    If I load up my little buggy with an ice chest and water bottles, what would be the best way to get people water?

    just go right up to them and ask them if they have had enough water today? Wear what you normally would wear.

    don’t ask them a normal question that gives them an easy yes or no, they are going to be paranoid of you most of the time (no matter what!). If you want to build trust, don’t mention anything religious. so don’t wear a church thing, unless you want to represent all the bad religion someone might have experienced.

    so just approach them with all honesty and tell them you want to make sure they have some water and that you hope you can do just a little something to make their day easier

    I live in a town with lots of homeless. I also lived in downtown Seattle right near lots of homeless. I always have a rule that if I see someone that needs the basic life requirements, I will ask them and provide what they need. But I will never give them money. I have purchased shoes, coats, and lots of meals.

    One day I was speaking with a guy and another one guy that I have helped in the past came and told this guy, maybe his friend?, “don’t mess with him, he feeds people”

    and it was something I will never forget

    other regulars don’t ask you for change when you get that kind of reputation

















  • Over five years, 16 groups conducted observations at 45 globally distributed stations, about 3000-4000 km apart from each other.[4][7][12] 12 mobile tracking stations were used, which observed during favorable weather conditions during a few minutes of twilight each evening.[7][why?][clarification needed] BC4 cameras were used to photograph the satellite.[12] Observations were taken when the satellite was visible simultaneously to multiple stations at the same time.[12] This resulted in the fixing of the precise locations of 38 different points around the world.[4] This could be used to help determine the precise locations of the continents relative to each other, and to help determine the precise shape and size of the earth.

    that is amazing! so cool



  • step one, if I get rid of this will someone else want it? Do I still want it.

    get a good box, like an apple box or a fruit box

    keep it someplace and put the first thing you LIKE but yeah maybe its just clutter, into it

    treat all the things as something that you want, something you like but could live without, trash

    once that box fills up, give it to a non-profit charity for donation
