In his poem Human Pride, Marx admits that his aim is not to improve the world, reform or revolutionize it, but simply to ruin it and enjoy it being ruined: With disdain I will throw my gauntlet full in the face of the world, And see the collapse of this pygmy giant whose fall will not stifle my ardor. Then will I wander godlike and victorious through the ruins of the world And, giving my words an active force, I will feel equal to the Creator. “Looking for consciousness in the brain is like looking in the radio for the announcer.” – Nasseim Haramein, Director of Research for the Resonance Project |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 2494046 United States 06/27/2019 03:29 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Many retirement homes and hospitals will pay for CNA training if you contract to work for them for a year after you finish school. Plus there are many 1 year courses that will keep you out of those loser minimum wage jobs. Unemployment offices will know of tons of training programs and vocational rehab. You have lots of options for bettering your employment situation. There’s always Walmart and McDonald’s not the greatest but still better than no job. Good luck! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 2494046 AC, please keep in mind that Miggy is pushing 60 years old. And that many jobs which are suitable for 30 - 40 year old people become more and more physically challenging as a person gets older. Could YOU be 60 and work at McDonalds? Survive a 48-hour week on your feet at a factory? Or a hospital-type job which involves picking up and turning patients over in their beds? Not chastising, perhaps you didn't realize Miggy's age. Or you're very young and have lots of strength and stamina and have not been smacked around by Life yet. For a reality check: Today, right now, at this very moment, you have the MOST energy, the MOST stamina, the MOST intellectual acumen, the MOST friends and relatives who are willing/able to help you, and the MOST chance of opportunity knocking that you will have for the rest of your LIFE. And from this moment on, all of those "mosts" will begin to shrink, imperceptibly at first but more noticeably as you get older. Not complaining, or trying to be a downer, that's just how it is. I am pushing 60 myself born the same year as Miggy. Retirement homes are looking for people exactly like her. People that are mature, settled, caring. Finding dependable help is not easy in today’s world. But believe me there are tons of jobs for people our age. When was the last time you went to a Casey’s, McDonald’s, Walmart etc it’s all people our age. We are the most hired demographic there is. I imagine Oklahoma is a lot like Iowa. CNA training, is only a year or less. Home health is a great way to make a living. Honestly aside from being disabled there’s no reason she shouldn’t be able to find a job with in a few days. Oh, FFS, you can't live on any of those wages unless you're married (another income) or resort to a roommate (like a 20 year old). It’s what she’s been living on. |

I saw no evidence of physical force. He didn’t threaten her harm. You made up an accusation.... shame on you. And yes, my friend, using a blanket statement like “toxic masculinity “ is to say that masculinity in and of itself is poison. Which in turn will cause men to avoid masculine behavior in order to not be thought of as toxic. To tell a man to avoid masculine behavior is emasculating. |

User ID: 77310241 United States 06/27/2019 06:21 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ... Quoting: FeedYourHead True, they do deserve their bottom....problem is, if people keep handing them crutches they never quite reach that bottom. Editing to add an epiphany moment for myself.... that bottom you speak of has to sometime be reached by those with the giving hearts who allow themselves to be taken advantage of. Bah. Eventually they all hit bottom, whether it's via a slippery slope or a slippery staircase, and all the help in the world (financial, "advice", whatever) won't change a thing. Change comes from within. And, you are mistaken that people are being taken advantage of. Either Miggy needs help, or she doesn't. And, it's a personal choice to help...or not help. But, judging the circumstances around her needs, based on past situations, doesn't change the needs. Even if it's cyber-panhandling, she has an apparent need. If I give the homeless guy on the corner a Twenty, I don't do a background check on him. Nor does it stop me from giving him more on other occasions, even though he's been doing it for months, or years. His demons are his own, and even if he uses that 20 to feed his demons, it's not up to me to judge. Fine...I have "demons" too...NOW, GIVE ME MONEY! Thanks! Seriously, my concerns had nothing to do with a "past". It has to do with the OBVIOUS lies being told but hey, as I said earlier you folks are all grown people, it's not my job to save you from yourselves. You guys have fun and for those who did at least engage in discussing this, thanks. Okay. Is it Miggy's job loss story that you're saying is a lie? If so, could you please pose a precise question for which she can provide a precise answer? That's fair and reasonable. Sorry about that red I gave you. I'll fix it once I can give you karma again. It was rash of me. OH Gosh..don't apologize, I understand how emotions and things work on the internet. Sometimes it's difficult to get a point across when it's in this format as opposed to in person, etc. Besides, if not for this I'm quite certain I deserve it for something! Actually if they are still there I asked her several specific questions in various posts, none of which did she bother to respond. At this point, unless you just want them to see what I was talking about I can either go find them or you can rewind the arrow to see them but that's up to you. Early on I was very hesitant to say a peep, always wanting to give someone the benefit of the doubt but I have been here longer than my current persona indicates and even though there have been previous "crisis" presented here, that was NOT my concern. What I was concerned with were the numerous inconsistencies in this thread, all of them from Miggy herself and while I am generous to a fault when I see red flags I can't unsee them and pretend they don't exist. As I have repeated, I don't like the idea of someone, anyone taking advantage of peoples good hearts and the more I saw in the thread the more inconsistencies I witnessed. Again, as far as the red, don't worry about it, I knew what I was saying going in would have ramification. it's all good Quick edit to let you know I went to try to find some of those questions but most of those posts have mysteriously disappeared....go figure.

I'm serious about that, I've seen numerous signs over the years in their windows and they have trouble getting anyone to work for that. The Tulsa job market, as is the case with the entire southwest region is HOT from any prospective employee...just sayin.

Thank you for your kind reply. Your questions were fair. I will ask one that I recall: Miggy, how did you lose your job? Were you fired, asked to resign or did you quit? Whatever the answer, what led up to it? I agree it was confusing when you said many people were let go (as in a lay off) but it sounds like something happened with you. Just want you know that whatever happened, I have no regrets about chipping in :) People get in jams and need help and I know that. I hope if I ever reach out to my GLP buds that it will be there for me. Point being, NO SHAME and just asking for the particulars to clear this all up.

User ID: 77767850 United States 06/28/2019 11:42 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | For that matter...many businesses won't hire anyone over 50. Quoting: TheLordsServant I went 8 years - most of my "50's years" - without a real job...surviving on ebay sales and various programs for low income folks. Applied for many different jobs during that time. Not even one interview. We’re those years when jobs were hard to find for everyone? I’m just really surprised by all that. I worked at a farm store 5 years ago and one of our stock “boys” ( load customers vehicles with 50lb bags of feed etc) was 84 years old. After he quit there he worked for the city mowing the parks etc!!! Yeah maybe your not going to get those jobs that need someone young but brains, experience and dependability means everything at most jobs these days. 2010 - 2018 The last job I had was Software QA in 2008, but I have been living in a small town and didn't have a dependable vehicle to get me to where jobs where. I applied at the local grocery store and hardware store as I had "stocking" experience, albeit 25+ years ago in a manufacturing company. Too many others too explain.

I wouldn't blame her if she DOESN'T post in here again. Far TOO much bashing from some folks - who wouldn't be satisfied with any type of "explanation". Im 60+ - and over the years have seen people that just seem to have "difficult lives" for various reasons. OP's last employer forced her to resign. I personally would have fought that but many folks just can't. At this point I hope she gets hired in a better job and can move on. I am a humble Servant of the one True Living God. |

Re-Instate Smith-Mundt! User ID: 77479757 United States 06/28/2019 11:52 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I’ll bet Miggy is actually a short Latino guy, that just received over $2000 to spend on Tequila on tattoos. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 2494046 I very much doubt that, but even if it were true, that guy would have to answer and explain his actions to Heavenly Father, while the people who were kind-hearted and donated a little will have their names in His Book of Life. It all works out in the end. "I have come to the conclusion that all news should be treated like 9/11, assume it is a psyop with actors participating in a staged event complete with props, until proven otherwise, in which case assume whatever is being recorded, reported, televised, is distortions/lying by omission/outright lies, until proven otherwise." - Anonymous, 4-13-12 |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 70309345 United States 06/28/2019 12:11 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I wonder if she tried to get her old job back. Also credit ratings aren't the big deal they are made out to be in some cases. I was looking at some Tulsa properties where she says she lives. Now they go from over a million to in some places but plenty under 25,000. Just small 1-2 bedrooms, bath, kitchen and living room but a place all her own. Neighborhood might not be the best but at least a start or re-start to begin making better choices for herself. She would probably have a much higher interest rate due to finances (for a couple of years) but maybe she could take the 2,000 from GFM and put it toward a small house or condo unit. It would be her's and most loans only require you live there for 1 year at which time she could sell if things get better. My take is she has aligned herself with some toxic people including her own family. It's tough but sometimes you have to cut the toxic people including family members out. I had to do it and once done, it's like setting down a large bag of bricks. It's just a relief. You can keep praying for them but you don't have to take their advice or socialize with them. If she keeps up with her mortgage payments for 6 months she could get a car providing she has a driving license. She didn't mention only that she ride a bus. |
