Chin up mate! Like they said, you've gotta set those priorities and goals straight - pretty sure you'll do that just fine!

I see this situation a lot in modeling forums, and it definitely is disheartening to see a fellow member take a hit. But hey, they eventually get through it, and I'm sure you will too buddy.

The voting is a good thing to look forward too, definitely will put up excitement!

P.S. I believe I read that you are a fan/admire and respect highly Mr. Anderson - well, here's a model that won't cost you a penny (http://www.kartonmodelle.eu/50088798b211e1f24/50088798e9135641a/index.html) - (.Pdf is linked to the last picture on that page - if white lines show up in the .pdf's, they truly aren't there in the print outs).

well I do share your experience man, you need to set your priorities first. what I did is take odd jobs, to have money in my pockets, then slowly progress to a better job, you must have some sacrifices at first but it would be rewarding at the end.

thats what im doing right now...

to tell you the truth guys, most people don't take me seriously when i say this, but i trust you guys will, i really cant get a good paying job right now, i can only really get under the table pay, the medications i take, are extremely expensive, and if i where to get a decent paying job now..., they would take my insurance away beacuse supposedly would "be making enough money to take care of myself." i would be broke trying to pay for my medications alone, i would go back to MCTI and be pretty much screwed. the last time i got a good job, i was doing grounds maintenance work, getting paid almost 200 bucks a week, my insurance had a fit since i was 18 or 19 and now a adult, and i almost lost it, the only reason i was able to save it was beacuse i was going to school again. my parents put it this way when i was a kid at the time i got that job, "if we would have tried paying for your medications, we would have went bankrupt."

it makes me feel lazy beacuse i cant get a job, people always are saying that the problem with people on Social Security and stuff are always lazy and bum off the system, but i don't want to be like that, and let me tell you calling me lazy is the last thing you want to do, beacuse i am not, i truly think i work pretty hard, and if i could get a job you bet your bottom dollar i would be getting one, i am more scared than anything, if i lose my insurance, i am in a deep hole or metaphorically speaking, my wings are clipped!

i just love this system, they want you to get a job, but if you get one they screw you over...

my plan is once i get out of school is to jump into the job system and put the pedal to the floor... make my own money, start getting jobs, so i can pay for myself, right now i really cant get a decent enough job to do so, i feel it would be too much of a risk.

Welfare has been set up as a trap. I have known for quite some time that if you try to get off of it, they punish you. For example: Say I am on welfare and decide that I want to work to get some extra money. So I get a job and earn $10,000. What does welfare do? Cut your welfare check back by $15,000. They should cut your check back by $5,000 to encourage you to work.

Ace, I have no problems believing your story about working too much, then you are cut off....

 

[Jelly]

Uffff / Wow.

I´m reading the last posts in this thread with my eyes open like FULL MOONS.

For me (at least by now… who knows where the “hiperliberal trends” will take us) in the country where I live (I openly recognize that my country is VERY, VERY FAR from being perfect), the matter you´re talking about in this thread… well… I can´t believe what I am reading here: it is incredible for us, simply incredible.

What I am reading here it is incredible. I´m shocked.

I´m sorry, I can not understand: you are CITIZEN of your country IN your country!!! " possible restrictions in the access to (your) medical treatments depending of your incomes or depending if you´re employed or unemployed” ? ? ? ?

I´m sorry, I openly recognize my understanding limitations, I can´t understand.

Take it easy, Ace, take it easy.

the American Health system is a farce, here in ireland we get a medical card when on assistance and all you pay for your meds is 50c but if you have a job you can still keep the card until the Expiry on that card runs out wich is only a year.

 

[Elm City Hobbies]

Yup...same here in Canada. Yeah we pay higher taxes, but we also get medical because of it. Now Medicare won't pay for medication, but at least if you need to go to the hospital or medical center, you are covered.

Blue Cross or other types of medical insurance here costs a bit, but it isn't too bad, and it covers pretty much everything (up to 80% of what Medicare doesn't, and all your meds), for a pretty good price. I think for the 2 of us, my wife pays about $60 a month (or maybe $60 a pay) from her salary. With the meds I am one, it is more than worth it to have it.

 

[spud]

it baffels me how they can have such rubbish medical system for such a country as , and this green dot in the Atlantic out does them

 

[13aceofspades13]

you guys are so awesome, yea the health care system here is just garbadge, there are people worse off than me by far, and they don't even give a care! it makes me so sad that the country that i love so much is being SO STUPID!

I do know, how it feels when someone told, how lazy you are... or such a pain in the neck, worst when some says "worthless" instead of gettin mad, I took it as a challenge, My first job after I graduate in college, I work in McDonalds as a technician why to far from what I took in college, Since I'm living in a 3rd world country, the pay keeps you alive but when you got sick there would be a problem... your right Ace... be strong and keep moving!!

I do suggest, since your an expert modeler, why not sell your service... build planes to others especially in your area, ask some friends who might need your services.

Just my 2 cents.

im not a expert, but i guess my stuff would be good enough to sell, buy a kit for 20 bucks, build it, sell it for 50! or a friend brings in a kit, have him pay ya 20 bucks to build it.

yea people don't directly call me lazy, but it just feels like it, people complain all the time about people on welfare, about how we just live off the system.
