What is this thread all about?
Just a place for general discussion. A place to unload whats on your mind and talk about anything - personal, health, help needed, achievements, daily highs and daily lows, theories, predictions and what have you.
Does not need to be Q related.
After everything we now know, my family helps people locally directly. If a church is doing something here that we can see and verify that helps people in our immediate area, then we might get involved. We're much happier finding hardworking folks and giving directly to them, or getting them the help they need.
A lot of honest people do not want anything from the government, were raised to believe it's embarrassing to take any welfare. I used to feel the same way. Now I tell them that it's better that our collective money goes to help working people than thieves and leeches.
That’s wonderful. I didn’t share an article I read because they were most definitely liberal & sharing their views on Christianity or any values conservative person might believe in. I did learn some things about the shoe box org. (Not sure how to verify) Either in the church or other countries where shoe boxes are delivered adults take the nice items for themselves and sell them. Most items sent aren’t useful to the children. Toys for a poor child from a family in Africa and those kids don’t play video games etc. They live a different life than we do. Items like gloves and mittens might end up in a climate like Africa.
This👌Helping neighbors, tipping extra, etc
I love the idea of tipping extra. Most waiters work at least two jobs. We ate at a local Italian restaurant last weekend and the waitress said she works mornings at a country breakfast restaurant. Excellent service deserves a great tip. Tip in cash so it’s not tracked. In NC they don’t make much hourly, less than minimum wage. I’m not sure how much.
