Lets say you do bring home 95 in cash on any given night you work. If you worked 5 nights a week thats 475 take home a week. IF you worked 40 hrs a week thats over 11.00 an hour.

True...but you are taxed on more than the money you make, which reeks of BS!

And...if we made 95 dollars every night everyone would do it...many nights are 30$, and come October Ill be on unemployment. (season will be out)

I hate that the elderly just don't seem to get any breaks..For some its meds or meals.

this also makes me sad, my mom is 81, legally blind, has had 7 femural bypasses, breast cancer, thyroid surgery, and the list goes on, she needs every break she can get

That is sad, elderly on fixed income, need and deserve every break they can get. Meals on wheels can be a wonderful program though and the one that I know of has wonderful food. However, there is a "suggested donaton of 3.50" and many willingly pay this because they can also get extra meals to put in the refrig. because cooking is simply no longer an option. But, too often this is the only social interaction many elderly get on a daily basis.
