You want to hear something pathetic?
Well, I went to McD's for lunch today, and among the usual suspect of transient people sitting at the corner waiting to pounce McD customers for spare change, I saw this very transient man holding what I thought was a baby.
The first thought in my mind was: "Oh that poor baby!" Right? My second thought was: "Someone contact CPS!"
Well, upon entering the McD's I saw this guy come in with the "baby".. It was a doll for crying out loud! He was holding it very close to his body with a dirty blanket, and all you can see is a bald head underneath this guys out of control straggly beard. I know it was a doll, because I saw the little toy clenched baby hand creep out stiffly under the blanket.
Don't get me wrong.. I DO give out spare change from time to time only if they promise to buy food---but no way I was going to this guy.
Have you finished your Christmas shopping? Not me... But--I have yet to enter a mall to do it. I drop off my daughter there for work, and I've seen the parking lot frenzy. It's really vicious out there. I intend to do most of my shopping online---Etoys/KbToys, Amazon...etc..or at stores that are detached from malls. I need to stop at the Disney Store though--it's one of my favorites. Oh yeah, and of course-Avon.. Duh. I cannot believe it's already December! A lot of places won't deliver on time past next week for Christmas! Man I have a lot to do!!! May be that is why I feel sooo frazzled and letting transient men holding dolls get to me. Anyway..if you want FREE SHIPPING with Avon---

Poor man. I bet he has no family!

pretty sad that hes desperate enough to hold a doll, even sadder is he would more than likely use it(money) to buy a bottle.
i could care less about Christmas....sigh..it all seems overwhelming at the moment. That man obviously has some huge issues, huh?
Love,lisa
That is so sneaky, of course he knows a baby will pray on females and get them to give out more money. Mind you, better he use a doll than a real baby. Over here we had a problem with mothers drugging their babies and begging with them all day. Its a long story & happened a few years ago.
I'm doing most of my shopping online too, its just too crazy out there. Besides, I need to be calm and collected when I shop which I can be shopping online with a glass of wine.
