Went and got stuff for Thanksgiving including a pumpkin pie. Leaving the lot and there is a brother by the road, he is wheel chaired. I stopped and gave him my pie. I did not need it. This guy behind me is pissed and honking because I stopped traffic. I got out and gave him 5$ and said give it to the dude and stop traffic for 30 seconds and see what it is like.

. That made me smile, Fitz. Your chain of actions there were quite unique and kind...admirable! I hope your brother enjoys the pie and that you too have something yummy to eat.

MycoolFitz

I went and got another pie

Well, that's better than throwing it in reverse and backing into him, LOL

Very cool. Very wise. Very compassionate. Very Fitz.

MycoolFitz

I guess I want to say not everyone by the side of the road is just a lazy bum. Some have done a lot and times are hard and mental and phyical stuff are an issue. I would rather be kind and enable than be hard and disable. I have been saved more than once. Back to Amazing Grace. Oh and I kind of slowed and looked the guy stopped and gave my Bro the 5$ the guy behind honked got the finger I laughed my ass off.

Mark75

That's awesome.

Happy Thanksgiving Fitz

JDG is one of my absolute favorites. Did not know anyone else knew him.

MycoolFitz

If I did it over I would of suggested to the guy to give 5$ to someone else to help out someome and Like Arlo Guthrie said it becomes a movement. Oh well not yet perfect.

That was nice of you but I would be honking too. Should of park and walk to the guy.

MycoolFitz

Well I think stopping the traffic for 30 seconds is not the end of the world. May make people think they can do it too. Don't make me back into you.

MycoolFitz

And he was a Vet who lost his legs he earned a 30 second stop in traffic

My family gets honked at all the time when we stop to give people on the road something. We have learned to let it roll off our shoulders. 30 seconds isn't going to hurt the person behind us but it is going to help the person we are stopping to give something.

Thank you for going so kind

MycoolFitz

[I] did not pull over and walk over because it was a legless vet worth 30 seconds [I] thought if I I did it others might too. How are our lives so busy and important that we can't do a 30 second stop to someone who gave everything? More determined than ever to get out and help even if it stops traffic for 30 seconds.

I think it is the same where you are and all over this country as it is here where I live.
Tomorrow, what we fix and serve at our Rescue Mission will be not only the homeless,
but those that are just barely 'squeaking by.' There will be whole families with their
children, sitting next to a homeless person. And many of our homeless here, are VETS!

Some are physically disabled, and some are mentally impaired from PTSD and the like,
and many of our 'just squeaking by' are also VETS! For many years now, as I serve
their meal, I tell them a 'personal thank you' from me. I do it when I see a current
or retired vet at a store, in the mall, at the park, whatever I always say 'thank you.'

I personally did not serve, but I was a Military Wife for many years and I know what
our current soldiers and Vets have gone through. The least I can do is say 'thank you.'

So (((((Fitz))))) you did GREAT!!!!!! Thank you for your service!

Love and hugs,

Well Fitz that's very generous. All those little actions are like money in the bank on the kingdom...

MycoolFitz

Well some think it was a traffic violation I think it was humanity. Vets, homeless addicts are just us in various faces.
