Panhandling
|
|
I myself have been homeless and down to where I had to panhandle in order to get something to eat. I didn't like doing it. But when you are hungry. And haven't ate anything for a couple days, you have to do something. After being homeless and being around others that are in the same situation. You get a second nature feeling that a person is really telling the truth about being in real need of food. Or if that person is in need of beer or wine. Now. Some people may say the famous cop out line " Get a job ". Like I had often received. But being homeless means that at times you have no way to take a shower, or wash clothes. And have you ever tried to find a job when you are wearing dirty clothes, unshaven,and unbathed? Not all that easy.Especially in these days where unemployment is so high. Employers can afford to be picky about who they hire now. I have been fortunate enough that the Lord has blessed me to where as I was able to get out of the homeless situation. And able to have a roof over my head. Food in the refrigerator. A car to drive. And a washer and dryer to wash my clothes. So yes. I give the dollar to most of the people that ask. And sometimes more when I take the time out of my day to actually stop and talk to them about their situation. There has even been times when taking the time to get to know the reason they are homeless I have found out that they got stuck in a place far away from their home town. And no way back home. So I have driven them home to either their parents house. Or a friends home. And yes. At times it meant driving through 3 states. But believe me. 99.9% of the time when I see the tears, hugs and kisses they receive when they get HOME, makes it all worth it. So. At times if you are able. Before you give that dollar. Take the time to talk to them. And try to find the REAL reason they are in that situation. It may touch your heart. thats a beautiful sentiment its always easy to judge others by assumptions, 'get a job' has to be one of the more ignorant responses people have to other peoples misfortune,,, Im glad you got out of your situation,,,, |

the social landscape has changed families broke up and less children grew up with any real examples of lasting substantial commitments and more and more examples of casual sex, casual relationships, fwb, booty calls,, etc. Sex became dispensable entertainment and love followed soon after. I think in the quest to make everyone the same, we lost the old fashioned ways that went along with men being chivalrous , women being ladies,,etc,,,and the ROMANCE that accompanied those complimentary roles,,, to me, romance is thinking of the other person, either by fixing a nice dinner, or remembering a spot that's special to the other and taking them there,, romance is paying attention to the little things and putting in time and effort and 'thought' in stead of just money,,,, |

I believe that through the years, romance has changed through the generation.
Most people now a days have no clue what " Courting " is. Most people now a days have no clue what Respect means. Or. That you can really be in a relationship that sex is not the #1 priority. But. Yes. Times have changed. Gotten to a faster pace. The age of electronics. Which I will not go there. Its already beencovered in another thread. |

Cussing.....
|
|
Yes. Alot of times I cuss when talking to friends, and people I know. But. If the person that I am hanging around with at the time don't cuss. Then out of respect I try my best not to.
And I also don't cuss in front of kids. I am trying my best to get to a point where I don't cuss at all. but after being used to it all through my life. It's not all that easy. |

I wish I had never know abuse by someone who claims they loved me. Makes me think that when a person (not friends or family) says they love you; that is just a joke or just a causual word like hello. |

WOW!!!!! How funny that this subject came up now.
Yesterday afternoon while watching the Giants and Green Bay game, the power went off in the whole neighborhood for about an hour. And as I recall, the first thing that I said to my dog was " Well, Keno. What are we going to do know? " And try telling me that dogs are not smart. Because after I said those words. He started to play with the dog leash that I have hanging by the door. So. We had something to do after all. |
