MD....do these people get help with food and medical too or does that have to come out of their benefits??
MD · Feb 4, 2016 15:03
I don't understand how they work it out. My time on benefits was 1983-1986 and things have obviously changed. I can see why people don't want to work if they can get benefits ..... that amount is more than the average wage. So in the US .... $600 means you are too rich for health...

OMG....i read that they all get the same amount of money....here what you get depends on how many are in the family...and elderly rarely get it because they have their social security retirement money!!!!  MD...i was turned down for health insurance because my monthly income is $...

Apparently £26,000 is the annual amount according to this article ..... any many others I've just found. And see how sensibly they are spending it. I don't know if it's on your news about the hordes of immigrants who try to get into the UK ..... I wonder if our benefits system ha...

I was on welfare for 3 years. It gave me enough to tick over but not enough to do repairs. The kids got free uniforms and free school dinners ..... which they found embarrassing. I was grateful for what they gave me. My son left school on a Friday and started work the next Monday...

it's a sad reality!! i can see that many welfare moms breed welfare children...they grow up and go on welfare because it's all they know!!! and yet the working people who need help for a short amount of time usually get nothing...hubby was out of work for 18 months once with a br...

I would have thought worn floors were important. I can remember after my first hubby left ...... the floorboards upstairs were in a bad condition ... underneath fitted carpet. When the kids and I found a new spot that creaked and sagged badly .... we put a cuddly toy to identify ...

I wonder what he did put on his application for welfare ..... silly to put self-employed on Facebook and unemployed on an application form. In the UK we are always reading of people on disability benefit taking part in marathons or some other physical thing ..... and getting thei...

i will call the inspectors back in for another inspection as soon as the alarms are in and new switches in kitchen and bathroom and the chimney is repaired and the out flow pipe to the furnace is done....those are "safty" issues!!!!  worn floors are not safty issues!!!

MD....i read the paper wrong....we have 30 days....WHEW....what a relief :) LOL MD...i don't think he wanted to put "drug dealer" on his application for welfare!!!!
MD · Feb 4, 2016 13:22
That really annoys me when people claim welfare and cheat. I wouldn't have the nerve to do it .... I know I'd be found out. Well ..... he's got nothing to brag about now. Is the work at your mom's coming along ok?  20 days isn't long. I don't suppose they'll be back in 20 days to...

flooring is for moms house....it was on the list of things that need to be done!!! MD...that guy was also on welfare and bragged about it!!!!
MD · Feb 4, 2016 13:00
Big houses are vastly overrated ........ I was happy to move to a seaside apartment that cost more than the big house. You've picked out flooring ..... is this for your place or your mom's? Yes .... self employed and making more money than he would at a proper job.These dealers s...

good morning MD! i always wanted a big house but it wasn't to be!!!  i'm picking out flooring for the living room now...i think i found what i want! a man who lives across from my daughter was arrested the other day for heroin possession with intent to sell, so another one bites ...

Good morning Trix ..... I'm surprised you don't!!! The first house we bought in France was huge. We bought it with the intent of doing bed & breakfast but found we didn't need to. Anyway .... there were enough rooms for hubbby and I to avoid each other from morning till night ......

LOL MD....I could lock the door after he leaves :)

Oh the bliss of a little hide-away for you!!!!!  It's a shame you can't have a little hide-away in your house.
