Buy a box of food for $25 for the month, and specials for $18 or $17 for additional meat packages. Deliver the package(s) to your friend and the famil will not go hungry. This has been a godsend in the last year, and there are no questions or forms or qualificiations. The kids won't go hunry and your conscious will be clear. But, once your friend has the contact information about the program, you could encourage her to take advantage of the program without your support.

Along with the federal tax increase, my
state tax went up 30 cents per pack, so that is a total of 90 cents per pack or $9 a carton more.

The big deal is your federal government....
You're absolutely right. They have some identifiable information on file about citizens, so why would they need to change anything and put more restrictions in place? I'm more confused as to why US citizens don't ask why? If they've got everything on us, then what could possibly be the reason to do this?
Actually, has she applied for the federal loans?
I'm sorry, I went on my own rant about private loans! Has she applied for the federal loans? All you have to do for those is fill out a FAFSA and the school should tell you how much you can get. There are two types of federal student loans and you can qualify for one of them no matter how much money you make. Those usually cover tuition and sometimes books.
The private loans come in when the federal loans aren't enough (I'm attending a private college and the federal loans aren't enough). Good luck!
Federal law requires that any child who is
have an IEP designed. It is required also that it be reviewed at least annually, and there are very specific requirements about who must be invited and in attendance among other things. In our case, my child was initially diagnosed with moderate to severe autism, but on his last full evaluation (required to be done at least every three years) this was changed to Asperger's.
Same here. I served on Federal Jury once, so
when I get summons for local court, I put that down. Plus, since we had a car stolen, all my jewelry and clothing (we were moving at the time), and a son assaulted, I usually get turned down for county jury duty.
I did like serving that one time and would do it again, but if I didn't put down the above things and they found out, it would probably be a mistrial if they put me on an assault or theft jury.
federal withholding tables changed
I just thought I would give everybody a heads-up on the fact that the federal withholding tables have changed, so look for a decrease in your check if you are an employee. I get paid every Friday for one of my jobs and my net pay was much less than I expected. I checked with my boss to make sure our line totals were the same, and that is when she told me the tables had changed - so much so that she gasped. Those of you who are being paid every two weeks - brace yourself for a smaller check. If your gross income is about $1000 every 2 weeks, you'll have about $50 less in your pocket.
By my calculations, including my husband's income in the whole equation, the govt just decided to withhold in one year my son's community college tuition.
Federal laws require that students be educated....sm
on their level however it gets frustrating for parents when their child isn't "normal" and they have to fight with schools to get their child educated. It's crazy that your nephew was passed from school to school without being able to read. As a foster parent I had a prior foster child that came to me in the 5th grade but could really only read at a 1st grade level and was very behind in all subjects.... yet her report cards from her prior schools all gave her A's and B's and commented on what a wonderful student she was. I busted my butt working with the caseworkers to get her the extra assistance she needed to get caught up and teaching her how to work around her learning disabilities, which were diagnosed while she was with me. Did the school want to cooperate? No.... but all it took was one letter from an education attorney to get them to realize that we were going to force them to educate this child instead of passing her own without helping her and then they started working with us. Crazy thing is that the federal laws require it, provide the money for it but the schools don't want to deal with the paperwork or having to do it... and they prefer just changing grades for kids and passing them on instead of helping them. This sends these kids on the dead-end street because they eventually graduate without any skills and oftentimes it goes downhill from there.
When I was growing up we had 1 teacher to maybe 10 or 15 students, and the teachers had time to work with the kids individually as they needed it. Now the schools want to cram as many kids into a classroom as they can, don't give teachers any help and on top of that expect the teachers to spend money on supplies, yet my property taxes keep going up to pay for the schools and I'm in a growing area with new houses being slapped up faster than you can say your name.
It's wrong that the schools don't give a crap when a child isn't "normal" and they want to pass them on without helping them, and they expect the parents to bail them out. Sure as a parent I'm willing to do my part but I'm not going to spend time doing all of the education of a child regardless of whether they're biological or foster, especially if the school isn't trying to educate them during the day.
It's nice, but food prices insane and food is really bad,

My cat only eats dog food and won't eat cat food or even tuna.
LOL
I am using Angel Food Network for help with food (sm)
Being much more careful not to waste food. No more fast food. Soda only if bought in a two-liter bottle, not singles or fountain. Most of my money waste was spent on food.
Pet food recall -- dog food and cat food
http://us.iams.com/iams/en_US/jsp/IAMS_Page.jsp?pageID=PCA&articleID=300003
My dog loves coconut oil right off the spoon. Try the health food store. Sometimes in food store,
s
"Food stamps" now are paid on EBT cards - federal EBT cards which look the
have the option to have their pay on an EBT card as well.
She may well have been using her family's federal EBT card and working for the government for a living.
Or, if she is a foster parent, those children will receive state benefits and she could use an EBT card for food assistance.
Everything is not always what it appears to be. I'm sure you're a nice person, right?! See?! We wouldn't know any better if we believed the appearance you have given here! :)
Puppy eating cat food, cats eating puppy food...
So I have three cats and a five month old puppy.
Cats eat Felidae, Puppy eats Canidae... or at least that is how it is supposed to be.
Both species eat mainly dry, but puppy gets wet at night when she is in "her room" (kitties do not go in puppy's room at night).
I cannot keep kitties out of Candiae and I cannot keep puppy out of Felidae
Can I relax or is this going to hurt either of them?
Advice very much appreciated!
TIA
cat food
My dog eats the cat food all the time, no problems. I was actually told that when dogs are sick and won't eat it is good to give them cat food because it is so tasty to them. My cat also will eat the moist dog food with no problem. I wouldn't worry about it.
dry cat food
Please please educate yourself on your animal companion's needs when it comes to diet and nutrition, please read below article for some exceptional insight into our cats and their food requirements. This is only one site, but there are many more that support these facts.

I don't put anything on my food....
except maybe a little salt and butter on my veggies. No ketchup, no mustard, no mayo, no syrup on my pancakes, just a tiny bit of salad dressing to taste. Been that way my entire life.
Sorry. I was only looking for the food rec
and didn't see the sad stuff.
Red food dye #5 in the food. sm
Most dog foods have red food dye in them and many labs and lab mixes are allergic to red food dye. Try finding a food without the red food dye and give it a couple of weeks. You'll probably see a HUGE difference.

Cat food
Has anyone fed their cat Science Diet's CD dry food for FUS? My 8-year-old male, Sam, has been on this for about 5 years with no recurrence of FUS. To keep him away from any other type of food, I have fed the other two the same; however, we now are up to 6 cats, 4 males/2females, and it is getting too expensive. Thinking I could feed all of them a very good dry food and add some CD to Sam's, but cannot decide what would be a good choice.
Thank you.
I never put pet food out just to put out but
I was going to try to feed the Great Dane (she ran off before I could get outside). I am not really in country, have close neighbors but woods behind our homes and see deer and such in the neighborhood (out in my yard twice since 2004). There is a wildlife preserve a few streets away where the other animals seen including geese, deer and the coyotes. I just try to feed all animals who come in the yard-if they act friendly enough.
Food
Fish.....baked, fried, broiled, grilled....
Always have food with him.
I haven't been there since the 1980s, and even then the cheapest food we could find in a restaurant was about a $9 hamburger!
What is it with the food?
We got very nice gifts this year but also ended up with more food items than usual; Harry and David Moose Munch, Hickory Farms fudge, Harry and David truffles, Harry and David double chocolate cashews, homemade cookies, and a homemade carrot cake loaf! It is all really good, but I have a belly ache from eating all of this stuff. Not to mention I will surely pack on the pounds if I keep eating it. LOL
NS food sm
I thought most of the food was fine. You can choose what you'd like by going to their website. It's very easy, it keeps track of what you have and need to get still (like how many desserts, or lunches, etc) Believe it or not, their hambergers (IMO) were delicious!!! Good luck!! You will find yourself not able to eat all of what you are supposed. I liked NS, but it just got expensive for me (not really that bad, but I have a hubby and two kids and still needed to do grocercy shopping trips for them).

She could cook her host family a meal of foods common to America that they may be unfamiliar with.
This isn't as diverse but maybe as a reminder of her she could give them a state tree, state flower, or other from her hometown.

dog food
You are correct, the grocery store pet food is all pretty poor quality filled with carcinogens and unhealthy carbs and anything else in the slaughter house not fit for human consumption. Someone opened my eyes to these ingredients about 5 years ago and I was horrified. Google commercial pet food ingredients. I feed all my animals human grade holistic pet food, yes more expensive, but they eat less and have a lot less health problems eliminating expensive vet visits so in the long run it is cost effective. Some great ones are New Balance, Wellness, Innova, California Natural, Solid Gold to name a few. I consider myself an expert on this subject after educating myself after my beloved collie died of cancer, could kick myself because it never occurred to me to wonder what was in her food, just figured it was good, NOT! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. You are always so helpful in your tech answers, maybe I can help you in this one area. Good luck.
What food do you not like to eat?
This is the food that I refuse to eat:
Carbonated beverages
Mayo (Mayonnaise)
Tomatoes
Onion

Jalapeņos
Plain Milk (In cereal it is ok)
Bananas
Beer
champagne
soy milk

There is probably more, but this is what I can think of now.
Food Stamps
I just got back from the store and the lady in front of me had 2 small kids and paid with food stamps. When I was loading my groceries in my car, she was putting her children in car seats and driving a BRAND NEW CADILLIAC ESCALDE!! This thing was LOADED! Grrrrrrrr!
Maybe she was buying food for someone?
If your car is above a certain value, you don't qualify for food stamps.
She may have buying food for someone with their food stamps/food stamp card.
Ask your vet which food they ALL can eat. BTDT nm.

food stamps
The thing is that some people do abuse the system and always will. But I do think there are people who really need help sometimes.
how about chewing food?
or worse yet, drinking (slurping) quite rude, I think!
I was at all inclusive but had the food out from
there and what I had was delicious. One side trip we took was a trip up the river and a BBQ dinner in a cleared out space. I did not stay exclusively in the all inclusive, too much to see in the shopping, restaurants, etc. I really would go back again. That is 1 trip that I really loved.
It is probably food related.
Have you switched foods lately? Most gas is food related in dogs and cats. High quality can still give the toots.
My cat is in the ICU due to poisoned food.
My cat is in the hospital with an IV due to kidney failure. I have tried twice to call Menu Foods to find out about filing a claim to cover the vet bill, but no one has called back. My poor cat is the innocent and has to suffer at the hands of whoever put the poison in the wheat gluten. Has anyone who is experiencing this with their pet been able to get through? I'm heartbroken that I may lose her. Even though I have two dogs, the house seems lonely.
Poisoned Food
My heart aches for you. I hope your cat pulls through and you get the vet bills paid by the people responsible. This is just horrible. I am lucky, my furkid didn't eat any of the brands that were in question. I was so scared until I had gone over the list. We rescued our baby girl 4 years ago and she is like the baby of our home now. We think of her as one of our children (she acts like one of our children) I don't know what in the world I would do if we lost her. I would be sick. You will be in my prayers. I pray it the outcome is good. Bless the furry ones. :)
? for you, if not worm food, then what? sm
How exactly are you going to avoid becoming worm food. Are you not going to be buried...cremated and kept in a jar is the only thing I can think of I guess unless you are going to stuffed and stuck in the living room as decoration. The poster above is indeed correct that we all become worm food (unless of course you go with my stuffing idea). Regardless of religious beliefs, if your buried, it's going to happen.
Ps. I have not been hit by a lightening bolt yet so don't worry, although you might get some of my anti-christ cooties if you're not careful ROLF!
Pet Food Update
Just saw this on my internet start page and would like to share:
By ANDREW BRIDGES - Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON(AP) Recalled pet foods contained a chemical used to make plastics, but government tests failed to confirm the presence of rat poison, federal officials said Friday.
The Food and Drug Administration said it found melamine in samples of the Menu Foods pet food, as well as in wheat gluten used as an ingredient. Cornell University scientists also have found the chemical, also used as a fertilizer, in the urine of sick cats, as well as in the kidney of one cat that died after eating the company's wet food.
Menu Foods recalled 60 million containers of cat and dog food earlier this month after animals died of kidney failure after eating the Canadian company's products. It is not clear how many pets may have been poisoned by the apparently contaminated food, although anecdotal reports suggest hundreds if not thousands have died. The FDA alone has received more than 8,000 complaints.
The new finding comes a week after scientists at the New York State Food Laboratory identified a rat poison and cancer drug called aminopterin as the likely culprit. The FDA said it could not confirm that finding.
New York officials have detected melamine as well, though it's not clear how that chemical would have poisoned pets. It's typically used to produce plastic kitchen wares, though it's apparently used as a fertilizer in Asia, said Stephen F. Sundlof, director of the FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine.
The recall involved nearly 100 brands of "cuts and gravy" style dog and cat food made by Menu Foods. The recall covered products carrying names of major brand-name and private-label products sold throughout North America.
The apparently melamine-contaminated wheat gluten also was shipped to an unnamed company that manufactures dry pet food. The FDA is attempting to determine if that product, imported from China, was used to make any pet food, Sundlof said.
Food should be passed to the right, or
counter-clockwise, For additional information on dining etiquette, please consult Manners 2000 Volume I Social Graces and Table Manners Video.
Unfortunately veterinarians are not pet food--sm
experts, and neither are pet care industry workers. They, like doctors, suggest nutrician primarily from those companies that sponsor them, just like the pharmaceutical companies do with human medications. Vets are not nutritionists and they do not know everything either. If they are given a break on the cost of pet foods, of course they are going to suggest it to their patients. Do some research and you will find that Iams and Science Diet has had many complaints against them in the past, and you can read some of them right here with this posting. You are entitled to your opinion, of course, but personally, I would not feed this food to anyone or anything.
Same here; especially Paula's food...
I say to my husband it's no wonder she looks like that - look what she's making now. lol. I don't care for all that fat either. I looked up her recipes and found chicken pot pie, fried bisquits, deep fried turkey, fried cream corn!, deep fried cheesecake!, macaroni and cheese, fried empanadas with cheese dip! Do people down south really eat like that? I probably eat stuff like that twice a year.
FOOD IS NEEDED!
I volunteer at a food cupboard twice a month. Today I went in to fill requests for families in need, and the shelves of our little interfaith cupboard were nearly empty. It was a struggle to get together some basic items for four families.
This is a problem with food cupboards all over the country. At holiday times, food drives are held and shelves are full. Even during the school year, more donations come in as school and youth groups run food drives to help those in need. But during summer, donations slow to a trickle as people are busy with summertime activities or away on vacation. Food drives are forgotten, but people still need your help.
If you can, please consider donating to your local food cupboard. Anything you can give would be appreciated. Even a couple boxes of cereal or a jar of peanut butter can make a difference!
Dog food ingredients..sm
One of my dogs has a corn allergy - causes sneezing, wheezing, coughing, skin welts with itching. I also stay away from meat and poultry by-products. I used to order his food from Drs Foster and Smith. After a long search, I finally found a dog food I can buy at Tractor Supply that meets his needs, and they have a weight management formula too - he is about 10 pounds overweight.
LOL!! Should be dog food (not foot!!!) nm

party food
Ever had Apple/Cinnamon pizza? 1 can refrigerated cinnamon rolls, 1 can 21 oz apple pie filling, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 tblsp. melted butter. Spread c. roll dough on either baking stone, pizza pan, etc. make sure it is really together with no holes in it. bake at 400 degrees for 8 minutes. In the meantime, melt butter and mix butter, brown sugar with apple filling. take dough from oven, spread with filling, bake another 8 minutes. Let cool. Put icing from can of rolls in microwave for a few seconds to thin out a little. When pizza is cool, drizzle icing over top. This can be made with peaches, too. I always get rave reviews with it. Have fun!
What food could you eat every day of your life
and not tire of it? For me, green olives, totally addicted.
have fun with food and don't worry
they'll eat... I have a strange son who insists that he is never hungry (yet, he is always getting a snack and reminds me it's time to make dinner). Well, he is a quirky one.
