…ce. You won’t eat somewhere you hate — that would be a sacrifice, but this compromise is made willingly. Compromises like this do not include resentment. You agree to them freely because you love someone. And, more importantly, you enjoy putting a smile on the face of the person you love.

….com wrote me the following, and gave me consent to post it:   I wanted to comment on your recent post “Food Stamp Withdrawal”. You are 100% right. I had come to the conclusion that people who are perpetual users of food stamps are the least ambitious, and most irresponsible, in this country. And I am not talking about senior citizens on Social Security. At one point I had to get on food stamps, and I was totally embarrassed. After being laid off… Continue reading
