what do you think should be the maximum age gap between a couple?

honestly.. in your opinion.. is 13 years too much?..

i was approached by a homeless man as i was about to step out of my car.

'miss, miss.. please.. i'm so hungry. i came up here from florida and all i want is something to eat'.. he was on the verge of tears..

i rummaged through my purse for any loose change or bills.. nada.

'please, please' he had such desperation in his voice.. yet his breath reeked of alcohol.

'i don't have any cash, i'm sorry. listen, can you wait right here for a second? i'll go to the mcdonald's over there and buy you some food..' my heart ached for him..

he quickly wiped his eyes and looked up at me as though he had seen a ghost.. 'really?? i will wait right here!'

i walked across the street to mcdonald's and ordered him a number one.. super sized.. with a coke. i skedaddled out of there.. and made my way to the spot where i told him to wait. he was nowhere to be seen..

i searched the area up and down. i was being toasted by the scorching sun..

as i turned the corner, i saw him sitting.. indian style.. pouring his bottle of rum into his coffee cup.. i knelt down and placed the bag and drink in front of him..

'ah.. i.. uh.. who are you?!' he totally forgot.

'mister.. you should really stop drinking..'

i walked away.. as i was about to cross the street.. i looked back.. and there he was.. passed out on the sidewalk.

my company just announced yet another massive layoff..

when is this going to end?

i'm still there.. but i feel as though they're dismantling my whole department..

sigh.
