Yes- you're a braver person than I! I used to pass lots of homeless people in NYC when I worked there. One day I decided to save 1/2 of my sandwich from lunch and give it to a homeless person on the way home. I ran into one on the steps to the Subway and she asked for money because she was hungry. I told her I didn't have money but I had a sandwich and handed it to her. She asked me what kind it was. I told her it was ham and brie and then I thought, "What are you, a vegan homeless lady or something? SHEESH!"

I always made a point of giving any money I found on the sidewalk to homeless people since I figured they needed it more than I did.

I simply choose not to look at the newspapers here. When I lived in the US I had to stop watching those forensic shows because I became convinced that we would all be murdered, it was only a matter of time and staying in the house didn't matter, they would come in after you. I'm afraid that if I read the papers here I would start to feel the same sense of hopelessness and desperation.

And that image is seriously horrible. How awful for his family to have to see his body so disrespected.

Happy Father's Day! I'm afraid our dog didn't present my hubby with anything... hmmm... maybe he doesn't love him like your turtle loves you. :)
