I haven't posted on here in ages but I do read the comments every few days. I read mostly the political bull because I am still not absolutely sure how I will vote. I am a republican but I don't always vote that way. I vote for the candidate that I think will do the most good for this country. I am still trying to sort through all the issues because I think it is a wonderfull thing to have the right to vote but I also think it is a responsibility to be an informed voter.
with that being said I have to tell you all alittle story.
I have three generations living in my house. my husband is in another state working because the plant he worked at here was closed down in 2 days and he has to work. So not only do I have a housefull to feed but we are supporting 2 households in 2 states. hubby and I pay for all our Grandchildrens medical needs out of our pocket. We are not rich but we do work and they have no medical insurance. Daughters employer only gives her 30 hours so that they don't have to carry insurance. I only go to town once a month to pay bills , doctor visits and grocery shop.
I went to town yesterday for my monthly errands. I shop at a grocery store that is not in the best part of town because they have the best prices. it is in a low income neighborhood so they have some really good deals which is what I need to surrvive.
As I was shopping I was following 2 women pulling 3 shopping carts like a train. They were loaded down with food. I kept thinking to myself "I wouldn't want to pay their bill"! When I finally got done and went to the register they were in front of me in line. As I was waiting the checker started asking them how many people were in their family? the answer was eight. Then she asked how long will this last you and they said about 2 weeks. The checker then says you must have a darn good job! They replied WE DON'T HAVE TO WORK WE GET FOOD STAMPS! Then they proceeded to tell this checker how they and all their friends have never ever voted in their lives but they will be voting this year. The checker trying to make conversation then asked why this year and the one womans reply was because Barack is running and we have to make sure he gets in so that we don't ever have to work!
I realize there are some people who feel this way but are they not smart enough to keep it to themselves?
By the way these were woman in their 30"s not young girls! They spent 459.00! I spent 199.00 and what I bought will last our household a month!
I'm sorry to be so long winded, I was just really irritated with the things they were saying.
Howard stearn needs to go to this neighborhood and I bet they would get the same response as in Harlem!
