Lizbud,

"I'll work for food" signs
What a novel idea!!!!

Since I've been looking for full time work for over 6 months, maybe THAT'S what I should do!!!!

I do not give money to panhandlers. I do offer to buy them a meal. Onetime I was in NYC and a panhandler asked me for money. I offered him my fruit yogurt and he got REAAAAALLYY pissed at me. He screamed at me, "I need MONEY, not your damned yogurt!!" Oh well, his loss.
