Ex-Quip Lindsey agitated, motivated
Ex-Quip Lindsey agitated, motivated
By Mike Bires firstname.lastname@example.com | Posted: Saturday, May 5, 2012 8:05 pm
PITTSBURGH - Brandon Lindsey likes the way he looks in black and gold.
He envisions himself wearing a Steelers' uniform in games that count.
It would be a dream come true to play for the team he and his family root for every weekend during the NFL season.
But for that to happen, the former Aliquippa High School star must overcome long odds.
For starters, he's an undrafted free agent.
He also signed with a team well-stocked at outside linebacker.
"I have my foot in the door," said Lindsey, who'll be at team headquarters again today for the third and final session of the Steelers' rookie mini-camp. "But now I have to do the work. I have to do everything in my power to make this team."
Last weekend, Lindsey expected to hear his name called in the NFL Draft. He surely thought that one of the league's 32 teams would pick him in the later rounds. However, Lindsey wasn't one of the 252 players selected in the seven-round draft.
"I was disappointed. I was mad. I was in tears," said Lindsey, a starting defensive end at Pitt the past two seasons.
"My pride was hurt a little, not hearing your name called. But this gives me something to shoot for.
"I have to make the best of a bad situation. I have a big chip on my shoulder. I just have to be hungrier than the guy in front of me."
On the Steelers' depth chart, James Harrison and LaMarr Woodley are well-established starters at outside linebacker. Jason Worilds (second round in 2010) and Chris Carter (fifth round last year) are backups who were drafted by the Steelers.
If the Steelers keep only eight linebackers as they did last year - four inside, four outside - Lindsey might be able to stick around on the eight-man practice squad. If that were to happen, he'd be paid in the range of $88,000 for the year. Most importantly, he would be able to be part of the Steelers family. He'd be able to continue to learn and improve his techniques in the complex schemes of defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau. And virtually every year there are instances when a practice squad player gets promoted to the active roster due to injury.
When asked about the linebackers ahead of him on the depth chart, Lindsey said "I'll pick their brains as much as I can and get as good as I can come (training) camp time. Then we'll see what happens after that."
On April 28 when the draft ended, Lindsey and his agent were on the phone discussing his options as an undrafted free agent. Within an hour, he came to terms with the Steelers.
"We looked at some teams and their depth charts. We looked at my best possible scenarios," Lindsey said. "It came down to staying in my hometown and playing for the Steelers.
"It would mean a lot to me if I could play for the Steelers. My family and I grew up Steelers fans. My family would love nothing more than to see me play for the Steelers."
Right now, there are no guarantees that Lindsey will ever play a down for the Steelers. But like he said, he has his foot in the door.

Brandon Lindsey to Steelers: Scouting Report and Analysis
By Barbara Bruno (Featured Columnist) on April 29, 2012
Pittsburgh wasted no time in signing rookie free agent and former Pitt Panther, Brandon Lindsey. A stand-up outside linebacker (or two-stance DE) with powerful hands and good spin when it comes to blockers, Lindsey is an aggressive player with significant growth potential.
Impressive in the tape that one can find, Lindsey made the All-Big East team in 2011 and ranked second in sack percentage in the nation.
Lindsey rushes the passer well even though he doesnt have elite speed. Oh heck, he doesnt even have good straight-ahead speed (40-times range from the high 4.7's into the low 4.9's).
But he does have quick football speed and can come off the ball with a good jump. He accelerates well towards the passer while still keeping his eyes in the backfield.
His vision also enables him to knock down passes while rushing the quarterback, and he excels at taking an aggressive angle on QBs and rushers to frequently great effect.
Lindsey was thrust into the starting role due to injury in 2011 and responded well to both the challenge and the opportunity, stepping up his game and gaining notice (Lindys Pro Football Draft).
Something that should never be overlooked in a football player: Lindsey has hands that are almost 11 inches wide. Wow.
That same aggressive spirit is also Brandon's greatest liability, since he can over-commit and miss the tackle while aiming for the big hit.
While Lindsey has the athleticism to move well in the flat, he really doesn't play the run at a pro level. Theres just no other way to put it that isn't mean. Even nfl.com called him adequate.
Although he seized the moment and played well when he became a starter, Lindsey reportedly tired when pressed to play every down (Lindy's). That and his tendency towards giving in to his own instincts and overplaying the ball will need to be addressed if he is to succeed in the pros.
He is a good athlete who can play very unevenly, but with enough potential that it might be possible to coach him up.
Potential Rookie Impact
Some agree that he has good hands (CBSSports.com), some even like his run-stopping prowess (Lindys) and some say he is explosive (MockingTheDraft.com). But there is a general air of hesitancy in most scouting reports regarding his overall readiness to excel in the league.
Considering that he served primarily as a standout reserve in college and that he has a lean frame, Lindsey may need some time to grow into a professional role. Hell almost certainly bulk up and will need to improve conditioning and ball discipline.
If allowed to work into a rotation as a stand-up pass rusher, he may well break onto the field in 2012.
Otherwise, hell have to try to survive on special teams until he matures in terms of technique, judgement and strength.
One thing in his favor is consistent durability, which may give him the time he needs to develop.
CBSSports.com compared Lindsey to Steelers star LB LaMarr Woodley, which will be not only a thrill to Pennsylvania native Brandon, but should also serve as inspiration to earn that accolade alongside his new teammate.

Steelers have Pitt QB Brandon Lindsey on free-agent tryout
May 6, 2012
Associated Press
PITTSBURGHBrandon Lindsey spent last weekend gathered in a room with his family waiting for the phone to ring.
The former Pitt linebacker didn't expect to hear his name called in the first round of the NFL draft, or the second.
Then the third round passed. Then the fourth. Then the fifth.
At that point, Lindsey grabbed the remote and turned the TV off.
"I didn't want to hear it anymore," Lindsey said.
Instead he turned his attention to figuring out where he wanted to sign as a rookie free agent. The answer was stunningly obvious.
Lindsey spent five years in the same building as the Steelers, practicing on the same expanse along the Monongahela River. He often wondered what it would be like to walk through the door on the left which leads to the Steelers headquarters instead of the one on the right that leads to Pitt's football offices.
The reality is even better than he imagined.
"I'd been over here before but it's nothing like when you're a part of the organization," he said. "Now you know you're a part of their team and it's a great feeling."
One that is in stark contrast to the roller coaster Lindsey rode during his final year with the Panthers, who went through four head coaches and a couple of interim ones in the span of 14 months.
Lindsey was a second-team All-Big East selection at defensive end under Dave Wannstedt in 2010, only to see the coach who recruited him let go, leading to a series of missteps that culminated in Todd Graham bolting Pitt after just one season for Arizona State.
All that tumult hurt the Panthers on the field, and perhaps the professional prospects of the seniors. The draft came and went without a Pitt player being selected, the first time that's happened since 1999.
"I think it hurt us just not having the sense of home," Lindsey said. "We didn't feel like we had a place we belonged. You go from one system to the next to another one. It's hard for any 21, 22-year-old to get used to losing your coach two years in a row."
Lindsey did his best to pitch in during Graham's brief tenure, moving from end to "Panther" linebacker, a hybrid position that gave him the freedom to either stand up or get down in a stance on a given play.
All that shuffling around, however, came with great responsibility. Perhaps too much. Lindsey's sack total dipped a bit to 8 1/2, though his presence freed up things for the guys in front of him. Defensive linemen Aaron Donald and Chas Alexcih combined for 17 1/2 sacks while linemen keyed on Lindsey.
Though Lindsey believes switching positions "hurt my production" it also gave him perspective.
"I tried to make the best out of a bad situation," he said.
The constant moving made it difficult for NFL teams to project Lindsey at the next level. Does he pack on 30 pounds on his 6-foot-2, 250-pound frame to play end or drop a little weight to play outside linebacker?
The Steelers will have Lindsey stand up and try to find a spot behind veterans James Harrison and LaMarr Woodley.
The ranks behind the two Pro Bowlers are pretty thin Jason Worilds is the only established backup and Lindsey believes he's got a legitimate shot to survive the long journey from minicamp to the final 53-man roster in September.
"It doesn't hurt to play behind LaMarr Woodley and James Harrison," Lindsey said. "You can't learn behind two better players. Hopefully I'll be able to pick their brains and see how they go about their business, how they practice, how they play and that will rub off on me."

I have called Kraft once in question of what enzymes were used in their cheddar cheese. The person on the other end seemed to think I was ridiculous for asking and suggested that there was no way to tell. Frustrated, the call ended.
I have since gone to Kraft's website to find that they use very specific enzymes in their different cheeses.
I was curious which enzymes were used in their Velveeta (specifically asking which animal). The first response told me, "Yes, we use animal enzymes," a form response, actually, that I had already read from their website. I rephrased the question, minimizing the number of questions (as I had asked a few), and the response I received only went into MORE depth on how cheeses are made. In honesty, I probably would not have been concerned with which enzymes were used (or even known that cheese requires enzymes) if I had not already known how cheese was made.
Needless to say, I am highly disappointed in the customer service quality of Kraft Foods.

Why did you need to know this information? is there a health issue related to certain enzymes? If not, I can only agree with zzrokk, you were wasting their time and "yanking their chain".

shootingstar1284 on 02/12/2010:
What enzymes are used in a certain product doesn't seem like the type of information that would make its way down the bureaucratic food chain to the call center. Are you asking because you're a vegetarian/vegan? Or are you unable to consume certain enzymes for health reasons? These seem like the only logical reasons someone would contact the manufacturer for this type of info.
madconsumer on 02/12/2010:
for what reason does it matter what enzyme they use?
Anonymous on 02/12/2010:
There are religious reasons for not wanting to eat products made with animal enzymes. People with these concerns eat what's called halal foods. Kraft should be able to answer questions related to that. Maybe it was just the way the question was asked. (Velveeta is not halal.)
Anonymous on 02/12/2010:
None of their cheeses are most likely and the OP should know that.
Most likely trying to stir up a frivilous "veggy lawsuit."
Ytropious on 02/12/2010:
Of all the things they teach their call center staff, what enzymes are in their cheese is probably not something they all know. I think you just have to realize what you are asking is slightly unreasonable. Also cheeta they were able to say they were "animal enzymes", maybe it's not the same animal every time. That should have been all the OP needed to know.
Anonymous on 02/12/2010:
Anonymous on 02/12/2010:
This is certainly not an unreasonable question and not so complicated that the answer cannot be provided by a CSR. For someone who is concered about this stuff, the type of animal certainly matters. In fact, Kraft already has much of this information on its website, just not for Velveeta (that I could find). From the FAQ on their website:
"Q. What is the enzyme derivative of KRAFT Singles?
"A. The process of converting milk into cheese is dependent on coagulating through the use of an enzyme. The enzymes in this product are sourced from both microbial fermentations and animal sources. The animal sources are cow, sheep, and goat."
It's different for its Macaroni & Cheese: "The enzymes used to make our cheese powder in packages of Kraft Macaroni & Cheese are derived from an animal source (calves and sheep)."
If Kraft wants to sell its products to people who are concerned with this type of information, all they need to do is make their FAQ a bit more complete. If they don't care about these customers, fine. The OP has done a good job of raising awareness about this issue.
Anonymous on 02/12/2010:
Chee, this site is about telling the people who write reviews and their opinions about companies how wrong they are. Someone has a problem getting the info they need to make an informed decision as a consumer, and they are challenged with "Why do you need this information" and "They told you enough info already; you don't need any more." It doesn't matter that Kraft already provides much of the info the OP is looking for, all that matters is that the OP is wrong for ever having brought it up.

rhachel.t on 02/15/2010:
Actually, my concern is religious. I know that Velveeta is considered neither considered kosher nor halal, but I am specifically curious if Velveeta contains any PORK enzymes. In my experience with customer service inquiries of this sort, customer service does not give serious regard if I tell them WHY I want to know. It should be enough that I want to know what is in my food.
**Update** I have since CALLED Velveeta to ask them, and the customer service representative to whom I spoke said they get their enzymes for Velveeta from a random supplier (and don't know which animal is in there). Of course, I have gotten different answers from other companies when asking the same question to separate representatives, so I am still waiting for a response by email.
tnchuck100 on 02/15/2010:
Solution: Do not eat cheese. At any given time all manufacturers may change their process and/or ingredients.
Avoiding processed foods for religious reasons is going to be a never ending uncertain endeavor to say the least.
rhachel.t on 02/15/2010:
Yes, I do understand that there is risk involved. If the enzymes they use rotate between cow, sheep, and goat, I'm not really concerned. If there is a chance, though, that porcine enzymes could be slipped in there, I won't consume it.
I enjoy my cheese, and I'd sacrifice it if need be, but I don't see the need yet.
There are some companies that specifically state on the labels that they use only microbial enzymes. Kraft is not one of these, though.
PepperElf on 02/15/2010:
I recommend trying a kosher cheese - which velveeta is NOT.
one website recommended using a combination of American & Chedder as a substitute.
note - rennet is not considered "meat", but it must come from a kosher animal that has been slaughtered according to the laws of kashrut in order to be called kosher.
so, kosher cheese will not contain pork derived rennet.
rhachel.t on 02/16/2010:
Thanks, PepperElf.
I think the reasons I was looking to Velveeta were the affordability and convenience factors. While there is certainly rabbinically kosher alternative, it usually comes at far less convenience and affordability.
Of course, if Kraft doesn't pull through, I may have to look to a certified alternative for my homemade queso. ^_^
Jane on 02/14/2014:
I can't eat pork ingesting's for health reasons , I really like Velveeta and my family also likes it, but if they can't give me the answer, I will not use it anymore. Sorry Kraft I have to leave you.

We recently purchased 6 boxes of TACOBELL taco shells made by Kraft Foods. Every single box of shells is rancid, they smell horrible and we've had to throw all of them out. I searched the entire Kraft Foods website looking for a place to enter a complaint and none such exists. I've never encountered a website by a major company that didn't have a complaint center and offered some resolution to your complaint and discontent. Kraft offers none of that on their website. I will never buy TacoBell products from Kraft again, the smell of the taco shells was enough to take away your appetite!

Why take the vitamins out of TANG???
Posted by
I have been buying TANG for the last few years for my son, who absolutely loves the stuff. There are several reasons I didn't mind giving it to him over juice... They were: 1) it was vitamin fortified and 2) it had 1/2 the sugar of 100% juice. I go to Sam's a few weeks ago and realize the container is a LOT bigger. I think, "Hmmm, there is something going on here," but I didn't have time to really look the container and ingredients over thoroughly. I get home and start to really look into why the container was so different. They have clearly added twice the sugar and took out the vitamins. Now it only contains vitamin C. Vitamin C is great, but having more vitamins in the drink mix was better for my son who can be a picky eater. The fact that they have doubled the sugar is irritating too. No wonder the container is so much bigger! They added more sugar as filler!!! Has anyone else noticed this?

I asked my Dad how he can drink that stuff because he might as well just drink a bottle of vinegar...he just laughed at me and said, "Are you SURE you are Italian and wasn't switched at birth in the hospital?" ...LOL!

Kraft Real Mayo ( Not Real Anymore)
Posted by
Remember when Coca-Cola came out with New Coke. Looks like Kraft has just done the same with the great mayonnaise that many of us have used for our entire life.
It appears they changed out the lables a while back. I remember thinking it was odd that they went from a really decent looking label to a cheap, generic looking label they are using today. When the labels switched I though the mayo did too but it had not ( at least not yet ).
It seems to be that they got folks used to a new label and then started phasing it in to stores thinking we might not notice. Well I got my first jar of it the other day and noticed on the first taste. I thought it was spoiled. Another taste and I thought Miracle Whip. What I finally determined was this is a light version of Miracle Whip. I personally dislike Miracle Whip, hence my reason for buying mayonnaise. They are not the same thing.
Please write or call the company and get out real stuff back. There are too many things changing in the world as it is. Some things are just good the way they are and don't need changed.

Nohandle on 05/17/2009:
We heard this a while back on this website. Thanks for the reminder. I've been picking up a brand called Hellman's or Sauer's. I've not had a problem with either brand but they might not be available in your area. I don't know yet why Kraft decided to change their mayo. I had bought that product for years.
BokiBean on 05/17/2009:
Sauer's is good too, and the price is much better than Kraft around here.

Switch to Miracle Whip. It's been the same great taste for years
Anonymous on 05/17/2009:
Does anyone know what exactly they changed? I usually buy Hellmans, but have been known to grab Kraft if its on sale.
BokiBean on 05/17/2009:
Miracle Whip is salad dressing! I never met anyone who used it that way, but isn't that what it says on the bottle?
I like both mayo and miracle whip but there is two different animules..
raven, I dunno what they changed..I grew up with the stuff but now it has a slight fishy oily taste to it. I should say that in my family, its just me that gets that aftertaste from it.

I've always substitued Mayo with Miracle Whip...but when I do use Mayo, it's always been Hellmanns...I don't like the chuncky look of Hellmanns, but when I use it for potato salad or Mac salad, I always use half Hellmanns and half Miracle Whip.
BokiBean on 05/17/2009:
I looooove Waldorf Salad!
Starlord on 05/17/2009:
I was raised with Miracle whip, and can't stomach that white axle grease they call mayonnaise. I agree, mayo and Miracle Whip are not the same thing. Miracle Whip has half the fat and one third the calories of mayo. It also has a much better flavor.

Mayo only has two ingredients... how different can it be?
Crown Jules on 05/17/2009:
I agree with the OP, Kraft mayo has tasted funky to me for months now. I used to buy either that or Best Foods (called Hellman's in the east), whichever one was on sale, but now all I buy is Best Foods. Most store brands are nasty so they're out. I like Miracle Whip, but only with tuna.
Anonymous on 05/18/2009:
Hmmm....went grocery shopping this morning, needed mayo for potato salad ( memorial day picnic YUM). Kraft was on sale, a LOT less expensive than Hellmans. Any other day, I would have bought the Kraft without a thought, due to the sale.
Thanx to this review and many of you backing it up, I decided on the Hellmans.
Anonymous on 05/18/2009:
Sorry, C2O, MissMarple doesn't buy Kraft. Sauers, all the way.

Postum vs. The money Grubbers
Posted by
Postum lost after one hundred and thirteen years, Kraft in its infant (infinite) wisdom has discontinued Postum. It was not filling their pockets full enough or fast enough. They would rather sell junk sugar filled foods with a high profit margin rather than keep with the founders, of both Post and Kraft, ideals for heather foods for the masses.
I think we need to show Kraft aka Post we won't stand for it and boycott all of their food entities.
Check the web and find any and all Kraft owned business and boycott them, also boycott their food products.
I know this will be asking a lot for some, as Kraft does make some superior products. But if we want healthy products on the store shelves than sacrifices must be made.
There is still Pero is still made because it is made in a health conscious country (Switzerland) not a money hungry one.
Shame on Kraft

Postum was a powdered coffee substitute sold by the Kraft Foods company. It was a kind of roasted grain beverage. The caffeine-free beverage mix was originally created by company founder C. W. Post in 1895 and marketed as a healthy alternative to coffee.--- (From Wiki)
With words like powdered, substitute, beverage mix, marketed as healthy and the like, I can see how this is good for you.

I don't think there were any special health benefits to Postum. Its heyday was when coffee became scarece during WW II. It's amazing it lasted as long as it did.
heaven17 on 12/28/2007:
I didn't even know the stuff was still on the market.
Which is probably the reasoning behind this decision.
Kraft is a business designed to make money.
Why produce what you can't sell?
spiderman2 on 12/28/2007:
I saw this on the shelf at Wegman's yesterday. I have never seen it at any other store. Kraft would keep making it if enouh people were buying it!

Talked with Kraft Foods,Inc. (aka Post) today. You can call them to at 1-800-431-7678. They confirmed, apologetically, that Postum was being discontinued due to lack of customer demand. Some say it has been only recently off store shelves. The Kraft customer rep indicated that the company would be open to more consumer
feedback. If you can call them they will take your comments.

Ad for Zesty Salad Dressing
Posted by
WATSONVILLE, CALIFORNIA -- The ad for Kraft Zesty Salad Dressing is not only in stupid bad taste, but it is in stupid bad taste.
Having a guy's shirt catch on fire when he's cooking with a salad dressing and of course his chest is shiny and ripped..
Who ARE the ad people that comes up with this stuff. I certainly hope women across USA don't find this sexy.
It's right up there with the Liquid Plummer..snake your drain ad. Geez

In the advertising industry it's been known for a very long time that sex sells. In the two ads you mention the sexual references are obvious. Take a look at ads for other things and you will see many rather subtle sex references. Mostly they are subliminal, but sometime very clear. Ads for alcoholic beverages contain references to not only sex but death as well.
Search for subliminal messages in advertising. Then be prepared to be really shocked at what you've seen without really noticing it. There is nothing in an ad that isn't accidental.

try contacting the telephone number on the box and give them the package production information. often times they will send you coupons for free product!

Look for a phone number or email on the package and call them about it. Chances are good they will send you a coupon for a free box. They will want the numbers from the box. Posting it on this site will not get you anything.

I found this on Wikipedia while looking up Postum (I've never heard of it):
It was discontinued in 2007, but by May 2012, a small company, Eliza's Quest Food, obtained the trademark to the Postum name. As of July 14, 2012 Postum is being sold through the Postum.com website. Eliza's Quest Food is working on placing the product back into stores.

We took back some Salmon we bought from Meijer last night. What Meijer does, I have been told by workers, is wash old fish with water to get rid of as much of the bad smell and then put it back to sell again. When fish is bad, you can tell when you try to eat it. Also, it is a good idea to ask to smell the fish before you buy it---that is if it is not already in a package. I don't think buying fish already wrapped in plastic is a good or safe idea in the first place.
Bottom line, when you get bad food, always take it back and get your money refunded. Most people just throw it away. That only encourages stores to sell outdated or bad food.

I'm not a fan of Kraft cottage cheese in general. I almost always get the store brands. Actually, Prairie Farms makes really good cottage cheese too.

Nohandle on 09/07/2011:
I've never bought Miracle Whip but always bought the Kraft Mayonnaise. The recipe/formula, was changed a few years back. That's when I started buying the store brands or different brands for real mayonnaise as it is called. There honestly was a difference in what Kraft now calls mayonnaise. I don't know what they did, but it's not good to me.

ticia232 on 09/07/2011:
I am with the others. I have not seen a change in taste. My mother just made potato salad with it a couple of days ago, and it lasted for 2 days after she left.
Starlord on 09/08/2011:
We have used Miracle Whip all of our lives, and we have noticed no change in the product. For lunch today, I had a baloney, salami and MW sandwich, and it was as good as ever. Maybe your jar was left on a loading dock too long. I would contact Kraft Foods or the store where you bought it.
kenoiaina on 09/25/2011:
My Aunt, Mother and myself have all noticed that the Miracle Whip gets watery after 2 days. We have always made our recipes the exact same way for many years and noticed this past year that we are having problems with our recipes being watery around 2 days later.
GenuineNerd on 09/25/2011:
Is the Miracle Whip kept in the refrigerator after opening? If it's kept at room temperature, it could get watery. I prefer Marzetti Slaw Dressing, although I think it's only available in the Midwest. That makes great potato salad.

It's Alright Mitt, We're Only Bleeding: An Open Letter to Mitt Romney
By now there have been innumerable responses to your comments uttered behind the closed doors of a posh fundraiser in Boca Raton earlier this year. When I first heard about the video, I was interested to learn you had finally stood for something. I hoped that you had finally awoke in the eleventh hour of this election and realized people find you, at worst, horribly dangerous to this country's future, and at best, totally unrelatable. Then I read the transcript from the infamous "informal talk."
Let's be honest, I probably would have been offended by your comments, no matter what was happening in my life at the time. I'm a born and bred liberal. I spent the first decade of my life in Canada, that great nanny state that your ilk fear America will devolve into.
I should have had the same reaction I've had to all your many missteps and blunders of the past few months. You're so out of touch with normal, average people, with their daily stressors and strife.
But this was different. In a horrible moment of clarity, I realized you were talking about me.
As we've all realized by now, the 47% is not a homogenous group. Many are existing on benefits for the "Working poor," many are elderly (what an excuse, right?), many are underemployed and make less than $20,000 a year, and some, yes, are unemployed. The very same people you have repeatedly professed a so fervent desire to help. Just a few weeks ago in Tampa, you promised, if elected, you would create 12 million new jobs. But now your true feelings are clearer than ever: you find the poor repulsive, not worthy of your help or attention.
I don't think you grasp how many kinds of "poor" exist.
I have been part of the 47% since I left home. You could argue, and I'm sure you would, the last three years were self-inflicted—I was in graduate school. I could have asked my mom for the money for school (per your suggestion), but I doubt she would have had it handy. So, it was loans for me. Plus, a Research Assistant salary of $800 a month.
I like to tell the story from my first year in graduate school, when I called my mom from the dentist's office to tell her I had to have emergency surgery on an abscessed wisdom tooth. My surprisingly debonair dentist had just towered over me in the chair and told me it couldn't wait. My jaw was totally infected, swollen to the size of a healthy mango. He told me they had to come out that afternoon, the abscess was pressing on my windpipe.
I have to go to class, I told him, attempting to swallow. I meant, I have nothing to pay you with. My school insurance hadn't covered my trip to the emergency room the night before, so I was already out $500—probably all my money in the world. I had decided to go at 2 a.m., after fielding three or four haranguing calls from my family. I was reminded that I was responsible for my health.
I reckon there were some members of the 47% in that waiting room that night. I could have asked them, asked the two people huddled under a blanket on the floor or the Mexican woman holding a screaming and coughing infant, but I spent the whole time running to the bathroom to spit blood and pus into the bathroom sink.
I don't want to scare you, the handsome dentist lied, the following day. But if I let you go home and sleep like this, there's a chance you're going to asphyxiate. Doctors are not often members of the 47%, but we pay them to watch out for us. If I was an idealist—or an idiot—I would say we pay our politicians to do the same.
I sobbed on the phone to my mom. While she is not in the 47%, she is miles away from the 1%. She told me to put the procedure on her credit card. She raised me and my sister on her own. Put herself through school and eventually earned her doctorate with two little kids in tow. I believe her when she tells me, We all need some help, sometimes.
A few months ago, I found myself in a different portion of the 47% pie chart. Two weeks after I graduated, I got an entry-level editorial job at a prestigious literary magazine. Minimum wage, but in the industry I have been training and working to be in for the last years of my life. Six weeks and a handful of personnel changes later, the job vanished. It left me and my boyfriend stranded in the town we were already prepared to leave behind. The very thing we were working toward had vanished before we even became familiar with the feeling of it in our hands.
While we attempted to regain our footing, Matt, whose vision has been failing for the past year due to Type 1 diabetes, suddenly lost total vision in his left eye and most of the vision in his right. He was forced to go on disability leave from the job that provided our only steady income up to that point.
My life since then has been drastically different from anything I had ever known. It has meant hours spent looking for jobs in a town where there are precious few. It has involved many empty bottles of Pepto-Bismol, because any food I eat hits my stomach and turns into lava. Nights lying in bed, when my brain will not stop running, spinning worries and calculations that cause me to sweat and itch and feel my heart dance around my chest.
It has meant a mind-numbing game of seeing how I can create a meal from less than the cost of a pack of cigarettes. Coupled with crushing guilt at having to spend the same money on something as unnecessary as cigarettes—a habit I've only returned to because of stress. It has left me exhausted and edgy, sending my mother half-joking emails with links to Craigslist ads that offer to harvest my ovum for $3,500.
It means telling Matt that I am unsure if he can get the surgery he needs so he can go back to work, because I'm not sure we can pay for the pre-op office visit. The surgery itself is ok because it will be billed in a later month, in the unknown future, when, we repeat to ourselves as a mantra, things will be ok again.
Do you see how well we are living, Mitt?
In the doctor's office that morning—I put the visit on the credit card—the nurses pulled out plastic tubs full of arcane and outdated medical equipment. Their fancy computers and sensors couldn't see behind Matt's eye because there was so much blood. I knew, once again, we had made the responsible decision.
In the waiting room, an elderly man in a worn plaid shirt and dingy khakis sat patiently as the medical assistant explained his Medicaid payments to him. She explained to him the form she held in her hand, as she had to us. It said we understood we would have to pay for the surgery in full if our insurance company or his Medicaid denied the claim. He nodded quietly and signed—as Matt had—his signature far above the dotted line, crookedly dancing into the white space.
Do you see, Mitt, how much fun we're all having?
Some people in your campaign are angry that this person snuck into your private meeting and recorded you actually speaking your mind. Somehow, because you intended those words to only be heard by people who could afford to pay $50,000 to hear you speak honestly, that means that the other majority of the country has no right to hear them. That we have no right to be hurt by them.
I doubt I will ever be one of the people in that room. I doubt you will ever be one of the people outside. That doesn't mean our dreams are equally American. Perhaps you will someday understand that people do not feel entitled to have food and jobs and healthcare and housing handed to them. Perhaps you will someday understand that they simply feel they are entitled to not go without when they are needy.
After the abscess debacle, the much-weakened Affordable Care Act was passed. It allowed me to return to my mom's insurance, which could, any day, save my life. Forgive me if I feel like I am entitled to this. Forgive me, if I fear losing this small reassurance at the moment I need it most. Can you honestly call that entitlement?
Mitt, I could tell you how much I spent on toilet paper this month. I could tell you what the price of collard greens is when they're in season in North Carolina, and how much I've grown to love them. I could tell you how much it costs to have the lens of an eye removed and replaced with an synthetic one; how much it costs to drain blood and restore hope and a chance of sight.
You stood in Boca Raton and said that half the country doesn't understand personal responsibility.
I can assure you that I, along with every member of the 47%, am personally responsible for every single dollar that escapes my bank account; for every vial of insulin we buy. I am responsible and thoughtful about every morsel of food that enters my body.
Because each of these decisions is of great consequence.
I am well aware our money behaves very differently. What is a resource to you is a necessity to me. While mine gets closer and closer to depletion, to nothingness, your money acts like two chinchillas in a cage. It sits silently in domestic and foreign bank accounts, and reproduces endlessly. Your total worth is probably not something you think about on a day-to-day basis. Perhaps if you had ever stared at $67.81 in your bank account and not known what would replace it when it inevitably disappears, you would understand why I am so angry with you.
I feel fortunate that I've only suffered, so far, through what amounts to a brief moment of living with unemployment and disability. Of coping with the crushing terror and hopelessness that is part and parcel of living in this fashion. I promise you, no one wants to live like this indefinitely.
So Mitt, I close by saying I hope you don't think I hate you because you're rich. You dared to paint half the country with one broad brush and deem the poor not worthy of your worry. And so, I have deemed your candidacy not worthy of mine.
Millions of people have been underemployed or unemployed for far more weeks, months, or even years than I have. I have no right to speak for them, nor do you. Just as you have no right to utter the words my fellow Americans and expect any of us to buy your myth for one day longer.
I am praying for the first time in a long while. I am hoping that things will improve, that this struggling and needfulness will stop. That the daily effort of throwing all my hope in someone's face for $8 an hour will produce some results.
We all have hope because we know we have the power to change our own futures. I think you underestimate our power to affect yours.

Social anxieties and shyness can degrade the quality of your life. Here are some cognitive and behavioral coping tools to live a social life that fits with your interests and temperament.
Paul Simon wrote a popular song titled 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover. In the opening refrain, he sings about problems that are just in your head. Then he offers advice for setting yourself free, such as "drop off the key, Lee."
If there are 50 ways to leave a lover, then there must be at least 50 ways to manage your shyness, overcome needless social fears, and feel positive and natural at social events. Among the following 50, test the ones that fit you best. (To make each tip memorable, I've added a Paul Simon-type preamble.)
1. Keep fighting fear, Fred. Fear of fear feeds on itself. Plan to survive this temporary discomfort, and you'll find that you can not only survive it, but also feel more comfortable with yourself.

The family of a bullied teen who committed suicide is suing the city, the Board of Education and the children who allegedly picked on him.
According to the lawsuit, 12-year-old Joel Morales was bullied for two years before hanging himself in May 2012.
Morales' mother, Lisbeth Babilonia, says she complained multiple times to the Department of Education and filed a complaint with the New York City Police Department.
"He told me about it many times," Babilonia said through an interpreter. "I went to school and spoke with the teacher, spoke with the assistant principal, with the principal. We met many times, with the teachers, with everyone, even with the counselors, and nothing. Everything stayed the same. They did nothing."
"No one really could've said that they said they had helped because, I mean, he's still not here," said Richard Salazar, Joel's brother. "He's still missed by everyone, by the whole family, and the pain that everybody feels, can't no one really describe it."
Morales' family says the bullying took place at P.S. 102 in Manhattan.
The lawsuit alleges that the school held a meeting with the bullies' parents, but the children continued to harass Morales physically and verbally.
Morales transferred to nearby P.S. 57, but his family says the bullies still tormented him after school.
A representative from the city Law Department says the case involves "very tragic circumstances" but declined to comment further because of pending litigation.
