I'd love to have this question answered. When I'm at a stoplight I usually see a homeless man in the median and I'll throw him a few bucks. I like to chat them up a bit too. But when I don't have any money on me I don't really know what to do. I don't want to seem like a dick and ignore them, but I don't want to start a small conversation and not have anything to offer when they're obviously in need.

Woah I went to this exact one 13 years ago. I had a blast out there. Made some good friends and I thought the staff were really dope people just trying to better their lives. I didn't get much help from the therapists but that was just because I couldn't take a wide-eyed Mormon on SSRIs seriously. I made great friendships, some of them I still talk to here and there. I learned how to be independent through setting up my campsite every day and cooking my own meals which actually led me into hospitality when I got home. I've heard of these programs being abusive but I never once thought that way about this one. Then again before going out there I was skipping class, sharing spliffs with crackheads, and trying to avoid stepping on needles. So being out in the woods was a blessing to me. Do they still have you make your backpack out of juniper branches?

Would you say that your hot wings act as a truth serum to loosen up your guests somewhat like alcohol? Or am I too high right meow?
