If you live in the city can you raise food? There were places called Victory gardens on vacant lots during the 2nd World War, would you be willing to try that again? I know there are some cities that are doing this I've seen it...

stejhas My husband and I aren't able to grow a garden in our yard either because it is VERY small and we have 2 dogs and 2 kids.... we are thinking next year about offering someone 1/2 of everything we grow if they let us use a spot in their yard. Maybe you and...

My step-dad, who is in his 60's, was telling a racial joke about U.S. President-elect Obama the other day... The 'joke' was something like this, "I wonder where Pres. Obama is going to live" - our response was, obviously, "well,...

stejhas LOL.. That's cool... I call him Grandpa too since that's what my kids know him to be! LOL You have a good point, and I agree the worst part was that my daughter was obviously worried about where Obama would live! Kind of funny, but then again, not so much.......

I am so angry right now.... My husband's business of 10+years failed at the beginning of December, so we have been doing nothing all month but looking for jobs, applying and waiting (hoping) to hear back. Needless to say this...

stejhas I think this 'abuse' of the system is what frustrates me the most... I have never gotten assistance before, and I'm not asking for much --- I just wish someone could be there for average, hard-working families when they start to crumble. I'm sorry that your...

stejhas I'm sure we'll figure it all out. We've never been rich, but we've never had to do without either... all this is new to me and I am clueless about all the programs out there that help struggling families. I guess I'm going to have to let the secret out of...

stejhas Those are all good suggestions. I had never thought of posted a WANTED add... I might have to do that. I heard earlier today that a church in the area has a food pantry one Wednesday a month where we can buy some groceries for 25 cents a pound... the next one...

stejhas Thanks for the support... I have been searching for somewhere else to turn. So far I have not found anything ON Christmas Day. (A lot of the churches held their free meals yesterday) I'm not trying to be too picky, but I'm determined to find a way to make...

stejhas It's a shame how truly unjust the government programs really are.... having never been in a really "needy" situation before, I had NO CLUE I would feel so let down - just as you were. The only thing I can take from this whole experience is that the government...

stejhas Thanks for the support. I agree that spending time with the family is the most important thing about the holiday. I'm so glad that even though we have little else, we still do have each other - and that's the important part. We have been living off the most...

stejhas I agree that the married man should be left alone. It's obvious he doesn't care about you in the way that you care for him because HE IS STILL MARRIED! NEVER get involved with a man that claims to love you, but remains married to someone else!!!! You were...

stejhas TO THE BOTH OF YOU.... I am so sorry. I cannot imagine being in your position. I think feeling grief is the natural and human feeling to have. If I were in your positions, I would feel obligated to express my feelings to my loved one... let him know that I am...

stejhas Congrats! I hope things work out as good for you as they did for us.... without my internet dating experience I KNOW I would have never dated a country boy... but I sure am glad I gave in and went out with him... Best thing that even happened to me! ;)

stejhas Sad, sad, sad.... time for us to put the company to the side and find the husband a J-O-B.... wow... that's certainly going to be a different kind of lifestyle for us!

stejhas yeah, I had a feeling this was going to be happening everywhere. Basically all of our friends are in the industry and it's hard to see everyone we know struggling to find something to do for work. I used to be the book-keeper for the company, but lately all...
