It’s ironic - I have Internet now but ran out of heating fuel this evening. We haven’t paid off the last delivery completely and so.... but Internet and cable will be the next thing, I’m sure.
Right now, we’re struggling. I’m in school, which, when I’m done will double my earning potential. But school has to be paid for. And I have to drive an hour one way to get there (no classes closer for this) so I’m spending way more in gas each week. And because I’m in school FT, I am able to work less. H’s OT has been cut back to nothing. Now is the heating season. Christmas is a few weeks away. DS#2 has already outgrown his sneakers from the beginning of school in August. We brought the leftover turkey home from my mom’s, we’ve eaten it every day since, tonight we had turkey tacos and now the carcass is in the stewpot making stock and I figure I can get 2, possibly 3 meals out of it this week!
“He didn’t cite any difference between those who are truly needy and those who mooch. I trust His judgment in those matters because in essence the mooches are stealing from the truly needy. I’d hate to be on of those mooches on Judgment Day.”
Well said! :)
“...if we only had a socialist prez like hillary...”
You mean the one that wants to “take things away from us...for the Common Good?” LOL! I know. She is the stuff of nightmares, no doubt!
I didn’t think that you were picking on the SVdP Society. I just wanted to point out that around here (Ohio), the Society gives food and/or financial assistance only to those who are truly needy. The conference at my parish has a small food pantry where it stores the food that it gives away but we don’t stockpile huge stores of food, only what we would be giving to clients in the immediate future. I don’t know why the Society up in Madison would need a larger food pantry unless it is randomly giving away food to anyone who asks for it. I hope it isn’t operating like one of those food banks that opens it doors to the public and has long lines of people queuing up to get free food.

‘Madistan’ is on the list of Sanctuary Cities. That means, no one asks you for “your papers” in any way, shape or form. Here are the others. I’m betting that Food Pantries are Big Business for them, as well.
