Mostly because you know they don't need it and are just going to get in their Pathfinder and go back to daddy's house. That being said - it's nice to give something to the homeless every once in a while. I figure they wouldn't be out there sacrificing their dignity if they didn't have to. Also, if someone obviously needs change for a bus or whatnot....

Veruca, is it true that Boulder is really pretty? I was just looking at brochures for CU-Boulder, and it's soooo amazing. Who knows - it just might be the picture
, but it really looks nice!! Too bad my parents won't even let me apply out-of-state!
