I once went into a deli and bought a chicken salad sandwich, an apple, and a large water and gave it to a girl who couldn't have been more than 22. She was standing on a corner crying that she was hungry. When I gave it to her I said, "Here you go. I got you a chicken salad sandwich. Do you like chicken salad?" And she goes, "Well, I guess I have no choice." I felt cool.deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12271310136010979584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317198515686034704.post-70895519543230229712009-03-11T14:41:00.000-07:002009-03-11T14:41:00.000-07:00What a FAB idea!

And I got so stressed out that he wouldn't like it, he'd want ham and not turkey, should I get wheat bread because it's healthier than white bread. Anyway, I bought it and he seemed very grateful and asked me my name (which freaked me out for a minute, but really, what would he do with it?) and said he'd keep me in his prayers. And then I felt bad that I didn't get him a bottle of water too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317198515686034704.post-48712465579034720242009-03-11T11:23:00.000-07:002009-03-11T11:23:00.000-07:00That's a really nice thought.

And most of that has nothing to do with money. The mental problems are so severe, these people literally can't function to provide for themselves... the point, the help is still help regardless of how it is received.<BR/><BR/>That said, living in Venice, we have our fair share of "Hipster homeless." Those are the people who piss me off.
