This is for you and your big mouth! You know too much! You engage your mouth before you try making your brain work. FYI, it is YOU who is working and on welfare and not reporting your wages. I hope the fuck you get caught and your sorry ass lands behind prison bars!!! You need to mind your own fucking business, you scrawny ugly bitch!

I was in Scotia Square for lunch the other day, and couldn’t help but look around wondering if there were fellow bitchers near by…
What did you have, PAS?
I was there with my bright red Nordic walking poles, waiting for the best BLT wrap in Scotia Square (rhymes with Seats) – I’m pretty much there every day, either there or Tim Horny’s.
The woman you described sounds the fucking skank who was my oldest friend until she, too, tried to bilk the system and supplement her income with babysitting. Well, guess what – she fucking got caught, the lazy bitch, and had her cheque reduced bigtime. Was she outraged?? You betcha. Now she’s back to buying booze, having sacrified food. And she supplements the landlord (if you catch my drift) because she now can’t pay her rent. Her choices but she’s pointing fingers at everyone else. She’s 54 going on 14. I hope that skinny bitch at SS gets her own reality check.
Just anonymously report her if it bothers you that much OP. She is commiting fraud and she will be punished accordingly.
There’s no better place to people watch than that food court. It is what I imagine a mirror dystopian Halifax prison cafeteria to be.
Drama abounds amongst the groups and individuals, and long hard, delibrate strides taken towards another can signal the beginning of a major dust-up. I call these little events “Rounding the Square”
OMG! Some people actually dare to supplement their generous $568.23 and 1/2 cents per month social assistance with minimum wage (or less) job!? How dare they?
Someone get Stephen Harper on the phone, pronto…don’t you socialists know that if you’re on welfare, Canadians expect you to be malnourished and wear donated clothing!? You’re giving the poor a bad name by trying to work a bit, damn you!
Next thing you know, they’ll be asking for free bus passes for the elderly…
I had a chicken pita and 99 cent side of lentils from Ray’s. Soo good, Rays is my main reason for ever going to Scotia Square.
Bright red poles, I’ll have to keep that in mind for next time, TTFN you should be easy to spot!
Next time, say hi, PAS!
By the way, Baaaadddd Mr. F. – my ex-friend, who lives alone, was raking in $865 a month of welfare until she fucked herself up with her lies to Community Services.
Oh, Scotia Square, you’re never lacking in entertainment. It makes me wonder where exactly this went down, and if I know one (or both) of the people involved. Aha.
I bet I’ve walked passed TTFN a million times without realizing it. I’m always wandering through the food court, and seem to remember seeing someone with walking poles before. It might all be in my head, though. Heh.
PAS you rule! I love Ray’s food and usually get his ultra filling $5 combo whenever I’m there.
Eee, I love Ray’s! I always get the combo, too. Mmm. …I should have gotten one before I left The Square. 🙁
Sagi I can take you sometime. You buy the drinks and dessert from MG’s though lol
Seoul Chicken for the win.
Like smoothies, NGF? ;D
Hahaha, smoothie would be good but I’m content with a cheap Fresca from the dollar store lol
What does Ray serve as a combo?? I am so fucking sick of Tim Horny’s bagels. Maybe me and the poles will park at Ray’s instead.
Two types of rice – one with lentils
Grilled cabbage
Roasted potatos
Salad
Grilled chicken
Vegetable soup
All for $5 plus tax and very delicious!
His 5 dollar lunch special is the awesome, in the form of chicken, salad, cabbage, rice and lentils, pita bread, seasoned tatters. …Am I forgetting anything? It’s absolutely delicious, either way.
MG’s has some decent lunch specials, sometimes. Lately I’ve been digging the chicken, scalloped potatoes and corn for 4.99. Yum.
730 is what single parent with one child gets a mth. If they’re working or going to school, they get an extra 60 for a bus pass. That 730 is for rent, grocerys and bills. They also receive Child Tax Benefit, which is 324 a mth. If their child is under 6 yrs old, then they get Universal Tax Credit of 100.
So that’s 1100 per mth, 13000 a year. Its not a lot.
And working while on assistance works like this… You can keep everything you make under 200. Anything over 200, assistance deducts 70 percent of what you make from your check.
They don’t make it easy to get off welfare. They’re very much enablers.
I don’t agree with people who don’t report and run the system, but I can understand why they do. I don’t think its worth the risk.
Sagi you’re making me hungry again.
I have that effect on people. 🙁 I’m terribly sorry, NGF.
My Scotia Square vice is PG’s and the fish N chips joint. I mostly bring my own lunch so if I go to the Square I want something that’s bad for me.
The Indian place is good too, but I generally can’t get past Rays without just ordering there. The medium pita and side of lentils comes to 6.22, which is great for such a filling lunch. The special is also awesome! So much good food, such a nice guy!
LOL…I think 90% of us bitchers are there at lunchtime and don’t even know it! Too funny….NGF – I’ll have to check out Rays as that lunch for $5 sounds good and it’s cheap!!!
So I’ll assume there’s gonna be a big ole line-up of hungry bitches at Ray’s tomorrow.
Oooh, TTFN . . . haven’t been to Ray’s? Oh, you must go!
Mmmmmm. Good, hearty Lebanese food, piled high, and served fast with super nice service.
I don’t work downtown anymore, so I don’t get to go as often as I used to. I might make a special trip this week myself.
Oh, and the Korean place is fabulous too. You must try the Seoul Chicken.
I’m getting pretty hungry just thinking about it.
I’ll be at Ray’s probably around 12-12:15. It’s my Friday haunt. Mmmm…. Chicken Combo.
Ray’s food is great, but make sure you want what’s on the menu… *exactly*. When he gets in the zone, he goes so fast he forgets you asked for no turnip. 😛
I’ll be at Ray’s around 1130, and then I’ll proceed to nomnom in the food court, possibly with an Otis fellow at my side. Hurrah! See you all tomorrow. 😉
Chicken Biryani (sure I spelled that wrong) from the indian place is by far the best Indian food I’ve had and the people who work there are very friendly. You can only get it Wednesdays and Fridays but is sooooo worth trying if you like a little spice.
Chicken Biryani from indian place is by far the best Indian dish I’ve had. Wednesdays and Fridays only though. Great food, friendly staff.
There is nothing better on a cold winters day than the very hot and spicy soup from the Korean place. It isn’t displayed on the menu, you have to ask for it (the insider’s tip) and they give it to you in a big porcelain bowl you have to return to the counter.
God…I shouldn’t be reading this at 1:15 am…you guys are making me hungry! And I have to get up in 5 hours….see you at the food court tomorrow ; )
you mean dar, the mouth piece is at it again. thought she moved to mongolia or some other nice place, where she had nothing to bitch about.
Seeing bitches decide when the rules work for them is, in itself, quite comical. It’s sorta like the bad-guy-hitting-on-me-syndrome. If he’s good looking, that’s okay but if he’s too old or not good looking enough then it’s harassment and inappropriate, sound the alarm! (a double standard that makes even the bitches wanna heave.) So what is this now? It’s okay to mention business names when the bitch has something good to say? I think it’s a lame rule considering the nature of The Coast as a publication and LTWWB as a blog but… just sayin’
You do a great job in projecting your “problems” out and into others, Kay. Jus’ sayin.
It appears that you’re flawless but can pick out the flaws in everyone else. If you have an opinion, its a right but when anybody differs from you, its “arguing” or “picking on you for being Kay”.
Or you write it off as people being jealous of you, which is silly b/c screen names don’t get jealous of screen names. I think most of us realize we’re hypocrites and are happy to admit that. You’re the exact opposite and just balk at your own contradictions and flawed logic.
Again, juss sayin’.
Mmmm…eating my Ray’s combo as we speak…yummy!
Hey Fat, what “flawed logic” would that be, exactly? And what “contradictions” have I posted here? And what “problems” have I projected in this post? You know nothing of my “problems” except that I dwell somewhere within your Eastern vicinity.
You make comments easy to write off when you invent shit to comment on. Your stunted growth is showing again, Fat. Yuck.
Kay, everything you say is a contradiction. To basic human decency.
Aren’t you all bags of fuckin’ sunshine.
Case in point. Well done, Kay-tastic!
I fail to see any case. There is certainly no point. Why don’t you qualify even one point? How about just one, Fat? Show us your stuff. I haven’t gagged in about 20 minutes
Go look in the mirror then, Kay.
Clever. You’re as deep as a dime. I’m one of them bitches you love to hate because I do nothing to very little to girl-up my appearance and keep my ass tight yet I’m fucking fit and beautiful. How ’bout you, Fat? Do you think people normal gag when they look in the mirror? Not everybody wakes up the way you do.
I wake up with a Coke and a smile, baby. I’m freaking gorgeous.
what difference does source of income make if you don’t like a person you don’t like them – stop being bias – would what she said bother you so much if she worked for walmart or was on a pension? if not than this is about you not her…
What the hell happened?! We were talking about lunch here! Stop stealing the thread I stole Kay!
Thank Fat. My post was modest, at best.
Kay, it was just some light chit-chat that got off the original topic when everyone started riffing on their favourite foods at the Square.
All in good fun, until you had to point out what terrible, terrible hypocrites we all are for *gasp* “breaking the rules” by saying something POSITIVE about our favourite places.
While the ORIGINAL topic actually IS worth arguing about, in all it’s bitch-worthy glory, the enthusiastic digression into the lunch faves hardly merits the mean-spirited invocation of “THE RULES.”
Sheesh. The spirit of the law sometimes overrides the letter of the law.
mean-spirited digression? I found it comical irony. I was hoping you would too. Oh well… I guess I got what I deserved for my audacity (???) Where should I line up for my spankin’? Geesh
hey, if my post was a “mean-spirited digression” what would you call Fat’s response to it?
But Ray’s really is a bright spot in the bizzarro-world of Scotia Square. He is a great guy, and deserving of all the accolades.
(And I do realize that we can’t push this naming-names thing too far here, but Ray really is more of a Fixture of Halifax or maybe more accurately an Unsung Hero, so people do tend to go out on a limb for him.)
