I say all the time how expensive it is to be poor now!! You kinda need a phone; you might find a cheap car but the insurance will be $$; i can barely leave my house without getting on a toll road; you might find a cheap apartment but the rent will include $200 in fees. Every interaction is designed to be profitable for someone and we’re losing.

Agree. I don’t understand following a person instead of a topic. I did follow a few bars, restaurants, etc. to see happy hours info.

Check out vote411.org

Worst part for me was when the rewards app at the tea shop wouldn’t work.
- Comment on When baking, if your oven can't reach the temperature stated in the recipe, do you then just adjust for time? 1 month ago:
Could you add a small wireless fan to circulate air and make better use of the heat you have? Sort of a DIY convection?

There are so many songs that refer to gypsy. I’m not sure if I’m supposed to sing along or not.

Somewhere along the way that became southern engineering. My mom lived in Florida for awhile so it was a good dig at both the locals and the duct tape crowd -though i grew up repairing everything with duct tape and bailing wire. My husband is an engineer - right tool for the job guy. I’m like, "pass me that mallet and a wire hanger.)

I never thought of it as lazy, just kids that gather and maybe cause a little mischief, especially during school breaks.

My family is pretty liberal. Despite that i had a couple of words that i grew up hearing and didn’t realize that they meant until i was an adult. When you know better you do better.
To jew someone down when negotiating a price was one. It was just a word and i didn’t understand it until i thought about spelling it and realized. Yes, I’m dumb.
I work with kids and i often call them squirrels, monkeys, octopus, big dog, etc. i mean it as endearing and didn’t realize that it could be offensive, especially monkey racially.
My grandma worked at a convenience store in very racially mixed, very low income area. She referred to all of the kids as porch monkeys. I thought nothing of it but now realize it can be racially offensive. In her defense, it was a time when kids were sent outside morning to evening and often gathered on the porches of a free homes.

- Comment on What is lunch like in exclusive private schools for rich kids? 1 month ago:
Our schools have had that off and on. Seems like they start it and then someone decides it’s against usda so it disappears and then comes back the next year.
- Comment on What is lunch like in exclusive private schools for rich kids? 1 month ago:
My kids took tae kwon do with some kids who went to a nice private school - not billionaire money, but known to be very nice. The thing that was really impressive to me was that they had a fruit cart that sat out all day and kids could go get a piece of fruit anytime they wanted. It seems so simple but that idea of stopping to grab a pear between classes blew my mind.
