How about if they just donate without having to brag to the DUmp like civilized people do.  Nah- then they wouldn't get the feel good vibes from their stories. 



Or just take a few things from their pantry and give it to the family.  Hold them over for a couple of days.

Of course.  A Cadillac is the type of car you drive when you want to run over poor people.

My true Bouncy tale:

I have a relative who is 18 or 19 and pregnant. She's single and moved out from home. Not long before Christmas my wife went to town with the girl's mother. That evening when I got in I heard the tough time the girl was having. She was having trouble paying rent. She almost couldn't afford to buy groceries. She couldn't pay for insurance on her car and on and on. She is getting EBT, but still the whole situation weighed on my mind all night long. The next morning before leaving for work I wrote out a check and told my wife to take it by to the girl.

A few days AFTER Christmas I learned that instead of using that money to buy groceries or pay bills she used it to buy Christmas presents for her boyfriend, her friends, her sister and mom and dad. Shortly after that I found where she'd been posting on Facebook with her cell phone. I don't have data plan for my cell phone because I can't justify the expense, but apparently she can. Also, based on one of the videos that she posted she has a big screen TV that appears to be bigger than my 50". Which I guess it's good that she has a TV. It gives her something to do during the day since she doesn't have job to go to during the day.

That really ticks me off! I wanted a big screen TV for years and hubby kept saying no, he said there's nothing wrong with the 36 inch TV we have and there's more important things to do with our money and he was right. We only have a 52 inch TV now because a relative was upgrading and she gave it to us for free.

14. They own a cat. But that's irrelevant
   
As someone in the same poverty level I can say with complete assurance that the impact even something as little as $20 can make all the difference in the world.

I can imagine some here judging me already (I have experienced it here before). I have seen the questions and insinuations: If you are poor Chris, what are you doing online... what are you doing with a computer... you are probably poor because your terrible life choices: computer, internet, and you smoke oh my god (!), you own a dog, this just gets worse and worse...maybe if you drank less coffee... and why are you posting on the internet when you should be out getting a second or third job! Are there no prisons, no work houses?!

First, **** off. Yeah, I am poor. There is an interesting fact about money that most folks do not realize. It is this: the lighter your wallet the heavier your feelings of inadequacy and shame. See that homeless guy pushing his stolen shopping cart? I know what's in it. Guilt. The level of shame is inversely proportional to the wealth you have. If you are middle class you probably hesitate a moment before buying a new designer purse or blouse, wondering if that money should better go towards your kid's ballet lessons or whatever. But you can dismiss it, you can say with absolute confidence "I can afford this cat." The poor guy never gets that luxury.

There is NOTHING they can just afford. Nothing they can buy, including a bus ticket to a job interview, that does not carry with it some degree of shame. After all, they could start extra early and walk to that job. It's only five or ten miles, right? Start three hours early or something (I have done this, I suspect many have). And poor people, well, they don't need cats and coffee and computers and internet, and they damn sure should never drink a beer or soda or smoke a cigarette whether they roll it themselves or not. Aren't these things, these vices, just symptoms of the poor decision making and lack of self control which keeps them poor? If you are not thinking it (and be honest, you have occassionally thought just that about someone -- we all have), the poor guy is.

So why does that poor family own a cat? Because they wanted it and they just said ****-it. Poor choice? They would shrug knowing that in their life it doesn't much matter -- good choices or bad, nothing will change, and skipping out on a cat for their kids isn't gonna matter except in the eyes of some rich ****er sitting in judgement.

I see some women wearing rhinestone clothing.  They usually have curly gray hair, smoking a cigarette and playing video poker.

What I love, is the old women on oxygen at the slots, smoking a pack of cigarettes while they spin their SS money away.

I really did see that a lot in Reno.

Rhinestone used to be big around here.  I met Porter Wagoner a few years before he passed away.  Let me tell you, that man put rhinestones on the map, baby.

This was the 80's, and I had a silk shirt with stones on them, it even had stones in the shoulder area on top of the shoulder pads, I thought it was the coolest shirt ever. Well some friends and I were at a bar and this regular for some reason wanted to go out with me, I had no desire to go out with him, he was drunk 7 nights a week, so I nicely brushed him over, fast forward a bit and he goes off on a rant about something, turns out he's dissing my friends and I at the table, next thing I hear is "and the 1 with the Elvis Presley shirt on" he was talking about me and my studded shirt.

I know what you mean. Shoulder pads were great back in the day, or so I thought. When I look back at some of my pictures, it looks like I had football equipment on my shoulders :).
