The answer is: (Couch) 84. The question is...

Hope the wait isn't long. I have no idea what the DES is... lol

Department of Economic Security. The welfare office Trying to get everything lined up so I can show enough income to qualify for my apartment. I do not want to move to transitional housing. Next step: back to work. Being on assistance blows chunks

Oh, and this line hasn't moved at all in at least 15 minutes.

Considering their choice to become a therapist - each is nuts by definition. The extent of nutness is the only difference.

I wonder if the gun-toting security guards would mind of I took their picture

Ah I would just say the welfare office lol. I'm sure DES is common phrase in the US. I'm outside the U.S. so I'm sure that's why it's weird to me hah

One way to find out..... Lol

LOL! Yeah... I sense the boredom. No book to read? lol.

Each state can have its own name for the agency that handles assistance - so it is not consistent here either.

Am I the only person to carry a book in my bag all the time? And/or have a book on my phone to read as well?

Not a physical book, I carry mine electronically. But I always have one.

Well, I got in the door finally. It only took an hour
I have my knitting and my iPad. Now that I'm inside and sitting down I'll be alright... For a few hours anyway. Here's hoping I'll be out of here before mid-afternoon

I've only ever dealt with welfare in AZ. No idea what they call it elsewhere...

Can't see the screen properly outside with the sun in my eyes. Besides, whining is an integral part of the DES experience

I do too. I just read a fab book - Alek Wek's autobiography, she is a supermodel from Sudan. She describes treking for days with her family when the civil war came.

Oh ok. I don't feel so bad then.

I often have one in my car.

Question: Why bother wearing pants if you're going to tie the belt around your thighs?
Another question: how difficult is it to walk in such a way that your pants stay up when they're belted around your thighs?

I have no answers, only this:

Okay, through observation I answered my own question. Or at least one of them anyway. Apparently you hold onto the buckle while you walk and do a little hop-jig thing every third step or so to yank 'em up. Which still begs the question, why???

I presume it was about the alleged unexplainability of the aforementioned panic attacks and hyperventilation. They both stipulated? (I've never been able to use that word in a sentence in my life, its fun! ) i would not want a t with the cahooties

Burn more calories and stay flexible?

Is that what they call swagger? lol

Ok ladies.... Embarrassing question to follow... You'd think I would know by now, but I don't....

Panty hose... Do you wear underwear with it? I mean it's called "panty" hose right..... I'm confused.

I don't know. Looks to me like you'd wind up stiff and sore and bow-legged. Not to mention completely unable to carry anything. And how do you run from the police?
