Occasional bums?

If I gave $ to every bum I see I'd be broke. so I pick and choose, here & there... Usually one who is crippled or plays an intrument (they're not always homeless, but anyone can use a few bucks that I won't ever miss). I usually tell the smooth talkers and the addicts to beat it, or worse I give the addicts a quarter and tell them to go out with a bang. really...they're going to kill themselves anyway, maybe it'll get through to them, I never can tell. If they look in pretty sound shape and are young I tell them to "go get a F-inb job I work my ass off and you should too! >:("

DO you know I saw only one bum while in Melbourne AUS...ONE! It was the only one I saw in the entire country, actually.

When commuted to college via the bus I used to have to transfer in downtown Seattle in front of a mall.

On the corner was this bum and his dog. He was there for about 6 months. He wore sunglasses and a long coat. His dog always looked so sad.

He had a sign that basically said that he was blinde and deaf. He never made a sound. He just sat there. I gave him a dollar everyday.

Well this one time I got a big bonus at work so on my way to school waiting for the bus I gave him a $20 and I got on my bus.

When I was just about to get on the bus, I heard him say 'Hey I like your new hair cut. And I said 'thanks'.

As the bus drove off I was like WTF??? How did he know I got a new hair cut? WTF??

I never saw him or his dog again after that.

So for a while I didn't give any money away.

There are people out there who will take advantage of you. There are also people out there who really need a hand out.

It's easy to say to these people to get a job. But you need a phone to get a job. How else would a prospective employer call someone back?

The way I see it, is I have a few extra dollars. And if someone is desperate enough to have to swallow their pride and beg then by you know what? I'll give you my extra dollar. I'll probably just burn it one something I don't need anyways...

yes, I know that. but if the guy is missing his arms, yeah...I think he might be hard up. My dad knew a guy in NYC who made over $100K begging the streets of NYC. Much more than a phone, you need an address in order to have a job, but if you're a 20 year old herion addict, it's not my problem that you decided to try herion and ruined your life over it. I don't know how else to say this but I rarely do anything without careful observation and thought, so I don't make any stupid mistakes. ;)

Well of course I'm not going to give my money to some kid with a bunch of track marks on their arms.

Of all the people that bum money on street corners, I think that there are more people who are really down on their luck than there are people who are begging for money who are addicts, or to lazy to get a job.

Of all the money I've given to people, I'm sure I have given some money to cons (I pointed one case out above). But all in all think that I helped more people out who were really down on their luck than people who are addicts, confidence men etc....

And I think the ratio of who I've really helped make it worth it to me. If say I give 10 people a dollar each, and 7 of those people were really down on their luck that's worth it to me!

What's $3 dollars towards 3 addicts or a fake bums versus $7 dollars helping 7 people bring home a happy meal for their kid so that they won't go hungry that night? That's how I see it. :-\

Clothes, shoes and food. Now im an Ikea addict. Bling, there's a Zara in miami?? The one up here is soooo nice and they have the BEST sales rack!! I always hit it up when i get paid.

Yes,

Aventura mall second/third floor by the Cheesecake Factory entrance...can't miss it.

There's one in Otown too, but the one up there sucks balls, at least the men's section does.

Most of my shirts r from Zara, great quality/price.

House upgrades....I cannot seem to keep myself out of Home Depot. My latest project set me back $45,000 (pool). But it'll be worth it next month when its done....next up, re-landscaping the backyard around the pool. It's a neverending battle...
