This theme was touched upon in another thread and I wanted to discuss it further.

The family qualifies because of his salary, but the children are the recipients.

Yes, understood. My question was if anyone knew of a single male with children who was on Wic.

So..pretty close. Very scary. I can see how you can miss someone being a hoarder.

yeah... but then I really don't get involved in my neighbor's personal lives... I know them to say hi to- exchange greetings with, there's one nice older guy who helps bring in my mail when we go away, and who has the spare key to our house (he and his wife will be at our wedding) but their financial status, jobs etc? couldn't tell ya.

Many of my neighbors I have known for over 20 years or more. I do know the jobs of my "younger" neighbors as we talk. We all look out for one another and I love that it is that way.

oh we look out for one another - my neighbors often shovel my steps or I do theres -- we let each other know when we're goign to be gone etc.. but I'd never dream of asking the young single dad next door with the two adorable children if he gets assistance or not...

you can tell you don't live in northern new england--that information would never ever EVer be volunteered or asked for up here. We're the land of "good fences make good neighbors" after all
