My daughter has been wearing the same clothes for two years... (Hopefully she at least bathes and washes her clothes)
Some of them are falling apart. She also has used cookware from Salvation Army. It's the same for her furniture. My grandson is out of his jeans. He needs new ones. My other grandchild is out of his coat and his clothes are getting tight. My son needs new shoes. (I thought the SA was forbidden for the DUmmies due to their stance on LGBT)
Money is tight. We don't have a lot. (Prepare for even less, between deficit spending, taxes, and growing government programs like welfare, you will be howling in four years)
Black Friday we will have two paychecks and the sales on that day offer what my family needs. (Stores offer sales all the time, you need to shop around more, oh wait, let me guess you are boycotting some evil corporate store because some whack job at the DUmp told you too.)
So, yes...I am shopping on black Friday because we will have the money. This will be their Christmas. (Are you going to spend some of it at *gasp* Walmart? Always low prices, always)
There will be no high ticket items or electronics like iPads, computers or TV's. This will be a shopping day to fill my family's needs. (At least you have one priority correct)
Look down on me still? Fine. I don't care, but keep in mind who you are condeming when you look down on the morons who venture out on black Friday to shop. (I look down on you because you are a DUmmy)
Oh, my grandchildren might get 1 toy a piece under the tree...just more crap they don't need...right? (That depends on the toy now doesn't it.)
If she thinks her money is tight now, just wait until she sees what it will buy four years from now.

Grandma, aka Cyanide spends enough time posting at the DUmp. Maybe she could get a part time job to help supplement her meager income. Nah, who would hire a bitter, dysfunctional, barking moonbat, besides it is much easier to sit on your *ss and complain than to try and improve your situation. :fuelfire:

47. The Legacy of Reaganomics and the George W. Bush Tax Cuts
There is no question that the republican Party is 100% responsible for your problem. We MUST institute progressive economic policies so we all can afford the basics and some of the small luxuries. Wealth Tax Reform is our next main focus of legislation and judicial reform to concentrate on.
Wow, just wow. Ban absolves her of any personal responsibility with a magic way of his wand. Don't have money, don't have a job, don't have a pot to piss in, well worry no more it is all the Republican party's fault. :rotf:

How can this be? I thought the economic genius of 0bama has brought instant prosperity to everyone. Or is that kind of like 0bamacare where we promise all the good stuff will come tomorrow? So maybe it is the second term when everything starts going well.

All the Black Friday ads are out - or practically all of them. http://bfads.net/

She can surely go to Goodwill and get way more clothing and toys than any Black Friday deal right?
-
What strikes me as odd is that she says her daughter buys cookware and furniture at the SA, but her grandchildren don't have clothes that fit. The SA's around here are full of clothes, especially in children's sizes, and a good portion of them are in good shape. I've bought jeans with the tags still on them at thrift stores.
Another source for a coat for the grandson: Ebay: Boy Coat (http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313&_nkw=boy+coat&_sacat=0&_from=R40)

No matter if this is a bouncy I am very proud that I can find a job and keep it. I can't imagine not providing for my kids.
-
Why wait until Black Friday and give your money to the most evil Walmart? You can go to a local thrift store, Habitat Restore anytime and buy completely serviceable, even fashionable clothing, toys in good repair, dishes, cookware, linens, so on. I shop thrift stores regularly and save loads of money. I think someone just wants an excuse to be out and about on BF.

I don't care at all. Suffer. OWN IT.

Almost one week out of the Obama euphoria and the sob stories begin. The closer it gets to Christmas the more poor some will become.
I don't want to hear it. You voted for Obama Claus, write him a list and ask him to bring you free stuff.
You DUmbasses voted for me and mine to suffer, I don't give a damn about you.
BTW, you can shop online at some of the top stores and get WAY better deals without leaving the comfort of your home. There, I threw an Obama crumb. :-)
-
Predictably, the thread degenerates into a Poor War. It's only just begun, DUmmies. Also, nobody's hiring an Obama Voter. They can be spotted a mile away.

Yep was thinking the same thing, Gina. I got a buttload of sweaters recently at the Salvation ARmy since :-), well, I wanted some 'new to me' ones. I got several and my bill for that a great pair of boots and two pairs of jeans and a pair of dresspants was about 30 bucks. I get most of my teen daughters clothes from Plato's Closet. She got two great pairs of boots for 20 bucks.
Color me skeptical, but I see parents all the time who spend any extra money on themselves and let their kids walk around in rags. I'd have to know her personally, especially with a story coming second hand from a dummie, to believe it's really a hard luck case. I also notice gram and gramps didn't do anything extraordinary to help either--well like maybe shutting internet down for a couple of months to buy the kids cloths if its really that tight.
My budget doesn't sound as tight as they make theirs sounds and I won't be going out on black friday. Even with sales, there is too much temptation to overspend.
One more thing, where is daddy of these kids? Probably another guy who was happy to let the government do his job and the woman goes right along with it and spreads them wide. Our society is sick anymore. Can't even see it's own self-fulfilling prophecies.

Alert the media.
On November 11, 2012, a DUmmy told the truth for the 1st time.

Ok another thing, I have clothes older then 2 years too. Is that such a tragedy? We have seasons here and there is no reason I can't wear a sweater I wear last year the next since chances are it's gotten very little wear since I have a few of them. I'm not seeing the problem with 2 years. Hell, I still have a pair of mom jeans with belt loops big enough for those wide belts we wore in the 80's/90's...not that I ever wear them, just for nostalgia purposes :-)

I have a cute black skirt that I bought when I was in the navy. I bought it at the exchange. It still fits and still looks brand new. I wear it A LOT. So it is about 13 years old.

Yep, I have a number of items I have had for years. Sometimes I do tire of them or notice I don't wear them all that much or they do wear out. So I get rid of those things that are worn and then see if there is anything my teen daughter wants(permanently since she's in my closet anyway :hammer:) before I donate. I"m not sure the disconnect on their part. Either she's embellishing or she's bemoaning her daughter can't buy new things. Sorry, but I can't cry over that. Clothes are clothes, shoes are shoes, coats are coats. If a child has one on his back and it happens to be gently used, it's not a tragedy. So we have snobs or bullshitters...both? :-)

Because Black Friday ads are leaked WEEKS before Black Friday comes. I have seen ads to hundreds of stores already. I'm going to Kohl's because they have the best clothing deals.

Yep a lot are. With websites getting the sales ads directly from the printers most retailers gave up and post them on their own websites these days. Some have unadvertised specials to lure in the customers.
-
BTW DUmmies, my whole house is 90-95% furnished and decorated from thrift stores, garage sales, flea markets, craigslist and store clearances. If we find something decent to wear we''ll get that too. There's not a damn thing wrong with living within your means and getting nice stuff in the process. The 3 of us do have jobs though so that might be why we can be choosy and wait to find quality.

Punish, with criminal sanctions, businesses who close down or reduce FT jobs
A lot of millionaires and billionaires who refuse to pay the reduced health care costs that Obamacare would provide are closing their businesses, most for spite. A lot of progressives and other workers are getting the shaft because of this greed for business owners who want to take their money and shove it into banks in the Cayman Islands. As more and more of these greedy bastards close their doors and run away from the problems that THEY caused through their republicanist greed, the entire unemployment situation will blow up in many cities.
Another problem is that many businesses, to get out of paying for Obamacare, will opt to only hire workers for less than 30 hours a week, which is the threshold for the trigger. This means they will be reducing the number of job hours for individuals, and take away their benefits that they've had for decades.
President Obama needs to create a Secretary of Business, whose FIRST order of business it to create a regulation to do two things on an IMMEDIATE basis:
1. Create a heavy fine or criminal violation for reducing the number of employees just to make sure they don't have to comply with Obamacare requirements. This fine should be severe enough so that committing a violation will have a detrimental effect on the business if the law is vioated.
2. Create a heavy fine for reducing the hours of existing employees. Create a mandatory ratio that businesses must adhere to, such as no more than one part-time employee for every full-time employee. This will reduce the amount of hour-slashing that will no doubt occur.
3. Make these fines retroactive to the beginning of 2011, which is the earliest that such a law can be constitutionally enforced.
In addition, states should consider fining companies who leave the state to reestablish in another state. Strict monitoring must be done for the business ownership so they don't skirt rules. This will be hard to enforce, but if the laws are in place, they will be put on notice so there will be a lot more compliance.
These steps will be necessary in the coming months, so they should be instituted as SOON as POSSIBLE, otherwise more workers will lose their jobs.

I do Kohls online. Much bigger selection & same sales as in-store. Everytime I order online, I get 15% off my next purchase plus Kohl's cash. If you order anything before midnight Wed., use this code: fallinsale for 15% off. :-)

I love Kohl's online for the huge clearance selections. I don't think I have ever bought anything at regular price from their website. Very rarely do I buy something at regular price in store too. My daughter needs some new winter clothes. We always get an abundance of summer clothes at the end of September from family. We try to tell them it's not 100+ degrees all year round here, but nobody ever listens.

3. unworkable
You can't micromanage the hiring policies of businesses. Many of them are on razor thin margins and they have to have the ability to make their own decisions on employment or they won't form businesses in the first place.
It is unfortunate that Obama went with this convoluted plan based on employment rather than single payer, not based on employment.
Well buddy you had your chance to repeal, but you guys voted for 0bama anyway.

Solution for that ridiculous idea is to fire everybody for cause, because I'm sure that nearly every employee has gone online during company time, used company e-mail for personal e-mail, or broken some minor rule, and have them reapply for the new 30 hour a week jobs. Kind of cruel to those who don't get rehired, since I'm pretty sure that you don't get unemployment if you are fired for cause in most states, but it would be a work around for that suggestion.

I go to the Salvation Army in Portsmouth Rt1. ALL the time...Senior citizen discounts on Tuesdays. bundle up mum, and here we go.....This particular store color codes all their clothes. They have different color tags, and they will choose two colors at random, and those are 50% off...

maybe since business must pay employees even if they have no money the enlightened democrats will allow them to print employee paychecks when they go bankrupt.

don't I know it...I wear it to actually cinch the waist around a larger/longer blouse and my teenage daughter wears them now at waist level too. I lost quite a bit of weight over the last several years so I have newer things, but that was mostly because I needed clothes that fit me better. Like you, I seem to pick things out that I can wear for years. I've noticed jean trends and generally you should be able to get a good 6-10 years out of a pair of jeans(style wise) before the overall style changes--like it went from high waist to lower waist. High waist was in for a decade or better. Low waist has been in for several years now. No reason to throw something out like that. I have a hard time parting with old clothes in good shape too. If I like the pattern they will often become a purse or satchel or something :-)

Saw a comment on that Toledo Blade site:
Marshawn Hogans
I find this funny that once you cut into entitlements it is always doom and gloom. When Americans REALLY suffer i.e Sandy, they are considered resilient and can bounce back. Average Americans went through some kind of loss through the recession and have bounced back in some kind of way. Are you saying $50.00 dollars will kill people? I believe it will change their spending habits yes. Sometimes that is needed. The problem is this. There is no proof that entitlement spending corrects poverty. It only increases it. It causes dependency among low income families. It is worse under Obama's Administration by removing the "will to work" policies that Clinton instilled in the welfare program during his administration. The very fact that Democrats would be willing to increase taxes during an unsettled economy is beyond my belief and studies of economics. The fact is this. If we increase taxes, this will not help the situation. Democrats always find new ways to spend it instead of hitting the root cause for it. You can blame Republicans for being greedy all you want but the real problem is spending. I say give the Democrats what they want to prove a point. True conservatives will know what to do with their money once this happens. We can make money from the move. Once the troops that they rallied begin to fall a part and see that choosing a Prom King was not such a good idea, then they will be willing to listen to conservative solutions. I love my country and would not want to see people fall. But sometimes you have to offer tough love like we do our children and let them experience failure at its best.
What did I tell you guys about what I've been seeing here lately. Hoping this is the new trend!

Ok, I said this on our facebook site, but I'll say it here. This actually has nothing to do with the election; it would have went down either way:
What’s called the “standard utility allowance†— the amount deducted from a person’s income when the state determines his or her eligibility for the food stamp program — will decrease by $166 for 2013, translating to about $50 less per household in food assistance. State Job and Family Services officials tried to appeal the change to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which oversees the food stamp program, officially known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, but the USDA denied the request.
*cut*
Because of the way the federal government calculates utility expenses for people receiving the benefit, a mild winter nationwide last year, and a lower price for natural gas, many families could experience a significant cut in aid, those familiar with the program say
This changes yearly from how I understand it and it's going down due to the mild winter last year in many northern states which brought the average utility cost down. What probably is not being addressed is why didn't any of these folks hedge the extra $ they saved on utilities for a rainy day when things changed so 50 bucks a month doesn't hurt. And btw that might hurt for someone on the line of the program who is a working person, middle income with children who is stretching and throwing in a little to maybe 150 or 200 a month they get to help supplement their working income, but taking 50 bucks away from a non working person who gets 600 a month with 3 kids is not going to make a dent. That's WAY more then a family that size needs for food so in that range we probably are going to cut down on some fraud, obesity, or see what the scumbags with the kids are really made of when the kids go without because they still sell what's leftover on the side for other crap. Hell I'd rather give 200 bucks to every working poor a month who are making the damn effort to help with food(that's a modest amount for a family of 4 or 5) instead of 600 to some lazy Jerry Springer watching heffer with a few brats who have zero guidance. But I'm digressing here--it's the perpetually lazy who piss me off, not the people trying to bridge the gap with changing life circumstances or the *REAL* disabled but that's another rant for another day :rant:
This caught my eye though:
The average food-stamp recipient receives $138 per person, per month, according to state statistics
If this is the case, that means the average person receiving food stamps is either a) not working or b) working in the neighborhood of 10-20 hours a week at minimum wage. I wish we would weed out the cases of the perpetually lazy who we continue to feed.

"The way to crush the bourgeoisie is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation."

Like good old Vlad, Obama is not a fan of the middle class.
