toward christmas gifts for poor kids. i can spare - though, not comfortably - $10. Have home repairs AND my truck needs tires - and they'll be good tires, not cheapie ones (that only end up costing more in the long run). Yeah, i get it, poor people don't have much over $50, if that, in savings - but more than a few sport several $1,000 in tats upon always in-yer-face arms and legs...hhmmm, go figure.
Before December 25, i can about guarantee, i will have filled 1/2 a burn-barrell's worth of ccchhhaarity-appeal mailings. Yep! Every frigging last one of 'em goes directly into the trash - un.opened! i contribute to the collection plate, and for now, that's it, fort pitt, with donations.
Just last night, while listening to a Bible sermon, the preacher was talking about how people can help widows. In my area is such a ministry. Well (please, Dear Jesus, help me) i ain't asking for anyone's help - if i can't do it myself or PAY someone properly, well then, it ain't getting done. Yeah, that's pride, loud and clear - can't help it, here and there, on a few things, Ayn Rand was so right on.
