I was sitting in my car waiting for a scary looking homeless man to finish walking by. I wanted to go inside my home, but he was getting near, you see. I was mugged in this same alley a couple months ago. He reached my car and knocked on my window as if I had not seen him. I looked at him (that did it, I think) and waved at him to go away. I was scared. I mean, I've been mugged and that's a scary thing. I've been assaulted before that, too, and that was traumatic (not in this alley). He walked away miserably.

I couldn't do it. I looked in my purse and took out the only cash I had (which was only like three dollars). I opened my window and stuck my head out yelling for him to come back. My car on drive and ready to take off if he tried anything, my phone on my lap, and I handed him the money when he arrived. I closed the window again and watched him walk away from the mirror. He didn't walk far. He sat down at a taco stand and had breakfast.

I have no more money until Friday. I have something, though. I have the knowledge that I can't stop being a friend to other humans just because a few have hurt me. If my son was ever hungry and I wasn't there to feed him, I'd love for someone to be brave.

Your story brought tears to my eyes, Ivy. Really.

I'm reminded that I had intended on gathering up unwanted blankets, coats, hats and gloves from friends and family and bringing them downtown on Saturday to give to some of the homeless that are around my office building. I regret that I got absorbed in my own troubles and forgot what was truly important.

I know cm and inches, being a Mexican American and all

I'd carefully take the current zipper out and sew a new one. I do it for my kids all the time.

My wife did that to her jacket last year... I think it's too much of a hassle for a 20€ jacket... still, I like that jacket... and it's warm and fluffy on the inside.
I'll try to crimp the slider like I saw on some site... hopefully, that's enough.

Success!!!
Now we'll let statistics do the talking and see how long it lasts!

Chilled, sitting in front of a digitally simulated fireplace, drinking coffee. The cab to take me to my Buddhist meditation never showed, so I just came home. Gonna take a nap in a bit. This winter traveling is going to kill me if I don't manage it first.

Having brunchfast, and trying to get inspired to do some craft.

Would that be witchcraft, Mistress Weatherwax?

In the kitchen? Yes

Once, Chao'chou ... was asked what he would say to a man who possessed nothing.

Chao'chou replied, "Throw it away!"
