^Totally agree with that horse..Good that you keep things healthy for your family ...
I recently talked to a guy who is on 100% government disability. He asked if I had any handy man jobs he could do for me. I told him I had about 10 dead treees that needed to be cut down. he says "Oh, i do that all the time, and I will cut the trees up and stack the wood for firewood or else I will load the wood on my truck and haul it off for you"...Yes, he has a handicapped plate on his truck...hahahahaha

Re: Buying soda pop with food stamps

huh...me and my wife have both been on unemployment...she throws resumes out every fukin day and gets not a call back...i have tried to get into a coulple different lines of work without any luck. to get into the whole story would use to much computer space, but those that have been around me for awhile know that i've had a good career and its afforded me alot. now...that industry is in the toilet and i'm having a hartd time getting going. all our saving is gone from try to keep our house, ect. foclosure papers came in the mail this weekend and i'm going to jump into a job and do whatever shadyass shyt i have to do to save my house (if in michigan, dont go car shopping)...but...we are on foodstamps. just got on them after the wifes unemployment ran out. we get 500 a month....yea....that goes real far in the ""fresh food, fruit and vegtable" section of the store. do you poeple not shop? the healthy foods are the most expensive!! if your going to limit these people too "healty foods" only, then you'll be increasing the amounts you dole out for them to live....not everyone WANTS your fukin handouts guys....most peolpe around here hides when they use their cards (called bridge cards, they work like a foodstamp credit card)...bottom line, if i want to buy my kid a fukin pop, so the fuk what. now...the idea about the "generic" food products...well...thats how people on foodstamps stretcvh them out. not everyone goes in and buys the kraft cheese guys...most of us buy the store brand so we can stretch our whoping 500bucks out as far as we can...(you also cannot buy any "feminine products", toilet paper, napkins, ect.....only food items)

Yep, I understand where youre coming from daved. Nothing wrong with an occasional pop for the kiddos. And ive known lots of good folks who had to get foodstamps to tide them over between jobs. Probably why its called a "bridge"... Maybe people can get some sweets and stuff with them, just not go crazy living on pure garbage. Some people seriously think a nutritious breakfast is pop tarts

i'm sure there's plenty of people that do feed their kids crap. i'm not one of them...matter of fact, alot of the folks in this area aint one of them either...but as i said...i could understand why they do...a pack of poptarts, genaric, is 1.59 for 8. thats 19.8 cents a tart. thats .39 cents a package....i cant gegt a bowl of wheeties for that!!! i'm not gonna lie...i got a 15yr old daughter that takes 1.5hrs to get ready for school!! her bus comes at 6:30...she gets up at 5am....50% of the time she grabs a pop tart on the way out the door...she knows i'm not happy wiht that, but whatever....gert your fukin homework done, keep away from the penisis, stoay off drugs and we'll deal wiht your fukin nutrition later.
