  1. What pisses me off more is that there is not a chance in hell that anything will be done to stop the fraud and abuse. All we can do is complain and pay attention to who we vote for in office, locally and nationally.

  3. I spoke to a local store when someone was using my brother's, who is a big POS, EBT card. I asked the cashier if she asked for his ID and she said the office that manages it said the store wasn't allowed to verify the identity of those using the card. The office said that if the person using it isn't the the same as the cardholder's name on the card then they must have permission from the cardholder to use the card. The office said if the store asked for ID to use the EBT card they could loose their ability to accept EBT cards for payment. And because the welfare system is big business most businesses don't want to chance loosing those customers. I have told this story several times. There is a lady who comes into the local grocery store where my mother works every month. She buys tuna on her EBT card and not the cheap canned stuff but the expensive kind in pouches. She brags it is for her cats and that she will continue to use her EBT to buy it until they allow her to buy cat food for her cats using her EBT card. And I am not talking about a few pouches but every pouch of regular tuna the store had. She does it every single month and we are all paying for her cat's food. WIC is different and is to help make sure children eat the right things and the right amounts. WIC has its problems too. The biggest problem is the WIC system authorizes way too much food for a child to eat. When I was a private in the Army we were approved for WIC as well as food stamps. I never took the food stamps but we did use WIC for a few months until we went overseas. He was born in January and came over in May. They expect a child to drink gallons upon gallons of milk as well as eat at least 30 pounds of cheese each month. And every item was the same, way too large of portions for the average child to eat. As far as those wearing jewelery you really can't judge people based upon that. Some people might have fake stuff or it might be hand downs from family. I do have an issue with those who buy authorized food using their EBT card then pull out wads of cash to pay for those time they can't buy on their EBT cards. I have seen it more times than I can count, max out their EBT card then use cash to buy junk food, sodas, alcohol and cigarettes. The system as a whole is broke. People are allowed to sit at home and collect a paycheck as long as they do not try to succeed in life. They are given just enough to keep them from losing hope. Personally, if you are collecting a government benefit you need to work. If nothing else pick up trash along side of the road for 2 hours a day or maybe answer information calls to government offices. But the worst thing is to pay people to sit around. And before any mother receives benefits for a child the child's father must be proven so he can replay the government for any support the child receives from the government. I am also a huge supporter of drug testing for those who are receiving any government benefits. If you do not want to submit to a drug test you should not be given any benefits. Most employers these days require them so why should the government be any different. The choice is up to those applying. And if they fail they loose benefits for one month, second offense they loose benefits for 6 months and third time they loose benefits for life. Millions of people live their day to day lives without using illegal drugs so it can't be that hard. And while we are at it, if you have had multiple kids and they have been taken you should be placed on semi permanent birth control until such time as you can prove you can support another child. And if the parents are not US citizens then the child should not be automatically a US citizen if they are born here. If one parent is a citizen then yes but not two, by default the child should take the mother's nationality. Enough of my rant. Dolomite

  4. In case anyone cares I just got my ammo from tds-us.com in today. I ordered it Friday morning so not too shabby for UPS, just 5 business days. All things considered I would order from them again, their website could use a little help but as long as they do what they say they will that doesn't really matter.

  5. A cigarette wil not ignite PGA. Only open flame would do that. I have not done many burn experiments with liquor. When you burn it the alcohol content will drop. The PGA we stock is 190 proof. A lot of what we sell I believe is used by bootleggers to make Apple Pie moonshine. Making that will drop the proof by about half. Most vodka is 80 proof. So pga is well over twice as potent. If i was desperate enough to drink it I would use a table spoon full in place of a shot.. I have a leaker in the warehouse I use to clean drip marks on the floor left by the forklifts.

  7. Well, I unfortunately do have man-boobs. Equally as unfortunate, they didn't seem to help me in the pre-screening process. No free gummint cheese for me.

  9. Dude, don't get me started. I waited behind a woman the other day wearing all kinds of jewelry and fancy clothes, while the cashier separated out what could be paid for with her wic voucher. Then she continued to buy a couple of hundred dollars worth of absolute crap. After that she proceeded over to buy her kids about $10 worth of crap from the toy vending machines (bubble gum style machines). Finally after they checked me out, I went to load my 8 year old truck and there she was loading up her brand new crossover. It's NSFW but google "it's free swipe yo EBT'.

  13. Another bump for getting closer to turkey time. This will be my first time out. Shooting a 3 1/2 load and will be hunting in Maury County. Wish me luck! This past deer season I saw some huge flocks in the area that I plan to hunt so hopefully they've hung around.

  14. I would prefer that the Federal gov't stay out of it. If they can get a foothold saying it is okay, they can someday try to say carry is not ok. Lets the states decide it.

  18. Some wines age well. But not the grocery store variety. Unopened liquors will keep for some years. Instead of hording a lot of alcohol why don't you put together a way to make your own.

  19. The rhetoric doesn't change facts no matter how many times it's played. We have to get Obama out of office...NOTHING is more important than that..NOTHING. Ron Paul will not be President...he will not be the nominee...most people figured that out before the primary season began; for those who didn't figure it out before the primary season; it ought to be pretty obvious now. We MUST keep a conservative majority on the Supreme Court or EVERYTHING IT LOST. and we will lose the court if Obummer is re-elected.
