No one is keeping them in the state. All they need to do is move to another state with a general fund.

A clinic nurse gave me a free PADrugcard.com prescription card and I ave been using it as a single mom with 3 kids and it does save me alot of money. Generic aderall is only $26 dollars with the padrugcard about a hundred dollars a month less than I was paying.
Alright

You still get to keep that card. Medical remains on the part of the program. The money from the state was cut to resolve a budget issue. Even the post office defaulted yesterday on a Federal loan!

The most upsetting is women that were taken advantage of by men. One of the reasons they are left with kids and a distant deadbeat dad. Most of the fund news tells mostly single men collected. Single men without children, many of which had taken advantage of decent women.

ADHD was mentioned because they wanted to talk about the medical card. Suzanne probably has other physical ailments.

Some people on GA really need it, but most do not. Example: my ex-girlfriend. She has been in and out of jail for the last 12 years. Every time she gets out she goes to welfare with her free pass from the prison and gets cash, medical assistance and SNAP. She has no ambition to work or better herself because she has a freebie. She has her doctor sign a form that she can't work because she has scoliosis. Give me a break scoliosis didn't stop her from running the streets 24/7. I am so happy she got cut off as well as the others who can go out and support themselves but refuse to. I don't mind my tax dollars helping those who truly can not support themselves but cases like my ex-girlfriend Maria I am adamantly opposed to.
Yep

Daily Horoscope for May 24

Libra

This is a fantastic day for using your brain with precision and accuracy. For instance, it's great for filling in a complicated form or going through some complex paperwork because you'll find it easy to concentrate on what you're doing. It's especially good for paying attention to the sort of finicky details that you normally aren't interested in but which are right up your street.
