I have done that Aqua. I worked at Salvation Army in Enid, OK and Longview, Texas. Just repaying favor since I lived in missions and the salvation army all across the country when I was hitch hiking. The feeling you getting from helping others feels good. People are so thankful. Especially the homeless.

Heya Sam i am cajunfroggy Laurie nice to meet u dont think we have meet yet glad to hear u had fun with ur daughter

Hiya, Sam :)
Phyllis in SC here.
Glad you had a great time with your daughter!
Not famous yet, but have had a hankering to get into show-biz. One day >sigh<.
Aqua...holidays, food, ahh, what a great time of year! The food, friends & family help the end of the year fell warmer :)
Slider...My mom & I helped down at the Community Center this last weekend, sorting clothing that was dropped off for the needy and for the LA folks who flew into Columbia SC that need things. It is challenging but heart-warming to help others :) Mom is always finding something for us to help with. We use to give a variety of things to a men's shelter, because alot of people are wrapped up in the women/children's shelters and the men see very little help. Unfortunately it closed down and those poor guys went back out on the streets again. I prayed for them.

Honestly, it is SO nice to meet all of you newcomers...It is really REALLY refreshing to see the humanity that has come in here lately...we went through a bit of a slump awhile ago I would say...wouldn't you agree, fellow scrap-heap alumni?? *grin*
I once helped out in a travelling van that provides hot meals to the homeless...it was great...BUT...I brought down HUNDREDS Of dollars worth of little items from the dollar store (gum, markers, barrettes, nylons, toothbrushes, etc etc) when I went to the DR....took an all day tour in this open-topped jeep through the VERY poverty-stricken countryside (where the kids have to walk a minimum of 8KILOMETRES to go to any sort of one-roomed school)...I asked the tour guide (named Mimi...he SO rocked)..to stop where there would be needy children..and while the other ten people SAT on the JEEP...my daughter and I got off...went and met all these kids at a dozen different locations...and gave each of them a few little gifts...they were SO happy (and sadly DESPARATE) to get these things...they were literally pounding on each other to get in line to meet us.
Our tour guide helped us get some sort of order (and therefore, less violence)..and we made sure that EVERYONE got a few little things for themselves..WHAT a LESSON to my daughter that was...She always hears me telling her how she should appreciate the things that she has, because others have nothing...but to actually SEE that I wasn't kidding...it changed her...forever...and for the better..
If any of you ever travel to a third world country...I highly reccommend doing something of the sort..It is gratifying beyond words, and besides that...it humbles us..where we may have gotten a little out of our own heads!
K..went into a little more detail than expected there...but YOU GUYS BROUGHT IT UP!!!
hehe..
Loonier than ever,
Sam

I see so many new names/faces! It seems as though the turnaround rate has increased drastically! In any case, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Sam, and I have been a member here for quite some time now. I recently returned from a trip to the Dominican Republic with my daughter...and we had a BLAST! What else? Hmm...well, I am a nurse, and I live in Canada...Say hi, why don't you? What are you famous for?
Here for awhile...
Sam
