I got $465 from Red Cross to hold me over for the month until FEMA kicks in.

I get $149 a month in Food Stamps for three months.

I got some water and granola bars.

And I got $25 at Goodwill.

what exacly is a food stamp, Ive never seen one.

It's like a passport stamp, only it's food.

And to elaborate, you can use it to mail a turkey drumstick to starving people.

They're not even stamps anymore, it's like a credit card now.

Yeah, I was expecting a shitty ass sheet of stamps that were only good on cheese and milk. But it's a credit card type of thing.

And lucky for me, I was out of town and had my computer with me on the trip. When I flew into New Orleans the day before the Hurricane, I just held on to it and went to my parents house on the Northshore. So I'm lucky.

So what's the tally on alcohol, tobacco, firearms and lottery tickets bought with the FEMA cards?

They won't let us. But my friend did manage to buy Wine with his Red Cross card. I want to buy something super cool and big but I'm in credit card debt and want to go on Hurricane Adventures while I live rent free so I won't.

It's called an EBT card, they're awesome. If you're smart, you'll find a take and bake pizzaria around where you are, like a papa murphy's or something. You can buy food there with an ebt card and take it to an oven and bake it. They are so good... TAKE AND BAKE BABY. You can buy anything that's "Uncooked" with an ebt card, as long as it's food.
