Homeless in Dallas Texas

OP, in 45 min. to an hr. a guy will be delivering pizza, a 2 litre pop, and donuts in front of the station. He'll be driving a blue SUV. At least its something. 8(

oh wow. That is incredible. Thank you so much I'll have my eyes open out there in about 30 minutes. If the camera on this lappy works i'll even take a picture of me eating the food here in the station so all the skeptics that have posted on this thread can re-think its validity. Again, thank you

YW, OP. No need for a picture. Maybe someday you can do it for someone else. Hope it's good.

Yes, and no, I guess. When you've given enough times to find out later it was....not as claimed, you get a little jaded, unfortunately.

Knowing someone is hungry is my weak spot. I hate it and want to help. But don't want to be a sucker again.

There were a few things that bothered me, and maybe not rightfully so. Among them, I noticed this seemed to be the OP's first and only post here.

When someone asked if he had someone he could stay with for a while, he said no, but later mentioned the friend in NY.

His attitude also bothered me. Instead of being thrilled by his ticket, there were comments about the number of transfers, the length of time, etc. That sounds to me more a feeling of entitlement than appreciation.

After he found that someone promised him a ticket, he asked for someone to call about his ticket on one post, and on another, it sound like he was right across the street from the bus station.

One kind person offered to bring him food. If that person brought food, nothing was ever mentioned about it. Shortly afterward, he had a ticket. Did the person bring the food and he was gone? Evidently he didn't have any, since he "jokingly" asked for Western Union to be able to eat at one of his stops.

Things like that. There may be a reasonable explanation for all of it, which is why I hesitated to mention it. It's probably just me. It's wonderful to help people in need, but irks the heck out of me and makes it harder for those who genuinely need, when some are less than honest. That's probably the basis for my sarcasm.

All valid points. :)

wow

wow

I'm wowed by the nasty comments

And wowed by the good comments and the incredible generosity.

Just wowed in different ways.

Strange isn't it? Once you're used to the internet though, nothin' bothers you any more!

Btw, I think it'd be neat to see a photo of you eating a meal...if you feel like it. You could remove it after a few minutes, lol!

I'll PM you my email addy. I probably will not need food tomorrow night though.

awwww I can't PM on a trial upgrade. it's [email protected]

Thanks, right now I'm trying to figure out where to get some chow. Sadly it seems the city has cracked down on people feeding the homeless.

Whoever sent me the starbucks gift code, thank you very much!
