-- Nothing is quite like truly helping make someones life a little better...
 
Even if it's only for a week.

There's a homeless guy that walks around my area - a lot.

He pushes a shopping cart loaded w/ winter survival stuff and other bull shit.

I've joked w/ the QT employees and I refer to this man as "Busta Crimes"

But anyhow today i saw him and my heart gave in - as it's getting pretty cool for Atlanta, this afternoon.

I talked to him for the first time today and asked if he was hungry - as tactfully as I could w/o insulting him.

I went to QT which was a block away - bought him a $40 in qt gift card dollars. I almost felt like crying doing all of this - he said 'thank you for your blessing' I told him that I TOO was blessed and nobody will go w/o food if I can prevent it.

I then asked him if he was cold - he said yes that some of his blankets needed to see the cleaners - I told him that I'd BRB - and I went home and got about three high quality blankets and three Sheex pillows that are/were queen sized.

I feel really blessed and I hope you all have a good week, next week.

Pardon any typos - I actually have a date to Chequers which is a Gilbert Robinson Bristol Bar&Grille clone.

Take it easy!

all that and you're getting laid a lot more

If you were truly doing it for strangers, and not to just make yourself feel better, you wouldn't come bragging about it here.

Good deal, bro. You're a quality individual. Way too much girl stuff flowing through your veins sometimes but I love you anyway.

Who boasts about $40 and some old blankets? I read it as encouragement to others to do something nice for a stranger.

He's going to use the gift cards for booze.

no - again - I have managed to get to know the clerks at QT - this man roams three blocks, pretty much all of the time - I'd know if he drank. I've asked...

The QT is a block from me.

Simply Red 11-23-2013 03:27 PM

I'm over it - it just felt good doing it and wanted to share - that's all.


Feel free to let this thread sail to the lands of 'Have you ever licked a chick's ass' content.

How the **** did you come up with that conclusion?

CP's savior "Chris" is going to be SO proud.


You can {/thread it} once my buddy shows up. :thumb:
