For instance, I'm in a nursing home, for a 2nd time. I eventually got a refrigerator, again, and a nice, wife, black shelf for dry food.
I just ordered Pizza Hut, but I feel so much better after having something from Starbucks, a can of sparkling water, lemon.
I've found you need a little of everything.
…And… Don't worry. I have 2 trays with little compartments to wash sometime, for if, as planned, I'm here next month to store little foods to eat throughout the days.
Anyway, I could not … I could not afford a variety to eat, growing up, not everything. We probably should have gotten another refrigerator or so, freezer, and like I've wanted display case for homemade baked goods etc.
Also, for instance, I have a whole shelf/row full of Nature Valley bars, either with cream on the bottom or wafers. I have a few boxes of Triscuit crackers. I have bags of tortilla chips and Chex Mix. My fridge/freezer has pizza rolls and spicy chicken sandwiches (with the buns.) Maybe not too much else now, though. The trays with the compartments are in the little refrigerator.

I can afford a variety of food and I don't have as much money as you. I don't buy junk food and I cook and eat at home. This allows me to have a little treat sometimes, and to have some cash to buy wheat for the birds.

That's sad you don't have the equivalent of me at $2,045/month, plus $100 gone to my Bankruptcy, by month.
I'm sure you had responsible parents who taught you how to cook like you're supposed to know how to…
I'm excited to work, I want to make more money though. I feel I need it, as well.

You're right. My Mother taught me how to cook and take care of myself. I didn't realise at the time how important it was going to be. I wonder if you had $2,000 a week whether it would be enough for you. Do you think you could survive on that?

Of course!
You know, my mom didn't really teach me to cook different recipes. I know know how everything in the kitchen works well. I also did a science experiment/project on how the microwave, oven, and stove works.

Pretty much, the science experiment has it ingrained in my head, as it has in my past.
I did another science experiment the year before. My science teacher, an attractive blonde who was 5'7" from the New Orleans area said I was more dedicated than her. She was born in 1960.
The year before that, when my mom got hired as a florist, without previous training, at maybe the 2nd most popular grocery store, confused with Walgreens as a grocery store perhaps and in competition with Winn-Dixie and beat by the Florida grocery store Publix, Albertson's, which seems to have been closing over decades in my life. So, my science experiment/project in 6th grade, in Saint Augustine, Florida, the oldest city int he US of course today and 2nd oldest overall established 1565, was on that, what liquids work best.
In 2nd grade, I did if ice melts faster in salt water. In 3rd grade, I saw if plants needed sunlight or light to grow. I thought I won 1 or both of those years. This was rather close to Miami.
Of course, the flower one is the signature experience. I didn't win, and they wondered why I didn't use formula. I had not that many ideas and did like maybe at least 12.
Any questions, now? I used to go around Orlando joking about it as I walked along the road, sometimes.

No, I don't think I would. Everyone puts down their finger on the early karaoke videos by girls from countries in Europe such as Norway, often Disney tracks, while my attempts singing my lungs out throughout the years are futile, practically an encyclopedia reference of popular showtunes across YouTube under my name if you just type it in and hit "search."
I think I'm a science person, in a way, especially since I want to learn how art and music are related scientifically, I think mostly something like "physics," of course. I took Metaphysics, Honors Philosophy II, in college, without taking any philosophy before and got an easy A and could have gotten a B. I thought was a genius in philosophy, too easy, while no one else could follow. However, I attended a lecture or so of people trying out to be resident professors at Loyola, and I couldn't follow much at all. Religious research is very interesting. My honors English teacher, very wise and an older man, thin with a beard and not tall, who also did jousting with honors students and attended music events including of a singer in honors who was jealous from Oklahoma said to do real English you have to go to England, like I was invited to Cambridge. However Cambridge didn't have music and probably still doesn't, as last checked. I wanted to try the US and make my way to Europe. I was gonna do my Masters at a conservatory in NY state maybe by NYC.

Yes. I know my English teacher at the Catholic high school for my last year said I was good, at the end. I was indeed a very gifted writer and lost it. I started out more organized in honors and then got into gifted. I also took the 1st of the 2 English classes you take in college in the US, the summer between my 2nd and 3rd year of high school, at age 16. I took Talented Theater my 3rd year of high school, and that is glorious. I also did theater, musical theater for us, in the summer at the community theater when I could. You know, it's a lot of rehearsing, even if you are in the chorus, you hang out. It's great. At like all the community theaters maybe in the US, they seem to've been doing non-musical theater in the middle and sometimes a musical at the beginning and end of the school year. I was hoping for archives of past dance recitals and plays, where I think my footage failed and/or got flooded, it seemed. I had old choir videos, too, might still have some I found. My mom seemed to think I vegetate dwelling on them, when my friends act too cool…

I liked "Futurama" from 2005 in college in the Cleveland area studying music, in the gym.

The science experiment before the cooking one was testing what insulates drinks best.

I don't know for sure, but I thought it was a thick foamy inducing feeling plastic. Basically, I know metal conducts temperature or something. I was a Chemistry major for a few weeks, for Psychiatric research someday, as an excuse not to leave Loyola for Orlando, Fall 2006. …and, so, there is a thick wall maybe of air or something or vacuum between the 2 plastic things. It's just lovely. Um, so I would test all of them maybe every 1/2 hour, maybe there were like 12 of them. Until. And I had to stay up in the night and in the morning and maybe miss church on Sunday/s. It wasn't all week, I'm sure. I was always sitting there memorizing history, reading math and checking over, acing grammar, reading stories and answering stupid philosophical questions with no explanation sufficiently, etc.
