A good friend sent me a package today...
It had some little things one needs out on the street in it. Two of these things were a scarf and some gloves.
As I was coming down the street I saw a old Veteran that I have met a few times at the VA when I was with my ex. He was setting in the sun to warm up from a chilly night. He is a first Iraqi war vet and had some major issues with PTSD.
He has no coat, just a thin sweatshirt. I had no coat to give, but I did have the gloves and the scarf. I talked him into going to the VA to see if they had any coats in there Vet Closet. Or at least get some heaver sweats.
This is just one of the many scenes one sees everyday. To many of those that fought for our country are now begging in the streets. Many of them suffer from mental distress.
When one sees all this fighting in the House and Senate, one wonders, "Do they really know what is going on in real America? Do they really understand what pain so many are going through?"
The Conservative Republican's have been proving they don't.

Cough cough. Which party is the first one to cut veterans programs? Who put the yellow tape around the WWII memorial? Which party spit in the faces of veterans and called them baby killers? Which group donates the most to charities?
The population of the Tucson metropolitan area is about 1 million people.
Amber keeps running into dregs of society.
Or she could just get naked with them in her fancy schmancy sleeping bag a fellow DUmmy was kind enough to share with her. If she was really a caring person and all...
I think Amber has standards. She only humps vets that have a VA check coming in.
Longs to be a widow of one......I'd be careful If I were a single vet.

Ther are some great people here on DU!
I was sent a little care package from one of my friends here. It had all the little stuff one needs and would not think about in it.
It was a great surprise! And yes I did give the scarf and gloves to one that needed it more than me since I still have mine. But that just made it even better since someone else got a little warmth from my friend too!
How did they know where to send it?"The Sally" has a fully-staffed Post Office on site. :rotf:

1. this is a very awesome place, been here 9 years
I'd like to think it's because we are progressives and Democrats.
I think that's the main reason, besides the fact that we, in general, rock.
She cross-posted this thread to the DUmmy lounge:
:whatever: :rotf:
I wonder if it was the same DUmmy that gave her that sleeping bag.

-Humane and eco-friendly way to ward off coyotes
-Made of all-natural, absorbent stone infused with predator scent
-In large areas, place stones every 12 to 16 feet apart
-Rechargeable scent (not included) will provide many months of use
You're too kind - I would have suggested sending her this -:rotf:
So the wolf didn't get her yet!!! It will...

At least she hasn't had her computer ripped off yet.
It would be interesting if CC, did a fund raiser for her.I wouldn't buy her a dead cat.
She could triple her nest egg.
Maybe buy a bar of soap.

I'd send her 75 cents to run herself through the car wash. I might even pony up an extra quarter for the undercarriage pre-wash.Car washes are at least five bucks these days.
I wouldn't buy her a dead cat.Nasty, mean man.

Car washes are at least five bucks these days.Send her 75 cents eight times. Sheesh, what a cheap bastage.
Too much.

I think it's time for Amber to eat humble pie, contact her sisters, apologize for her ingratitude, borrow money for the bus fare back home to Joplin, and get there before the snow flies.
I fully agree.

When one's down and out, better to be in familiar territory than alien terrain.
There are many, many aliens in the Tucson area. Most of them are illegal.
I do believe that there is a white slavery market in areas close to the Mexican border states.
I guess Amber is safe then, Tuck. Probably not a big market for ugly fat women in the sex trade. :tongue: :tongue:
The big 'uns are harder to smuggle across the border.
