Reply #9: thank you all [View All]

for your kind words. Not so sure I am ready to let me off the hook. I will continue to do what I can. but this site is good for me, it makes me think.
It did get me to finally donate to this site, I thought at least I can do that. so I got a gold star today too.

what got me thinking was reading about the member here who picked up the older female hitchiker and discussion about the "deserving" poor. It made me think of all the little ways being poor and especially poor and sick robs you of your dignity, day by day, drip by drip. well that is overstating in my case, I am disappointed in me today,but I will get over it. Seems I have a deep seated survival instinct and a mostly good out look. But sometimes those drips are felt, I can't imagine what that woman has suffered.
