Thank you. It is something we don't really talk about in the open.

it is not a shame to have to go on section eight as long as it is used for the right reasons. it serves no purpose to abuse the system. it is there for people in need and not for greed.
Comment from EMB
Hey! I've only seen snow on TV! Haha! My wife is from the north, but she makes it sound being there in the winter is like visiting a theme park. (Of course, she was there as a child.)

Thank you. I had fun writing this.
Comment from Kenneth Schaal
I live in Chicago (Aurora) and I think it's funnier than hell; it runs over with truisms. I worked many years as a local 11 member (roofing) and thusly worked with many of those babies daddies. You're a natural satirist. Kenny

Thank you, Kenny. It's nice to hear from a fellow Aurora resident.
Comment from Dawn Munro
LOL. Okay, it's not really funny at all. I know way too many like this too. Let's not forget, along with the hairdo, the nails must be kept up. Those intricate designs with the little sparkly chip don't last very long, and let's face it, what man wants a dowdy woman?
Well done satire.

Thank you. We have to laugh about or we'll start crying.
Comment from comanalbert
You've got me laughing my heart out,especially at the end, where we write stories together...This sport of having kids for benefits is a wide practise in London and surprisingly, not among immigrants like me...
Come to London, they have bigger aids here...

Thank you. Even in London. I've always thought it was a matter of human nature for many people.
Comment from Phyllis Stewart
LOL! You may get called a racist by the growing number of friggin pc police, but this is really funny and very well done. In fact, I'll go out on a limb and risk the wrath of my liberal lefty fans and give it a six. Shh...don't tell anyone. :)

Thank you very much. I have been called a racist and a sell-out many times. It just rolls off now. I appreciate the great review and your risk taking.

Comment from w.j.debi
This is a well written satire. There are people who do need the aid, but I think we all know of someone like this. Somehow they do find a way to get nearly everyone else to take care of them. Good consistent narrative voice from beginning to end. You really get inside this character's mind.

Thank you. Yes it a problem without an easy answer.
Comment from michaelcahill
I know of examples of every situation you mention here. The only problem is that the solution usually cuts off people that truly are in need. Not sure how to fix it. No offense taken but as amusing as this is, there is a lot of truth to it sadly. Good write. Mikey

Thank you, Mikey. I know what you mean. We want to help people but stop the system from being abused by those without any self responsibility. Also politicians use the broken system to get votes from those who become dependent.
Comment from Spiritual Echo
I pondered your situation, being that there are 15' snow banks on my street and I was thinking that your idea might turn out to be my plan too. Hey, we really could be neighbours.
I immediately thought about Louisiana primarily because the Robertson clan have made that state famous with their Duck calling biz. they have a pretty big clan, no doubt there's a stray bachelor or two--is it important if he's single?
Anyway, all them Dynasty boys have a fair bit of facial hair and as this is an attraction of yours, it might turn out to be a match in heaven.
It's warmer than Chicago, but barely above freezing these days. Hell, even Florida is frosting their oranges, so I don't know there's any place far enough south.
I'll give more thought to your boys needs, but they might take up rattlesnake wrestling. I'll give the whole situation more thought.
Fun read.

Thank you. You really do many good ideas, and you are right I heard that north Florida has been having some cold weather too, Atlanta also. Weird.

Comment from Twilightspire
LOL. That is hilarious. A bit offensive, but it is satire after all. This sounds like one of a million rants I've had in the past about public aid. I've been on it and the lines at Blue Island were horrendous. The funny part was, I was dirt poor and still working, but some of the people there would pull up in Caddys and have two or three cell phones and more jewelry than I had ever seen, but still got more than I did. I had to laugh or cry...it was a thin line at the time.
Chicago does suck, but hey...it's Chicago. We're freezing now, but wait until we're baking in summer. Ya gotta love it.

Thank you. Yes, we were on Public Aid when I was a child, but my parents worked. My mom had a 7th grade education, but cleaned people's houses for work. We eventually got off and was happy when we did.
