if you need help, fine, get help. Lord knows I have, but I have never once refused to work

the only person i know on fs is a married couple with 3 kids. he works, she is in school to get training 4 work they just cannot make ends

thats diff star they are trying

I saw a CNN story about people who said it was better not to work because it reduced their gov't support.

a friend has a daughter who is married with 2 kids. neither adult will work-full of excuses. they get $600 a month!

yeah, Athena - I agree. I wish I could earn that for staying at home..

when I was pregnant, I had to take classes, Billy had to put in 40 hours a week at the Salvation Army until he found a job

there are so many people getting help the restrictions have slackened entirely too much and people are really taking advantage

let me rephrase that-SOME people are taking advantage

a strong ethic to always do accept both work *and* help when needed. Anything else doesn't make sense.

this is a soap box i'd gladly let you stay on. It irks me, too.

I used to believe that the govt had an obligation to help its citizens, but every day that passes I see someone else taking advantage of it

and it makes me want to vomit.

that drives me nutso. We tech qualify for $10 a month but we don't get it

10? wow they are really generous

yep they just really know how to help a person.

I guess they expect you to live on Ramen?

pretty much. They expect you to eat the cheap non nutritious foods. After all you don't treat celiac by avoiding gluten you don't treat vit

deficiencies with vit.supplements there's no such thing as a dairy protien (casein) problem it's got to be the sugar in the dairy that is

being reacted to. puncture resistant tires in an area that has a lot of goat head thorns are a luxury & not a needed for proper wheelchair

use. I can go on if you'd like to see how back into the dark ages we are. Oh and you got to remember girls can't have autism

yep they aren't free with the help here. Unless you have children under 7 then you can get some help.

docs don't do much for kids like check iron levels cause they just assume you will be getting it done through wic

Ridiculous. Isn't the WIC item list small? For years you were only allowed to buy crap.

WIC is limited to formula (for 1 year), juice, cereal, peanut butter, cheese, eggs

depends on the status of the situation. Once upon a time it was milk, cereal, juice, peanut butter, cheese, carrots, beans,tuna, & some

other things.

but I was referring to the tests wic does more than the food. Like lead and iron for example

Ah, thanks.

I hear you
