Nothing in the WORLD pisses me off worse than paying me late. I've caused huge problems for those who have, in life. This sponsor is full of people I respect and all but love, so I am not going to the boards with it (I rarely EVER do.. I think AWE is the only sponsor I've ever spoken up against on the board).
And then after all I went through last time when they refused to expedite the check: I am told, I may end up having to pay a $25 fee this time!!!! I love them but if that is how it's gonna be, I'm done with them. I have got to have my limits.
But yes - I also qualify for all kinds of assistance, am in the "can o beans" situation and they can fucking keep their "aid". When I say I hate the raping thieving government, I MEAN IT, it means they can also keep the money they want to steal from someone to give to ME.

Before I wrap it up I want to respond to this.
Yeah when you dont have a large savings to say the least you plan on checks way in advance. I do a budget every two weeks. Of course you go to the store and plan on spending say 100 max and you spend $130. Now those checks you count on are real important.
When they are late and then when (right or wrong) you cant get ahold of anyone you start to get a lil po'ed.
2 cans pinto beans (drained)
2 cans kidney beans (drained)
2 TBLSP oil
2/3 cup water
1 TBLSP Chile powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp cumim
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp oregano
Simmer till right consistency
$2 will go a ways but beans can get old.
But not too bad and the best deal there is at the groc store.
Hint: If you are using flour tortillas. Do not use taco sauce. Instead use pure Sour Cream. Goes real good with beans.
Food stamps only give like $115 and for that you got all the govt red tape so I also just let them keep the welfare unless I really needed it then I would take it.
And last, you dont need cable or land line phone service. Get your nut low MM. A penny saved is a penny earned. Sucks to live that way but it can get you by till times get better which they will.
