See, I can't answer those things because the main huge questions about this program haven't been answered or addressed. As far as I read, they weren't going to be the equivalent of the National Guard .. they were going to learn certain skills in a 3-month period and if needed, be called to...

ah, ok jim .. I understand now. I've been asking you to explain something to me that you can't because of semantics or a difference in opinion. That's not a slight to you, I hope you don't take it that way. It's how you 'view' the incentive versus how I 'view' it. Thank you for the taking...

Her services are just about to begin here in Hawai'i ... they are public services .. the family will hold private services later ..

No offense taken .. it's all we have LOL. I had that cocoa you're talking about when I was there .. brought back a little bit of it too .. BOO on it not being available here!!!

here's a picture - it's a cracker that's kind of hard but not too hard .. can't really explain it :D .. we smash them up 4 or 5 at a time into the cocoa .. yummy

wow ... I can't believe I never saw that thread before. It really makes me view a lot of things - and members - in a whole new light.

Holy crap, I never thought that picture of my kids was that old .. but that was two years ago. So much has changed in two years ...

I think I just threw up a little in my mouth ..

BWUAHAHAHAHA!!! Most of us still use Nestle Cocoa Mix, hot water and cream (evaporated milk) for our cocoa, especially if we're making it to smash saloon pilot crackers in it and eat it like hot cereal. Swiss Miss and other instant cocoas are just for drinking. *nod*

Well, it may be win-win .. I guess all the questions have to be answered first and the program has to be laid out. As we all know, even the best intended plans have ugly loopholes ... ;)

I didn't stop reading the posts, I stopped reading spikes and a few others posts above that were going back and forth with whoever the arguments were with. Keep up :D

so what is "table cream"? Is that like cream you put in tea and stuff? This is weirdly interesting to me :D No wonder the Maoris asked "what's this?" when we were hosting them a long time ago and we had evaporated milk out on the table for their teas and cocoa .. and had a strange look when...

Ummm.. ok .. first, you should know that the Pell Grant is not private. The Pell Grant Program is a need-based, undergraduate grant program funded by the federal government. Second, though I thank you for the unrequested history (according to jim) of welfare but your response has nothing to...

No, I don't think any point was overlooked except by you. Perhaps you should reread slowly. You said what was needed to be said? In order to bash on another persons/people way of life .. why you constantly feel the need to do that, I'll never know .. maybe it makes you feel better :shrug:

I know you mean that half jokingly but honestly, I can't get through the crap that you spew over and over again and it is circular .. but the usual suspects that you argue with for the sake of arguing do the exact same thing .. so I've just stopped reading them. What I brought up was a one...

2minkey .. holycow, I never thought I'd say this but .. that made a lot of sense and was very well said. spike .. I've stopped reading your posts, as I have certain others. And for the record, the government does provide Federal Grants for many who attend college .. does that qualify as...

people here buy evaporated milk by the cases sometimes .. that's how much it's used here just for regular stuff. Often times the elders will mix it with water to use as regular milk .. tastes awful LOL

ummm.. errrr... you totally lost me. What's 'light' cream and 'table' cream? Here, we call evaporated milk 'cream' and put it in our hot cocoa and teas .. we also call half-and-half 'cream' but that's for coffee - way too expensive to put in cocoa.

Thanks guys! Well, I'm not making anything right now... it's just that I always fall into the 'I really want to make this but I have no idea what they mean by cream' category :D There are other words or ingredients that have stumped me but I can't think of them off the top of my head .. I will...

Now, now .. none of that ;) But honestly, I'm just not seeing where the whole 'welfare' thing came from and where it fits ...
