I visited a food bank yesterday, something I never thought I would need to do, and I want to share my experience with you. First you have to make an appointment. Call ahead or walk in and set up a time. Than you bring all your papers, proof of residence for each person in your household. This food bank didn't require proof of income which is great because some of us make a lot but still have no money to spare on food because of excessive debt. You sign some forms Than they send you to wait in your car. Out rolls a cat full of food A dozen can veggies. A dozen can fruits or fruit juices. A few ready made meals in a can ( we got 4 beef stew, and 2 ravioli) A bag full of dairy products ( yogurts about to expire that I threw in the freezer to get more use our of) A bag full of meets ( about enough for a weeks worth of dinners. Also about to expire so into the freezer thar went too) A dozen eggs close to expiring. And a gallon milk. ( ours was almond milk expires today) And a bag of pasta and dry oatmeal. That's a lot but I still can't imagine living off of it. First most of it was expiring that day or the next day. Second you can only go every 90 days for food at this one. 90 days!!! That's a long time. Also they don't ask about any allergies and the family doesn't get a choice in what they receive at all. Don't get me wrong I'm so very grateful to have received the hand out, I just think that if this is they way the system works than why are there so many people that think the poor enjoy living this way. Seriously the amount of people that complain about family's living off there tax dollars on assistance or receiving hand outs is sad. No one should live this way. We need to end the poverty epidemic in this nation asap.

Ah nothing say living in a trailer park like the smell of pot drifting in through the paper thin walls. Thanks neighborhood. You guys suck. This is not what I want my house to smell like..... :(

Seriously, Rugrats was not fucking around.

[flaminganakin-deactivated201812]

People don’t give Rugrats enough credit for how progressive it was. I mean think about it.

Chuckie, for most of the series is raised by a single father

Angelica’s mother was a high ranking corporate executive

Phil and Lil’s mom was a feminist 

She also breastfed them (which the show actually depicted)

Tommy is half-Jewish and the show actually explored this part of his heritage

Seriously, this show was fucking amazing!! They just don’t make ‘em like this anymore….

[tassiekitty]

Also don’t forget that Chuckie had an interracial family after the second movie.

[jazzthefraz-deactivated20200320]

How are you guys forgetting Susie? I mean her mom was a doctor and her dad was a writer for a famous Children’s TV show. Not to mention Kimmie was anything BUT submissive.

[allanime01]

Remember when they had episodes that hit hard to issues kids might be dealing with? Chuckie only had his Dad on Mothers Day, Tommy had to deal with being outshadowed by a new baby brother, Phil and Lil were constantly being mixed up and then they had a couple episodes where they each found that even as a twin they were their own people. Man Rugrats was the shit.
