I know I will get ripped for this but a $250
   
check to SS recipients because there won't be a COLA increase in 2010. Wasn't the COLA for SS recipients intended to help them keep up with inflation? Isn't it based on the CPI? The CPI figures indicate there is no COLA due so we ignore that and cut them a check with borrowed money. We had COLA where I work back in the 70s and had to give it up as part of the concessions we have constantly given up on every single contract over the last 30 years. Where are our checks for about 100 times that much for the COLA we lost over the last 30 years? I know many SS recipients don't get a bunch of money but they have been getting a COLA raise every year for 30 years. Don't say you are on a fixed income when you have received a COLA every year for 30 years and then demand a check when you aren't due an increase. Didn't GWB cut you a special check in 2008 and PO cut you another this year in addition to the largest COLA increase since the COLA began? Oh and by the way I will be signing up for SS next year so don't say I am jealous of other people getting some money.

The all-generous government is taking care of us. We're lucky to have such generous leaders who give us their money to help when we can't do for ourselves.

I love how they all seem to think that SS is a retirement pension/plan.

Ever notice that when you have/grow the real thing that stuff which claims to have it or be "flavored" as such usually tastes like a bag of ass?  I don't buy blueberry or raspberry ANYTHING unless they're real ones in the ingredients.

I liked them as a kid.  Now, they're just kind of bland.  Raw dough filled with vaguely fruit-flavored sugar. 

They'll do in a pinch, but it seems like you can't find them anymore without that disgusting layer of rock-hard "frosting".

I think that's when my kids switched over.

Once my son found out about Toaster Struedels...I don't think I ever bought PopTarts again. He loved those things!!!

You're lucky.  We didn't have no modern-fangled toasters when I was a kid.  We had to cook our PopTarts by holding it next to a glowing piece of charred wood.

:rofl: The only time I got Pop Tarts as a child was during summer vacation when my parents splurged on snacks for the twelve-hour drive to Florida.  During the rest of the year, if mom couldn't make it at home, you didn't get it.
