I appreciate someone realizing that I just want help and advise on what to do to get some help for my family! Not a hand out. Sometimes bad things DO happen to good, decent, hardworking people! I have went to DSS, etc..

Please do not let the actions of a few stupid people deter you from reaching out for information. I am sadden to see this thread hijacked the way it was, but I will see what I can do about locating help for you and PM if that is acceptable to you. I know this may be a little late but I just saw this thread being mentioned in another thread.

:coffee: You have to go to the Dept of Social Services and NOT call them, and get there early and wait there as long as it takes to actually speak to a representative, and they never will let 5 kids go to the streets.

And Section 8 always has a 2-5 year waiting list and that means nothing to those that really need assistance because there is no wait for those that need really it.

It breaks my heart that someone comes into these forums or anywhere for that matter looking for help like this. Worse, to see people respond the way they have.

I hope this person find the help they needed. Times have gotten hard for many people, and I hope and pray things get better soon.

Did either you or your husband file for unemployment? The other question I have is if your accident wasn't your fault, why did you have to purchase another car? The other person's insurance didn't fix your vehicle.

I could use some help cleaning horse stalls. It is hard work and not fun. Perhaps wouldn't be appropriate for your hubby since his back but if you are interested let me know.

Good luck to you both.

is this job still open? I work with teens and young adults to help them find employment and if she is not interested I know several who are.

I say you must try not to take what other people say here too personally because it is not really so personal against you.

We all cut-down each other as everybody does in real life, and the ones here talk trash to each other as many have no honor at all.

In real life conversations we laugh at many comments but on a Forum like this we can not hear the laugh just as we can not see the tears when one is hurting.

If you look at other threads here then the same low-life posters are cutting down others or cutting down each other as they do not even know who you are, and we all get trashed or dumped on in our own due times.

That is the beauty of the Forum too in that an ignorant post can be ignored and passed over and take the parts we like and forget the other ones.

It is not just St. Mary's or Southern Maryland because people do act like nit-wits worldwide, and we get these kinds of posters on any Forum anywhere and everywhere on the Internet because that is how most people communicate.

We've hit a new low at SOMD. JPC was the leading voice of reason in this thread. What the hell is going on around here?

He is referring to me as my real name is JPC = James P. Cusick, so it is not an acronym or some secret message in the JPC.

I did read the necessary papers and asked questions throughout. The answers were just shady and dancing around the truth or just not 100% completly the truth. I didn't know that at the time though (of course or I would not have signed them). If I didn't understand something I did ask questions. I was never told that the interest payments were only partial interest and would be adding onto my loan. I did ask about that. He danced around the subject and at the time I thought he was answering my questions but I see now looking back that he was really avoiding it. You don't know until you know if it is truthful or shady answers! I hope you get that?

Thank You!

Truly thank you for believing in me and my post. I was shocked at the responses I have been put through on here too.

I have went to DSS several times and spent all day there on a few occasions (one of which was when I was told I should separate from my hubby to get the benefits that we needed). I am not just calling just so you know (and all of the haters out there who seem to think I am sitting on my a** doing nothing know too). I am getting out there and asking for assistance, not just by phone. I either don't qualify (which is totally ridiculous to me) or they are out of assistance money. I am trying. I also went to Lifestyles, so if anyone is getting ready to mention them--tried it, didn't work for me.

It is so sad when you cannot get the help you need here but we send out money to all these other countries. PM let me know what you need and I will help you the best I can.

You really need to tell your parents if you already haven't. Avoiding them because of it is just going to make your relationship worse. They might not like what you have to say, but they will get over it. Keeping them in the dark just isn't right.

Are you working? Looking?

Jobs in somd are very hard to find. I have several teens I am trying to help locate jobs and a few adults as well.

Tough market out there.

It depends on the type of job, SOMD is in much better shape than well just about every where else.

Then if you could please point me in the right direction because I have over 11 now teens and young adults who has applied almost everywhere in the area. And several adults trying to get work as well.

Thanks, any help is greatly appreciated

Agreed - SoMD is in much better shape than most of the country because many businesses are coming to the area instead of leaving the area, like they are doing in many other places. We don't really have the big unemployment problems that other areas do from people that are suddenly unemployed due to large companies closing. Companies are actually expanding and opening new stores around here.

I think the problem is that because of the job market, companies can be choosier than they were 5 or 10 years ago... there are lots of 'white collar' jobs around here but the other jobs (retail, food, etc.) have a lot of over-qualified applicants. Some of those are people who moved here to try and get a job on base or with a contractor or whatever and they weren't able to - a lot of people move to this area because they see that it is growing and their area has stores closing left and right. Unfortunately that makes it hard for teens or adults who don't have much education or who have other problems to get jobs.

Not sure there is much anyone can do about it - it is what it is, and it's just the way the job market is right now. I know that doesn't help those who are having trouble finding jobs... but that's just how it is right now. So yes, compared to other areas I'd say that SoMD is in good shape.
