Mite Social Security said I dont qualify for SSI as my SSDI is higher than the maximum allowable for SSI. I do qualify for food stamps and all the other state funded projects but not SSI. I did the Ebay thing until the economy took a nose dive then I couldnt sell hardly anything and if I did it was a break even thing. I just got a notice that my food stamps will be reduced due to me getting a raise in January, I havent even heard of how much a raise I will get. They give it to you in one hand and take it away with the other. They dont want you to get ahead. God forbid if I had any money left over at the end of the month. Just being sarcastic. To get the few things I do have Ive had to save for months. Watch for sales and trade when possible. Its just really tuff I havent been to Kansas to visit my kids and grandkids for 3 years and my youngest grand child is now 1 year old and I havent even seen her. I plan on going this spring if my old clunker doesnt break down again and I can save enough money to buy tires as I am running on baldies. But thats life aint much I can do to change any of it. I just gotta keep pluggin away at it. Jimmy
