Leave people be!

I'll second that! Good morning, no afternoon Conrad!



Two fisted today!

"leave people be"; great way to put it, conrad. for every person who thinks that he's giving to his home town there's an equal number who thinks that what he's giving is a gift they don't want or need. if more people would just live and let live without trying to fix all that THEY think needs fixin' the world would be a much safer place.

"leave people be." damn, conrad. i'm stealin' that one. lol.

I should be helping with the rebuilding effort in Joplin, Missouri,(for those not familiar it was leveled by a tornado this summer) but I had to volunteer my car to a family member instead because their car is having engine trouble.

I would leave them be, but they seem to actually appreciate food water and re-built homes that are rising up out of the rubble.

I do a good deed for someone every day.

I built a website for my town. Lots of people like it. I need to do some updating on it.

Is that where The Simpsons live?

We were in the contest for the Simpsons Springfield, but we lost. So, nope.

The idea of community service has worked for me. I really like service work even though I might balk at times. It was hard to fit in a social gathering since I was so antisocial. Luckily I didn't have to do community service due of my fear of closed spaces. It was a gradual change but adapting to the back of police cars seemed easier than walking after a while. So I learned how to work the system. I would let the police officer put me in the back of his car. He would take me to the next off ramp and tell me he didn't want to see me back on his toll road because hitch hiking was against the law. He would turn around and go the other way. I would wait till he was gone and couldn't see me. then I would walk back up the ramp and walk for a while. Then the next state trouper would put me in the back of his police car and give me a ride to the next off ramp. So I would get a ride to the next off ramp. So I would wait till he left. Then the next state trouper put me in the back of his police car. He told me that 'they' were getting wise to me and the next time 'I' was seen on the toll road that 'they' were going to put me in jail. He took me to a restaurant. I got out of the back of the police car and went into the restaurant. I made friends with a trucker. He took me to the end of the toll road to another restaurant and had me another ride via the 'cb' radio. It wasn't like being chauffeured by the police but the passenger seat I found to be more comfortable. Eventually, I learned how to be comfortable in jails and prisons by leading meetings but I will never forget the feeling I got when the iron door would close.

Great picture of you!

Sweet Fanny Adams....

I'll just do what I do. I'm not arrogant enough to think I'll change the world.......

I don't know maybe I missed something here. But the way I see it..it's not a matter of changing someone or changing the world..it's about making a difference in someone's life in some small way, not on a grand scale.

Maybe you offer to babysit for free for a young couple or single parent you are close with once in awhile so they can have a date night.

or in your neighborhood...join the neighborhood assc. and see what can be done to help get property values up, help paint over some graffiti, or help clear debris from a local creek, or

at a local school...read out loud to a classroom so maybe a teacher can get some of the never ending tasks done...or offer to be a guest speaker and share some knowledge or some aspect of your life story....as it may relate to their current lesson

The possiblities are limited only by our imagination, so go ahead, drop the coin in the water and know there will be a ripple affect. Paying it forward. I'm just saying.
