When you go from Middle Class to Food Stamps via Cancer and a Car Accident you sometimes have a mental breakdown

by Leslie Jacobs

My mom fell at a corporation because they didn’t clean their walk very well of snow. She died the following year she was 87. The corporation said they would reimburse all the expenses of the Dr home healthcare nursing home so I paid it out of my retirement savings because I didn’t have the 65,000 in my savings account for the rainy day that happened. Make it a monsoon.

The insurance provider for the corporation decided not to answer my phone calls until I screamed into the phone now I have breast cancer. Will you please return my call it still took him an hour to call back.

After a few years of crying, they finally decided $9000 was enough and they got away with it because of the statue of limitations.why didn’t I hire a lawyer because my mom didn’t want me to she believed because she fell at where she retired from her employer would not screw her thank God she died and didn’t see what the lawyers did to me. I’ve realized that the corporations do this almost everyone it’s not personal they say after telling me to stop crying or I’m going to hang up on you a lawyer in Farmington for the corporation said I was in my early 50s working and looking for a full-time job.

I was laid off in 2008 from my union job and I’ve never financially recovered because I aged out of the job market.

In rapid succession after my mom died, I had breast cancer and then my favorite person died. My cousin Michael he and I grew up together. It was devastating.

Time employee for a union I was making bank. I loved being middle class. I loved being able to pay my taxes and help people I knew and didn’t know.

I miss being part of America, but I guess I’m more American now than ever since I’m on food, stamps and heating assistance and the greatest gift from God and Connecticut healthcare thank you Connecticut thank you Democrats. You saved my life.

Quick Food Stamps story—talking to a couple in big Y-the woman and I talking up a storm and the minute I said to the cashier I’m on food stamps-the woman stopped talking to me-and whispered something to her husband and turned her back.

Now, I don’t care who knows I’m on food stamps. This is how you survive in America now. I didn’t realize that surviving wasn’t living until Meghan Markle said “it’s not enough to survive-you have to thrive.”

My food stamps were stolen

I haven’t traveled in a while-but my food stamps were in Pennsylvania and Portland yesterday. They took 261.00 from me.

I’m hurt. I’m hungry. And they aren’t replaced.

I’m Asking for help!

Help!

Are named in the file—-and Prince Andrew flew on his plane in 2000. The girls said they were raped on the plane too.

So, so sad!

And Trump must resign. I’ve said it. Will others with lots more platforms do the same?

I stand or sit with Jimmy Kimmel -I never watched him until he was on YouTube and now he stands with Colbert and Letterman and Carson in my eyes. He is funny. And so am I—-I’ve written similar jokes or in the same vein to Mr.Kimmel.

I remember watching Carson during the Silverman years-and I said out loud to my mom “wonder if it’s Fred Silverman behind” and Johnny said the exact thing.

My mom looked at me, and said is this a rerun? How did you know what he was going to say?

It’s new- and with everything it was brushed aside.

This is my new joke:

Charlie Kirk understood The Secret-law of attraction means you say something and believe in it strongly-it will happen to you.

(I have to believe I’m worth 1 million dollars! )

CK said “gun deaths are worth it “ to protect the Second Amendment

So watch what comes out of your mouth. Especially your inner voice.

I met Robert Redford in 2017

by Leslie Jacobs

I am very blessed to be friends with so many great people. My friend Mare treated me to a Broadway play and an overnight in NYC in 2017.

So, I played with the Universe and said I’d like to meet Barbra Streisand while in NYC.

Mare, her brother, his husband her cousins and I were seated when there was a hush in the crowd. Lights turned down as Robert Redford and his friends enter and sat a few rows down from us.

At intermission I asked to use the bathroom but Mare who has known me for over 40 years told me to sit on my hands and she refused to move so I could get out of my seat. She knew I wanted to meet him. So I had to wait until the show ended and most of the audience walked out.

Then I walked up to him, told him I was a writer and I’m so glad to meet you. He told me we need writers and had a nice chat.

I didn’t ask for an autograph but thanked him for his movies
