we have now been told we can get food stamps..but since they took 2 friggen months to make this rule we get a lump sum of $800 and then $460 every month..we have eaten through my bucket stash since i have been without work but now i can replace it and add to it uumm considerably..so this is a really good thing and i am waiting for a backround check on a job which should be here in the next couple days..i like the idea of spending state money for my stash..i mean even if we spend 400 bucks on filling our fridge and pantry i still have 400 to work with for the buckets..got to love it!!
