    Been on both sides and slept under a bridge or two and a few roofs. Frankly the cause was my head up my own arse, young, dumb and using. We've really become so cynical with homeless and I won't lie..you find yourself judging them..gauging or wondering if they are really homeless. As fucked up as that sounds. I literally see the same five people at exact same times on different corners just blocks from my house. They alternate and have this Bartertown thing going on with chairs and trash bags the leave. It does in fact almost become an actual job. Routine. Talk about awkward when you yourself are going over exact same tracks and while handing off a coffee and donut or maybe a couple of bucks yesterday...you pull up with nothing one morning at light as its all you could do to wake up and pull enough dimes for the toll bridge. I feel for the kids and the mentally affected who need actual help but the older I get its harder to believe there are not ways you can legally make a money..a skill, trade, or looking past our comfort zones or confinements. There really is no classification or 'normalcy' in homelessness so each to me is individual. If you uproot a "temp work and pay cash" sign staked on my street corner and paint "Homeless-need cash and help now-God bless" in huge letters on the other side and get mad when people hand you Cool ranch tacos and a box of protein bars..then fuck off.

    She would have probably thought you were a serial killer if you asked her back to your gaff.

    I've given plenty of change and millions of fags (when i smoked) over the years. At night in the heart of London you can't walk past a doorway without someone kipping in it. Tragic.

    Batman, you did the right thing not inviting her in because it puts you in a vulnerable position in so many ways.

    Birmingham has many people rough sleeping but a lot of them do have places they stay at and a lot come out at christmas begging.

    There are plenty of emergency accommodation they can go to and safe houses for domestic violence incidents.

    The properties are shared accommodation and single rooms with some dodgy landlords.

    The real issue is mine on to permanent accommodation, there is a big shortage.

    There are a few who prefer to stay homeless and can not live under a roof.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    If I could be bothered to volunteer in a soup kitchen for the homeless, wouldn't it be funny to hustle them out of the doors when it's near closing time saying "Come on, drink up, some of us have homes to go to"

    Paying it forward so to speak aka generously unloading . I do that with gift cards around Christmas. Clinic usually get tons of random fast food, coffee and wal mart gift cards but low 5-10 dollar amounts from clients, each other and companies. Not to mention a shit load of homemade 'goodies' and store bought trays, popcorn tins etc etc. I like my cash so we just hand out food and a tenner on some card to local homeless. The fuck am I going to do with 50 boxes of stale cookies and chocolates come January .

    There was a guy in a town I lived in whom every Christmas he would pick a couple spots in town and hand out 100 dollar bills. Don't know how many he gave out a day but we are not talking about just 3 or 4. It would be many over several days in different spots of town. I never saw him but it made the paper every year. Must have been a decade he did this for. The guy died last year, he made the paper but up until then he stayed out of the news himself and let those he gave to be interviewed. I wonder how many towns have guys like that
