Turbo Tax

Excuse me. Assuming either the Left Wing or the Right Wing gained control of the country, it would probably fly around in circles.

I am from Republic and learning to read in English, tell me right I wrote the following sentence: "I asked my doctor if I could try an alternative to synthroid like armour thyroid."

THX :P, Iria.

Thanks

If it is $7/day for two people, that is certainly more noteworthy. If I had to stretch $25 to feed myself for a week, I could probably do it, but it would take some effort - and rice and lentils would definitely be where I'd start!

@ Johanna

LOL -the $7 is for her and her busband - you're right, it is easy, but lots of people spend WAY more than that - on coffee and tea alone!

"Just" $7/day?

I didn't catch it in the video - is that $7/day for just herself, or is it for more than one person? If it's for feeding just one person, then it's not really such a freakishly low amount that can only be achieved if you grow your own sprouts. If you cook most meals from scratch and don't go crazy with expensive ingredients, you can easily get down to $7 per day per person without even trying very hard.

Oh, and I also brew my own tea. Can I be on the news too?
