For a better tomorrow.

Tonight, on my way to get fancy pillows and a gravity blanket 10 minutes before the store closed, I came upon a man who was struggling on the street corner.
Initially, he seemed to have been gathering garbage by the corner (a normal scene in the city), closer look, there were things scattered about him - he was struggling to gather it all up, and in a drunken fashion backing up into zooming 6 lane traffic. Closer inspection, he had a postal uniform on. Fuck! I thought... as if not having a postal uniform would have changed the situation. Somehow in my mind, it had. But whatever, I kept walking... thinking someone else would help him. Gotta get these blankets after all... periodically looking back to see if someone else would help this man. No_one_did. Folks glared, stared, even heard, “Yo! Is that the postman? haha!”... heard from 2 men.
I walked back to where he was standing and observed for a moment more. I went inside the deli to ask the clerk for a trash bag. He was struggling with all this shit on the sidewalk and I really wanted him to get away from the cars. Items: kids action figure toys, 2 small baby jackets & his own jacket... he kept gathering it all up in his arms and dropping 1 item, then dropping everything. I came out after 2 minutes of the clerk showing me all of the fucking bags he was willing to part with. I said “NO, give me a real trash bag.” 2 minutes later I came out, he was walking down the train step stairs. “Seems ok now”, I thought. I went back in with the bag, gave it back to the clerk - in reality, I just did NOT want to deal with this right now.
Came back out to get on my way, he seemed to had fallen, belongings scattered everywhere. Ppl just stepped over him and his things. I went back, grabbed the bag and helped him throw his things into the bag. He was unstable. I told him to sit down (twice), and just hang out on the staircase for a moment. I asked him if he needed anything. He said no. I got him two Gatorade bottles made sure it was room temp (should have gotten him water instead).
He picked his head up and said ‘thank you bro, thank you... thank you bro,’ and shook my hand. I looked into his eyes and man I could see he was struggling. The holidays are hard for so many people. Was he using? Was his drug laced with something? Pointless I guess in trying to assume what happened. Could have been a multitude of things. He did not smell like alcohol, didn’t smell like anything at all really (and I have the nose of a dog) It made me sick to my stomach though literally had a visceral reaction to it.
I did not want to call 911. But let the clerk at the booth know. He wanted a description of the man and although he got that he is male, 30’s, 5’9, in postal uniform he still wanted his nationality and was red in anger that I did not provide that information. I suggested he go over and take a look and his anger grew. At least he knew someone was unwell on the premise... as well as a transit officer who was above ground sitting in an MTA car. I ended up walking away with him still screaming at my back on the microphone. I headed down to the subway, and my train arrived in seconds. Was supposed to go out later, staying in tonight.
So happens that this week I’m heading to a class that gives a 101 on drug overdoses and what we can do to save someone's life. I don’t know anyone who uses but I think it’ll be good info to have in my arsenal.
Fuck.
Pls check in on people this holiday.
All we really want is to connect with others - it’s at the root of addiction.I really hope this guy is okay.

docpoz really made the QBN experience worse. I'm coming less and less here because of him and his stupid trolling/ posts.
Not a fan of banning people but the mods should have a talk with him maybe.

Not sure how hard this is to implement, but a "Block" feature that hides posts and comments by select users might be a more permanent fix to our perennial troll problem.

So.....bit of a bizarre life story here today that I feel like I had to share.
Im a guy in my 40s, got married very young, had kids, built a home with a big mortgage. All was good until a few years ago when I ended up getting separated from my ex, the hardest time ever. Very messy separation, with kids and a house involved. Fast forward a few years to today, financial mediation negotiations are ongoing, and it's looking like I'll have to buy my ex out of the house and pay her around 40k.
First mediation meeting was just last week, all very civil and ok, but seriously stressful nonetheless trying to figure out where / how id manage to be able to continue to afford the mortgage and buy her out of the house too.
Then today, i get home from work, Friday evening, I open a letter from the bank, informing me they've been overcharging me for the past 10 years and owe me around 40k. almost the exact same amount I needed to buy out my ex...
Insane and bizzare timing...
Life can be fucking nuts...- Moral of the story, dont get married..
:ppedromendez - marriage is for pussiesdocpoz
- ah sweet... thanks for the heads-up docpoz you overflowing bag of cunt biscuits™pedromendez

- Bank was overcharging you on your mortgage? Wow!monospaced
- Legally, half the 40K is hers. Communal property, dude. I'd keep that little gift on the DL if were you ;)Gnash
- Yeah feels like I've won the lotto to be honest. Will be split 50/50 yep.pedromendez
- @mono - yeah, banks made an error on my mortgage interest rates for over 10 years! totally nuts!pedromendez

- my favorite film ... I consider it underrated because for some reason, so many people I meet aren't even aware of itmonospaced
- That’s crazy ... just watched it the other night, such a classic. I guess the younger demo doesn’t know about this little gem since it came out so long ago.Ramanisky2

“I like you Clarence. Always have. Always will.”Ramanisky2 - yeah I saw this before reservoir dogs and fell in love with it instantly. it's probably my top 2-3 movies of all time._niko
- the reason it's so underrated and underwatched is that it's a hard sell telling your bros that the movie you picked for bros movie night is " True Romance" lol_niko
- I've never felt that saying the words "True Romance" is uncomfortable.monospaced
- Being older I now see quite how stylized the dialog is in tarantino films – when i was 14 watching this stuff i though it was just how americans talked!DaveO
- I think that's why his was so great, they took it out of his hands and it wasn't over-tarantino'd_niko
- Meh.docpoz
- This was directed by Tony Scott.monospaced

1.true romance
2. res dogs
3. pulp fiction_niko - ^even though he only wrote the screenplay for TR_niko
- Tarantino didn’t have his director chops yet with the studio. So they had Tony Scott take the helm. Still can’t believe he killed himself. Awesome director.BH26

Charged a client a higher hourly rate for a project recently - I was hesitant and expected to have to explain the invoice. But invoice was paid promptly and without question.
Now she has recommended me to one of her clients at the going (higher) rate and I'm so glad I stuck to my guns and charged what I charged.
