I know what's that like - my hubs couldn't find a job for a while and it scared me! I'm glad that you're okay now!<br />xoxo<br /><br />photojoy: I know that feeling. I just want to know the difference between the timing of when I want to give and not give. It's so hard. Hugs!<br /><br />Southern Sage: I didn't know that, Sexy cowboy! I really didn't. Now that explains it. I didn't understand why they have to beg when there are places for them to go... I'm so sad about this, some people are totally lost in hope:( xoxoMakihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05640331613748386545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5308962174867269063.post-59620498051556804892010-05-23T21:36:06.440-04:002010-05-23T21:36:06.440-04:00Well I too feel bad about the homeless but I will ...Well I too feel bad about the homeless but I will tell you this. Often the homeless can have a bed and meals for free, but there is a catch, they have to be sober to get it. Often they choose to not be sober and not get the bed and meal. There are HUGE resources for vets, as well there should be, and they can take advantages of them if they are sober.<br /><br />Giving blesses the giver, not the given. When you do that you SHOULD feel good.

A man came up to me and shouted something that I didn't understand at all.

Nicole: Oh yes...eri: I get intimidated too! {Hugs}<br /><br />Nicole: Oh yes, I do remember there were SO many homeless people in SF. I used to be amazed by the number of people begging when I lived in Berkeley. I think Bay Area has more homeless people on the streets more than any other cities. It's really a sad situation....<br /><br />Duchess: I totally understand what you're saying.
