SZA, Black Farmers And Others Are Working To Keep People From Hunger During SNAP Drama.  BOSSIP reports…As federal support continues to look shaky, Black farmers and celebs like SZA are taking matters into their own hands. When the government turned its back on hungry families,

Black farmers stepped up. Not only that, but celebs like SZA are also working to feed families after the abrupt pause in federal food aid that millions rely on to eat. According to Capital B News, Black owned farms like Deep Roots CPS Farm in Charlotte, North Carolina, have been giving away free produce and doubling food credits while the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program remains caught in federal gridlock. 

Capital B News reports that the funding freeze, triggered by the October 1 government shutdown, left about one in eight Americans uncertain when or if their benefits would arrive. SNAP serves roughly 41 million people nationwide, many of them Black families, single parents, and seniors on fixed incomes. Capital B reports that a court ruling briefly ordered the administration to use contingency funds, but partial payments covering only 65 percent of benefits were released.

First Date Frazzles

Cindy – “I met a guy for dinner on our first date.  He was quite attractive and extremely interesting. The evening went very well, and when the waiter brought the check, I was convinced that we were mutually enchanted.  But when we got outside the restaurant, he blew me a kiss, without even asking me if I had a lift home.  He never called again, and I still sometimes wonder what I did wrong.  It was obvious that I had somehow turned him off, and that he was too smooth to exhibit when it occurred.”    MORE

Q   I recently went on a blind date with a beautiful woman who I would like to see again. But after a few moments of being with her, the perfume she was wearing began to make me feel sick. So much so, I had to abruptly cut the evening short. I claimed a sudden headache and put her in a taxi. The problem is that I feel she needs to know about the horrible scent of her perfume, but I certainly can’t tell her because I don’t want to insult her. When she called the next day to check on me, I knew she liked me, but I would never go near her again unless she changed her scent. Got any ideas?   MORE
