RE: Excerpts from Blogosphere, I

So, isnt the problem with the bucket, and not the squirrels? If the bucket full of indulgence is taken away, the squirrels will definetely find a way to eat...

RE: Excerpts from Blogosphere, I

I will look, I am just looking at the chart in this manual. It is saying the poverty level for a family of 10 is $88,980. Add three peeps to that. Perhaps she gets extra stuff because it is such a rare thing to have someone with a family of 13. But ultimately, all the goverment aids plus whatever income she has brings her up or near the limit. Or, maybe the lady meant that she nets that much in all benefits for a year? I can ask.

Daycare seems to be one of the biggest expenditures for most families, and that is covered by government also.

RE: Excerpts from Blogosphere, I

oh, and I forgot, one of the biggest ones of all, child support from all the 12 fathers.

RE: Excerpts from Blogosphere, I

$7,415 per month. Thats just for child assistance. Doesnt include foodstamps, WIC, free bus transportation, free medical expenses, Medicaid, Section 8 Housing allowance, and utility assistance.

Hi Dead

The benefit I was talking about is called TANF.

The chart only goes up to a family of 10, but this woman had 12 children, plus herself. Not sure if you saw, but I made a correction to my #, as I said per/month when I meant, per year.

One of the ladies who instructed the class worked her case and she said the woman was getting 12,000 a month, which equates to the 120,000 a year for child assistance alone.

The table shows the poverty level for a family of 10 being $7,415 and says to add 625 a month per each person over that. so, 12 kids plus herself= 111,420. Was a few thousand off, but, I think you got the jist

RE: Wine & Journey (3)---Honey

yes, it was a compliment

RE: Wine & Journey (3)---Honey

Miss Em- do you really drink apple cider vinegar?

I can't bear the smell of vinegar, I gag instantly, even the apple cider kind...my mom used to use it to clean the coffee pot when I was little, and it made the whole house smell all day

Hi Janmei

As always, love your writing. You are very good at making poetic metaphors.....and, even though that other guy didnt really understand your blog, I actually thought the information he wrote was intersting, because I have been looking to explore different types of teas and wines

RE: Excerpts from Blogosphere, I

correction, I meant 120,000 a year

RE: To all the guys: Would you travel to meet your spe

joselyne- I am wondering why this is on your mind so much.....do you want a man to travel to meet you? I wonder because you asked this last month in a blog? Or is it a way to find the ones who will?

Bald men with saucer-shaped heads

perhaps something charitable can come of this blog....maybe similar to 'locks of love' you could start a business called 'pits of love'

Bald men with saucer-shaped heads

perhaps mike is standing in his back yard as we speak practicing his armpit hair ritual to find his mojo again. Im sure he will be back

Bald men with saucer-shaped heads

CT I think your hair can keep you plenty warm. Does your armpit hair look similar?

Bald men with saucer-shaped heads

I have had no encounter yet with adel. Would be curious to hear his thoughts

Bald men with saucer-shaped heads

Yes, adel has been checking out my picture-less profile a few times, I am curious if he is lurking backstage?

Bald men with saucer-shaped heads

alf- yes, I know. I was referring to CT comment on other blog about how he always pictures 10k wearing a wig

Bald men with saucer-shaped heads

well yes then I should get any royalties associated with maup's replica of my blog

maybe he is out buying wigs. Do you have any advice for him?

Bald men with saucer-shaped heads

canuck- I hope you realize this was all a joke, everyone is special in their own way, and baldness doesnt dictate who you are as a person

Bald men with saucer-shaped heads

alf- you are totally right....if you stare hard enough at the picture you can actually see a scary face in there

Bald men with saucer-shaped heads

well, for all we know you could cross dress in your spare time

Bald men with saucer-shaped heads

Is that a comb-over of your hair or a wig?

Bald men with saucer-shaped heads

CT, you are too much! Cousin IT LOL

Bald men with saucer-shaped heads

this was geared more towards those who have a half-mullet, or, hair growth only on the lower portion of their head. Shaved heads can feel good to run your hands across, as long as there is some hair there

Bald men with saucer-shaped heads

Miss V, yes CT is going to use me as a diversion to take the heat of of him

I forgot about Donald Trump. I think even with no hair hes kind of repulsive. Sad that one of the smartest money makers around cannot figure out how to do his hair.

Oh, I didnt realize Mr. Pitts was bald, yes shaved heads are different than pattern balding. He is attractive.

Oh Telly from Sesame street?

Bald men with saucer-shaped heads

alf-

well, you seem to pull it off.... I can't see from the top, but as long as you dont have the 3 inch bald circle on top, I think its okay

Bald men with saucer-shaped heads

Thanks CT, you are flattering me too much

But it made me think of something else, that only certain women can also pull of very short hairdo's.....like, if I shaved my head I'm pretty sure I'd look like Sinead O'connor.

I suppose it is unfortunate for some men that they cannot wear weaves or wigs.....I think I have only met two men in my life who can pull of a completely bald head and still look good.

Then you have those that shave it everyday and oil their head That seems like a lot of maintenence.

RE: I Hope You all know I'm always for you

miss meloddy, you are quite the sleuth

at first I thought his profile pic was Adam sandler

RE: Wine & Journey (2)---Vinegar

Janmei-

I havent seen any rumors about you....

Beer and Wine are acquired tastes, and everything is okay in moderation. I am sorry to hear about your brother, also.

RE: miss her

John....I really do have faith that one day you will wake up in the morning and say to yourself, "self, I am creating all these negative situations for myself, and I need to stop pitying myself"

Honestly....Im trying to plant the seed, hopefully one day it will grow.

RE: The Internet is Full of It...

Hi Alexi--

I have pondered this myself at one time...and came to the conclusion that there are definetely random acts of kindness that are 'selfless'.........

Much in the same manner that your intuition guides you, sometimes you just 'do' without thinking or premeditating......

I know I have....You see someone in need, and your instincts tell you to help them, before you even have a chance to give a thought to how you will earn a 'reward' from this behavior.

and giving anonymously is probably one of the most contrived ways to give....I think it screams self importance much more than someone giving openly....becuase if someone is giving anonymously, they probably have a heightened sense of self importance, or place such a stigma on having alot of money or whatever it is they are donating (usually anon donations are large sums of money or high dollar items)......making them in my mind, more materialistic, and somehow trying to lessen the guilt they feel for having so much money.

and the idea that chaos is the only way to have 'selfless' deeds to me is a warped theory, in the sense that I dont think one can directly link randomness with chaos...they are too entirely different concepts.....
