You could go work there

I'm physically disabled, so no I could not, the SSA said I'm not able bodied in 2003, this has not changed since then.

It doesn't matter what the SSA says, it matters what you can or can't do.

You won't let any of us tell you what to do, so why do you let them?

Look I am not able bodied, Ok?

Unless you ask you don't know if they have a job that can be done from a wheelchair.

I'm a amputee and my " good " leg is held together with titanium screws in my hip and a titanium rod holding my femur together , I've got the x-rays and people have seen them who post here .
I work for myself designing and then fabricating access ramps for people's houses ( cutting , welding etc you know the " dirty PROPER " sort of engineering ! ) and have been working for myself coming up for 3 years in May .
ANY disability is only a problem WHEN you let it become one , there's ways you can work round things like I do . Ohh and I didn't get any help / grants etc to start up on my own from any authority / government did it all off my own back and did it just to see if I could , but the best thing is I ain't relying on benefits and feel sh#teloads happier in meself .
You DON'T know unless you try !!!

Gary, please stop.

If you don't want to work, fine, but stop looking at and posting jobs because when you do you make it seem as if you want work.

Meeter &Greeter doesn't require any specific qualification. Only that one has a welcoming personality. One of the supermarkets near me has Meeter & Greeter who only works a handful of hours a week, he is chair bound (not wheelchair bound) greets everone with a smile and a few word, his knowledge of the store layout is very poor,but the store pays bim because people enjoy his greetings and 'smiley' personlity, despite frequently in pain. So don't assume you don't have the qualifications you may simply be lacking the internal drive to do such a job.

Walmart used to have those, no one else did, now Walmart does not have them, I have concentration problems, that's short term memory is bad, I can not always remember something, My older Niece has a New bf named Nick, I was told His last name, but I can't remember that... And I don't speak much Spanish either.

Not all Walmarts got rid of the Meeters and Greeters. All 3 of the Walmarts I go to have them. I think its a stores choice to have them or not.
Edit. If Vic was born in 1960 he would have been 18 in 1978. Able to enlist in the Army. Four yeas is the normal enlistment period. ( but you can enlist for 6 years also.) So if he was in for 4 Years He would have gotten out in 1982 or 83 depending on the date he signed up.
So he would have been 22 or 23 when discharged.
He could apply for VA benefits. But the VA closed down so many centers its not feasible to travel hundreds of miles to go to one. That is one of the big complaints from Vets here in NY state.
But I will state. One makes ones own bed also. Don't cry if its not comfortable.

I’m sure that if you wanted to find a job then you could find a job regardless of the disability

I thought you said they couldn’t discriminate in lending, what about employment

So my memory is bad, but if you’ve said that you can get a loan on no income, I would assume that a disabled person could get a job

I was laid off in 2004. I was 52 then. It took me 2 weeks less than Two yeasr to find a job. The excuses I heard was we cant pay you what you used to make. Or your over qualified. I think it was because I was to old myself. But trying to prove it? The ACLU might have been a resource to try. But I'm not a quitter. I found a company that was willing to retrain me in a totally different skill set.
There are jobs out there. You might have to be retrained or move to get them. But you will never get one sitting on your ass hoping some one will offer you one.

I don’t think anyone has a problem with you getting government cheese, but they think a job would fix a lot of your issues

Vic, the best reason to work I have found is to have something interesting to do.
Since retirement 9 years ago I still miss work.

---

So you let those people ruin your life?

---

Interesting. Working to live vs. living to work.

I'm the opposite. Retired 8 years after 45+ and went early (lost 25% SS), the best thing I ever did. Never looked back, do not miss it a bit and I loved my job, paid good. Today I am busy with more interesting things, my wife for one, than ever. Everyday is Saturday. Wheeeee!!

...

And I'm getting a $6.11 refund on the TV stand, yay!

All cause 3 out of 6 feet fell off.

Which have since been fixed, a little Gorilla Super Glue blue tip, works wonders.

Small victories ROCK!

...

so you'll have two televisions?

Flaming Me over My income, or how I purchase something will not be tolerated, nor should it be...

Then stop bitching about your financial situation. Jeeze a significant factor is your priorities, such as 2 TVs. I can only watch one at a time.

I'd like to see how the set looks with a tv program on.

The mind is a weird and mysterious place

with two televisions you could get two xbox consoles
