecken in the deal. Sometimes the $50 packages are spectacular and sometimes they are merely good but we always SAVE at least a hundred bucks. Sometimes a lot more. We can’t pick exactly what we want but the supplier always gives us great stuff. And they usually last 10 days for the food.
The "long-lost" relatives were probably very happy to see gw & crew off...
(But, but, but -- if the car crapped out by the relatives' place, couldn't THEY help you out with the finances to get you home? Must be Libs too.)
[I have a feeling that, like the Millerites of old, you will experience "The Great Disappointment."]
[chuckle]...same thought I had.
