The younger age groups don't understand about having some sort of ability to pay their bills. I'm 68 and am very conservative with expenses. I remember being young and spending money on every whim that would come my way. Lots of regrets but thankful for SS to help pay current bills.

Wife was a charge nurse in one for a time back in the 90's. She'll tell you that if you didn't pay close attention, some clients would be deprived of basic comforts. But, it's a shame when simple human dignity gets degraded like this. I visited one in 1973 as a freshman in high school to provide some basic treats that we as a 4H club had collected. I was so overwhelmed with the suffering and lackadaisical attitude of the staff, I didn't go back to one for 30 or so years. It just had that smell of urine and poop. Some of those poor people were left at the door with a suitcase and a few belongings and left. No visits, no mail, no phone calls. It was pitiful.

I tend to agree with that. You have some say, but you don't go around saying how much say you have.

Definitely would play for Kelly. Won at all levels. Needs an NC at LSU to top the cake, but I really believe he's a proven winning head coach.

Mamou's finest.

Never cared for him from a political standpoint for sure. Don't wish any misery on him. From watching loved ones who struggled with dementia and cancer, his road will be rough. Jesus said we should show love to those who don't love us and I'm going to do that. I pray for him and his family. I will always side with Jesus.

A sad ending for a young man with much potential for life.

The federal government was never intended to over public education. State and local jurisdiction are to fund the programs. Special ed. kids are unfortunately caught in the money circle. Being a retired teacher I've seen many a student in special education who really didn't belong there and as soon as they're 18 they opt out because of the perceived stigma.

I was thinking the same thing. LOL

Well, gotta start sometime.
