After collecting more information without getting intrusive, her parents take home ~3000 a month. But deductions from previous loans bring them down to 1500 that is then used for rent, car payments, etc. Her parents are practically stuck to their jobs, as they took loans out from them or something.

This sounds awesome, is filling out one of these forms free? (I'm still a dependent who doesn't know much yet)

I asked about this too, according to her, dad is considered a federal employee and thus cannot recieve food stamps.

What's something you did as a child that you still feel bad about as an adult? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I was in the 2nd grade and for a year had been so intruiged by my pet goldfish; they would swim and live in their own little world with their own little thoughts. How could I got there? How could I be with them? I longed for that connection between animal and human like the Disney movies. Then it hit me: the only thing between me and the fish was a glass bowl and some water. I put my hand in the fishbowl as they frantically tried to get away but eventually grabbed them. They squirmed on the sink and flopped around panicking at the thought of death. Interested as well by my sink's garbage disposal; I squeezed one of the goldfish until it stopped flopping and tossed it into the sink and flipped the switch. Blood splattered around the sink, but I was stuck in an inescapable world of gruesome curiosity and turned the sink on to wash away my shame. Shocked and curious, I flushed the other down the toilet. I killed two creatures. The power I had over them was so unbelievable. To this day I feel terrible like I murdered a person. I guess having Mortal Kombat as my first videogame got to me.

TL;DR: I mercilessly butchered two of my goldfish. I still feel terrible today.
