Lol...what planet are you from. That's not how it works. They can call police anytime they want to take us to mental institution because we are a danger to society, so parents can tell their children have incurable disease and need medication for a life time. Are you sure they gave you the right meds ? -- ...winston msft mvp consumer apps |

But hey, that's too much work, right? It's just so much easier to trot down to the nearest pizza or burger joint. You should probably do some research and investigation about the problem. That means more than just a few hours searching the web. Actual visits to areas where the financially poor live to see first hand what it's like. For one thing, if you are going to take the road of the "right" food, then there is no option but to include natural and organic foods. They are definitely more expensive than your chain grocery stores. *I* can't afford those places, not to mention the nearest one is 40 miles away. Then, if you are in larger cities, in many places where you find financially poor people, there are no grocery stores. Until it was documented by the news media, I was unaware of that. So you have to travel to get to the store. But in many places, dare I say most places, public transportation is not available. (Cabs, if they exist, are private and expensive.) Often the only places to buy food locally will be a conveniences store, if it exists. Ever see one with fresh fruits and vegetables? But you are lucky enough to have bus service where you live. You're also a single parent with a couple of kids. (There's many reasons for being a single parent, so don't even start down that road.) If you take your kids with you, more money spent on transportation. If you leave them alone, and get reported for whatever reason, you could end up with the local version of Child Protective Services taking your children away from. All because you were trying to provide nourishing (a.k.a. the "right" food) for your children. This is not a conservative or liberal problem, it's a societal problem. And everyone who bitches about the situation should hang their heads in shame for letting this type of condition exist in what is arguably the richest nation on the planet, and where it was just reported that 40% of the food grown in the United States goes to waste. Because their lazy welfare mama would rather buy fastfood burgers than cook something healthy at home? Why is it that immigrants who come here with only a shirt on their back and no English language skills can work themselves out of poverty in a few years, but American borns cannot? It's because libs like you keep telling them that it's not their fault but the system's. That's so wrong that it could only have come from Fox News.

When you reach retirement age, many things are possible. How this works is, as you get older, you get richer. Until you get stupid and lose it (somehow). Then you get older and wiser. For some people who run into age discrimination, they don't have quite as many opportunities as they did when they were younger. It's no longer a matter of being a high achiever. The HR departments of the world see to it, that you never work again. I've had a few people at work, who had pretty severe financial reversals. One guy, was pretty well set, made a big mistake, and all he would say about it was he was glad to have a job, a job he would be working forever. One guy at work (in my department), invested in Bre-X. He wasn't totally wiped out, but pretty near. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bre-X One of the people at my bank (adviser) was telling me a story about someone at my very branch. Invested in Bre-X. Was worth $30 million at one point. Adviser told him to sell immediately and get out. The individual (unnamed) ignored the advice, and lost it all. These are examples of stupid, risky investments, with big potential payoffs, that cause otherwise responsible people to end up broke. You would think someone having made $30 million of some stinking mining stock, would be clever enough to sell half, and "ride the rest to the top". But like the movie "Sierra Madre", once you get gold fever, all common sense leaves the room. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tre...ra_Madre_(film) So whether it's some bad investment advice that drives you back to work, or a need to get out of the house and interact with people and get some level of self esteem back, there are lots of reasons for a part time job when you reach retirement age. Many HR organizations, will not allow you to work in your previously chosen profession. It doesn't matter what is on your resume - you may be impressed with your resume, but the HR person has a checklist, one of which will be age, one of which will be the period of time you've been out of work. For example, one HR person I had a beer with, told me she didn't take people after they'd been out of work for more than one year. So you have 364 days to find that job... then you turn into a spoiled tomato. Paul |

The groups have all manner of life experiences. For example, someone I will call the "RAMBUS guy", committed suicide. He dealt in short stock, the stock went in the wrong direction, he was ruined. Before he could bear to tell his wife what he'd dune, he committed suicide. Never try to guess at another posters situation... You don't wanna know. Paul |
