today i was in town and decided i wanted some pizza so i pulled into pizza hut. as i entered i saw a man on the curb holding a sign saying "will work for work", normally i just ignore these because they are usually druggies or drunks looking for their next fix but as i gazed into his eyes while passing i saw a sadness unlike anything I'd ever seen. as i ate i couldn't get that look out of my head so as i left i drove up close to him and asked if he was truly hungry or just wanted money for a drink. he replied, " maam i am starved". i invited him into my car, did a U-turn and invited him to get the pizza of his choice. he chose the cheapest pizza, a small, cheese pizza but i chose a large, 3 meat pizza. as we talked i learned he was a viet nam vet and had learned to be a television repairman but as tv got cheapr,finall lost his shop and ended up on the road. still a few years away from social security he was now homeless. seeing how hungry he was i ordered him another one, i was floored when he could save this one for his wife. i was honered when he said god bless


God bless you. As a fellow vet and advocate towards making homeless veterans a thing of the past, I applaud your kindness and charity. I pray it will be returned to you three fold.

Sorry, I did not do anything nice unless you include watching the premiere of the new season of Game of Thrones. I just wanted to say something about what Ginger did.


you and your warriors are my heroes but think watching " game of thrones" is iffy , at best

Oh finally someone brought this one over.


if me posting this thread is your rage,i am sorry. just ignore it.
ok i started this thread because of what happened to me today. i own a little cabin in the mountains and just over 25 acres of land, most of it woods and a long driveway. a few years ago i had some tree cuts to widen my driveway. today i got a letter from the county tax reps that the removal of those tress increased the value of my land and i owed a penalty for the years i hadn't listed them being removed . just how does a adding an extra ten foot wide driveway increase the price of land by two hundred a year dang
