I'm on Medicaid. I'm one of this country's poor. I saw a movie many years ago starring my favorite actor, Charlton Heston. It was not a favorite movie. In fact it caused me to lose my appetite. The name of it was Soylent...

From the time we were house hunting, and through our move and every day we have gone to work until just a month or so ago, we have seen this white horse, alone, in this paddock. Once there were two young steers penned up here...

Kris Wilcox My work computer overlooks a field where there are three horses, and even though it's a large field they usually all stay together. Though every once in a while one will go off on its own for a few hours, as if it needs some occasional alone time too.

I know it is difficult to cut hair for yourself. But I think it is still alright for me to use a scissors to have a little haircut for my fringe. And therefore I don't have to go to the hair salon so often. How about you?

Kris Wilcox @youless Yes, though in my case I have a disability that causes extreme anxiety when other people are in close proximity to me. Fortunately, though, there are now YouTube videos to help out the do-it-yourselfers.

Kris Wilcox Yes, I cut my own hair, not really for fashion but because I can't stand having other people mess with it.

What should i do to comfort people who's actually broke inside but they're act like nothing's bad happened?

Kris Wilcox Maybe give them something they can comfort themselves with in the privacy of their home, like a homecooked meal or cookies or a fancy coffee or tea you know they like. Most people still like "care packages" however standoffish they may seem in public.

Kris Wilcox It seems a lot more fun than many of the other social media options. And at this point, it also seems to have the least intrusive advertising too.

Kris Wilcox Kids will be like that even with their non-electronic toys, so I don't think that's an inherent problem with the technology itself. But I think its power for good or ill has more to do with what role the parents give it in the child's life. If it's being used...

Kris Wilcox You work towards it as best you can with what limited resources you have, and then try to make good, strategic decisions that will maximize your efforts as your resources increase. And you may have to set boundaries or get away from oppressive or draining...

Kris Wilcox Glad things are getting better for you both. Be careful about wishing for interesting things, though. They don't always turn out to be the kind of interesting we want.

Kris Wilcox @JaneDough Depending on the store, you might find some interesting varieties in the fresh and frozen foods sections, though I haven't personally tried any of them to have a recommendation. There will often be rainbow pasta among the dry pasta selections, and...

Kris Wilcox Better health-wise, but harder to work with I think. Thin spaghetti tends to produce better results than other varieties, but then I'm not the most gifted at kitchen skills so the lackluster results could have had more to do with me than the pasta itself....

Kris Wilcox @egdcltd Nice :) I'm currently building a site for classic computer RPGs and associated mods and literature, but I didn't know if there was much life still in the pen-and-paper market. My books are mostly from way back in the D&D 3.5 era so I'm woefully...
