4. The ad under your poll is "struggling to lose weight?"

LOL - we who are too poor to help pay for this wonderful place get the added entertainment from the ads. Let it be known I do click on them and hang around a couple of minutes for Skinner and all.

7. Shotgun borscht

[City of Mills]

9. Ramen cup o' noodles, 6 pack $2.00

Lunch for a week...not much nutrition and too much salt but after a few weeks you don't even notice your stomach growling anymore.

Edit to add: I'm not a retiree nor will I ever be one. 34 year old who's never planned or expected to retire, seems about as likely as playing a harp on a cloud after I die.

12. actually I'm eating beans with ham, fried potatos plus mac and cheeze

As close as I can get to the perfect meal, with or without the ham in the beans too. The secret to a good pot of beans is putting a couple tablespoons of butter in them while they're cooking.

But I do get what you're getting at Bluebear and it sucks that we have to go through this bullshit when many of us have known for 40 years what was coming down the pike but no one, or maybe I should just say, not enough, believed us. I'm old and getting more angry with each passing day

17. My wife and I have been buying stuff for my parents and sending it

to them. Stuff like pasta, soup, stuff that can last in a pantry. We don't even talk about it, but I know they appreciate it. My father is a proud guy.
