Devonshade, I hate to bring up an old subject, and they say don’t feed the trolls, but I can’t resist.
Yes, I gave to the homeless. $427.00 to be exact! It was for 2 car windows that one busted out, just to find anything to buy liquor with. He ended up stealing a CD case with CDs, my prescription from the doctor and my jacket. I really don’t mind helping a homeless person that lost his/her job and can’t find work, but the homeless person that busted into my car DOES NOT WANT TO WORK ! I found out they have been offered work, but refuse as they get assistance from the state but use it to buy booze sell the rest of their balance for cigarettes and possible drugs. So yes, I would say some of the homeless are dangerous and probably ex-convicts or are convicts and hiding from the law.
Senior citizens yes I have helped more so, as I was as you might say a care provider for my step dad after my mother passed away for over a year. I took him to the grocery store to help him with his shopping, to doctor appointments, and yes to take him out on drives. It was a 24/7 job as he was starting with dementia. I took him to places he wanted to go, but he was bored so you might say as one has said on here almost drag him to where I wanted to go. Guess what? He loved it, as it was something different to see, almost like Gertie “dragging” Uncle Walt to the Byrd concert. I “dragged” him as you might say to a technology conference when Windows XP was starting up. You know what HE LOVED IT!!! He loved seeing Antelope running in the desert trying to spot them on the way there and back. He loved the idea of not staring at the same four walls of his house or going to his usual places. I asked my kids to please if at all possible if I should ever get into that condition, PLEASE, don’t put me in a rest home or assisted living as I won’t get enjoyment out of the final days of my life.

No you can’t take it with you. But there are some things you can send on ahead.

Maybe there’s an air conditioner in there just in case he doesn’t get into heaven.

I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s new story. I hope it involves someone we haven’t seen in awhile. Just not Slim or Chef Meowrice!
