Money moral dilemma
Whilst browsing the net during my 'very' busy day in the office I found the following paragraph: -
People who replied to this seemed to struggle with what the right thing to do would be.
I really didn't think that this was a hard one to solve, Pete (who I'm sure is a genuinely nice chap) is on the streets & seemingly has a taste for the odd bevvy, I really don't think that someone in this situation (whether or not they are there through any fault of their own) would benefit from my cash, food & water etc I would have no problem parting with, it may sound a little harsh but these people need help to get off the streets not help to survive on them, I think if you are genuinely concerned and would like to help then your money is better off going to a charity that deals with helping the homeless, some charities will even send someone out to help if you let them know about a person you believe is in need.
...but hey that is just in my opinion.

For a few months you've been helping out Pete, a friendly homeless man who you walk past on the way to work. He's always friendly and polite. Then one day you pass him and spot that he's got a couple of six packs of strong lager hidden away and is downing one as you speak. Should he be free to do as he pleases with your money, or are you simply hurting him by pushing a possible habit? Would you turn down his appeal next time?

Just enough time left to think up a design to carve into our Pumpkin :o)
Saw these original ideas on the net & they tickled me so thought I'd share them with you :oD

...The sound of silence
My apologies for being so quiet recently...there hasn't been a great deal to report if I'm to be completely honest with you.
Mark & I are finally recovering from various bugs we've been collecting over the past few weeks, think our ammune systems have taken a hammering...feeling human again now though :o)
Well (trying to think whats been going on)we've been to the cinema, more than once since my last post I suspect, Scotty (the lodger) went away to work & returned a few days later as his ship is in dry dock...so we've had a bit of a mad house again! :op
Work has become incredibly busy all of a sudden so no more time for painting nails & updating this like I used to *sigh* suppose it's a good thing really, the days are flying by. Heading up to our new premises in Stockton at the end of the month too so it's all going on this month :o)
Mark & I have been shopping for 'housy' things so hopefully I'll start decorating soon, we actually have wardrobes with doors & handles up in our room now...check that out :op Marks currently on building our new bedside tables which we're ordering a top for so I can use it as a dressing table...never had a proper one before so I'm actually quite excited!
Not allot going on tonight (well that I know of) chippy Dinner & a DVD I'd imagine...heaven! :o) Tomorrow we're off to Joon & Omar's for a meal & a drink (or few) which I'm looking forward too, was meant to be last week but with Mark & I being under the weather & his work pattern we thought it best to put it back a week.
That's about it for the weekend...well apart from my Mums monthly visit which will be nice. Monday I've booked a half day off as I've volunteered my services & follicles to be a hair model at a L'Oreal demonstration...just hope they don't do anything 'funky' with it, I've passed my college girl mad hair stage :op actually should be popping out for a cuppa with an old friend Mike from college come to mention it after work though :o)
Tuesday Marks off to Bristol with work so I'm off out for a meal with Lou, figured we haven't had a nice girly night for a while & shes been a little down lately so a nice meal & bottle of wine should be just what the doctor ordered :o)
Wednesday is just work as normal but taken Thur, Fri off (I seldom work full weeks nowadays)Hoping I'll be able to get my theory test booked for one of those days to get that out of the way.
Thursday night we're off to Marks Mums for dinner, his sister & her boyfriend are coming too, every ones lovely so it should be good fun :o) Friday we're having our friends Sean & Lisa over, Sean's going to help Mark shuffle the kitchen units around so we can actually put the fridge in there [we were going to do it a little while back but Sean was diagnosed with cancer, he had the tumour removed last month & has been told that it doesn't appear to have spread)Sean definitely apologised?? last week to us for 'forgetting' about our kitchen! Silly man, I think I'd forget about more than a kitchen if I'd been given that news, luckily Sean's optimism & great sense of humour has carried him through & he's back to the cheeky chap we all know & love :o)] Lisa & I will no doubt have a good natter while the boys are busy playing nice, then I think we'll all grab dinner :o)...quite a busy week to come now I think of it!
