Having just received thousands in the last couple of months I just…..I don’t know. If Art is genuinely in this much pain constantly and genuinely genuinely cannot work……but some of the things they say…..they clearly cannot manage money and have no energy to write but have all the time in the world to constantly post memes on Facebook about the rich (or let’s be honest, anyone who works or just has money because they work). 

Has Art ever said whether they have been diagnosed with ADHD? There are elements of the planning and procrastination that sound like they could fit into that spectrum.

And then I look at the amount of energy invested in getting money to move, along with the (unmentioned) holiday in the middle, and well, I wonder as well.

Foodstamps are now SNAP and come in the form of EBT (debit card).  I wonder how long it took them to get to the office to handle that after they arrived.  It shouldn't be complex for them after all this time on SSI.   They are indeed just like the old time grifters just in modern online form.  There's always an excuse.  I'm dealing with much, much, much more complex medical issues than they are at the moment and yet....here I am. 

My neigbor asked me how many prescriptions I'm needing to keep straight and I don't even know that.  I do know which one I need to get refilled next which is what is important.  One doctor appointment and two or three prescriptions are keeping them from writing?  That's mere child's play.  All they do is not plan, not organize, deflect, make excuses and beg.  I'd be so embarrassed.  

They can use online and the phone, and many only have their phone to complete applications (services, jobs, etc. not that they're applying for jobs..God forbid!)...so many remote, WFH options still, but that would involve... work! exPOS would talk to a human and use the phone for EBT renewal, etc.

I would love more money, but not a grifter and I work. I've been thru layoffs, etc. Getting another job after he was out of the house, on top of recovering from and dealing with that and legal shit to try and stay safe, was one of the hardest things. But I did it. Sometimes things suck azz but you try and push thru. It's hard as fuck, too! and I was the main "provider."

*One of my parents used a checklist for all their meds. They needed to to stay organized and for services follow up. Another uses a pill organizer. Some people use apps ... personally, with the way things are going I wouldn't track any of that through an app! Fkn ridiculous 

They're a lot more likely to suffer some kind of consequences for inappropriate behavior in the US than abroad if they're careful about the countries they pick, I suspect.  Things like supply appropriation aren't okay anywhere but it's probably not worth the time of the Bahama's government to find them in the US and go after them, for example.

Jinger's has always been one of my favorites and you're right, it's the "royal" look of it.

Jesus Mehitabel Christ--$5K to hang with a couple of D-list celebrities?

It's about ensuring the "wrong element" doesn't show up. Christianity used to be a religion that advocated for the poor. Now it's only interested in the elites.
