Excellent!!!
This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.

Just confirmed that the Large Flat Rate box was also an MD-er. So, toss at least another 30 pairs on that total!

We're doing a red-white-and-blue Labor Day themed BBQ for our less fortunate friends Monday. Will hopefully get a few pictures to share. :cool:

I dislike odd numbers. Let me go bump that other thread back up.

Ya, Las Vegas with it's year round warmer weather has become a bit of a homeless mecca.
I was intentionally homeless in Reno for about 6 months once to learn and understand the human experience from that perspective.
Of course, I was a clean homeless person. Had a membership at a gym in which I showered and worked out almost every day, and I would work day labor about once a week to get money for the membership and to wash clothes, but I still slept on the streets and ate most of my food about twice a day at the homeless kitchens, mainly two. Had a bike and all my clothes and hygiene in my big green military bag that I put on my back.

Went back to Reno about 4 years ago, and it was dead. No real tourism anymore, some Casino's closed, etc.
And the streets smelled like piss. Liberals taking over that city really made it go to hell.


So you could,(were able to) work; but chose not to. You worked enough to maintain your gym membership, but ate at the homeless kitchens because you wanted to? You mean that for 6 out of 7 days a week you ate food that was meant for people who were unable to work?

Yup, you're definitely not a liberal. Free loader, extremely confused individual, completely messed up value system, but definitely not a liberal.
And in the end, the love you take, is equal to the love...you make. PMcC

Is there much use for gloves or beanies in winter?

Good job, Doc. Making a positive impact on some people's lives. :)
