I used to have "carne del diablo" sammiches when I was a kid for lunch.
Just so you know SW ... my comment was not directed at you personally.I guess that makes me a deadbeat, too.

pfft. you got l & t? all I got was baloney, bread, a few chips and milk money........and if my milk money account was empty at school, I got to drink water out of the fountain.Of course it didn't help when you had soggy lettuce and tomato too.
And chips in a baggie.
I used to lose my lunch ticket all of the time. Usually with just a couple of days punched out.
Devil meat?????
.........or just Spam???
LOLWell, my kids go to a Judson school ... they are more concerned with football stadiums there.
I don't think we've ever actually gotten to the PB&J stage, but if they have it's because they didn't tell me they needed more money. And they are 12 & 13 without any known learning disabilities, and I'm not a mind reader, so if they don't tell me ... they'll be awfully hungry by the time they get home that day.
I spend every Tuesday and Friday at Judson running a concession stand at the soccer field, and I'll be at Rutledge stadium on saturday running one at a track meet.

Had the spam sammich too.
My daughter has visited that stand. Maybe we'll see you Saturday.
Weak. I almost always skip lunch, these kids need some perspective on how cheap their $1.75 lunch is. Parents should give them $2 and make them buy a lunch from H-E-B, then when the kid can only afford a banana and some milk, they will be grateful."The lunch lady pulled her aside. And she told my little girl that 'You know, since you owe money, you have to have a cheese sandwich.' She sat there through the whole lunch period and cried," the mother said.
Plus whats wrong with a cheese sandwich? When I was in NISD I would of killed for a cheese sandwich on like, sloppy joe day.
I think some of the districts got the peanut allergy people on them and they switched to a cheese sandwich.
I don't get why all school lunches aren't free, its not like the money isn't there.
After all we give out Billions every year to other countries so they can use it to buy weapons in the black market. All we need is for NASA to not send just one space craft to mars and we could feed all our school children.
Nasa scientists have lost contact with the latest unmanned spacecraft sent to Mars, the $165m Mars Polar Lander.
In September, the $125m Mars Climate Orbiter mission also failed, after an embarrassing mix-up over metric and imperial measurements.
$125m could buy a few hot meals.
I think at one time there were some schools that did something similar to this, in that there was a very large percentage of the kids who qualified for free lunches, and so they got all of them on the program and collected that money and just did not bother charging the rest.
So let me get this straight,we can't afford to put a hot meal on jrs plate each day but we can spend $177 million per day in Iraq?
What kind of ed up country are we running here?the war's cost as of Wednesday at $134.5 billion and are adding $177 million per day, which comes to $7.4 million per hour or $122,820 per minute.
The War in Iraq Costs
$602,329,427,275
See the cost of war counter for your community:

$4,681 per household.
$1,721 per person.
$341.4 million per day.
But they're free from Saddam.
Bush chose this..............
over this..............
the kids and the underpaid teachers, lets figure out a way to spend millions sprucing up the river walk!

As did the fools/monsters who voted for him. I wonder how they sleep at night with that kind of blood on their hands.
More waste of money!

The loss of the $280 million mission came a month after Japan launched the world's first spacecraft to track global warming emissions. The failure dealt a big blow to NASA, which had hoped to send up its own satellite to measure carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas behind human-caused global warming.
I tried to warn you!
Yeah, it's definitely better to neglect one of the biggest tourist attractions of the city. We don't need the tourists or their money - investing in the future!the kids and the underpaid teachers, lets figure out a way to spend millions sprucing up the river walk!

I'm sure you see that money on a daily basis, where is it?... In some city council mans pocket? Where does it go? tell us all! It sure as doesn't go towards school lunches.
You think those tourist ride that hot smelly bus for 8 hours just to see that nasty mud creek you call a river? They come to see the Alamo. And besides the river has been making money for years now who said it needed to be expanded. No one is against fixing your precious money maker, we just want the kids to be fed first is that to much to ask?
Hey Al! you really want to piss off the Mexicans in this forum? keep talking about the river and 410. soon Buddy Holly will poke his head out of his metro hole and really lay some city smack on your ass!
... I don't think I saw anything about kids going hungry, just that they weren't eating hot lunches. I imagine that if they were that economically disadvantaged that they would be qualifying for free lunches and this wouldn't be an issue anyways. I'm all for feeding the kids, but you can't neglect the things that bring in revenue to the city either. Sure, people come for the Alamo, but if downtown and the Riverwalk look like then they probably aren't going to stick around as long to spend their money. That money doesn't just go to the councilman/woman's pockets, it goes to local retailers and businesses as well. Do you not support the local economy? "tell us all!"
when has it looked like and what does that have to do with kids not eating?
My sister had a shop on the river those people are there to take advantage of tourist selling them pace picante sauce for 8.00 dollars a jar and a 2.00 dollar pinata for 20 dollars so don't try and make us feel sorry for those people BTW they have to know someone to get a shop on the river and there are more kick backs then a Houston Texans game.That money doesn't just go to the councilman/woman's pockets, it goes to local retailers and businesses as well. Do you not support the local economy?
Your argument for the poor people trying to earn a living off the tourist is breaking my heart how about the millions out of jobs due to Wall mart?
And what ties do you have to the downtown san antonio for you to be so passionate about it? You might as well come clean.
Oh and another thing what is the tourist tax for? Isn't that the way this city empties the pockets of the poor tourist? poor people are are getting taxed to death so they can ride on some crusty dirty ass barge in the hot sun on some polluted lake while hopefully they don't get pissed on by some kids on the bridge up ahead, just to end up paying 15 dollars for a cheesy ass Polaroid picture of the excruciating experience?"tell us all!"
You should ashamed of yourself for supporting such actions.
