36. there's no "psychoanalysis". It's called personal observation.
I know a lot of poor people. I live in a poor area. For years I worked in social services with folks who were poor. I've been poor.
Let me tell you a little story: I have a friend who this winter was burning her kitchen cabinets to stay warm. She's a bright, lovely woman with 3 disabled children who is disabled herself. She worked like a dog when she was able to. She fell through the cracks. Her brother, who was a disabled vet, died last fall and she depended on his income to get by- to pay the mortgage on her house. Something went wrong with her benefits as well. Her car died. Her electricity was turned off. Yes, she thinks about money a lot. Being desperate will do that. And I'll tell you something else, mock me if you wish. The first thing I did when I came into some money, was take her out grocery shopping (well, actually the first thing I did was buy my son a fitness club membership that he'd been hankering for). It was a great pleasure to do this for someone who has always been so kind to me- giving me rides when I didn't have a car, bringing me flowers from her garden, etc.
I am glad that I've experienced being poor- even if it was a weird kind of poverty. It was damn real enough that I qualified for food stamps. The whole experience has given me a much greater understanding of what being poor does to your spirit, of how it burdens you each and every day.
Thank you for deleting your post and recognizing that you wrote it because you dislike me.
It's not a trust, so Tommy ought to stay close.

I don`t believe any utility is allowed to end service in the middle of winter due to lack of payment.
Three disabled kids,a disabled husband and disabled herself?
Suuuuuuure. ::)

A crippled, wallduded waitress with a pain pill addiction may not be impoverished at the moment, but it's not far in the future.
If she lives.

Btw...Eva is a rode hard,put away wet,stoned out brainless DUmp loser.
This is all probably a lunatic story her demented "mind" has conjured up for whatever reasons as just a couple weeks ago she was talking about living on food stamps.
-
Seems like all the DUmmies are poor.
Never saw so many people on food stamps and disability while still paying off college loans.

Disabled woman can work a flower garden but can't grow something to eat????????????
Cali buys son a 'fitness membership'......I had one for years.....IT WAS CALLED A "JOB."

sorry - her mom died just last spring - search the name "Teichner". It doesn't say any specific amount.

All the DUmmies retirement plans seem to hinge on the death of a relative and nothing else.

Why in the hell would someone burn their kitchen cabinets for heat instead of just looking for junk/discarded furniture at dump sites? Heck, I would even go look for wood somewhere.
-
LOL, this is a "friend" of yours and you allowed her to burn her own cabinets to stay warm. Yeah, sounds legit. Hey Cali, how about next time driving her ass to the woods? She can get all the damn wood for a fire just laying on the damn ground. But I'm sureeeee, this story is totally legit. :whatever:
-
One other thing, depending on the cabinets, they could be extremely toxic. A ton of them aren't even real wood these days, but melamine.

Consider, this is a DUmmie calling the person burning their cabinets "disabled". That person might just be suffering from what we refer to as "fat, dumb and lazy". As a result of that condition that person might not have had the ability to realize that finding junk to burn would be a better option that one's own cabinets.

This is no lie and was quite common during my childhood. Share croppers would live in a shack in the middle of a farm field. They would pull the tar paper and wood off the outside of their houses up as far as they could reach to burn.....and then complain about how cold their houses were and how the wind blew right through them. The woods and free wood would be only a short distance away.
Is cali's friend a share cropper?

What the hell is called poor today-------My day no one was poor, when we needed money, we just went to work for it.
Didn't matter how we agumented our jobs income, we found a way with the help of the comunity. Cops would close an eye on the poor out there Jack Lighting deer to sell to out of state hunters that spent their weekends in the bars, strap the deer to the hood of their car and head home to family they had been hunting.
$200.00 bucks for each deer. Pay check for a factory worker was $50.00 a week back then.
The poor, darn but for a long time I must have been the poor but didn't know it. We had a TV, bought from the sale of a deer, a roof over our head, heat in the winter, food on the table, and the Church bargen sales for all our clothing. A guift from the hunting.
No way we were poor, we found a way to keep out of what today is called poor. No welfare back then no state benifits or federal benifits, just us trying everything we could to bring in money and we did so.

A DUmmy gradually burning his home for warmth in winter reminds me of a Stephen King story, "Survivor Type".
-
I know that story, GOBUCKS. Horrific, wasn't it?
She's told this cabinet story before. Wouldn't the people asphyxiate themselves, just burning furniture? It's just over the top. And yeah, the finishes would be very toxic. Maybe they won a Darwin award.
-
The neighbor was probably a primitive. Thus, they were burning the cabinets FOR the fumes.

No one in America is poor unless they wish to be so.
Those living on the streets or in homeless arears in tents, they are not poor when one compaires them to the rest of the world.
They can get 2 meals a day from the food kitchens, free medical care from the free clinics, what the heck plenty go dumpster diving outside resturents who throw away perfectally good food that is safe to eat.
Why do these people consider themselves poor ?
People with children that feel they are poor, it is up to them to get off their Ass and not expect family and the government to do for what they they should be doing to suport them or family.
Exceptions are our Vets that come home unable to work, however we have people that find a way to get disability that is really odd, that never served their country.
A heart problem or a bad injury to the back, ok I can see that but I have seen people that worked in an office for 6 or so years go out on a problen with their wrist due to using a PC. Most are 5+ years from retirement at 62 and just want to ride the train to full SS.
Then we have the people that that work their butts off until retirement age, 40 years of service, they find out the slackers with only 25 years are getting as much if not more then they do, holding a second job and living life up.

Guess what some of the earliest steamships did when they ran out of coal to fire the boilers ? I'm glad I wasn't on any of those ships. When men were made of iron. And ships of wood. That made it a bit more convenient.

Free pallets signs are everywhere near the big box stores and as a bonus the wood is already dry. Zero bongs.

Yeah, but you have to bust them up and that's to much work for a DUmmie.
I would have said cut them up but DUmmies shouldn't be around sharp objects.....wait a minute, I've changed my mind. I'll make an exception and loan DUmmies my sharpest axe even though I know I won't get it back.

That's very generous of you. I'd be willing to loan them my chainsaw, but first I need to disable the chain brake.

I see we're thinking alike.... :lmao:

Yeah, this reminded me of those stories of people reduced to having to eat the beans out of furniture. They didn't realize they weren't really beans.

I planted some. Now my garden is full of furniture.
But at least I can burn that to keep the house warm.
