Amen Bigdog. It's unreal the amount of stories I hear about good folks falling on hard times. I've seen it with friends and family as well and most of these people were successful in their careers but couldn't make it through the tough economy. People should absolutely count their blessings if they're doing well.

My wife is one that refuses to open the door after dark if she does not know the person, believes that the home repair guy/carpet cleaner guy, painter, computer repair guy, are all just out of prison and actually there to case the house and come back and steal things or kill us. But she is the first one that passes someone on the street and makes me turn around and chase them to give them some money because she senses they need it. Women.

Actually. Now, I need to amend my stance on this.
I will help everyone and anyone but I must ask which nfl team they are fans of.
Giants, stealers, eagles and Commanders fans = they get nothing. Just a good luck with everything. Have a mediocre day!
Lol

Stealers, Eagles, and Commanders I agree. I don't hate the Giants with the same gusto as I do the other three. (well, maybe Brandon Jacobs)

Kind of on the same track with a twist.
Brother in laws nephew was short a car to get about.
We gave him our old one in good running order for free.
He used it for awhile then sold it for cash.

Guys. Let's not fight. We know I am a stinking Giants fan and no reason to fight because of me. On the other hand, don't fall for the tough guy persona Sam I Am is displaying here on this board. He is sweet as a candy. Not a tough guy at all. But I have to say, he is one crazy Cowboys fan. He almost got into a fight with Giants fans due to a pass interference call at the Cowboys-Giants game at Metlife. He is one tough SOB for sure. Trust me.

I was at a Goodwill doing some volunteer work from driving with a suspended license when I was approached by a man. He asked if I had 5 dollars so he could buy a nice shirt; he was homeless and had a job interview lined up that afternoon. I don't give money to homeless people, but I figured I could just pay for it for him at the register.
I went up and down the racks with him until we had put together a very sharp looking set of clothes for him to wear, along with some shoes. I paid for it at the register for him. I then offered to give him a ride to his interview. He said it wasn't for another couple hours, so I took him to my apartment and let him shower and get cleaned up. Took him to get a fresh haircut.
I took him to his interview at a call center for a car emergency response servicing place (like OnStar). I gave him my number and asked him to let me know how it goes.
I didn't hear from him until about 5 months later, when he was calling me from his own cell phone. He wanted to let me know that he had got the job, and got an apartment near his job and a bike to get to work.
He cried and cried thanking me, which made me cry. He told me I saved his life. It's one of the most powerful experiences I've ever had. My court ordered volunteer work literally saved someone's life. Everything truly happens for a reason, even if we don't like it at the time. I wish I could get in touch with him again to see how he's doing.

Good stuff.
About a month ago my uncle sold his house here in Chicago (where I am at the moment) and was at his new place (in San Diego) moving stuff in. He asked if I could toss what was left in the house. I get to the kitchen and throw away a lot of stuff left in the fridge that wouldn't keep well; but as I got to the pantry I decided not to just throw the stuff in the dumpster. I doubled up a trash bag so it wouldn't break and stuffed that thing full of pantry food, threw it over my shoulder, and walked down the street until I ran into a homeless person/someone struggling. A lady sitting on a ledge waiting asked me if I could spare something, so I dropped the whole bag for her.
