You do know, and I could be mistaken, that the Snap allocation is for the month, not the week, right. So is the website quoting a SNAP budget of 188/ week? Because that would be on the very high end of it and makes the meal plans unrealistic for people living in most states (I believe the amount varies state to state)

I honestly think you're on to something regarding the overall health of later generations compared to older generations and the change in food trends. So many of my friends in the early 30's are experiencing health problems that there parents didn't face until their 50's. There's more going on than just people being…

I'm not judging, but I have to point out that Spam is one of the worst things a person can eat and supports the view that poor people eat poorly.

What part of Europe? Is there any chance you'll be able to do any shopping in Europe? I can't think of good places in New York, but in Copenhagen and many places in Germany, the vintage is better than most of the stuff I find stateside, especially Copenhagen. I'm talking furs, aged leathers, and great dresses. Just a…

If you're in the New York area and have zero experience to put on your resume, I would recommend you look into this program. I believe they even pay a small stipend during the training program

Prison phone calls can and often are prohibitively expensive with rates sometimes going as high as $1 per minute. And that is what the person accepting the call has to pay as calls from prison are collect. This punishes the family of the prisoner not the prisoner who actually committed a crime. http://money.cnn.com/201…

I have a brother that I have had the "pleasure" of visiting in two different prisons, including Rikers and I have to agree, the visitors are often penalized as much as the inmates. On Rikers, I had a guard question the small pendant that I wear around my neck. I told her it was a stylized cross and she looked at me…

BET = the bastard child of Viacom.

You want to hear something else creepy? My boyfriend and I have never listed our relationship on Facebook either. But I got a pop-up message that said "Mr. Stormy Weather has added 28 new friends, do you know any of them" and had a picture of one the girls he friended. It was like, FB was trying to make me jealous.

True story: I owe Sally Mae and Capital One a bunch of money. I actually made attempts to pay both back, but when it's a choice between not starving and them, food always wins.

My main problem with the "paleo" diet is that the true diet from that time was varied and very much based on what was around. So there were groups of people that ate legumes and grains if and when it was in their area. Likewise, there are groups that ate diary and dairy products if they had milk bearing animals. Call…

Really?! My disdain for that borough has lessened, but just a bit

Spike Lee was actually born in Atlanta and lives in Brooklyn. As a former Brooklynite, I felt the need to correct the Bronx reference because the Bronx sucks way too much to birth someone as cool as Spike Lee. That is all

Go to Loehmans or Macy's. Both have really nice suits and even the nicest ones rarely cost more than $200, and that for a designer suit in a wool blend

I certainly am and very giddy that someone actually remembered me =) Thanks for the recommendations, I've been sort of lost since the transition

I don't think so if you consider the likelihood that her mother was friends with a larger community of anti-vaxxers who failed to vaccinate their children as well.

I am not ashamed to admit that that was exactly where my mind went and I would love to try it out ;-)

Thank you! Pinterest is a visual bookmarking system and if you deal in visual (fashion, home decor, crafts) it is great. But I hate how so many businesses are either copying Pinterest's design for non visual based products or starting a Pinterest board without really understanding how it works.

I have to respond since you keep asking the same type of questions throughout this conversation.

And like I said in another post, Frozen is a rip off of H.C. Anderson's story, The Snow Queen.
