On gaia I had/have a charity for the longest time. But since I am not there anymore, been thinking about selling the items and then taking the gold and giving it away to random people.
|
Hm, if you are sure you won't come back, I guess that would be the best thing to do. xD
|
Gaia has become to large and too commercial for my liking. They care not for their members, but the all mighty dollar. Once told a MOD that the site people only saw dollar bills with pigtails everytime a kid signed up for the site.
|
Lol, i think my current hope for items is via quest raffle. Or if i manage to get lucky elsewhere and save money for something. XD I know i have issues with saving money cause i don't tetris as often as i should.
I sound so whiney. xD Not trying to be. Nor am i asking for handouts. o: /makes things clear XD |
Andais: I agree. Which is why I semi-quit during 06, quit in 07.
Paprika: We know, dear. xD But hey. I like helping people either way. xD |
Haha, sorry. I look at things i say sometimes and think "Wow I would hate me if I wasn't me" xD or more of a think I am an annoying person. LOL *shrugs*
WHO SAYS I WILL TAKE HELP!! Haha, foiled your plans! |
...because I will keep sending you donations anyway? And if you return them, send them to a friend with the question to forward them to you?
And you're not annoying nor do I hate you. Don't you dare saying such a thing again. Silly 'Rika. |
Haha i can't help the way i think sometimes. But Thank you sil xD
I've always been a rather negative person about myself i just tend not to voice those feelings as it looks like fishing for compliments and i feel akward getting compliments as well. /is weird And, drat. D: You're too sneaky. XD |
You're welcome, Paprika.
I know you're not fishing for anything, whether gold, items or compliments. That does not mean you do not deserve them though. And sneaky I am. Clair Voyant sometimes doesn't want to accept my donations as well. Had to figure out some ways. xD |
Rika, you don't sign whiny, you sound like any of us talking about questing and venting about prices and the inability to save gold or remember/have the time to play tetris. Kind of miss vegging on the couch playing tetris with Rodd next to me. Can't wait for him to get back in September.
Started looking at hotels in Vegas for our trip in late September. Oh I am so excited about going for our 2 year annivarsary. |
Sil, Haha well i guess its good i don't need to explain myself every two seconds then XD
Aww clair is a sweetie, i wish i could help her more D: But I'm greedy and i want to try to get more of my quest done before i dish out all my gold to friends. Queenie, haha glad someone doesn't think i sound that way XD but i do suppose people need time to vent now and then @[email protected] Ouu vegas! Nice, i wanna visit sometime just for the sake of going there. |
Paprika: Clair's a sweetie indeed. But I help her and others do. So just finish your quests, 'kay? xD
I promise I'll help you both. |
How sweet of you Sil to be so generous with gold and items to help others out. Charity for the sake of caring is a rare things these days, online or in real life.
|
Andais: I know. I try to help people, because even a small gift can make someone's day.
And in real life I tend to help people as well, although in case of homeless asking for money, I usually buy something for them they say they need, like food or things like that. I don't feel like having my money used to buy alcohol. |
You are of the same mindset that my mom and I are. We don't like giving money to them, but food or clothing we gladly give. My mom does donate $25 a month to the food bank so that they can make the money go further and for a better cause then what she can do. We've done community out reach type stuff on holidays and weekends, feeding the homeless and what not. Very heart warming, but sad to see at the same time.
|
Indeed. I do try to help them, but I know many of them just buy alcohol or drugs for the money you might give them.
Not that I blame them, in such a position I can actually understand it quite well - but I don't want to help people in their self-destruction. I've seen what alcohol and drugs can do to people. |
Josh, my boyfriend, wants to save up money for an apartment building type help center for single homeless women with children to help get them off the street and on their feet.
I thought that was such a nice thing, apparently its like his life goal. o: Every now and then he'll buy a homeless guy some food...he also refuses to give them actual money. |
I only give them actual money if I know them personally and know they're not buying alcohol or drugs of it. (I know two of them. Quite religious, both, and they never buy alcohol or drugs of it.)
Sounds like a nice thing indeed. |
People with good hearts, always make me smile. The apartment thing is a wonderful idea, he should also try to incorporate some type of job training, or skill base training program so that they can find a decent job and get back on their feet.
|
Unbelievable.
I reached more than 200 posts today, I am now the 102nd poster of Menewsha and my charity managed 41 pages in barely six days. |
Haha nice Sil
Queenie, yeah i think he said he was going to make some sort of special liazon type thing with a local job temp agency thing o: |
Hm, Paprika, for a thread where 'no one comes to chat' we've surely reached quite a bit of posts today. xD
|
That's because there are a few people here today and we've managed to fall into this thread to chat. Not to mention, Rika is actually here right now, contributing to the conversation. People like talking when the owner of the thread is present.
|
Lol i haven't updated my title D: but woo for trapping people in my thread for chats!
Sorry for belated response o; did some dishes |
No worries I am at work, doing work and posting between bouts of print jobs. Whee! And I am not, trapped, just enjoying the conversation that is going on.
