re: Parents who beg for money so their child can play baseball are trashy

Dear Diary,
I hate people who beg on the corners who are more than capable, half of the time they're scammers anyway. Being a kid begging for it is no different.

Know what I appreciate and like?

Kids who go to places like Advance Auto Parts and simply ask them if they would like to donate supplies and allow them to do car washes on the lot. The one in Belle Chasse is HUGE on helping, you bring the hoses they supply the rags/soap, you see it monthly from sports teams, BCHS teams, even the fire dept and navy go out there to do it. I don't even get a car wash most of the time, but if I have cash on me I donate.
