Rubber Bands for the Homeless, Trick or Treat.

Been doing some fall cleaning around the home. Finding things to toss out or put out with a free sign on it. I happened to uncover some huge bags of rubber bands. I'm talking big and bulky bags. You know like the kind you might find at some surplus office supply outlet. I must have picked them up at some weird liquidation sale for next to nothing. (I just must have forgotten about them. How did I do that?) But hey I'm talking tens of thousands of rubber bands of different shapes and sizes. Plus many many colors. The minute she saw them my wife wanted me to toss them in the garbage. I asked her, "Are you nuts?" No one in my family would toss away rubber bands like that. If my relatives found out I can hear it now. He must be like Elon Musk or Bill Gates. He is so rich that he can just toss rubber bands around like nothing. He's probably even lighting cigars with hundred-dollar bills. Nope, I'm not tossing away good rubber bands. I asked my wife if she uses rubber bands. She said she hadn't used a rubber band in years. I explained how I use rubber bands all the time. I believe every home should have 3 things: paper towels/toilet tissue, double A batteries, and rubber bands. ( Jeez didn't you ever watch MacGyver on TV? Half the time his gimmicks were made with paper clips and rubber bands.) After giving it a bit of thought I told my wife with Halloween Trick or Treat Night coming up I'm going to have two bowls, one with our candy treats in it and one with a bunch of those colorful rubber bands. Then kids can take a candy treat and a handful of rubber bands. My wife made this sour face and said fine but you're working the door for Halloween this year Buster. I told her "Fine! I can't wait to hear the parents continually saying: "Hey what a cool idea." The kids can even go home and make their own little rubber band ball. Boom. I also think I'm going to put some of my gazillions of rubber bands in tiny snack bags and when I see a homeless person panhandling I'll pull up and toss them some change and a bag of rubber bands. I think they'll love it. They can use the rubber bands to hold the sole of their shoes on or create a makeshift belt to hold up their pants. I asked my wife if she'd go along with me to hand out rubber bands to the homeless. She said she wanted no part of my community outreach with my rubber bands. I did call my youngest daughter and told her my rubber bands for the homeless idea, and asked if she'd ride along with me while I did it. After she laughed for a minute she said: "Sure Dad, I'll go with you. Hey, you could end up on the news. I will expect you to treat me to Starbucks afterward." No problem honey, being charitable makes me thirsty too.

"Refuse Panhandlers Is Advice Given by Employment Officer," Kingston Whig-Standard. 1933-05-24. Page 14. ---- A great many complaints have been received recently about panhandling from door to door by single unemployed men and transients. Major Stroud has asked the Whig-Standard to request the people of Kingston to stop giving money to men who come begging at their doors. A camp has been established at Barriefield by the Government to take care of these single men and Major Stroud is having difficulty in getting enough men to fill. He needs between thirty and forty men tomorrow morning and does not know how he is going to get them. The Government camp, it must be understood, is operated on a strictly voluntary basis. Men don't have to go there and many men are refusing to go because they feel they can do better begging from door to door. This camp has been established by the Government to take care of the unemployed single men in this district and if they refuse to go to camp, they are deserving of no sympathy from the citizens of Kingston. Major Stroud will appreciate it if, when men come to the doors begging the householders will refer the men to Barriefield Camp. Barrlefield Camp is proving a big success. These men who are established there like the life and feel that they are being fairly deal with. They are given army rations, clothing and boots and an allowance of twenty cents a day for cigarettes and tobacco. The working hours are from eight to twelve and from one to five. The evenings are free and those in charge endeavor to make them pleas ant. A radio has been installed and a number of magazines and books have been donated by citizens. What Major Stroud in his capacity as Government Employment Officer, would like to point out, is that when people continue to respond to door to door appeals, they are simply standing in the way of Government plans to take care of single unemployed men. He hopes therefore that from now on he will receive the hearty co-operation of the citizens in getting the camp filled up as quickly as possible. "FATHER OPPOSES SON ON RANGES," Kingston Whig-Standard. 1933-05-24. Page 14. --- WINNIPEG - Fine markmanship appears to run in families. The St. Charles rifle range here saw nine fathers on one butt shoot shoulder to shoulder with their sons. Lieut. W. Worsick, Winnipeg Light Infantry, and his son George took first place for high scoring with 34- 33-32-99 and 31-33-31-95 respectively. And the success of Sergeant J. H. Neats, Winnipeg Rifles, second. high scorer for the day with 34-33-30 -97, may have been due to the cheering of his four-year-old son when his father made the white sign come up more often than any other competitor on his target.

The Man With No Head

Let me explain. As I was leaving CVS on a cough drop run, there was a wheelchair parked in front with what looked like a stuffed suit propped up, like something you’d put on the lawn for Halloween. NO HANDS, never had more meaning. When I asked Fruity about it, my beloved fruit man selling his wares on the corner, who amid the din of the early morning, couldn’t understand what I was…

The Cat Litter Crisis

I’m an honest man; I merely report what I see. While going to the drugstore for my brother, a scruffy, bearded panhandler asked me for help. It seems he was out of cat litter and his poor cat was down to a little pile in the corner of his box. I said, “Most folks would just let the cat outside.” The beggar replied: “I really need some help.” I responded, “Everybody does.” As I pulled out and…

i mean i don't think it's evil to give a homeless person food instead of cash, even if the reason is because you don't want them to spend money on drugs or whatever. the BEST thing you can give a homeless person is whatever they need at that moment, and the second best thing is cold hard cash. but when i'm panhandling i'm never going to say no to a snack and i'm still going to be grateful even if i can't eat what they gave me.

today someone gave me a bag with three meals in it, but they were all frozen. i don't have any way to heat this food up that won't make it taste weird (like putting it on my engine or something), so this stuff is inedible to me. i tried all day, but without a microwave it's just. not gonna be good. i'm still grateful that she tried to give me something useful.

i have three pairs of gloves i got for free, and i took them all because who knows what might happen? i might lose two pairs, or they might get holes in them, or it might end up so cold i need three layers of gloves. i might meet someone else who needs gloves.

it's important to acknowledge that not every homeless person can take the food you want to give them, or might not need food because they can get it through other means. it's important to acknowledge that substance abuse issues are more complex than 'if i can't afford it, i'll quit' and that a homeless person drinking some beer or smoking some cigarettes or weed isn't a moral failure or a lack of priorities on their part. it might not even be at the level of substance abuse. at the same time, i don't think you have to give us cash or nothing. give whatever you're willing and able to give.

like it says on my sign, anything helps. yes, cash helps the most, because cash is the gateway to pretty much anything else i could need. but morale helps a lot too. knowing people are kind and willing to give helps. a free bag of cheetos helps.

#homeless #homelessness #panhandling #just some thoughts after doing the panhandling thing for a while #to be honest i was NOT grateful for the bible i got that one time #but i said thanks anyway

Panhandlers

When it comes to panhandlers I'm not the most giving person in the world. Part of it is it seems those asking for handouts are everywhere. This asking for money has gotten so bad that I've almost gotten numb to it. Every store asks me at the checkout if I'd like to round up my total and give the extra change to some needy outfit. I don't do it as often as I used to because I'm tired of being asked for my spare change. I've wanted to ask the cashier if they could round my total down a dollar because I'm short a bit of cash? I'm sure the next person will round up and cover it. Trust me security would be over and I'd be out the door in less time then it would take you to say troublemaker. My wife came home from work the other day to tell me her panhandler story. She had just got to her car and unloaded her groceries into the trunk at the grocery store. As she got in the car and was getting set to leave, a lady approached her drivers side window and asked her if she had any money she could give her. She said she needed money to feed her children. My wife (Who has a much bigger heart then I have.)told her she didn't have any cash but had just purchased an eight piece bucket of fried chicken and some potatoes to take home for dinner and she was welcome to take it The lady goes I gotta feed my children I need cash. My wife told her the chicken is already cooked and you are welcome to any of the groceries I have in my trunk to take home to your family. The lady just yelled at my wife I don't need your food I need money. I'm going to go somewhere else to see if I can get money. My wife said the women seemed high. Obviously she wanted money for drugs not food. I finally had to ask my wife the big question. Honey if the panhandler would have taken our fried chicken and potatoes, what would we have eaten for dinner? She said it would have been a "Fend for yourself night" in the dinner department. Wow, I'm sorry that woman is on drugs, but I'm glad she doesn't like chicken.

This map?

Yep!!! Couldn't remember if it had been posted before or not, lol. Can definitely attest to New Mexico hating Texas, personally 😅 Our drivers are not good and the Panhandle/northern part of West Texas does not... well, I'll just say they don't always put our best foot forward, and leave it at that.

#welcome to the table #wttt #genuinely though i would rather die than drive through the panhandle at night. New Mexico part of any drive in that direction is fine but #the texas part??? do you know how many ghost towns there are on the drive from austin to anywhere in that direction #please note the mention of west texas is not about anything west of like. Odessa. trans-pecos is fine. the chihuahuan desert is less #scary than boom and bust towns in the middle of the night tbh #as extensively established- i love rattlesnakes. i am much more afraid of ghosts

I don't know which miserable, anti-AO3 dickhead needs to hear this, but nobody is obligated to donate to you, especially when you're being an entitled cunt about it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#ao3 discourse #every time ao3 does a donation drive we get like hundreds of posts about how #people who donate to ao3 should donate that money to people essentially panhandling online #not realising that 1: people can donate to more than one thing if they want #there's not like a donation quota that says each person can only donate to one thing per month or whatever #and 2: we actually know exactly where the money is going when we give it to ao3 #that random internet panhandler could be a fucking scam for all I know and I don't really have a way of figuring out whether or not it is #this happens a *lot* more than I think people realise #so when my funds are low #but I still wanna donate #yeah I'm gonna donate to something that I 100% know where the money is going #and not some random person online who could be scamming me out of my money for all I know #you do not get to tell me how to spend my money #and being an entitled little shit about it is not going to get people to donate to you or anyone else who might need it
