Posted by just curious on September 10, 2005 at 13:06:18 from (82.114.69.18):

Lots of times I would be mowing hay for a commercial hay man or working cattle for a ranch and the hunger pains would hit, sometimes I would go the whole day just to try to keep from eating one but, ya’ll know how a youngun is, the hunger pain just override the basic desire to eat and you have to choke it down to keep from getting so hungry you get nervous from not eating, well I hope that I’m not the only one too notice this but I was in the grocery store sometime back and I seen a fella (late 20’s or early 30’s) getting groceries and his wife asked him if they should get a couple of t-bones for lunch, curious I asked the man where he worked at and he said he was disabled,on food stamps,so was his wife(disabled)I asked him how it happened and he didn’t remember, I thought to myself if I was disabled I think I would remember how I got that way, then I thought to myself again maybe it is none of my business, then I noticed when I left the store the guy carrying a big sack of dog food on one shoulder and toting a 30 pack of beer under the other arm leading around a 5 or 6 year old boy with the same hand that he had the beer under putting it in a very new truck 4x4 that is, seems to me this just wasn’t right then I thought well this is America and people will do what they can to get by, then I thought to myself how many times have me and the wife been to the store and had to buy bologna because we didn’t have the money to buy the good stuff like steak,because we had bills to pay,I’ve worked everyday since I was 16 for a pay check and 3 rugrat’s to raise but, I have not ever asked for anything from the govt. I’m sure some people need help but I still believe some are just phonies, when I left I thought again to myself wish I had that truck he was driving probably couldn’t afford the insurance though.

SO THE QUESTION IS

How many others are out there that have to eat a bologna sandwich for lunch and-or have seen this or have had it happen to them because the better half has to work just curious.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point ... [Read Article]
