Sounds like we dated the same woman...

You just described they environment in which I was raised - family and friends helping one another. I have done computer work for family and friends (tech support, upgrades, etc.) as well as assembling furniture, light mechanical work/repair, and the list goes on. My family has also helped friends and family in hard times by taking on people to live in their homes while someone is trying to get back on their feet. I learned a lot about how to really help people from the way that my family lived.

A whole life spent suckling on the public teat. Pathetic.

What this clinger wants is to have it GIVEN to them. It's their right don't ya know.

What that lazy turd wants is for someone to bring the benefits to him/her. She/He doesn't want to have to move from the Lazy-Boy in front of the flatscreen TV (hooked up to Internet) to actually go and apply for the benefit.

I worked in welfare for over 25 years. At first we had to call TWO people to verify what the client stated. We had to have actual pay stubs, original bank records, rent and utility receipts, auto ownership, etc. Then it went to calling just one person. Then, we took the word of the client but still verified assets, income and expenses. Finally we just took their word for it, so anyone could apply and lie and get benefits. We only verified IF we had "good cause" to doubt a client's statement. Like the new SUV they drove up in . . . always belonged to someone else, they said AND we HAD to take their word for that unless we could document our suspicions (like the license plate said "Hers" or something like that)!

I am so glad I'm retired. I may not live high on the hog, but I do live high on the piglet.

The 1-20-09 dummie BHO mantra...

“it’s not that we don’t care,
we just know that the fight ain’t fair
so we keep on waiting
waiting on the world to change”

Any tips for approaching a wholesaler to set up an arrangement like this?

[Sally'sConcerns]

Hey PJ, I’d be interested in finding some type of deal like you’ve found also. I’ve read about co-ops one can join where for x amt of money one gets a box full of fresh food (mostly in season produce) on a weekly basis. The problem is in my area there’s not a co-op within 150 miles.

You're a better person than I am. I couldn't handle that job. I don't have the patience for it. My life in management in the private sector seemed sufficiently full of aggravation. I'd not last a day in an environment you present.

[PJ-Comix]

And how would one go about becoming a ‘select’ private party?

Marry into it. It's sort of a Latin thing. I don't think any "gringos" are select parties. Suppliers and customers are all Latins.

See my reply above. It's sort of a Latin thing.

This isn't a co-op. Just wholesalers that want to make an extra buck on the side so they sell under the table.

My mom made ox-tail soup. It was DEE-LISH!

I eat it straight up. It's the texture that I find very appealing.

[PJ-Comix]

I was SOOO impressed the PJ knew about the Millerites

I'm more familiar with the Russellites.

[Charles Henrickson]

It's sort of a Latin thing.

I can read Latin. Does that qualify?

[Charles Henrickson]

Hey, PJ! NucSubs freepmailed me and asked to be added to the ping list. How many pingees does that make?

And these people have the right to vote?

BRING BACK THE POLL TEST!

I was on unemployment for a little while and I got a new job several weeks ago delivering auto parts. Yeah, perhaps knowing one of my bosses for over 30 years and since 5th grade and we still hang together helped a bit but it’s a living and I’m getting all 40 hours even though I was promised 30 to 32 hours a week. I think with the economy, people need parts to keep the old cars running instead of buying new ones. I know I’m mainly IT and some accounting for the most part in my life but anything will do to pay the bills, you can’t be choosy. Anyways, I’ll also have more hands on experience with cars, a good skill in these times. I guess while the Dummies collect unemployment, I’ll be hard at work. I remember Glenn Beck made a good point that the people who worked the hardest during the Depression generally kept their jobs, they might had to cut back on hours from time to time, but they had money coming it or at worst, the last to be let go. I guess while the Dummies sleep in and then get up to watch Gomer Pyle, I’ll be dragging my butt out of bed and hauling heavy auto parts. It’s OK, I like the job and somebody has to do it and when I come home, I feel like I’ve done something worthwhile instead of having the world go by me.

Remember, Joe said "jobs" was a 3 letter word, so I guess "work" would be outright profanity....

It's like the old show, "Dobie Gillis," where Maynard G. Krebs used to yell "work" when it was mentioned, he tended to shy away from work.

And these people have the right to vote?

Scary, isn't it.

I heard Neal Boortz say this one time. Voting "rights" should be only for those that own property and pay taxes....
