I think most figured she wouldn’t be able to handle it. But I have to commend her for bringing awareness to the problem. It got us taking about it.

Use it because you should have had some help when you badly needed it.On a related, but very random note..
When I ran out of unemployment, found out that my lease was up this June without renewal and a bunch of other stuff, I went online and applied for every benefit available. I just wanted to be able to pay the rent. I was denied.
So today, I come home from work, open the mail and there is a SNAP card in there. (Food Stamps) What?
I called the number on the back hoping to speak with someone, thinking that it was in error. I never got a person, just typed numbers in, then checked the balance on the thing. Over 200 bucks for food.
Now what? I will wait till Monday and call them back and try to get a real live person. I have been eating PB&j's and noodles for a month. Now I have a job, and I get this. I sure would like to back-use it... and stock freezer but that is not right. Or probably not legal. But god, I would love some meat. I just got paid for the first time yesterday and it is not even cleared yet.
I am employed and moving to another state.
Why can you not use this? Just because of bureaucratic red tape it took so long to make it to you that now you are in better circumstances.On a related, but very random note..

Sweetheart, just use it and drive home from the grocery store laughing all the way! You DESERVE this little windfall after all you're gone/been thru. If you get another one in the mail, then you should call and send that one back, but this is yours. Red tape is a swamp that takes forever to get out of and obviously this 'gift' is late coming for you. Enjoy it!!I would feel wrong doing it, and think that I would get in trouble some how. But it would be great to have some stuff for the freezer. I dunno..
I don't want to abuse the system, but maybe this one time? Then call them. Oh, hell, I don't know.
Or you could send it to Gwenyth, she obviously could use it......I would feel wrong doing it, and think that I would get in trouble some how. But it would be great to have some stuff for the freezer. I dunno..

That is not abusing the system. Consider it backpay.I would feel wrong doing it, and think that I would get in trouble some how. But it would be great to have some stuff for the freezer. I dunno..

I love you!It's a credit card looking thing. It came with a schedule that has months on it and when money is deposited.. Looks to be an ongoing thing that I will stop. After this.
Get yourself a prime rib steak...potato for baking and a lovely dessert.Yeah, I have not seen any money yet from the job, paid every two weeks. Ok, I am gonna slink out and stock up,
