I h...I agree with most of the content in this blog. I have been a food stamp recipient and understand both sides of the debate. I am the oldest of 7 children, we grew up in a 2 bedroom mobile home, my mother stayed at home, and NEVER used any type of assistance. On the other hand, I have almost 5 children (the 5th being a HUGE surprise) and have been married for 10 years. The company that my husband worked for closed its doors last April. Since then, he has taken 2 temporary jobs, applied to over 250 places, gone to countless interviews and is now delivering pizza. We are on foodstamps, and I am the embarrassed one who slips the card discreetly through the machine. It is embarrassing to enter DFS and have them scrutinize me for my family size versus income. We did not plan that and had more then enough when the company was open. I agree that there are those who need it and those who abuse it. I fear that we may not be able to survive without them. This year alone, we lost our house, van, and all utilities. It is like we are Amish with Food Stamps. My frustration is this: there are programs to assist with childcare, housing, utilities, and other things IF you are single. We do not qualify for those things. Just last week, I traded milk & eggs for toilet paper. Food is all that we can have. AND when we become homeless, which in inevitable if jobs are not created, then we lose those! Something has to give. I think we need to get back to basics, provide only necessary staples, hygiene products and toiletries, and "teach a man to fish." And then LET him fish!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2091176522224122927.post-28444734758719685332010-06-30T16:47:44.922-04:002010-06-30T16:47:44.922-04:00This would have been a cool memorable event that w...This would have been a cool memorable event that would be a notch above typical tourist treatment, but it certainly sounds like a token gesture to reach out to a group that was not perceived to have much influence.

They are very nice in taking your order, your money, and then asking you to pull over and they will bring your order out. Now this happens all the time, not just with the mad lunch hour rush. My thing is, ask me if I would like to wait, before you take my money,. Now you got me committed without my permission. Oh and don't ask for your money back, you still gotta wait. Don't go inside to speak with the manager, she's busy, you still gotta wait.

No, it's not because you haven't found a treasure trove of information about Atlantic Beach and Punk's Patio (and maybe even a few pictures) for me, or that your blogs have become less scintillating (loved the latest brown bloggers at the White House and even the small slice-of-life commentary on Chick-fil-A).<br /> <br />So, what's the problem? You haven't been all over the Alvin Greene story! Could there be more fertile ground for your plow? Nope. Come on Ms. T.

But for headway to have been made with regard to the White House fostering a new relationship with the brown blogger community, I believe everyone invited should have been privy to the topic for the meeting so we could have had a more contructive discourse. It would have been nice to receive a formal email or letter from the new media team confirming our invitation and outlining the agenda.<br /><br />Additionally, a proper tour of the actual White House and a choreographed photo op would have cemented a positive first impression for me. **bummed iim not showing in the group photo**<br /><br />All and all a step in the right direction and next time it will be better. <br /><br />Thx for speaking on it!Trudyhttp://www.youngblackandmotivated.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2091176522224122927.post-89490211645370805112010-06-23T09:07:11.858-04:002010-06-23T09:07:11.858-04:00Great Post!

If you are an avid reader that flows into your communication and writing skills and those skills are essential especially in the information world we live in. We've got teenagers how are photo addicts and just flip through magazines looking at pictures not pulling forth new nuggets of information to enrich their lives or the lives of those around them. Folks are getting stuck on short cuts and to me a Vook sounds like another short cut that cuts into the value one gets from actually reading... but Ms. Rachel @vooktv I will check out your links before I make my final assessment of vook.

The problem is way more complex than getting a college degree. She did everyone a disservice to oversimplify the issue and blame the victim for the condition that they are in.

I promise you, men are not just waiting for her to be free so they can snap her up. Perhaps that would have been the case 30 years ago... but not today. When you are in your little married cubby-hole, you are clueless as to what is going on in the single world. <br /><br />Furthermore, this we can 'have our cake and eat it too' business has put the female gender in a precarious predicament. That's why we are expected to do and give so much... that's why the men aren't expected to do nearly as much... because we have taken it upon ourselves to do our jobs and theirs. This predicament is completely self-induced. <br /><br />Also, ask her to take assessment of the women she knows who are over 45 and who have never been married. Ask them how many think they will actually 'get' married. Most are hopeful that they will get married, but have accepted that they are single and trying to make the best of it.That Teowonna!https://www.blogger.com/profile/14845824638959481371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2091176522224122927.post-77163144170528222772010-06-09T09:54:19.351-04:002010-06-09T09:54:19.351-04:00The author of this blog assumes that being educate...The author of this blog assumes that being educated and 45 decreases your chance of getting married because what?????. That of course in my opinion is faulty thinking. Personally, I would rather earn an education and become independent before I add anyone to my equation. It's far more important to be happy with who you are before you can make anyone else happy. Not to say that the young uneducated woman who chose to get married early and had 2.5 children and has now reached 45 years of age will be unhappy. But let’s take pride in knowing that women now have the choice to make contributions aside from children. We can have our cake and eat it too. I don't know about you, but at 53 I still feel that I could attract a man, but Oooops, I only have 2 degrees and 3 children.
