[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 392330, member: 84"] Starbie girl, have a told ya lately that I love ya to pieces?:happy: Just an FYI, this happens on freecycle as well. And be danged if there wasn't a post similar to the one you had, only she'd be in hospital was discharged and had to buy medications with the cash for turkey dinner. Now husband had bought extra stuffing because he didn't know that easy child had already taken care of it. I'd bought a ham to go with the turkey as it looked awfully small. I'd bought extra sweet potatoes and rolls....and had a extra box of instant mashed potatoes that katie's husband had bought with their foof stamps before dayton. I got right to the point of responding.........and stopped dead in my tracks. I read the add again. And then a 3rd time. This person asked for cash for Tday dinner. Not food. Cash. Did say the donor could take them to kroger or whatever...........But to me that was more than a bit too brazen a request. And for the first time ever in my life........my gut told me to leave it alone. So my extras either got cooked for our meal or are still sitting in my pantry. I didn't even bother to respond to the post. Oh, on the foodstamps question..........easy child and her husband got foodstamps while he worked too, based on income level which was very low as she was in school and he was still hunting for an airline mechanic position. Good for you Starbie. :happy: [/QUOTE]
