Default There's a Rat in my Microwave Oven

When I opened my microwave oven this morning, there was a rat inside. I
was going to get my husband's rifle, but did not want to make a hole in
the microwave. So I just slammed the door again, and turned on the
power. I cooked that rat for 10 minutes on high. Not only did that kill
it, but it looks like it's well cooked. I just wonder if they are
edible? My kids are hungry, so everything I can feed them helps. Ever
since the government shutdown, I am no longer able to get WIC food for
the kids and our food stamps have beeen cut too.

That's bullshit and you're a troll . I know people who depend on the
gov't dole , and neither their food stamps nor their WIC have been cut .

Troll, for sure. However, the government shutdown *is* affecting some
folks who get SNAP (food stamps) benefits. The staff isn't there to
process new applications or renewals. I saw something on a "local" news
station yesterday about food banks ramping up requests for donations to
help cover gaps for those who haven't had funds deposited into their
SNAP accounts due to the shutdown. The lucky ones have a balance on
their accounts and won't have to worry about it until those funds are
depleted. But the longer this drags on, the worse it will get.

The asshole in the White House is screwing over the whole country with
his shenanigans.

BTW, I'm pretty sure people have been in situations where they ate rats
when they were starving. Prisoner of war camps come to mind.

They still eat them. Andrew Zimmern had a bit about it on a show from
Vietnam. The ones that feed in the rice paddies have a cleaner taste.

One of my uncles was a prisoner in Changhi jail, eating rats was a
luxury - he said he never thought about rats in the same way again!
Another uncle who was a prisoner in Nagasaki reported the same thing.

For someone who allegedly was a really smart businessman, the President seems totally
unaware and/or uncaring about what the shutdown is doing to the business world all over the
country.

I wish I were in a position to help those who may lose their homes because of this.

Maybe he hopes to be buried next to it and an actual memorial built. A
monument doesn't have to be in Washington, DC, does it? Lincoln,
Jefferson, Washington, Roosevelt, Buchanan... no reason his couldn't be
on the border. LOL

He's all about power. He's stomping his feet like a kid who is throwing
a tantrum. I didn't get my way, so there! Who elected this child?

I truly hope he is not invited to make the State of the Union address.
Yes, technically he has to be *invited*. It harks back to old
Parliamentary procedures in England.

The Queen must be invited into the House of Commons before they open
Parliament. So must the President be *invited* to give the State of the
Union address by the Speaker of the House. I sincerely hope he's not
given yet another platform in which to rail about this stupid Wall.

Doubt that will happen. Just about every bank is offering help of some
sort.

that is a pretty comfortable view to take My news channels tell
about landlords promising eviction, furloughed workers hunting for
food money, gas money etc. I'm not disputing that there are those
individuals and companies that are helping out, but not all a covered
by the generosity of others.

Mine won't help until you are three months in arrears. I might have my home
but no utilities.

That's for people who missed the January 14th deadline for their
6-month renewals if they were due to be re-certified for February.
Many of the stories we've heard have been skewed and simplified. As
it turns out, 99% of SNAP recipients actually got MORE benefits than
normal since they distributed February's benefits on January 20th.
But once they did that, they are officially out of money.

Nobody's SNAP benefits have been cut or missed yet. Only if you
didn't file for re-certification in time, then you may miss benefits
starting February 1st.

That's entirely true, but if this shutdown drags on and people have used
up what is in their account without another deposit until who knows
when... The idiot in the White House is screwing with a lot of peoples
lives for no good reason.

the only value these people have to him is as a tool. no one has any
value to him except how they may be used. the only people who still
support him are those who would operate as he does if they could.

I wondered about that, too. My microwave is built-in. Nothing can get
in or out unless I leave the door open (which I don't). It's a
completely enclosed space so there's no way for a rat to get in there.
Nor into the actual oven below it, come to think of it.

I doubt that the tale was meant to be taken literally. It's more like

I don't get food stamps but the shutdown could affect me. I just heard on
the radio that they state is stepping in to help.

The people in this state who get food stamps are getting them early as the
fear is they will not get them in Feb.

I don't know about your state but from what I've read about the SNAP
program both back in TN and here in SC, you aren't allowed to "get them
early" under any circumstances. You receive X amount of dollars per
month loaded to your EBT card on a specific date. It's pre-authorized
through a specific month/time period.

If the government shutdown really did affect offices in your state there
wouldn't be anyone there for these applicants to talk with to get these
so called early benefits. Can you provide a citation?

How about getting a J O B... one that doesn't necessitate spreading
your legs.
