I'm below poverty level over socioeconomic cliff where we're glad to eat. My SS retirement is below avg. Soros never paid activists diddlysquat My snap average was $3.08 per meal but was DOGEd by a fake trillionaire. I'm a Cajun so can survive in the marsh with a pocket knife so I'm fine. Cookie?

If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a million times. “Oh look, I lost 5 pounds. I deserve some ice cream.” “Dammit! I gained 10 pounds. Might as well have some ice cream.” Now please excuse me, it’s lunchtime.

Me: "I have a lot of work to do. I should have a cider first." Me: "This is hard work. I should take a cider break." Me: "That was a lot of work. It's cider time."

I can see it now: You open a snack shop called **** Happens. P.S. True story: there used to be a store near Dodger Stadium called the Phuh King Market.

Good: the snack is a reward. Bad: the snack is to cheer you up. Makes perfect sense. Win-win.
