Feeding the hungry, one Slushy at a time.

Why do DUmmies feel the need to puff and crow every time they come up with a handful of lint-filled spare change for someone?

Woman approached me in store and asked for a dollar to buy a drink
   
Edited on Sat Aug-21-10 03:28 PM by Liberal_in_LA
It's about 100 degrees in the San Fernando Valley today. A woman approached me in the store and asked for a dollar for a drink. She said she was dehydrated and had no money. I said, bring it to the cash register and I'd pay for it along with my other stuff. She returned with a drink and a snack and said she'd put them both back if I told her to. As I paid for her stuff, she told me she works in care giving and only has 2 days per week and wasn't making it. She isn't making it on 2 days and asked me if knew where she could pick up more days. All the time she was talking to me she had her hand to the side of her face in attitude of despair. She was also embarrassed to have asked me to buy her the drink and snack.

sigh.... :-( :-(

also...guy across the street has all his stuff out, selling it.

They do seem to spend an inordinate amount of time in convenience stores, providing succor for the indigent or doing verbal battle with freepers.

3. Happens to me too
   
Just a few days ago, a young woman approached my car at the drive-thru. She pointed out to me what she wanted on the menu, so I bought it for her and handed it to her on the way out. I'm loath to give out cash, but I'll always buy food for someone.

5. I am glad you paid for her drink and snack.....
   
I usually give to anyone who asks, I don't care if they are lying or not.

9. I feel lucky to have the resources to help... who knows how long that will last?
   
We could all be in the same boat

Does anyone know of a conservative who would run to a message board and post every time they bought a soda pop for someone at the 7-11?

She said she was dehydrated ....and only a store bought drink would rehydrate her.

Haven't these people ever been told about plain old spigot water?

[Ballygrl]

I know I sound like a broken record, but we didn't have such stories of despair when Bush was President.

All the time she was talking to me she had her hand to the side of her face in attitude of despair.

I am not sure if this one is buying into the story or sardonically showing it to be a fabrication...

If I am not mistaken, that image is that of a destitute mother and children due to the ravages and losses incurred because of the 1920's-1930's dust bowls of the great plains. Not because of recent economic strife.

Yep,and my guess is that the DUmmy who lives in their own world where they think they are the ONLY one to see or think something saw it and needed to work the image into the story.
