I could roller skate. I just couldn't see me getting on those thin blades. It scared me to death. I am a chicken at heart. But I usually will speak up if I see someone doing something they shouldn't be doing. I wish I could afford to give hearts. I live on a fixed income. I try once a year to support DU. Which is one of the few organizations I will send to. I gave to St Jude and after that every charity organization calls and asks for money. I was sending money but I finally put a stop it just gets to be to much. I will give direct to PP from now on and to my local food banks and charities around my area. If everyone does this it will really help people.
