Just a taste of what you're missing: You know that "lady part" Oprah was so fond of discussing? Boo Boo calls it a "biscuit". When asked why, her mama explained that it "looks like a biscuit that you'd get at Hardee's". I wonder if Hardee's wanted to be name-checked like that :gasp:
Oh my I'm pretty sure mine doesn't look like a biscuit she might want to have that checked out!

I would comment but I am currently eating a hardee's biscuit! lol
You know the craziest thing was when I got pregnant all those years ago they had a school program, it was designed to help young parents finish high school. All it gave you was a bus pass and daycare for school...I tried to get into the program and didn't qualify. So they said oh but you can get medicaid, food stamps and afdc! Really?!? When I said no if I can't finish school I'll work they looked at me like I had 3 heads!!
I worked, sometimes 2 jobs...got my GED and never looked back. After my ex and I got together and had my youngest of my 2 I even got to do the stay at home mommy routine. They are 19 almost 20 and 17 now, both are pretty good kids or should I say men. And they are breaking the young parent cycle! Lol!!

Bigcat, yet another great statement about the backwards thinking of assistance programs...let's keep them dependent. Give them a hand out not a hand up!

I think a big reason the welfare system works the way it does, is because that's how it keeps itself going. They need to keep their customer base captive, ya know?
