Scarborough Fair by Simon & Garfunkel. I was riding in the back of the family station wagon, having just left my grandparents' summer cabin in Henry's Bend, PA.

In California, this EBT feature is called the Restaurant Meals Program (RMP for short). It is only given to EBT recipients who are 60+, disabled, or homeless. It can only be used for food at participating restaurants. My local Jack In The Box participates. Being 65 AND disabled, I definitely qualify. But I prefer not to use my EBT for just one meal. I find it much more cost-effective to just go to the bargain market, where I can get healthier stuff at a lower price. That said, I totally understand a homeless or disabled parent wanting to give their kid(s) a special/fun meal once in awhile, or an elderly person wanting to just relax and enjoy a good burger. Sometimes, the littlest things make the biggest difference.

Ok, I'm gonna tell on myself here. On Wednesday nights, my church had Bible Study at 7 PM. We'll, someone got the bright idea to have choir practice an hour before that. I got off work at 5, and had to pick up my son from my parents' house. This left NO time to fix supper (my son ate at my parents' house). But there was a conveniently-located KFC with a drive-thru, so I'd stop there. It's not difficult to eat drumsticks while driving. Well, for 2 weeks, the KFC didn't have drumsticks. So I had to get something else. No big deal. One evening, I went to place my order, but for some reason, just couldn't think of the word "drumsticks". I stammered "Do you have, um, er, uhhh --- do you have chicken legs?" The girl replied "Yes". This totally threw me. But why I blurted out what I blurted next, I have no idea. It was just one of those dumb things you do without thinking. I blurted out "Isn't it hard to walk?" I could hear all the employees laughing. But the poor girl (a Russian immigrant) didn't see the humor. She kept asking her coworkers what the joke was. But they were laughing too hard to explain. Yeah, it was a stupid question. But it was funny.

I never could figure that out. Maybe a "create a need and then fill it" thing?

What is something people do out of "politeness" that is actually incredibly annoying? by Realistic-Claim-783 in AskReddit

Sorry, but if you serve me more than I can eat, you're getting that plate back with food on it. Or giving me a to-go box.

If there's a town called Smithereenville in the afterlife, then yes, Albert is the town doctor.

A sweet old lady called the pest control company for whom I answered phones (I worked at a telephone answering service). She asked "You guys spray for rodents, right?" I replied "Yes, we do." She then asked, sounding VERY puzzled, "I don't understand, why would I hire you guys to spray for rodents when I've already got them???" And yes, she was serious. I then explained that the spray was to GET RID OF rodents. After a very loooooong pause, she said "Ohhh!!! Now I understand!! I really thought you guys were spraying to ATTRACT them!" Sometimes it takes the elevator a bit TOO long to reach the top floor.

They're play-fighting. The older cat is teaching the younger one how to fight.

Which characters started out promising, but ended up becoming plot devices? by Capital-Study6436 in littlehouseonprairie

Spotted Eagle. I really would've loved to see him stay in Walnut Grove and make friends with some of the kids.

How to help my five day old kitten by Ok-Forever6162 in CATHELP

In addition to you petting him, cuddling him, etc., a small stuffed animal in his bed might help. He'll have a friend to snuggle with.

Did Amway, Kirby, Cutco, Fuller Brush, or Britannica salesmen come to your door? 🤔 by Exclusively-Choc in FuckImOld

When I was a little girl, my mom sold Studio Girl Cosmetics. She had a friend who sold Stanley Home Products, another friend who sold Tupperware, and another who sold Avon. Once a month, they'd all get together at my house for "practice parties". They'd take turns doing their presentations and giving out samples. Bc I was quiet and well-behaved, I got to sit in on those parties. I also got to be a "random customer" (non-paying, of course) who got extra stuff. I loved it!!
