    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Do i look naive and stupid?

I must have had gullible written all over my face today, if a stranger thinks i'm gonna give her a ride to Boston, or give her money for a cab. That's what happened today when i stopped at a Burger King for a quick bite to eat. After getting my food and stepping back in my car, i hear this tapping on my window. I roll down my window only a quarter inch, just to see what she wanted and she says her car broke down, can i give her a ride to Boston. I told her, i'm sorry, but i don't know who you are, so i can't give you a ride. She then asks me for money for a cab! At this point, my right hand is in my pocketbook, grasping my pepper spray, cause who knows who this woman is and what she might do. After i said no to the money, i rolled up my window, and noticed she had moved on to a car a few spaces over, probably asking the same of the woman there.
I'm a good person, and if you're my friend, of course i'll give you a ride, and if i have it money, but to ask a complete stranger those things is:notallthe:notallthe
 
Well, you never know now a days if they are for real or are trying to run a scam, which is sad really. But, it is always better to be safe then sorry. so you did the right thing.
 
It alllways creeps me out when someone comes up to my car asking for something. X.X Or gets you at the gas station "Have any change?!"
Even the bucket donation guys weird me out now, I had one come up to my car and start talling me I'm pretty and he wishes all girls were as pretty as me through my window that was crasked down mayyyybe 2inches, and then i was like "..........Thankssss?" and he just STOOD There...LONGEST RED LIGHT EVER.

Gotta be a burger king thing.

Back in April one of my friends flew into Memphis. On the way home we stopped by burger king to grab a bite. As we were walking back to the car this dude approached us and asked if we wanted to buy his shoes. I told him no... and to scram.... he persisted at which point I inconspicuoulsy (sp?) slipped my thumb under the bottom of my shirt. I was prepaired to pull my weapon if he wanted to get stooopid. He did leave however... and she (my friend)was glad I was armed. Hell... I was glad I was armed.

And that's why i don't actually LIVE in Boston, besides it costing an arm and a leg to even rent a place there:rofl::rofl:

Hey, i gotta hand it to ya, Your Rays are surprising me this year. Lets see if they can hold off my Sox::D:D
 
This must be a nationwide hobo scam or something. Here they do the exact same thing even giving the exact same line.
I've also got the "I'm/we're from out of town and out of gas" line to.
Hey stupid, if you have no money and not enough gas why leave town????????????

Dumb scamming hobos
 
"my car broke down..." is the new classic line, hear it all the time, especially when I lived in sincity. Here in the bay I see the same guy every weekend at the safeway telling people his car broke down and he just needs money to take the bus home, he's told me the same story so many times.

In Vegas by one of the offramps I always saw this man in a wheelchair with his signs and asking for handouts... kinda felt bad for him until one morning went to work early and saw him carrying the wheelchair up to the ramp.

People suck. It makes me not want to help any of them. About half the younger homeless people here in Berkeley and in S.F.'s signs say things like 'i need drugs' or 'just need money for beer'... at least they're honest. lol

yup, SOP in Boston.I had the same guy everyday giving me some BS story looking for hand-outs as I was walking into school.

I should have showed him my tuition bill and asked him for spare change.

Another guy holding a cup looking for *help in the fight against aids*...I dropped a trojan in his cup.
