I'm
one who believe charity begins at home. I try my darnedest to buy and
give local.
Idaho
is a POOR state.
I was trying to find out the stats on needy in my local county.
Couldn't find anythings.
But
I know there is a lot of poor people.
Our
local food bank is part of the COMMUNITY ACTION CENTER and
we have such a demand for it and it difficult to maintain it.
The
other day I was in there with my client/friend Carrie. There wasn't
much on the pantry shelves at all. The two ladies in there that day
put a plead out on there person face-book page, for donations.
Anther
lady challenge the people in community to bread bake off.
During
2015 I been take a letter of the alphabet each pay period and
purchase around $15 and donate the items to our local food bank or
the hope house which usual give away non food items.
I
bought a case of 30 toilet paper and took it out to the Hope House.
Glad I could give. It makes me happy to help when I can.
There
planning to do some type of sack lunch program though out the summer
months. I believe on Tuesday. I told them I would purchase some small
pouches of juice and give to them. That will cover the letter “J”.
But
this Saturday I'll be getting paid and Monday I will pick up
individual items and donate them to our local food bank. Isn't “I”
for individual.
Question
time...people here seem to elected people who cut any social net
programs...and why is that?
I
hear grumbling on mainly the federal government and taxes. I don't
what these
people are thinking.
We
need a tax structure. Confession time...I'm one who doesn't care
for our present system of taxes.
But
I know taxes are necessary to maintain and take care of civilize. But
with the resent BUDGET cut
who will it hurt.
Opinion
time...We spend way to much on the military. Wake
up time the veteran department is complete separate department then
the military.
And
most conservative republican votes to slash and veteran benefits.
It
been a while since I got to go to one of my T.O.P.S meeting. I weight
in and lost a little over pound.
Well
I need a support group and the scales makes me accountable for my
choices in my health.
We're
doing a new contest that should help us stay focus. From top of my
head...No white flour or white sugar for any of the three meals. Well
for breakfast I had a pancake.
64
oz water. Not even close
Walk
for half an hour. Short by 20 minutes
Nothing
to eat after 7 in the evening. So far so good.
My
sheet to keep track is up stairs.
Coffee
is on
you're a very generous person. most of us are so busy running around in circles that we forget to help the less fortunate. i gave a few dollars to drunk in front of the liquor store yesterday.
