Life on Jupiter: Ed Croke
http://melissabea.blogspot.com/2014/03/gratitude.html
Food relationships. activism. life in Jupiter, Florida. Tuesday, March 4, 2014. Today I met the dentist who is going to give me a free tooth. A really good dentist who graduated from Columbia is going to give me a free implant. This came about because I felt impressed to share my sad dental history with one of the volunteers at El Sol, who turns out to be a very wealthy man who plays golf with a very wealthy periodontist. Ed called up a meeting with Dr. Feldman, and now I am his patient, 100% pro-bono.

http://melissabea.blogspot.com/2014/02/first-entry-four-months-later.html
Food relationships. activism. life in Jupiter, Florida. Friday, February 28, 2014. First entry. four months later. 4 months ago I moved to the Town of Jupiter, Florida. I never thought I would end up here. In attempt not to bore the reader, I am going to keep this short and simple. I'm in love with my life here, in love with my boyfriend, my new friends, and the warm winter that South Florida provides. My relationship with my boyfriend is also worth writing about, not because I want to bore you with the ...

Food relationships. activism. life in Jupiter, Florida. Tuesday, April 8, 2014. Or, "I think 70 degrees is cold! And I say something like, "We are a resilient kind.". Or perhaps I just don't feel like doing anything at all, but I feel guilty because of the ingrained idea that summer will be over soon, the thought that I can't waste this gorgeous day, winter is coming. I haven't truly felt winter since early 2012. And now my first Florida summer is just beginning. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Life on Jupiter: You don't have to be rich in your 20s
http://melissabea.blogspot.com/2014/03/you-dont-have-to-be-rich-in-your-20s.html
Food relationships. activism. life in Jupiter, Florida. Tuesday, March 18, 2014. You don't have to be rich in your 20s. Circulated the internet recently. I really enjoyed the first parts, until I felt like she was saying that by the time you are in your late 30s, you should start to become more concerned with money and possessions. What if I don't ever think I will be able to afford a headboard or high thread count sheets, or even a proper shower curtain? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Life on Jupiter: Oh, the Palm Beaches
http://melissabea.blogspot.com/2014/03/oh-palm-beaches.html
Food relationships. activism. life in Jupiter, Florida. Wednesday, March 12, 2014. Oh, the Palm Beaches. I won tickets to go to a Mayor's Ball, a charity event that supports the Homeless Coalition of Palm Beach County. My friends and I were very excited to have the chance to meet some of the most rich and powerful people in the county. But then we missed cocktail hour and therefore missed all of the networking possibilities. Mayor's Ball Fundraiser Poses Test for Ethics Rules. The Mayor and I! It makes m...

Life on Jupiter: Welfare Queen
http://melissabea.blogspot.com/2014/03/welfare-queen.html
Food relationships. activism. life in Jupiter, Florida. Tuesday, March 4, 2014. This is an excellent breakdown of poverty in the US, the welfare system, and who is really gaining. I met with over 250 AmeriCorps VISTA volunteers this year at PSO, and in our small group we spent most of our time discussing poverty. "What is poverty? I really love this video. Please watch. Her arms semaphore fat triangles,. Pudgy hands bunched on layered hips. Where bones idle under years of fatback. Of crimes clichéd by.
