Is anybody pretty knowledgeable when it comes to getting unemployment benefits?

Uncategorized 2 Comments »

I was just laid off from a car dealership last week. I worked there for 10 months. Before I was laid off they told they would honor my unemployment benefits. So I filed last week and now the state of MN is looking at a job that i quit back in Oct of 2007. I had to answer a bunch of questions online about it and they contacted the employer. To make a long story short, I quit this job, or was fired….either or because of alcoholism. I have been sober 14 months now, but I wasn’t a very healthy person back then. In fact i ended up in the hospital back in oct of 2007. When i got out I sent this employer a letter letting her know i was sorry and what had happened. She sent me my last 2 checks and that was it. Can the state of MN deny me unemployment for a job that I quit 17 months ago??? Why do they even care about this job….its not like this employer is going to be paying my unemployment benefits????? My most current employer will be and they’re fine with it. I am worried sick over this whole thing because its pending right now and i need the unemployment until I find something else. Any knowledgeable advice is appreciated!!!!!

Surf, Skate & Plate Raw Footage: Mike Pugh on Jimmy & Lucas Getting Busted

Uncategorized Comments Off

A reality show series based on a weirdly unique family living in Santa Barbara, CA and their chaotic life filled with surfers, skaters and healthy gourmet cooking. Follow the lives of Stacy (an active 400+ lb. mom who is in desperate need of bariatric surgery), Scott (a computer guru who drives a pink car, runs his own business and struggles to carve out a living in one of the world’s richest cities), Cousteau (their 9-year-old son who has surfed and skated since he was four-years-old, yet through his many years of competition has yet to bring home a first place trophy) and their perky Boston Terriers, Happy and Petal. You’ll also meet an eccentric cast of the 20 or so characters who fill their daily life. From the multitude of groms that are always around, to “Layback” Mike Pugh, an ex-pro skater and snowboarder, who struggles to stay clean and sober after losing his best friend to drug addiction, to “Uncle” Chris Keet who despite a good case of adult ADD, runs Santa Barbara’s premier surf school, Surf Happens, and is trying to coach Cousteau to the winner’s circle. We are currently in the development phase and working on our pilot. This is footage of Mike Pugh describing Jimmy and Lucas’s plan to camp out at the skate park to celebrate Lucas’s 8th birthday.

What are some things one may experience when getting off of & recovering from an addiction to methamphetamine?

DRUG ADDICTION REHAB 2 Comments »

It’s very painful to look at how this drug has negatively impacted everyone in the addict’s circle of friends and family. I’m feeling that recovery will be both challenging and rewarding for the crystal meth addict. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience, strength and hope.
