Along with the homeless people this morning. There is a homeless guy that rode his bike past my job site every single day, and everyday I get him a sandwich from dunking doughnuts when I get my morning coffee...and he almost cried every day. One morning he was sitting at the entrance of my job with a big smile on his face. He had won 500 dollars on a scratch of and bought a room at the cheap hotel across the street for a week. He had a breakfast sandwich and a large hazelnut coffe with cream and sugar in his hands for me. I said "man you didn't have to do that I was getting ready to go get yours for you" he said "you made sure I had something to eat everyday for the past 62 days...today it's my turn." I lost it right there. He now works for my dad's construction company as a cdl driver (my father and I payed for his classes) after being homeless for 5 years he lives in one of my dad's trailer parks and is engaged to be married early next year and he has asked me to be his best man
That.... Is awesome!

I'm extremely picky in the "homeless" that I help out. Around Indy they have done exposes on the people looking for corner handouts and in 100% of the people they followed, after putting in a full day, they tossed their signs to the side, then climbed into decent cars and drove to their homes. Sickens me.

That isn't to say I don't help those who I believe need help. In a town we lived in there was a guy who always sat near the grocery we went to. He was in a wheelchair and obviously belonged in it because of clearly having leg issues, and sort of had that look of someone who just needed help. He never begged, just sat in his wheelchair taking handouts whenever they were offered.

Every time we went to the store, I walked out with a bag of bread, peanut butter, jelly, and some fresh fruit for him along with some plastic knives and paper plates for him. Occaisionly I'd ask him what kind of sub he was in the mood for and I'd get him a fresh one from the deli in the store.
Ya.. back in the late '80s/early '90s I saw a news show about professional panhandlers in New York City... The decent ones could make $300-$500+ a day..

Sorry buddy,
just figured since me and the friar had the place all to ourselves I'd be a little adventurous and show my mug.
LOL even had it as my avatar for a bit too :D
Now you have me scrolling through my mind like crazy

Good Morning, friends!

Wisdom: Leadership
A person who cannot genuinely empathize with others can never excel as a leader. So much of what ails society today is the result of too many people in leadership positions who do not or cannot identify with the plight of their fellow men and women.

Good morning AU. Bummed I wasn't lurking last night and missed the shy Fishee face.

Question for you Fasttech buyers...it's been awhile since I ordered anything, Paypal wasn't an option since I was buying an atty??? so I used a CC. Now they want me to take a picture of the front of my CC and send it to them. I don't wanna. Is that shit safe to do? I could skip the atty but I don't want to do that either. What to do?
 

Hey! it's just Ray...

Oh Hell No! They all may start going to that to see that we have the card and not just the numbers (like they're gonna care) but I wouldn't wanna be the first to do it!

Sigh. I know. Thanks Ray. Guess I'll have to give up that atty. Stupid Paypal.

I don't have any issues with PAYPAL. They just pay from my account. I have bought any number of things from FT and others with no issues. Maybe they know I am older than dirt!!!!

No atty's through Paypal huh? What's an "atty" again? Battery mod?

No, not even any batteries. The atty was just a kayfun-ish style tank.
paypal is becoming as restrictive and nazi-like as ECF.
IKR? I just remembered that REO mods had that hassle with PP. Couldn't sell attys through PP anymore, but the mods were OK. Makes a lot of sense. Not. PP must have the same bank as BT.

What's the surgery for?
one of her huge molars in the back was cracked, they did an x-ray and found 2 extra teeth (molars) behind it that were not supposed to be there, removal of cracked tooth and 5 cysts on her back
