Since we're talking about breakfast, I usually eat whatever my school has for breakfast. Tiny waffles. :lol2:

I think number of times I've had breakfast at school can be counted with sawmill worker's fingers.

No, it's not. Would be nice, though. Just so many people in my school are apparently food insecure that we get breakfast and lunch.

That's a really great thing for a school to do.
I wish any of the schools I went to had done that. Fewer hungry days.

The problem is the money goes into food and my education suffers for it. I'll be lucky if I even get in a UC someday. But it does help a lot.

Title 1 schools (us schools that quality for free meals for poor kids), generally get federal help for school breakfasts and lunches, how much I don't remember.

I'm fairly sure we get federal aid as well, but I don't think it's enough. That or my school is just bad.

Public schools aren't too great. More money for schools, is it that hard? I went to a charter school in elementary and middle school and it was much better. More money.

That was something I also saw NS-Stats-wise. Blogotopia. Their Public Education ranking shot up, but somehow... it ironically made their people dumber (lower Intelligence).

Getting really fucking frustrated and irritated, then trying to lift heavy shit is not a good combination.

Especially when a searing pain shoots through your chest and you fall to your knees screaming like fuck.

Thats a lesson for me in the future.

Well, we're mostly filled with aliens. We must keep weird, and liberal, so the humans had to be exported. They were sent to North, and West Texas. This is why those areas are so Republican. This is coming from an Austinite, I know what I'm talkin' bout.
