Those who HAVE dont stoop to see what those who have not even need. People with less income always tithe more and give more of their time as well. Just my opinion.<br />Also when you dont have much but you can help someone less fornatuate than you it makes you feel better.<br />debbieodebbieohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16591676862695285439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4270739423727419862.post-87362906086516290382012-09-24T16:49:12.593-07:002012-09-24T16:49:12.593-07:00There are folks here who camp out in the brush, al...There are folks here who camp out in the brush, always has been. Used to be a lot of panhandlers too but the cops ran them off. There is a place nearby called Timon's Ministries which feeds folks, and they are busy every day. Every time I go to the grocery store or the corner store, I see people paying with a "Lone Star" card (food stamps).

I was surprised to hear he'd called. She said she had threatened to have the cops waiting for him if he didn't! Meanwhile, on our voice mail is a very terse message from my cousin in Sarasota. "You can pick him up this weekend before 6 p.m. Saturday. YOU should be ashamed of yourself for letting this happen!"<br /><br />What magical power do I have?<br /><br />I must discover what it is because there's a lot I'd like to change in this world, beginning with certain people's attitudes.treesonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09364847483878018809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4270739423727419862.post-34284314570984353502012-09-13T10:22:10.611-07:002012-09-13T10:22:10.611-07:00Boy, I can feel your pain on this one!

I stood in front of her and counted to 10 a few times while the clerk glanced our way. Finally, I turned and said: "Didn't I see you a couple days ago in the post office complaining the same way?"<br /><br />You could have heard a pin drop.<br /><br />She didn't know what to say based on the blubbering half formed words that came out of her mouth.<br /><br />Meanwhile, I retrieved the items from my walker basket. CATCH that, I was using my walker and not complaining about it. Ms. Poor Me kept staring at my walker so I said, "Ain't she a beauty?" <br /><br />She didn't answer.<br /><br />I paid for my purchase and turned to Ms. Poor Me.<br /><br />"You need to stop whining and be grateful you're even have a life! Now get on with it and shut up for a change!"<br /><br />Guess my lack of medication makes me a bit fiesty.<br />treesonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09364847483878018809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4270739423727419862.post-86421261138047131752012-09-11T11:05:07.451-07:002012-09-11T11:05:07.451-07:00I'm afraid there is always at least one in eve...I'm afraid there is always at least one in every crowd now days!<br /><br />One more reason to stay away from large groups!HermitJimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13631580830147175636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4270739423727419862.post-43680827136078441322012-09-10T13:03:00.225-07:002012-09-10T13:03:00.225-07:00Well, for years my dad said he would lay in bed an...Well, for years my dad said he would lay in bed and hurt or maybe get up and move a bit.
