For some reason today when I started sweating, it smelled of sauteed onions.

And that's it for "Sharing Time" with Orithil.

Peace and Happiness.

And now I have done something even more off my normal path. My niece, of all people (I don't keep in contact with my family, especially my sister and her's) messaged me saying she was starving and could I order her a pizza.

I did, because I've got a weak spot for hungry people, I still remember what that's like, but talk about random.

Me too, being broke and eating nothing but top ramen and beans and rice will make you a little bit more sympathetic towards the hungry. I've been there. Hungry people is one of my weaknesses.

I was homeless for a few months back in my youth, top ramen and beans would've rocked. I ate out of garbage cans.

Oddly enough, I've gotten far more picky about food. And I cook like a mofo, I'm rather proud of my skillz. That's right, skillz, with a zed. LOL!

But yeah, knowing what being hungry is like really does make you a bit more giving when it comes to such things. We just donated 3 boxes of non-perishables to the local homeless shelter, along with a couple boxes of personal care items. I do try to help, but the problem has gotten so damned bad, it's hard to think we're making a difference.

Well.. some people need to learn to fish so they can eat for a lifetime instead of going down to the food bank for a fish. Know what I mean? I went hungry due to bad decisions in my personal life which left me broke. A hard lesson in life but I'll tell you what, I'd rather eat than go have drinks at a bar. It was just a giant life lesson for me.

Well, for me it was one of the times I was ordered into a mental health facility, when I got out they just put me out. I had nowhere to go, didn't know anyone in the area, and due to my episodes had pretty much burned every bridge that could have helped me. I pulled myself back up, but for a while there it could've gone either way. The shelter here helps people with food and such, but they also do job hunting, filling out applications and how to interview classes. It's one of the good ones.

I can relate to that too. Burning bridges is probably the worst thing I've done in life. You don't realize how important it is until later in life to keep them bridges maintained.

Yeah, much truth there. I was lucky enough to salvage my relationship with my mom before she died, didn't get that chance with my brother, and I think my relationship with my grandparents on my mom's side is always going to be toast. I'm glad I'm away from my dad's side, though, bunch of racist bible-thumping assholes they are.
