you think your are doing good and the person receiving the charity is not even smart enough to not shove it in your face before you are even out of sight.
Gophette and I were leaving Foodlion in Leonardtown one day and were approached by a young woman. She said she was out of money and needed formula and food for her child. She looked pitiful ( I guess crystal meth does that to you). Anyhow...we couldn't resist her plea and gave her the money and continued on to our car. When we got to the car we looked back to see that she was not going into Foodlion but was entering the door to the liquor store. Maybe she was trying to boost her income by investing the money I gave her into a winning lottery ticket.
I HATE being so cynical and I hate feeling guilty not helping those who truly need it. It almost seems like people need credible references that they are truly in need before we feel free to give them a hand. That sucks whether it's the Christmas season or not.
I told a friend this the other day:
Even if the dad is a scammer and deadbeat, giving is its own reward and you can't feel bad about getting some little kid a Christmas present.

A Sugar Daddy before Christmas...

It's Yahoo, which is free, so they do not necessarily have access through a regular provider.When you click to reply to the ad it comes up with an email address of "yankeelady2007"
its unfortunate what society has become. To question situations like this. fifty years ago, people kept their doors unlocked at night and let their kids play till the street lights came on. Now people are skeptical to help a neighbor or someone who is in need, thinking it might be a scam or ploy for money. The circumstances are what we make it. Maybe come 2008, voters will select a president who is capable of bringing back social peace in this country. How can we help others if we don't help ourselves?
Yeah I do have one or two smart brain cells.![]()

Read every post here, and if you could do that and still feel like donating to these people then I wish you - and your money - the best of luck.Evidently you didnt read my initial posts... I'm just sick and tired of being sick and tired.

I'm naturally skeptical; people fall under the same scrutiny every other part of the world does. :shrug:Yeah... Yesterday I was just like you.
At least I know you're not totally off your rocker...If you give them cash it is spent on drugs and alcohol. Even in my fragile state I know that.
