[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 619378, member: 17461"] difficult child daughter was homeless on the streets through the worst of a brutally cold Minnesota winter and into July in 2013. She [U]chose[/U] not to come home. Among the many skills she learned during that time was panhandling. (That is what the street people call it. The money would be for booze. The street people would gather at a certain park once they had something to drink, and they would share, because that way, others would share with them when they had none. Besides, who could drink a quart?) difficult child daughter said it was almost like a job. The panhandling part, I mean. She has moved on from there, in a way. But just the other day, she told me she was panhandling. She asked a woman for a quarter. The woman was going to give it to her. The man she was with reached over, covered the woman's hand, and said, "Don't encourage beggars, dear." difficult child daughter was so offended to have been considered a beggar. She had never seen her actions in that light, before. Cedar [/QUOTE]
