Yeah I talked to my parents about it. My dad said, "I'm glad that guy didn't jump you. Oops, I mean, I'm glad you didn't give that guy a jump."
If I were a man with a dead battery, I wouldn't ask a lone woman for help,
Yeah, in someone like that's defense (if he was not a stuff-women-into-trunks kinda guy), he probably didn't even think of it. I have a male friend who always seems surprised by stuff like that--the things a woman has to think about.
The homeless guys were going to the local restaurant, selling the certificates to kids going in after school (at a cut rate), and then using the money to buy booze and/or drugs.
That's so awful! I had thought about doing McD's certificates before, and never even thought of all the bad ways they could be used.
Invariably they refuse. I'm not judging these guys
Oh, yeah. I think that usually they need a kind of help I'm not really equipped to give them. But I'd like to be able to offer the kind of thing your husband offers.
If it makes you feel better, add up what you *would* give them, and instead give it to a local homeless shelter as a contribution, or volunteer there yourself, if that's something you're comfortable with.
I've thought of that before and think it's a great idea...I should start doing it.
No, I really appreciate what you have to say, and no comment is too long. Except for possibly those ones I do that take three posts because I keep exceeding the word limit. ;o)
