“After a time, you may find that having is not so pleasing a thing after all as wanting. It is not logical, but is often true.” — Spock

Not that I'm stinkin' wealthy, but compared to growing up below the standardized poverty level we have far more than I would have ever imagined.

It's not so much that it's less pleasing as it is recognizing you (I) have a responsibility to do the right thing with my abundance. That is not fun or easy for me. I'd rather just hog it all and blow it. But I know that's not right, so I need to take the time to figure out how and where to apply it. And no, it's not throwing $100s at the guys standing on corners with signs.

What is your story behind changing some of your threads to "Delete" in the title and removing content?

Get to know some of those standing on the street corners by trying to hire them. You may, as I did, find out that they get more money per hour on the corner than you are willing to pay.
They are not dumb, and are smarter than those who toss them sympathy money.

Reminds me of a time when some folks carried canned goods to donate to corner beggars' the ones that aske for $'s for food.
That stopped after a few had the cans tossed back in their faces.

Then came the stop light window washers that used that one dirty rag all day.
Been a while since I've seen that.

In my area there are a few breakfast diners where there is always a few 'casual workers' available.
Usually at a handy drive thru style breakfast place.

About 15 years ago a reporter in my home town looked into a known local bigger. Turned out he had a wife, 3 kids, new cars and a 4 bedroom house. Estimated income was over $40k a year. Last I heard of him, he had been contacted by the IRS. Never saw him again.

Guessing there's an autocorrect error somewhere there... ???
