However the thing I wanted to share at the moment is this:
showing what it is like to be in Lexigram/Lexigramming mode awake and whilst dreaming and the unexpected and sometimes amusing and cool side effects that mindset causes at times.

I was writing a message to someone about Lexigrammming etc:
and accidentally typed this
Lexcitement
instead of excitement!
So now we have words to describe our mutual Lexigrams/Lexigramming Passions!
LEXCITEMENT
LEXCITING
LEXCITED
LEXCITE
ŠTM
and many more will post later!

300 pounds of cooking onions!
110 pounds nice russets and Idaho potatoes!
5 big cabbages!
Bushel of fancy Delicious species ruby red apples!
ALL FOR FREE!

Sooooo.....
we shall be eating weird here but not going to starve!
Onion and or Potato soup
Fried onions, caramelized onions, creamed onions, onions are very versatile and can be used in thousands of ways!
Potatoes boiled, baked, fried, mashed, soups, chowder, hash browns, salads, and so much more!
Cabbage...together with the onions and potatoes; and bought some kielbasa and carrots on credit to use with all the free vegetables!
Apples; raw, baked, pies, crisps, caramel-ed, bread puddings, muffins, pancakes and much more!
Tomatoes;
Most raw, but will cook any that are going to go bad.
So that makes, stuffed baked, breaded crock pot tomatoes, tomato/spaghetti sauce, taco sauce, stewed, diced and cooked, and much more!

There was FREE vegetables and fruits for them to give away to poor folks such as us;
for 1 and 1/2 hours yesterday evening.

Going to try and dry some of the onions.
Wish I had a freezer to just freeze up a few pounds of veggies.
All we have is the tiny freezer in the refrigerator.

All that free food would have cost an awful lot.
Market value of about $535 in veggies and fruit.
It is an awful lot of produce;
but when they do not get enough poor folks coming to get it;
they give what is left to pig farmers to feed to their pigs.
So we took so much because we need it more than pigs.
Also onions and potatoes can be stored for planting in the Spring!
I need to see if they would Winter over if I planted them in the fall.

Lexxi! ?? .. Why don't you contact the ones from the public-meeting? Maybe they have OTHER extras that you didn't know about now? OR maybe, it will give them the idea to have another food giveaway? Usually around the holidays, they do that.

There are some Compassion Organizations who (spiritually) engage in the 'practice' of Giving at this time.

There's other things too---
I had gone by the metaphysical shop a few months ago.
They have a statue to Ganesh that visitors tuck cash and coins into.
I believe that the particular store gives away money to folks who are in attendance of their programs.

I have NO idea what's available in that way in your current locality.

What I'm trying to say is that various belief-systems have the Heart-tradition to help folks in need in their area.

If you are food-insecure, I'd have no doubts that SOME folks there would offer, or, connect to places that do.

There are LOTS of Very Kind People out there-- some in plain sight, while others are tucked away, belonging to special interests groups.

You might even go to your grocery store manager. We have chain grocery stores here that are very involved in community service. Let them know you'll be needing food?

Also! Any senior places might know where you can hook-up with supplies?

Onions-------
Last summer, I enjoyed pieces of something called a "Blooming Onion".
It was very delicious.

Thank you but no; pretty much nothing for folks like me and my spouse.
Seriously;
it is petty much Christians and folks with kids; the more the better who get all kinds of help.
Sad but true.
Elderly disabled non Christian folks are not on the standard lists of people to help.
Most places are also out of funds.
Facilities that help if folks have no heat do not have the means to house disabled elderly.
We are just doing as always;
wearing hats coats gloves etc. inside.
Cats help provide some warmth.

Ugh;
what religions in our area do is drive around in huge buses and put go to hell pamphlets on doors unless you go to which ever church they are from.
Others not so rude are simply out of funds no matter who one is.
Oh yeah;
as I said before;
unless you have a litter of children.

Thank you for your kind thought and advice.
Best we do not go public and bring ourselves to the attention of the "city".
When we complain and ask around too much for help;
it has and can get even uglier; very ugly in fact; from rich folks who look down on folks such as us; and want to drive us out; homeless does not matter to them.
We have been in the past threatened with being kicked out to the streets or worse for our derelict abode/yard etc.
Like at times when we are both too ill to mow grass etc.
The city fines folks $100.00 for having tall grass; ad even worse is done to folks with old windows/doors etc.
We just plod on as best we can.
With luck we might have a few chances to lift ourselves out of this poverty.
Unfortunately it takes money to make money and credit to try to do so and live on; is a dangerous road we have no choice but to travel.
Wish us good fortune please!

Going out in Winter is often difficult to impossible for us in Winter.
Also sigh;
no pantry feeds folks Diabetic etc. safe foods for the most part.

We will survive.
The bitter cold is the worst part right now.
