"My mothet had surgery today at the heart center. I was down to the cafe and buying my mom dome bannas i was moving so slow this black doc. Paid for it for me. So shame my mom get on me about being slow about pulling my money out. I said thanks and ran. Im also shy. He said he knew my money need to go some where else. Yea lol the lite bill."
In the Bless Your Heart section of our newspaper, you often see people thanking someone for paying for their groceries or other items at the check out. I think some people have come to expect someone else to pay for them. I have seen people hold up the line for a long period of time, pretending to search for their money, in every nook and cranny of their purse, in their pockets and then go through the same motions a second time and at the moment you are ready to scream, they reach right in and pull out the money and even get change back. I truly think that a lot of them are just trying to get some good person to step up and pay for them.
I've seen people walk up to others and tell them they need a "Blessing" today. They just need a little more money to get something they need. " I know times are hard right now, but can you bless me just a little, I NEED some flip-flops. These don't match my outfit and people will talk about me. I could get some more fip-flops for about a dollar. Do you think you could Bless me today? " Do you think they are all reading the Bless Your Heart section of the paper?
There are so many people begging every where you turn these days. I know our government provides food stamps, government housing, aid for dependent children, child care, medicaide, etc. for people in lower income brackets. Funny that so many of the people who get these services, drive newer cars, have the latest cell phones, and gold jewelry flashing everywhere. What is wrong with this picture?

I have one of these people, renting my Carolina property. Hasn't worked in several years, had two kids when he moved in, had a third one since, with special needs AND SHE'S PREGNANT WITH THE FOURTH! Hadn't paid any rent since moving in, over 2 1/2 years ago. My sister just made a trip up there, with the intention of checking on the property and taking the steps necessary to get them out. Sympathy only goes so far, it doesn't pay the taxes and insurance. When she got there, you wouldn't believe how entitled he thought he was!!! Couldn't understand why we wanted him out. He had multiple flat screen TVs, a pool and trampoline for the kids, a motorcycle...
But, after receiving his 10 day notice, he managed to borrow the measly 400 bucks for rent, from his step dad. It's time again, for rent. Guess we'll see if I have to start the process over.
I saw a beggar the other day, suddenly he got up walked to the carpark and get into a big car and drive off.
grrrr....it's become a way of life!!
A small van would drop off beggars at various highway exit ramps. These people carried cardboard signs pleading for money. These carefully placed individuals could be seen taking a break in the shade talking on cell phones. Lunch time the small van would drive by and give them their McDonalds sack lunches. Evening time the small van would gather the workers, take up the funds collected and drive to the bank to deposit the day's earnings in their business account. Very lucrative endeavor.
Don't get me started!
It's a national past time to feel entitled now, and it irks me no end. It also worries me how this nation can survive with that attitude.
