Update:
Why do I have to get so angry before anyone takes notice that we are PISSED OFF!!!!
I don't get it, why do we have to blow a gaskey at the government, at the grocery stores, at everyone who thinks it's OK to keep ripping us off, of the Basic's to live in Canada.
Landlords, Trying to see how dam High they can make the rent! We are being brought to our KNEES.
Food Costs, Up Up Up till we don't know if we can eat...or pay Rent..there is that word again OR!!
I am really starting to hate the word OR! Lets take the word OR out of our dailiy Lives. Lets go back to AND! Much better word, Rent and FOOD.
I received a call last week from my income suport Aish, yes I am on aish why because my pension is very far from enough for me to even think about living....I was not sitting around just collecting income support so please don't think that..I have worked for 48 years, paid my dues only to be told sorry you don't get a full Pension cause you worked min wage Jobs! I was forced into retirement, but a injury...I would like nothing more than to still be working but I can not! So If you have questions about my income just ask I have nothing to hide.
In regards to the call I have received, Awhile ago I wrote to my MLA, cause I was fed UP, I was pissed OFF, and sick and Tired of not getting anywhere. I am retired I got nothing better to do then write letters to the people who hold the purse strings. and that I do!
MLA never answered but it was sent on to a supervisor! I figured a crap now who did I piss off! It's a gift sometimes. Thinking now what do I have to explain..cause I have nothing but time and let me tell you if it gets results then I will KEEP writing. The supervisor who called me said and I quote:
I read your email and it made me very sad for YOU! Do NOT FEEL SAD FOR ME! EVER! I neither want your pity, or your ahh you poor thing! My life has never been easy, I grant you that...but it has not always been SAD! I have had to do some of the hardest things in My life. Taking My own Son Clayton at 37 off Life suport, brought me too my KNEES! It made me question everything! Unless you yourself have buried a child, the pain is something I would never wish on anyone.It's been 6 years yet it feels like yesterday. Remembering Clayton is easy I do that everyday...Knowing He is never coming Back..is NOT easy, but I remember the good times .....
The supervisor, went on and on about different benifits and things I maybe intritled to now that I have High blood pressure, and I started to feel like the Poster CHILD for SENIORS. He sent me all sorts of links and information that I have been going through to see what I do qualify for, he gave my number to the ETOWN low income housing for seniors, she called me as well, sent me links most of which they both sent I have already done but a few were new.
Why do we have to blow up and write letters and get so angry before people go okay we gonna tell you about a few things ya might not know about! What is the secert you are trying to KEEP!
We are not asking for what we are NOT ENTITLED TOO! Then I am told you really should call the tenant act...I know the minute I do that my managment company is going to find any excuse they can to kick me to the curb..I can't afford to be homeless in ETOWN in the winter. The waiting list is UP to 4 years for some of the low income places yes 4 years, so me making waves at the managment company right now is NOT a GOOD IDEA!
I keep receiving new emails with new links, again why do I have to lose it for me to get it!!! Most I have already applied for cause I am not sitting waiting for someone else to do it for me! So Yes I have gone through all the hoops and crap I need to do to get on waiting lists. As nice as they seemed to be I am not UP FOR ADOPTION! I don't want to be put at the front of the line because I yelled louder than others..I am not their new pet project, thank you very much! I am just making noise for the people who work 90 hours a week, who don't have time to spend hours writting letters and trying to be heard! If you need a letter written let me know I got time..a lot of people don't.
Most of US are struggling everyday to figure OUT next month..or working 2 jobs, losing sleep,worried about Xmas.It's the thought that counts for gifts..right you tell a 3 year old who belives IN SANTA, and you are worried about a gift, that its the thought that COUNTS. Life doesn't work that way and we all know it! We all want to be able to make our children smile, not see us worry and belive that Yes there is a Santa!
In closing today please keep passing it forward we are stalling out a bit, even if people have a mortage, they have kids at home who they might like to move out on their own one day...if we can afford IT!!
We are fed UP!!! No more OR...Rent and Food..lets remove the word OR!
