Quote From: lukebandita major kick in the pants is when you sit on your behind for yearsand just work a little here and a little there and don't support your family, when you get older and you retire you won't get nothing. i live on 30 dollars a month, because i missed drawing more because i was short four quarters. i did work some and babysitted for years didn't pay it in and that hurt. but i was a housewife cooked cleaned and raised 3 boys and had a stroke/coma and i am in a nursing home on medicaid. if i would of worked those four extra quarters i would have medicare and therapy but i don't. those 2 peas in a pod are just pathetic and dr phil; gets 19 lashes with a wet noodle for not doing an update because it has been 5 months since they ran the first show. sincerely, teresa Phil. 4:13
Hey, I read your story about the sorry husband who wouldn't pay child support. Don't you live in a state where if the father does not support his kids he goes to jail? If so, why not pursue that? I know your kids are grown, but maybe you could get back child support anyway and use the money to aid your failing health. Just an idea, and I don't even know if it will work, but it may be worth talking to somebody about. I'm very sorry for what you had to go through, but it sounds like you served as a great example to your kids. He'll get his in the afterlife, don't you worry.
