Getting Old Hasn't Slowed Me Down--Or Shut Me Up
When I grow up I want to be an old womanOVER 55 OMG
Maybe now that this economy has gotten our attention, we should start looking beyond ourselves.
I appreciate the fact that we want to help people in other countries, especially when there is always a commercial on TV asking us to do so.
I want us to help each other. We went too many years just taking care of ourselves, working too much, and expecting someone else to do things for us. I worked in customer service most of my life and I swear people don't know how to read a bill. They don't want to pay a bill they owe, they blame the company for their huge bills.
There are many hungry and poor people in the USA. Look in Appalachia. Look on the "bad side" of any town in Home Town, USA. It isn't just hungry children, it is also people that have slipped through the cracks, people that use to have and now don't, people that never have had anything and I mean they have nothing. We need to look in our own back yard and help the homeless, the hungry and the people that have a very hard time asking for help. Help ages between 30-65, these are the folks that have fallen through the cracks. Some of them lost their jobs, their homes, their families. They are living on the streets, having no idea the "street codes". These folks can't get unemployment, or that has run out, they have no medical care, no roof over their heads. Reach out when you can. I am not saying give huge donations. Hell, I can't afford to take care of me like I used to, but I try to buy a little something extra when I go get groceries. I see someone that is homeless and I give them some food or a dollar or two.
Just think of America first and then we can expand to other countries.
Just my thoughts.
I appreciate so much both of these comments. I want to say that what I was trying to get across, I guess, is to just help Americans first before we start taking care of the rest of the world. Carol is absolutely right about these huge organizations. We should check the how the organizers are getting paid and why in the world it would be so much. I frankly don't care about someones name and I don't think these organizations should pay ridiculously high amounts of money to anyone that works for them. Thank you Carol and Titania for the comments and the concern. I want us as a country to help each other, the homeless on the street, the people that have nothing and are afraid and alone. I think we can go to our local homeless shelters or our city government sponsored food banks etc. I think that is a great place to start.
Thank you two very much.

If our government would realize that we need to take care of 'us' first, this country would be in much better shape! We've always held out a helping hand, only to have it bitten when we could have used some help ourselves..
