I participate in politics. I do nothing else, because I'm a lazy slob.

I took a bi-polar person and gave them a deal on rent in my duplex. I frequently went to visit her and even took her and her kids to Six Flags Great America. Gave her advice and just generally helped her out and set her on the right path. She paid me back by burning down my duplex. I generally don't help out anymore...

Dolores and I are putting a neighbor's kid through college in the Phils. We also do things for the extended family there. The family have lots of kids that will be college age soon. I gotta get that casino job! Btw, that kid, Mario, has 9 brothers and sisters. His sister will be coming up on college age soon. If anyone wants to help her I can give contact info. Cost you $20 to $30 a month.

Lots of community stuff goes on there. For instance we scrape our plates into a bucket. Every day a kid comes around and collects the stuff from buckets from every house. The kid feeds it to their family pig...

We invited the local people over for bingo and fed them while there. That way the poor in the area got help and didn't feel embarrassed.

Lots of little stuff like that.

When are we building another house???

Ted, why don't you put Mario's sister through college?

**Ted Striker** · May 13, 2005, 00:14

I actually do some community work once a week, and it's very rewarding. I just keep that kinda stuff private. Doing community work is a cornerstone of my life and now that I'm back into it, I can't imagine not doing it. The hardest part is getting started, but once you set aside the time, for some reason you'll find you have MORE time in the long run.

Good for you Mister Fun for giving back, you are going to find many good things will come from your deeds.

I would, but I'm already doing that for someone.

I would like to do a one time donation though if you have something for that.

Well thanks, but right now I'm talking about doing what I mentioned in the OP -- it's a matter of juggling the other responsibilities I already have, so that I can put my words into action.

**Ted Striker** · May 13, 2005, 00:19

Yeah, getting started is the hardest part, but once you get into it, those other responsibilities well seem easy to balance.

**Lancer** · May 13, 2005, 00:20

Two year college, say $25 per month...do do de dooo...$600?

If that's too much I'll let you know if we hear of any other needs. Thanks for your continued interest Ted, and for everything you've done in the past. Still hope you can come with us to the Phils some day...

**Ted Striker** · May 13, 2005, 00:22

Oh okay. Little steep for me, but keep me informed of any new needs that might pop up.

**Lancer** · May 13, 2005, 00:25

Will do Ted, and remember the invite.

MrFun, thanks!
