Uh yeah that's how its supposed to work. What exactly are you expecting Trump or any president to do?

I find it odd that Hurricane Katrina victims cannot relate to this event that just happened to me an hour or 2 ago.

3 weeks after Katrina I was gutting the old man’s rental houses, driving all over BFE looking for gas, trying to help siblings move temporarily to Baton Rouge, dealing with insurance companies over destroyed property, and rummaging through what was my house on the Pearl R. I’d moved into 2 weeks prior to the storm, after remodeling it for 2 years.


In other words, frick your $50. That dude can pick himself up by the boot straps and make his life productive again. I don’t know how long ago that storm wiped him out. But after 3 weeks, you’re just starting to finalize your formulated plan and networking with others that need your help (and vice a versa). If he hasn’t made better arrangements by now than hoping to catch a cab to a bus station to head home to Atlanta, what you did won’t really make a difference. He’d have made it there. Think of all the other people he’s scammed for $50.

Tl;dr that dude couldn’t pick you out of lineup tomorrow. Yuh got burned by a junkie.

I honestly didn’t expect anyone to not trust your story.
I definitely responded with sarcasm (yes I knew it was KM last phone was in miles but it’s 19’ underground covered in concrete.)

I think you did a good deed and you are a shirt off of your back kind of man.

I am that way too but have been burned by a number of people lately. Everyone has a story. That man didn’t end up where he was outta shite luck. He made poor decisions. You either saved that stranger or condemned him unfortunately

I mean you could’ve kicked him in the mouth

ETA: A’s an alternative - and some people would

Thefricked up part is that you could have died. Despite that Never forget they/we are all in this world together and some acts of kinds go along way.
Its also why I hate traveling with my mom, she always gets emotional and tries to help the world. I was in san diego whole foods eating and my mom and sister bought sandwiches for people outside. Locals prefer it if you dont contribute to them.
Either way if you want to help work at a local charity, something organized that properly evaluates the needs of people.

My uncle Anthony has a house on the course at Burnt Pine.

You know that guy?

He already had his bus ticket that was 3 weeks late.

He asked me how far down was the Greyhound Bus Station... I told him Destin does not have a greyhound bus station... you have to go down to Ft Walton Beach. He broke down.

If he had a ticket already... why was he trying to walk somewhere that didn't have a bus station? Wouldn't the ticket say FWB and not Destin?

No matter what anybody else thinks. He touched your heart and you touched his. That’s the moral of the story, and both of you will walk away better people.

have an Indian lady $20 at Walmart yesterday. She was holding a sign that said “lost my job, need food and diapers” her kids were sitting in the grass playing a board game someone bought them.

Man, is she could only walk 250 ft to that Walmart and beg for a job instead of ripping off everyone else. You do know these people make more in an hour begging than they do working so by you giving them money, you are actually encouraging this behavior.

Yea, people get down on their luck. There are tons of benefits and services available. Stop giving money to these people. Ridiculous how so many are too dumb to realize this.
