I strained my calf muscle at work yesterday. Today I was walking back from my car parked four blocks away and I passed a homeless women sitting on the curb of my street. I stopped to give her a dollar and she took one look at me and said nervously, “No, that’s OK, you keep it. You need it”.
Lol. When a poor homeless lady with nothing refuses to take my money, then I must be having a bad day.

probably best not to trust homeless on such issues… once saw my schizo eyes on a homeless dude - his eyes were blurred and white like, only difference, he was walking straight… I wasn’t walking straight when I had those eyes (had blurred eyes first days of my schizo). Gave him like 25 dollars, but he couldn’t see clearly, so he starred at the cash I gave him before he threw it on the ground and kept walking 
. Was going through the schizo mentality at the time, so I also didn’t pick the cash lol

That is quite an incident. I thought you were going to go in another direction with it. After I was diagnosed I would hear all these horror stories of what was going on with other people. People dying or nearly dying. And I knew the lesson was to be grateful for what I’ve got, but I still don’t feel it. Some days are better than others I suppose.
When me and my ex were homeless we played a game called please accept a chewing gum it involved my ex seeing if anyone would accept a chewing gum from a homeless person that kept me laughing.
Was the gum chewed already or did you just try to give them a fresh piece in the wrapper?
