[QUOTE="Abbey, post: 171281, member: 179"] What a nice experience! I never give money. I've bought lunches for a few, but they refuse and just want cash. Nope. The one fun time was husband and I were at the 'party pit' at Harrahs. It's an outdoor area where there is a live band, food, etc. This poor guy was resting in the party pit propped up against a pole on the concrete. He was VERY ragged looking. I first got him up to dance with me. (I love to dance.) He danced a few songs then I asked him if he'd like some lunch. YES!! So, husband and I sat down at a table with a guy who hasn't bathed in eons and had a very nice lunch. People were looking at us like we were nuts. Actually, we are, but that's ok. At the end of lunch, I gave him $20 and told him to use it wisely. He promised he would. It's hard to sift through those who really need food, and those who need money for drugs/booze. I guess you just have to go with you gut feeling. Abbey [/QUOTE]
