I know I don’t have Covid. So is this suppose to be flavored? I taste sweetness and that’s about it.

Portage Michigan. Limit 10.

I was told these belong here.

If you see me talking with my hands a lot this month… no you don’t.

Just my neon cartoon nails and me against the world 🫰🏽

Did a hospital tank. She/He wouldn’t stop going behind the filter and its find getting sucked into the filter. So we put it back in the big tank. We don’t know what else do to. Did the pea (not pee) Did the hospital tank. 😔 it’s been a a month and half now.

Context: we bought a house. Moved two angels, two sharks and a plecco to the new house. All had bubblers. Were fine. But this one keeps swimming upside down. We are thinking swim bladder but we don’t know.

I hope everyone from this is okay. Some teens on bikes were also hurt. I have a flat. Only reason I have this picture 😭

*Another Edit: I’ve been receiving some unkind comments and messages over this post. I understand the frustration that comes with EBT and don’t blame them at all, but while this list may not be perfect and may not be applicable to everyone, I did work really hard and did some digging to try to make this list as helpful as possible. I greatly appreciate ALL kind feedback, but please, know that this was posted with good intentions.*

EDIT: I made a document with both SNAP perks and free library resources. I also included the resources I used for my information as well as some of your suggestions. Before sharing them, I have a quick disclaimer:

**The benefits listed are not available to every EBT/SNAP recipient and may vary by state, county, eligibility, or individual circumstances. Some programs are only offered in participating locations or to recipients who meet specific requirements. Before relying on any benefit, check with your state's SNAP/EBT agency or the program's official website to confirm availability and eligibility in your area. My research is mostly based in the state of Virginia. I also used my two local library county branches and couldn't find a whole lot of free resources, so I suggest checking your local branch to see if they have more options**
