May 2015

I like to think that I care, going to volunteer work, like every week, this afternoon. Recently signed up to work at the homeless shelter. Spending time this weekend at Special Olympics and also at our fundraiser for a couple of days. I tend to be stingier with my money.

I'm not sure the world needs more part time jobs, that usually means you can't make a living off of them and they give no benefits.

Community is tough. I am not sure how it is created or sustained.

Admittedly through the day I basically check FB and DU and places like that mostly for somebody to talk to.

Good business. But you have to have people who are rich enough to pay for it. While I was taking jwirr May 2015 #11

low pay working for someone is the reason I decided I could do it myself notadmblnd May 2015 #12

At least you are paying your own help decently. The county did not have a lot of money designated jwirr May 2015 #16
