And apple juice is pretty innocuous, it's not as "bad" as buying chips or jerky or something much less beer and weed. <br /><br />Nope, I think it's all about an informal not-talking-to-skeezers policy, since as mentioned, skeezers must be assumed to be kinda psycho and you never know what will set one off. <br /><br />That being said, when I was on food stamps I made sure to buy really "solid" things like oatmeal, Brussels sprouts, pork chops in the sale bulk pack (friend I was staying with and I would marinate them and then freeze two per bag, and make great meals of them) and so on. If The American Public is going to feed me, I'm going to spend the money prudently. <br /><br />Thanks to pics of Tanya and Dorise you posted on here, I've identified the violin Tanya plays, it's a "Luis & Clark" carbon fiber job, just about indestructible. Unfortunately also about 6 grand. I've got a cheap-ass fiddle I got from a guy, and at least it's something to saw on for a few months while I work through beginning material.

Well, he called the guy "kid" or something, and the skeezer got all offended and was basically trying to pick a fight with the security guy who just ignored him after making his point and walked off to check for real crime (like shoplifting, or maybe guys smoking up a storm in the wine section). Basically, the security guy spoke to the skeezer only as much as necessary and no more. <br /><br />I can see the lady behind the counter where you were, having the same policy. Who knows what cockamamie shit a given skeezer is going to get offended by? alex carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12458022111793552536noreply@blogger.com
