I hate whining, but man, I am stressed beyond belief.
Between this election, having just ended my seasonal job, some health issues and no insurance, having no money to cover the heating costs, I am on the verge of a good melt down. Looks like we're gonna have to cut cable (maybe even internet), the gym and a few other things in order to make it through the winter.

Anyone else starting to feel like you're losing it?

10. Maybe it will comfort you to know you have company
 My business is out of business so not only have I lost a job and my income but I've lost a dream I built too. Then there's the matter of health insurance. I couldn't afford my premiums on unemployment so my coverage expired. The state has some pretend, bullshit insurance for low income individuals but denied me coverage because my unemployment income is considered too much to qualify.

21. Have you checked the New Hampshire fuel/heating assistance program?
 http://www.nh.gov/oep/programs/fuelassistance/index.htm

On note: The cutoff for two people families is $2,129 per month income. That's hella low, so I don't know if this would help you at all.

22. We had to give last years income and we made too much.
 I just saw Carol Shea Porter on Sunday and she said that they readjusted the income eligibility so I will try again. Thing is, we may need to move from here because we can only get green wood and our wood stove is crap.

27. Yep. Personal health problems, family health problems...
 money problems, dog health problems, all my plumbing fixtures needing to be repaired at once, the election, etc.

I'm sorry you are going through all this crap.

It sometimes helps to "embrace" your problems...make them part of you, accept them, and do the best you can to minimize them. I know that sounds like psychobabble, but it really can help.

Hang in there...it WILL get better.

29. I've been out of work for months,
I've never had cable in my whole life, I just made an arrangement with the power company I don't know if I'll be able to keep, and my unemployment compensation has run out. And I don't have health insurance but I have to spend money on car insurance.

So graywarrior chose not to save any money from his/her seasonal job and chose to spend it on a number of non-essentials and now is whining?  My sympathy meter is broken.

Why is the aged Amazon primitive using a gym for exercise and stuff?

If the aged Amazon primitive actually lives out in the country, what's to stop her from chopping her own firewood?

Unlike with a gym, surely chopping firewood wouldn't involve paying monthly fees or dues.

And the aged Amazon primitive could cut her heating bills in half, warming herself first by chopping the wood, and then by burning the wood.

Primitives don't ever seem to think outside the box.

And what a very little tiny box it is.

As I have stated before - why is it that 99% of the DUmmys are either on unemployment, jobless, have "health" problems or are just psychologically ****ed up?
Do we see a pattern here?

Put the bong down, move out of mommie's basement and get a fracking job DUmmys!

1.)  DUmmies are too stupid to run a business .... and it shows.

2.)  Sounds like DaveTheWave is simply doing what progressives do .... staying ahead of the curve.  Should the 'O' get elected its business would have died anyway so ..... it is leading the way! 

Congratulations DaveTheWave!

The idea of a DUmmy operating a successful business is indeed a dream.

Incidentally, I am surprised that a self-employed individual, regardless of how stupid he is, can run his business into the ground and then claim unemployment compensation.

I am fortunate in never having been unemployed, from the day of my college graduation many years ago until my recent retirement, so I don't know for sure, but I thought unemployment compensation was reserved for people fired or laid off by an employer.

If the Crips moved in and forced DUmmy DaveTheWave off the corner where he peddled weed, can he then claim unemployment compensation from the state? I know it was his dream corner and all, but I'm still surprised he can make a claim on the state. Unless it's Coliformia or Massachusetts.

That's the way it is where I live......but then DUmmie is in a blue socialist state that takes care of the lay-ZZZZZZ's.

I grew up on a dairy farm that had run its course and was just existing because.
We couldn`t afford crap,I remember days of looking at a magazine in a store that cost a 1.50 and telling myself that it just couldn`t be afforded.
We had a garden and ate potatos every day,I can show pictures of us wearing patched together rags of clothes.
There was one "good" pair of pants to wear and got laughed at because mom washed them every afternoon so I could wear them the next day to school.
These dumb **** assholes that cry poverty and whine about how tough life is while having all the benefits and good things life in the USA has provided can drop effing dead.

My father was born in 1905,he lived through the depression and made his way through.
He detested FDRs policies and even though we disagreed on much regarding whether the farm was a viable operation thank God he taught me what was right and how to be (I hope I am anyways).
He also taught that liberalism may feel good to the takers and the jealous but it just isn`t right and never will be.

Yeah, but it might help graywarrior keep his cable internet and his gym membership. Doesn't that make you feel all warm inside?

Fresh out of sorry here, graywarrior.  My spouse and I make pretty good money, but we still see a gym membership as a luxury, not a necessity.  Exercise is free and widely available.

Especially if one lives in rural New England and there's a whole lot of firewood (even if green, it burns) around.

This is what gets me about these "roughing it" primitives, the primitives who moved to Vermont or rural Oklahoma or rural Washington, with this notion that they would live life the "old" way, the way that used fewer resources.

And then these same primitives go out and buy electric wood-choppers, microwave ovens, electric mixers, washing machines, personal computers and the internet, cellular telephones, whatnot, as if Joe and Sadie in a sod house back in 1888 had such things too.

I dunno why these primitives aren't on the payroll at Disneyland or some other fantasy park.
