RE: Free Tree
Are you serious? You want your huge tree removed/hauled away,dont want to pay anyone yet expect them to be ''professional'',have insurance & experienced crew.

Sure I can always use more Bur Oak lumber or firewood.But that's a $2000 removal job minimum.

Idiots.Too damn cheap to hire a qualified tree service.No proper tree service with liability insurance,experienced crew & the right equipment would do that for free.

He's a disabled vet, possibly a former POW. All proceeds go to a shelter for battered women and children.

Anything helps.

Wanna super huge pixie stix to go with your guilt?

Nah, just give him the pixie stix with your wood load. No guilt here.

Had he stated he was disabled and a vet, I'd have likely contacted him myself to see if I might know him and determine if help was indeed needed. Being a disabled vet myself, I'm familiar with the difficulties some face and am very pleased to be able to gather my own wood and help others when I can. Which I do.

As I said, no guilt on my part and I assume there isn't any on your's either. Now go share those pixie stix big fella...

I hope my post came across as humorous, as intended. At several highway ramps in the KC metro, groups of beggars gather, all of which pick one or more of the themes in my original post, including the guilt trip.

The "battered women shelter" is actually a quasi-church group that pushes it's members to collect money by selling large pixy stix. For the most part, the rest of them just want a bottle of vodka and some crack/meth.:givebeer:

The most memorable beggar I saw was a young woman begging for money at the Wal Mart in Minot, ND during the 2011 flood cleanup. Literally every business on Broadway (main n/s street) had signs offering jobs: inexperienced dish washer $18/hr. At the time Wal Mart was desperate to hire new employees, she could have walked 200' into the door and had a job on the spot....

I missed the sarcasm font on that one. I was wondering how you may have known whether this one was disabled or not from your location. My bad! ;)

It's tough sometimes to know who really needs help and who is just scamming. CL is full of those for sure!

Be well and do good OTR! :clap:
