Rescue the perishing…NEVER AGAIN!!!!

by Sandra Bennett
TCF

13 Dec

I’m so sorry; I’m apologizing ahead of time but I NEED to vent!

I have HAD ENOUGH! I’ll NEVER help anyone ever again! NEVER!! I’m either too kindhearted or too stupid…probably both!

Yesterday, it was so freezing cold outside that I took pity on someone and brought him into my home. Yes, out of the kindness of my heart, I opened hearth and home to him as he seemed to be shivering almost uncontrollably. When I got up this morning, he’d vanished; gone without even so much as a thank you or by your leave…simply gone!

To add injury to insult, he’d peed all over the living room floor! I couldn’t believe it! So much for being good to someone so NEVER AGAIN will this women repeat that particular kindness!

Please be warned and watch out for this man as he, apparently, cannot be trusted! He’s heavy set, wears a scarf tucked ’round his throat and his eyes are black as coal. His nose looks like a huge carrot and his arms are so skinny they resemble sticks!

Under NO circumstances should you take him into your home! The mess he made in my home is unbelievable and will take days to dry out!

You’re welcome.


Ponder this ~ a day without laughter is like a week without sunshine ~ MERRY CHRISTMAS!

    Ohhh so funny. I honestly believed this at first. I could see you taking in a homeless person as you are one of the most giving and kind hearted persons that I know.
    Merry Christmas dear friend and thank you for my lovely animated cards…

    You stinker! that's funny and yes sometimes we entertain angels when we are unaware and sometimes – icier visitors! Good senses of humor really get us through these so called golden years – ho ho ho and keep your powder as well as sense of humor dry!

    A friend on social media had also posted this. It had me going at first, and I was startled to think she'd even consider taking in a strange MAN into her home (she's a single mom). Oddly enough, she had friends comment who didn't get it as a joke, even after she explained it was! This is probably the best story-joke I've seen in a long time. Have a blessed Christmas.

    I got worried too, but realized at the end it was a snowman, not a real, creepy man, who peed on your floor. 🙂

    Happy Christmas holidays ~ FlowerLady
