Without question Sheldon wins, you lose.

It's the holiday season is that all you have to do, bash Sheldon?

Go feed some homeless people and stop wasting your time.

But I don't give a rats ass about Sherman. If you can use that sorry excuse for a news reader
that AOL provides, you'll see I'm on his **** list. I don't think he's missed one of my posts
with his silliness. I'm so upset I'm going to enjoy my holiday and only be able to get 8 hours of
sleep tonight.

Sherman is just a meat-puppet. Obviously intelligent enough to play some very amusing games, but not
amusing enough for all the waste-of-time threads.

Your posts are pretty dumb too. At least you're not top posting now. You spent years in my bozo bin
because you refused to post in a readable manner.

Gar <------no kill-files anymore. It's more fun to read luzzers.

Or you could wish Dimitri a Merry Christmas and a New Year filled with many video games
being sold.

He is right... I did this the other day.

I was out Christmas shopping and saw a guy sitting on one of the bridges in my residential area,
around midnight. Didn't think too much of it as there are lots of pretty Christmas lights... but the
same guy was sitting on the same bridge the next night when I went to finish my shopping. :-(

I stopped and asked him if he needed some help. He was homeless, but had a family in San Antonio,
and just needed money for a bus ticket. I gave him the last 20 bucks out of my coin purse, and he
headed straight for the local grayhound station.

I cried on the way home, wishing I could have done more for him.... <sigh> I get really emotional
sometimes over that stuff.

You did more for him than most. You might have even changed his life through your good will.

You're a really good person. May you have a blessed holiday.

Katra, you did a great thing. Most people would have pretended he didn't exist.

I hope so... When I got home, we made some sandwiches to take back to him, but we were unable to
find him again. It's about a 2 mile hike to the bus station... I hope he got to his family ok! I
really do.

Thanks for understanding.

Agreed. I'm not real good about approaching people, though I occasionally surprise myself. I have
most certainly walked past my share of people who appeared to be homeless. I'm more comfortable
donating to soup kitchens where people who need a meal can go, or to food banks where people with
homes but no food can get some.

You're also very kind to non-strangers who need a bit of help, Nancy. Don't ever forget that!

Merry Christmas.

Yep, that too, and she's certainly one of the brighter notes here on RFC.

Aw, shucks, what a nice thing to say, you're making me blush.

It's not without risk...

I'm probably one of the few that actually give money (and the occasional fast food meal) to
panhandlers....

<shrugs>

I'd like to see a national "adopt a family", where everyone on one street would help out a local
needy family. That'd be neat!

We do have an excellent local food bank.

I agree.

While charity begins at home, we all need to consider our less fortunate fellow humans.

It's good Karma too! <G>
