I hope you didn't dislocate your shoulder by patting yourself on the back.
I can't count how many times I've given someone asking for money a couple of bucks, yet I don't run to cc and post about it.
Besides that, some people use it as an occupation! I'm not sayin' this gal is doin' that, but boy, if want to tug at the heart strings of decent and civilized folk, she sure picked the right topic!
We had a guy that used to stand right at the exit of the interstate at the first stoplight. Alocal news station was doin' a story on the homeless. They followed this guy and found out, he was changin' clothes right outside his
Mercedes then goin out and soliciting for money.
After a hard day of standin' at this off-ramp. he would walk to his car, (which was strategically parked well away from the action, I might add), and he would change back into clean Levis, and a clean T-shirt.
The news crew then followed him home to a $200,000 fancy abode. $200,000 grand at the time was top 'o the line in Spokane at the time!
Needless to say, they blew his scam all to hell, but they couldn't charge the leach with a damn thing! They figured he was makin' about $3,000/mo! I heard he did end up havin' a pretty tough time with the IRS!
