School Closings

Be real. You have two choices. Eat what you have? Refuse to eat because you worry about the temperature?

We heard lots of opinions on this and overall I think it’s good to talk about these things and hear other opinions.  Thanks, @rps

The local school wherey wife is a school nurse is 100% free lunches.  The churches work together, (which is more of a miracle than I like to admit), to send backpacks home with many of them.  We used to drop off christmas groceries that included turkeys etc., but stopped because we discovered that most of those types of foods were left to rot and they had zero idea what to do with it.  A local grocery store went out of business because the good food stuff they sold at a decent price was ignored for packaged chips etc. from Dollar General.  I would  love to have a way that people would have to prove they had a clue before being allowed to reproduce.

I have always asked the same question here as the wic kids are dropped off by people in Yukons but can't feed their kids???

For some people feeding the kids is not tops on their priority list, so people in the community have to help out.

And if a doctor certified him 100% disabled....and he isn't.....then that should fall on the doctors head.    

Touchy one here. If he is trying hard to get the doctor to declare him disabled, then it’s his problem, not the doctors.

School where my daughter teaches is 100% free lunch and breakfast, she says they throw a lot of food away because the kids won't eat foods provided, applesauce comes to mind. Kids must not be that hungry. Look around at preteen and  teenage obesity, lot more kids being overfed than other wise. Where kids are starving, it is much more likely neglect than poverty; poor parents get hungry enough to find food by any means- even work, neglectful parents are probably neither hungry nor poor by world standards simply because we in the USA have been giving them and their antecedents  free lunches for several generations. They are conditioned and trained to shirk responsibility. 

But, the only way to catch those few that are needy is to use blanket coverage, other wise the charity/wefare will end up in the hands of the opportunists.

Oh BS!   Doctors get paid the big bucks because they are supposed to be smart. 

You can't convince me that a powerhead is blown when it isn't.   

But I kinda understand, because occasionally I'll have someone bring in a motor and claim that "something just ain't right" and try as I may I can't find a single thing wrong with it.  I've found that it works better to do SOMETHING, even though it's totally unrelated to the issue they are claiming, than it is to say "Look dude, I think you're imagining things because I don't see anything wrong and I can't make it do what you're saying it does".  Then a week or so later they'll call or stop by and say..... Whatever you did fixed it.  🙄   

I totally gave the motors owner a placebo 😅   But I would never say "yep your right, SHE'S BLOWN" and offer them 200.00 for it. 🙄
