Do you want to take care of someone?
[QUOTE=Amp Guide;1536628]Today at the freeway on ramp. There was a sign flyer. Sitting beside the road was his girlfriend. I got to she was quite hot. It was so tempting to ask her if she wanted a place to go and stay. That guy cannot offer her shit and she should be able to get at least taken care of. Anyone tried this before. Just makes me wonder what the Hell she is doing with him. Anyway. I wonder is she is for rent either. Who knows. Interesting thought. Anyone else have any good stories.[/QUOTE]Occasionally I find a SW I particularly like, however taking them home and taking "care " of them, nope. How healthy is that? Look at the whole picture. We spend a lot time and money chasing it. They spend what we pay rarely on rent or food. On our part, the game may not be a total addiction, just an occasional pastime, an itch that needs to be scratched. Sometimes not. In my youth I would say I had no self control. I try to be realistic about the philosophy / morality of this pastime. I've met women of all stripes out there. An accountant, a nurse, professionals, people who by the roll of dice happen to be addicts. Way back I used to run into women who just liked the thrill of doing this, sex addicts. Nowadays, it's mostly women who just happen to be drug addicts, some might be trashy or ignorant without being addicts, and some who just happen to be addicts. None who do this for fun. Not going to stop doing this, just sayin, taking someone in as a social worker project is not healthy.

I wouldn't make a move though unless she had a stiff piece of cardboard and the ink was freshly put on the sign. I once saw a very attractive woman on the east side with a sign that said, "Husband just left – a kid at home – no job – help!" I came 'this close' to inviting her to live with me. On the other hand, professional sign holders will have beat up / creased, thrashed old ass signs that appear months or even years old. I won't waste my time with these con artists.

This was the scene at NE Hassalo and 82 at about 7:50 this evening. I have very few rules; but one of my pet peeves is when a potential passenger is attempting to hail a cab with a shitload of open food in their arms. Can you imagine the mess all this chow would make in your vehicle?
This may look bad, but I've seen much worse. A few weeks ago I saw a working girl walking near Fremont with a carry-on rolling Samsonite suitcase, backpack, duffel bag, and a gallon jug of chocolate milk. Unfortunately I did not have my camera; otherwise I would have taken a photo. I believe she goes by the name of Kelly if I am not mistaken.
