Helping the Homeless

GOD HERE said:

My parents sent me away to the Idaho desert from december to the end of january when I was 14, obviously there were no showers, and after freezing for two months a hot shower was the biggest dopameine rush my brain has ever experienced.

I bet the curved soap bar made it pretty great too!

I worked with YCC (Youth Conservation Corps) in the very early 70's clearing canoe trails in Everglades Ntl Park for a couple of months - July & Aug.
100+ daily with mosquitoes that could almost literally carry you away.
What a way to spend a summer.

LOL, mosquitos as big as choppers.

All is well that ends well. I suppose none have overstayed their welcome and required eviction. Totally a bad idea imho. Most homeless are that way for s reason, often mental illness. If I want to help I can donate time or money but they aint coming home with me.

I tend to agree.

Hey, you guys (and gals) don't get me wrong. I let them take all of my beer bottles back for deposit, and they can keep it.

You sir, are right! That's why I keep a lock on the outside of their door. After curfew they have to go to their room. I need to be able to sleep. I also set up a trip wire in case I get a wily one.

Who bailed you out ?

Oddball! Good to see you.

I have not been in jail. I have been doing work to pay off some debt. I did hit big enough to get the work to pay off he rest. One of my "assignments" was the priest. Turns out he wasn't paying, so I worked something out with him that worked for both of us.

I told my mom she was a cheater and to fuck off. When she got lippy I threw her a solid beating. Should have seen the look on her face when she went through the coffee table! Felt so good. All the shame and resentment came out and I whipped her ass. Even took off my belt wrapped it around my hand and whipped her with the buckle. My bed never felt so good.

Glad you didnt kill her.

Freed said Tolbert has given a statement regarding the homicide. He will also be charged with robbery because police say he stole money from his mother, after killing her, to purchase drugs.

Every year I go downtown and find some older homeless folks. They have to be over 50 and clearly not a junkie or drunk. It takes a week or two sometimes to find the right person. I bring them home for the Winter and let them have a room as long as they do their chores. They keep the place clean, take out the trash, wash my car (too cold out for me to do it!), do my laundry, iron, fold my clothes, make food, watch my grow at night, make my drinks, rub my feet, clean the hottub, keep the chemicals right, sometimes paint a room, and usually I have them doing some piece count job I find online. If they fail at anything or refuse to do what I say, they are back out on the street. I don't care how they get back to their natural habitat, just ga ga ga goodbye! Anyone else do charity like this during the Winter/holidays?

Sir, your heart is in the right place. You are a true charitan. I've always known these laws going on about "human trafficking" were some kind of nonsense designed to strip me of my natural rights. I am definitely going to give some serious thought to your methods.

The only thing that bugs me is that it would be difficult to control a potential thief. With modern technology, surely one can purchase an ankle bracelet that keeps track of a person of interest. If the person goes outside the programmed zone, you get a text message. If they try to remove it without authorization, it goes into "taser" mode. The charitable possibilities of such a device boggle the mind.

Clayton, the morning news just said the Pope is going out in disguise mingling with the homeless this season, be carefull not to nab him up, someone might notice him missing.

welcome back mr bigsby

gonna help this year i think, its good for the soul

Sounds like some warm homeless people sleeping without the fear of being assaulted, enjoying living in a house again, living like a normal person. I was homeless once, a hot shower daily is like one of your senses; you don't know how great it is until it is gone.

Clayton, my brother from another mother, if there is no fear of assault you are not in the Holiday Spirit. Nice to see you back

Good for you man, I'm done helping the homeless.

A few years ago I took in a homeless man to work on a rental property in exchange for room and board.

After a few days of not doing anything he told me he needed fentanyl patches for his back pain.

After refusing to get him the patches, he refused to help me anymore so I sent him on his way.

Come to find out from the sheriffs dept. that he broke into a cabin a few miles down the road.

People are usually homeless for a reason.

never pass up a hot meal, a hot shower or a warm place to sleep.

I offered a homeless man a sausage roll, he asked if he could just have the money. I walked off leaving him nothing.

So, what you are saying, is you go down town to pick up a slave in need of a home... Nice....
Good For You!

My dad, would stop at a corner see a homeless guy, get out, hand him a twenty and tell them Jesus loves them, and god cares, then get back into his Escalade and drive off...
He was good at giving it away...
I worked for him, the last 10 months of his life...
He dies and owes me his son, $30,000.... yet he would stop [with me in car and give away 20's.... ]....
------
My favorite HOMELESS story:
Down in down town San Pedro, I had to pull an Electrical permit.... Liquor store near by, I stop for a bottle of water....
Old Gal, 55-60ish [probably in her 40's]
Walks up to me,smiles [missing teeth], and asks:
"Sir, I was wondering, if you could give me a dollar so I could buy me a beer..."
It was 10 am....
"Mame...here's two dollars, you look like you could use a beer, have a nice day..."
