I was told by someone in the Social Security
Administration office that the limit for SSI disability was just less than
$800 a month.

Lori,
Hello,
My name is Sharon I am on Public
Assistanance SSI, Social Security
Disability. But Its not because I Want
to be!! I worked for 8 years running
a office! One day I received a
letter stating that if I made 200.00 a month
I could loose my medical
insurance. Here in Ohio that's how it is!!!! What
Choice would you have
made? I knows not fair but! If laws ever change I will
go back to work
if I don't get too old first!!! Not everyone is on public
assistance
because they want to be!!! There are allot on it that should not
be!!
But you don't know everyone's situation!!! Do not judge until you're in
one shoes!!! Just my opinion!!
Hugs
Sharon

Hey Lori I have a
question.
How do you live on $16,500 a
year with no help or public assistance?
There's a lot people on the list that would like to know your
secret.

Work
Many others can answer
this question as well. I got a B.S. in liberal
studies and
business administration. I wanted to work for IBM as it was a
big
local firm but all resumes were ignored there and other
jobs.
I took a job at an ILC and
worked as an advocate of kids receiving
special-ed. It only
required an Associate's degree but I took it. Fool
move. It
only paid $16,500K. That = about $7.50 ban hour. Nonetheless I
stuck with it. Then I began having pain here and there ALL THE
TIME. I
went to different Drs for 4-5 yrs and finally found out I
had Syringomyelia.
I resigned from
work (foolish move ... shoulda retired on disability).
My endurance now
sucks along with other secondary problems later and yr
after
yr.
It SUCKS my degree isn't being
used RIGHT NOW but I keep plenty busy!
Go to work if you can! People whine about women on welfare yet so
many quads get exactly that. Call it Medicaid, Public Assistance
or
whatever ... but it's welfare and I'll get slammed here for not being
P.C.!
If you know what you want to do
... reach for it! GO FOR IT!
TIP: DO NOT put that you are disabled on your resume. I was
green as
key lime pie when I was doing mine/sending mine and made that
mistake. List
only your experience, degrees,
etc.

Sludge and Sediment in FOLEY USERS
Lori
I want to change subjects and ask
you another question. I have not
been able to find employment not
only because of our problem with sediment
in my urine but mainly because
of recurrent pressure sores. I want to ask
you if you were
employed and what you are doing. My repeated attempts to
seek
employment have been frustrated because of my skin and I wanted to
learn
what others are done explicit because your entry-level is high and
similar to mine.
I would
appreciate any advice or information you could provide
me
