I give to the United Way through work but I chose where my money goes. I also donate to the Salvation Army clothes we no longer wear that are in good shape. I donate to the Ronald McDonald house as well. The morning radio show I listen to is a big supporter of them and it''s an amazing organizaton. Also, one of my friends stayed there when her baby boy was born premature.
I hate people that take and take and take and never do anything to make their life better. They teach their kids to do the same. I am not rich. I am supporting my kids pretty much by myself. But I don't take handouts, welfare, food stamps, or state paid health insurance for my kids. I work my ass off (contrary to Cracker's beliefe
) and I do without things for myself so I can give to my kids.
I mentioned my ex and his UE situation. He has not worked in over a year. He has been collecting UE this whole time. Which he is entitled too. However, between April and October of last year he went on SIX vacations while collecting UE. THAT is stealing. You can only collect UE when you are able and ready to work. Being in Vegas is not ready and able to work. He was investigated due to a tip to the fraud hotline. He had to pay back 4 weeks of benefits and now he only gets half what he was previously getting a week. He blames me. He thinks I called. It's irrelevant who called. If he was not doing anything wrong he wouldn't have gotten in trouble. The ex actually thinks that he is going to tell the judge at court next week about this and that it;s my fault he isn't getting as much money thus he shouldn't have to pay support. I can't wait to see how this goes over.
