I work in an office that happens to be located in a mall. I was sitting outside the office on my lunch break and I got panhandled. That's never happened before.

... thin metal legs that in that particular lighting are invisible....I was reading that article about a week ago when that bunch of people got invited to Maine to be shown around by a lady name Robin some of the different landmarks around that inspired some of King's stories. In the interview King said he's got hearing problems because of playing the guitar. What I couldn't understand there's a picture of King standing with his dog, and there's a sign saying something like 'Vote 1 for Pennywise' but the sign looks like it's floating in the air as I can't seem to see any stake holding it up. I want to know if that's a photoshop addition.
if you look at the leaf right below the sign, you can see the metal legs against the color of the leaf.I was reading that article about a week ago when that bunch of people got invited to Maine to be shown around by a lady name Robin some of the different landmarks around that inspired some of King's stories.

It's okay, they're 'friendlies'. (it's to do with collecting information that helps to include this site in online searches)I checked the list of who was online and it said there were 20 robots. What the heck? Creepy.
So they are friendly robots, unlike Andy.It's okay, they're 'friendlies'. (it's to do with collecting information that helps to include this site in online searches)

I remember one instance the other year. I was waiting for the doors to open for a hockey game and went down the street to a convenience store to get a coffee. A panhandler approached me looking for money. I asked him what he would do with it. He said he has a job but it was not enough to pay for beer or sometimes food, and he would use it to buy a beer. I said he looked like he could use food more than a beer. He agreed, but said he wouldn’t lie and would use it to buy a beer. So I went into the convenience store and got him a sandwich. I told him if he eats the sandwich I’ll give him $2 for his beer. He ate the sandwich while I was there and I gave him the $2.I have kind of a funny story about being approached for money.
I pulled into a restaurant parking lot and got out of my car and started walking towards the entrance. A man was standing by a pay phone close to the entrance (yes, this was a few years ago when there were these strange devices called pay phones) and he walked up to me and said, "brother, can you spare a dime?" I thought he needed change for the phone and I reached into my pocket and pulled out a dime and gave it to him. He looked at it and said, "I guess that's a start." I walked into the restaurant and started thinking that what he said to me was strange and then I realized he wasn't really asking for a dime.
This reminds me of a commercial showing kindness to those asking for money.Panhandling --
i would love to stand on a street corner with a sign:
Need a buck?
And see how many people in cars would roll their windows down to RECEIVE money.
It would be a great college paper experiment type thing.
Stand out there one day asking for money. The next day, stand out there and give away money.
Keep track of the money,
keep track of ages of people most likely to give or GET money.
Genders most likely to give or get?
Log in nasty comments thrown at you for asking for money.
Log in nice comments for giving away money.
What other things could I keep track of?

Video needs a tissue box warning. Kindness is what the world needs more of right now.This reminds me of a commercial showing kindness to those asking for money.
