  • Really Depressed


    I got a letter today from the state of Colorado informing me that my application for food stamps (last September) has been denied.  o_0  And that due to my failure to provide requested information I must repay the amount they deposited into my food stamps account ...


    There is a suggestion that if I believe that this is an error I can appeal.  I'm to file the appeal prior to MARCH 1. 


    You know, I'd love to raise them a one-fingered salute but I'm afraid if I don't try to figure out how to jump through whatever hoops, I'll be convicted of some kind of fraud.  Actually, given the timing of all the rest of this debacle, for all I know I was convicted last week and I can expect them to be informing me of that fact sometime in 2007. 


    I'm thinking this is another situation for my attorney at PrePaid Legal.  By God - THOSE guys are earning their $17 a month. 


           


    The countdown until I take the kids to my parents for the summer is proceeding at an alarming rate.  I took them shopping yesterday and bought them new sandals.  I may be raising ... odd boys ... but I LOVE shopping with my guys.  Lately, they are all about what *I* wear.  Yesterday, they picked out their sandals and then they were saying - "Here Mom, try on these with the big yellow flower .... ooooooo ... aaaaaaaaah." 


    Some day they are either going to make their wives very happy or their grandparents very sad.

  • Maybe, just maybe... it is ONE MORE BLATANT SIGN that you are choosing to overlook?

    SAIL ON.... SAIL ON....

  • Sooo sorry about the food stamps. Isn't the government (any level) frustrating to deal with? When I was in the Navy, if they overpaid you, you got a letter saying, "YOU ARE INDEBTED TO THE U.S. GOVERNMENT, blah, blah, blah." They were the ones at fault then they write you this letter like you've owed them zillions of dollars for many years. Sheesh. Mike

  • Isn't it fun to deal with government programs?  For sure, get some legal aid...it will make it a lot easier and give you some peace of mind.

  • Big help they are huh ? Why do they want you to reapy them? Aren't they for children ? So much red tape and crap . I would call that attorney and make him earn the 17$ !!
    Your boy's sound cute . Whats the matter , you dont like sandal's with big yellow flowers? lol
    Good luck with the food stamp program . Summer flies by atleast so maybe it won't seem like they are gone from home too long .

    Peace and Love :)

  • OMG.

    Thinking of you..........(and your big flowery sandles)

  • Argh. I'm so sorry.

    I think your boys will have happy wives someday.
