But, I do think I said I don't know how you do it all and on top of that get a job, as in that is a lot not a slam at your time management, but a commendation of your time management.
I didn't say you were on Medical, but that might upset you to know people get dental, vision, meds and health care for nothing. Where I live I assure you the wide majority of those who get Medical are not undocumented, they are caucasion and vastly under 21 because OR has this thing called OR health plan it assures until 2 years ago anyone under get health care. Now it is a little harder.
I know you don't care about my heritage but I am a first generation Polish/American and many of my fathers family went to Auschwitz, so I know what intolerance is. When my Dad and his parents came, even after I was born (my father serving in the Marines) we feared the Gestapo we never went out after dark. I claim no sympathy for this only empathy for those who were harmed and those that will be. Fear is a horrible force I know I have it. regards and thanks for keep the lines of communication open.

I know that Duh doesn't' mean you don't believe me, it is when you say you refuse to believe me that I take it to mean you don't believe me.
I posted that it took us 6 months to find a job any job even a minimum wage job you replied in post 308 and said "I refuse to believe if someone really wants a job and is willing to work for min. wage and or less then they made at previous job they won't find one." I replied in post 310 "You can refuse to believe that someone couldn't find a minimum wage job, but in 6 months of applying daily to multiple places do you know how many jobs I was offered ZERO." and you replied to me in post 314 "I can and do;" You went on to tells us about your sisters good luck finding a job. Well good for her, I am glad she was lucky but not everyone is that lucky. So lets be clear my application said I would do anything any day any time and that I would be happy to accept minimum wage to do it.

As for 1600 and Medical, I don't get free medical, even when my husband was out of work we didn't qualify because he had made to much too recently. 1600 doesn't sound like a lot to live on at all actually I was just saying you get upset with me and post about me on my page asking me to explain how I manage my time as though you are my parent or something, please. Then you post on other peoples boards saying you are upset at how I manage my money and I was trying to make ends meet on less than you. Instead of just assuming things about me and my family, I would recommend either taking the time to get to know me or at least stop waisting your time and move on

OK, it always helps to understand more. $1600.00 may sound like a lot. With a few exceptions, neither of us have drug coverage meds between two around $200.00. My husband was hurt on the job, he has no medical insurance until 1/2011. We didn't expect his injury so we have all the bills we did before. I got rid of all my snakes because, no money to keep them up, and health reasons. DUH doesn't mean I don't believe you it was rude but not that I don't believe you. We all have issues, mine is Medical I hate it. As I see it right or wrong it is people who don't work getting free health care. I know this is wrong of me, what can I say. It is my opinion, and I know not all people on Medical are non-workers.
I really don't know why I am trying to explain myself to you either, I just think sometimes if we know where people are coming from (emotionally) it can help understand them. We don't have to like each other, but I would rather try to be civil in the future.

I was an accountant before I had kids. I left that position when I had kids, but I remain fully qualified to continue in the accounting profession, should I need to, so yes I consider my self an educated professional. I did leave that job when I became a mom, and I home school my kids now while they are young. Once they go to school when they are older I would like to have a career change and teach rather than doing accounting so I am also in school. It really is none of your business how I manage my time, and if you are on some sort of witch hunt trying to find inconsistencies you are better off looking elsewhere. You have already been rude to me with Duh and straight up said you don't believe me so I see no real reason to spend my time explaining myself to you. I have meet several people from here in person, and I'm sure that if I really need to prove my credential I can, but to be quite honest I am not willing to, for the same reasons that I don't have to explain to you how I mange my time. I don't care what your heritage is, I don't even know what your heritage is, and my issues are not with race, ethnicity, or foreigners. My issues is with respecting the laws of this country. And of course taking care of the people who are here rightfully before we worry about the people who are here illegally. I am pro immigration, but only for the legal kind.

Dinah, I don't know you but I know people like you. You say you are an educated professional, yet your bio says you are a stay at home MOM and you home school. It also says you are going to school for education. I don't get it, do you have time to work with two kids and home schooling and your own schooling. This whole issue needs accountability and responsiblity and stop blaming others. I take it very personnel as I was one of those blamed for my heritage and demeaned it was awful, I didn't have a country they could send me back to only a heritage.

Merry Christmas fellow Floridian. Hope to meet ya soon.

Hey everyone, I just wanted to let ya'll know that I am still working on figuring out this site and how everything works. For example I am not totally sure where this message will be displayed or if anyone else will even be able to see it, I am just trying out this function. Another example is rep points, I can see that some people have given me rep points, but I don't really know what that means. I assume it is good because it is green and everyone has nice comments but I am just guessing. I also don't know all of the etiquette and such yet for example am I supposed to pm those people to thank them for being so nice? Or does that make me like a stalker? Anyways hopefully this will post on my profile somewhere so people can see it and at least know that I am working on figuring it all out and I appreciate ya'lls patience.
