Twelve days into the month and he’s used up his card.

Springfield,Mass. The heroin capital of New England.

[MrNeutron1962]

No, it is about 10 minutes from Connecticut, just down I-91.

How true.

My kids work in a supermarket. Who are the worst customers? You can guess.

At least my kids are getting a lesson in the ways of the world.

I see now that you can drive the entire width of Massachusetts on I-91 in a mere 72 miles or 1 hour 10 minutes. I had no idea that Springfield is on the south side.

I guess it is still a little longer than driving through West Virginia on I-70 in our neck of the woods.

[Vermont Lt]

About 5 miles from CT. And 30-40 to New York.

my refrigerator was chasing me up the road

At least you weren't being chased by mannequins...

Thank goodness EBT doesn’t cover ammo!

[Kenny Bunk]

.....the people that write these headlines we see sometimes?...

Don't be so picky. The meaning is quite clear. A $14 Bill could not cover a man from Springfield. Meanwhile, a clerk was nearly killed by an enraged EBT Card.

Book'im Dano. Ellipsis 5-OH.

And like Travis McGee says////// What happens when the EBT cards just show a blinking $00.00
