*** Help a DUer *** Sunday, 9/8/13
after which blah-blah-blah explaining how to contribute
There's three primitives listed, and so I went to see how they're doing.
First, there is Are Grits Groceries:
Location:
United States
» South Carolina
» Florence
I need help. I live on a pension, and I don't have health insurance.
I don't have anybody else to depend on even for little things like running errands. I live with 2 sixteen year old cats who need certain medicine and food to maintain a decent life. They need tests right now to check and readjust their meds and such.
Everything has happened at once. My car needs a new alternator. I am marooned now.
I have to get new glasses. My eyes are so bad that an exam and glasses cost about $500. I have put this off, but I am now unable to perform many basic tasks.
I have been treated for depression for decades. It has grown much worse, and I need to see my psychiatrist for several visits before it gets completely out of hand. I need about $1000 to pay for these unexpected expenses.
I have tried every other avenue I can think of. I thought I was going to make it through, but I was in denial or something. I should be panicking and screaming or help. I am out of energy and I just don't care. By the time I may get enough energy to care, it will probably be much worse. HELP!
^^^amount needed: $1000
^^^amount raised: $20 (1 donor)
Second, there is stewert:
Location:
United States
» Illinois
For the last 3 years I was living with my 89 year old Father and taking care of him 24/7 because he had Alzheimers and Dementia. Then he got sick and passed away on May 14th, so now I am in his home all alone paying the house payment, truck, gas & lights, and the Cable/Phone/Internet bills.
I filed for SSI in December of 2012 and it was denied in June, so I am going through the appeal process. And the law firm working on my case tells me I should have a ruling by November. So I need to raise about $2.000.00 by November 10th, to pay my bills of $1.000.00 a month.
I am unemployed with a bad back from back surgery, and other medical problems, so even if I could work it will be almost impossible for me to find a job under my restrictions. For now, I just need to make it to November, and then hopefully SSI will approve my appeal.
^^^amount needed: $1000
^^^amount raised: $650 (6 donors)
But now stewert has added this: 9/8/13 UPDATE: $1000 has been raised, so another $1000 is needed. Ideally another $1300 could be raised since an unexpected insurance expense has arisen.
Third, there is Lady Freedom Returns:
Location:
United States
» Missouri
I was in the Joplin Tornado of 2011. My Significant Other and I were having rough times at that point as it was. He was getting sick at the time and was told the V.A in Tucson would be a good place to go for him to get better. However things started to encroach into our relationship. He decided that after 10 years I was not enough for him. I ended up back in Joplin Mo.
I cannot stay here due to old family grievances. We never got along and they are not helping me. As of Sept. 7, I will have worked off all my debt to many people here that I have acquired at this point and will be ready to go home to Tucson. However it will leave me with very little to live on.
My dream at this point is to get back to Tucson (Oct. 5th that is going to happen), learn to drive, get back behind a studio camera, and get a nice Studio Apartment. But while I am trying to get this going, I just need some money to get food, other basics, and maybe a Motel room for a night since I will arrive on a Sunday morning and the offices I need are closed. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you!
^^^amount needed: $300
^^^amount raised: $10 (1 donor)
Why are the primitives being such tightwads?
-
Why work when you can panhandle? Except this is even more cowardly.
You don't even have to physically face the people you're begging from and feel the justified shame.
-
Why should they donate when the obama stash is there for the taking, you just have to know how to get to it. Obama was going to pay off their houses, put gas in their cars, give them food, phones and cash in their pockets....
-
Guy with "Will Work for Food" signs raise more money than that.
-
I don't get stewart's story and, I sure don't get how he raised $1K. I do get how he suddenly came up with another $1300.00 in unexpected expenses.
LFR isn't any better at begging than she is at anything else. I'm betting the $10.00 was seed money.
-
Guy with "Will Work for Food" signs raise more money than that.
But that actually requires some effort on the DUmmies part. That's a whole lot closer to actual work than they want to be.
KC
-
I mean think about it ... you have to find a sharpie, a piece of cardboard must be cut, you have to find someone who knows how to spell to help you, a street corner must be found and you actually have to GO THERE when others who have jobs will be passing by.
Whew, I'm worn out just thinking of all that labor.

What is with her sick fascination with all things studio?
LFR, after you get behind your studio camera and get your studio apartment, here are a few more studio related suggestions.
A studio bed to sleep in.

A studio chair to sit in.

A visit to the Old Tucson Studios theme park.

LFR really needs to get those transcripts that allow for entry into the rarified studio circles or just give up on this crazy dream. One obsession--Dave--is enough.

89 and the house still isn't paid off? At that point, the only thing you should be paying is the annual property taxes.
I guess the nut doesn't fall far from the tree after all.

7. And this is just a drop in the bucket
of the huge human number of needs in our own country that are not be addressed in any real way.
No way should we could to Syria when people here can not even live decently and in dignity.
The government's job is now to provide you with dignity (and a private home). :whatever:
-
While all three are typically pitiful DUmmies, whose main skill sets are begging, mooching, and whining, the Grits one is a puzzle.
Needs money for various personal reasons, has none, but maintains two elderly cats who need medical care. It looks like a severe case of priority imprudence.
-
What about ditching the pets first and foremost--find them a home. It's not acceptable to go begging for money when you obviously have areas that can still be cut. High maintenance cats? Sorry, but you don't have the means with which to care for those animals. I get some people love animals and older people may find themselves lonely without them--well then volunteer at a pet shelter where you can have access to all the animal love you want. Maybe even foster pets where their care may be supplemented while in your home if loneliness is the issues, but keep expensive pets when one can not afford one's basic needs? Insanity...

His slacker son probably sucked him dry. This whiny DUmmy actually posted he was devastated when his 89 yr old father died because pops was his source of income. This asshat is in his early 50's and hasn't held a job in almost 20 years. Beyond disgusting.
All 3 of these people are able bodied and could get a job. The Lady Freedom chick HAD a job she quit, because she would prefer to beg. None of these 3 have children and only have to support themselves. Unbelievable they are held up as victims of poverty, this is completely self imposed by laziness and the expectation other should support them.

Who is giving "stewert" all of this money? I can't believe he has begged and received over a thousand dollars in just a week or so . . . and of course now, he wants more.
There is no dignity at the DUmp - here is another "I'm so poor, woe is me" thread by archae:

you'd think they'd have more pride than to talk about their SSDI and foodstamps and go to wishadoo and these places to beg some more.

Typical dummie, Kraven. If they would work 1/4 as hard at a job as they do at sucking other peoples money, or posting on the dump, they would be living pretty good.

2. Thank you for the info. That puts a lot in perspective. I just read that in Ohio
some idiot's proposing that able-bodied adults must work 20 hours a week (at jobs, training, or volunteer work) to qualify for food stamps. So, to get food stamps you'd have to be willing to work for $1 an hour.
:whatever:

I am amazed at how many retired people that I know that are still making house payments. Some are simply 2nd notes on a home to pay for renovations or bill consolidation but it still amazes me. I guess the low APR made it appealing for them to do so.

That was part of the welfare reform that President Clinton signed into law. :thatsright: President Obama lifted the work requirements due to the "tough job market."

I guess they sign up for the Wishadoo! scam because they can't write all that bullshit on a piece of cardboard.

Well RobJ... I'd like to see some data/stats on what the political affiliation is for the people that did this. I don't have it, so I will refrain from commenting about it. I suspect it would be very interesting.
First thing I ever did was to pay off the mortgage as fast as I could. Took 20 years, but I did it. No matter what happens I am gonna have a roof over my head.
-
Only in postmodern America is begging considered to be OK.
"Wishadoo" is a cancer on the American body.
I would rather die a free man than live a man who begged for a living.

That is what my family members did. There were Carter Presidency APRs of 18% then that encouraged the same.
Older family members built one part of the home at a time, living in the basement while they finished the upstairs, and then would add on as they had the money to do so. They never used loans. The lumber from my grandparent's home was from a large one room school house that they torn down.
The older Americans that I know now that owe on homes either choose to do so due to low APRs, having enough cash that they could pay off the home, or they got them self into a situation in which they found themselves upside down. The upside down thing happened a lot to people when they moved to Nevada with the hopes of selling their home and buying a smaller home when they retired.
A lot of people just don't value home ownership and figure they will either always have a mortgage or rent payment. Different priorities I guess. I don't think it has much to do with political affiliation.

3. Sounds like we're in much the same boat.
Social Security and food stamps. I'm in the process of re-qualifying, always an edifying and pleasant experience (yes, that was sarcasm). I was told to be available for a phone interview tomorrow, had to rearrange a couple things to accomodate that; God help you if you inconvenience them with a scheduling request. Won't know for a couple of weeks whether my benefit will increase, decrease, or stay the same.
Meanwhile, after rent and bills I typically have well less than $75 to cover OTC meds, incidentals, and food when the stamps run out (they typically stretch 2-3 weeks).
I'm in my third decade of dealing with this, and in all that time there has been one occasion wherein I was greeted by name. We no longer have case workers, we have technicians (further de-humanizing we clients). As a matter of course, we are treated with suspicion and impatience.
She then goes on with a msg for conservatives reading it, that her TV was given to her by friends, so she's not "rich" or anything. 3 decades!!!! It's not supposed to be a way of life, and where is your internet service coming from, anyway?

There was an article in the paper a few years ago about those guys that hang out at traffic intersections and beg for money. The more "industrious" ones are getting SSDI or some other sort of payment or disability and can rake in $30k or more a year with what the government gives them.
It was more than I was earning at the time.

Damn, that's got to be a hickey when they pay their quarterly taxes. No wonder they don't have any money ...
All kidding aside, wouldn't it be funny to donate to one of these people regularly for a year then hand them a 1099 on New Years Day.

Progress report as of Monday at noon:
Are Grits Groceries is now $113 of $1000, from six donors, a big jump.
stewert is now $670 of $2300, from seven donors.
The convenience store primitive is still stuck at $10 from one donor, her goal being $300.
I'm guessing donations to stewert are fake, perhaps made by himself.
-
I was struck by this, from page one:
But now stewert has added this: 9/8/13 UPDATE: $1000 has been raised, so another $1000 is needed. Ideally another $1300 could be raised since an unexpected insurance expense has arisen.
Just look at the entitlement mindset! "Yeah, guys, that's great and all, but I need more more more more more." He is beginning to be one of my more disliked DUmmies, and I'd never heard of him before.

Is all this money actual American greenbacks, or just DUmmy pledges?
When you go to exchange, you don't get many U.S. dollars for a DUmmy pledge dollar.

Not only does every DUmmy seem to have cats, but they're all old as the hills and in need of constant medications (the DUmmies AND the cats). A 16-year-old cat that needs medicine is what you call AN EXTREME LUXURY. Meanwhile, in every other thread on DU, they're telling us how much smarter they are than us and how we should be living. Each version, of course, seems to revolve around my money being given to them to keep cats alive.

If it is under $900 it is 100% OK to 1099 someone who "worked for food" as an independent contractor/

If you 1099 someone, it has to have the name, address, and Fed. I.D. number of both the payer and payee on it.
If the name and Fed. I.D. # (social security number) don't match up in their computers, they come after the payer to either provide the correct information or they can fine you (up to $1500) and pay the payee's taxes.

but beg for money to keep their twenty-year-old cats alive.

Hello,
Single Mom in between jobs needs around 600 to cover rent and bills, but any amount will help. It is a wonderful thing what Wishadoo is doing. I intend to help out as soon as I can, all the other kind folks I see here. God Bless each of you.
Not sure who "kha" is but grits is doing a little better - another DUmmie made this thread for her:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10023634523
As for the other two, what Freedum did was to take some day and count up six weeks to get to that Oct. 5 thing she's stuck on. I guess it never occurred to her that if she went during the week, she wouldn't need the motel on Sunday night but :mental:. "steve" is still demanding more donations on top of what he's already "raised":
Steve
Another $25.00 was donated today, so I just need about $1.200 more.
And btw folks, I do own a website called www.oreilly-sucks.com that has the #1 Google rank. So if anyone is interested in buying advertising, go to the website and contact me.

Please! Help!!!
I have a couple of renters who are not paying their rent because they both lost their jobs. The rent house needs some A/C work and a little bit of plumbing done to it so I can help this poor couple.
I think the A/C work is going to run about $3,500.00 and the plumber told me he could fix the commode for under $200. I need $3,700.00 to make repairs to my rent house so I can get it rented to some people who will actually pay me the rent.
If I can get that then I can use the rent money to pay for the new tires I so desperately need on the Lexus.
If you can't help with the repairs to my rental unit can you donate for the tires on the Lexus? $1,200 is all I need to cover that but I'll still need an additional $400.00 to help with the eviction of the renters who I just found out not only owe ME for the rent but their drug dealer is looking for them too. I'm afraid they're going to pay him before I get mine. PLEASE HELP!!!

Maybe one did. When scams like this show money raised, nearly all of it is pledges from sock puppets or confederates of the scammer, priming the pump to attract unsuspecting DUmmies to be fleeced.
This coordinated strategy was a key to how the fraudulent Andyscam actually did raise some money from the DUmp and other moonbat sites. It was all based on starting with a sob story, then having weeping, generous donors spring up from out of nowhere, shaming the moonbat population into adding their contributions to the apparently growing fund.
It may have gone on months longer, had coach not stepped in with a final solution.

What was pathetic about it--and I really mean "pathetic"--was the number of decent and civilized people, of the sob-sister sort, who actually made real donations so as to show they weren't being nasty, like the proponents of open and honest fund-raising who were "going after a dying man."
There weren't many, but there were a few, probably more than primitives who actually really gave a dime.

Inflation. :-)
The value of "the hard way" has almost doubled over 30 years.

Our award-winning nonprofit news site now has a radio show on a new public radio station! We urgently need equipment for recording on locations across our rural area for several reporters.
We can use small portable computers (tablet size, compatible with Audacity sound editing software is the best) with corded microphones such as an M-AUDIO producer USB microphone but we welcome ALL mikes and ALL portable computers. We can also use boom and lavalier mikes, and small portable recording devices for places where we can't carry a computer (such as on a hiking trail or walking along a parade route).
We've won 45 major journalism awards including investigative reporting, environmental and multicultural reporting including the Society of Professional Journalists Sol Price Award for Responsible Journalism. Please help us!
You can also make donations! if you don't have equipment; donations can be made at www.eastcountymagazine.or g; for equipment contact: editor@eastcountymagazine .org.

Excellent! Crazy Miriam is a new beggar on WishaDU!.
Finallly maybe she'll get some of that sound equipment nadin has been bitching about.
But I'm disappointed she didn't ask for any Jeep gas, another critical need.
Two questions, though:
Why is it that such an award-winning enterprise cannot afford a few hundred bucks for miscellaneous small equipment? I nadined "lavalier microphone", and they're easily available for under $20.
Does Crazy Miriam know about this, or did nutcase nadin send this embarrassing plea to WishaDU?

Digital panhandling is the next internet boom
“It’s a lot less embarrassing,†he says. “You don’t have to put yourself out there.†And unlike panhandling in Pensacola, using an app like Bitcoin Tapper won’t put him on the wrong side of the law. This past May, Pensacola — where Angle has lived since April — passed an ordinance that bans not only panhandling but camping on city property.
