You may be right, huckelberry, and it is more than fair to call me on it. Some of the things they have written seem indistinguishable from things a troll would write, which is not the same thing.huckelberry wrote: ↑Sun Mar 17, 2024 5:48 pmI do not know about troll, accusation seems bit unfair.
I came across a website that (among other things) lets you find payphones by location -- it looks like the nearest payphone to me may be in a prison.I could not help but wonder when was the last time I saw a pay phone?
What if you and your DD were walking down a city street, heard a talented violinist playing and when you came up on the violinist, you saw that it was a homeless man wearing worn and dusty clothing.nowacatholic wrote: ↑Thu Mar 14, 2024 11:50 pmThat's unfortunate because she's actually a good violinist.
Payphones here are shells. The contain very high volumes of drunk people urine and is where drugs get exchanged.Bret Ripley wrote: ↑Sun Mar 17, 2024 7:43 pmYou may be right, huckelberry, and it is more than fair to call me on it.

Again, nope. Man somehow squeezed by without cell phones and laptops for thousands of years, so I think DD can gird her loins and live with the consequences of her actions for a few measly months. So her only option, since she's already grounded from using our landline for trying to talk about TSCC to a nevermo neighbor, is a pay phone. That's not a troll. That's good parenting.Bret Ripley wrote: ↑Sun Mar 17, 2024 5:16 pmTotally not a troll.nowacatholic wrote:... a pay phone would be sufficient for her needs.
I would turn her away for her own protection. We are financially blessed and I don't want her pissing away the trust fund she'll start getting when she turns 18 in the hopes, among other things, that she won't serve a TSCC mission, on homeless people. If she were to give your hypothetical man even a dollar, she'd get kicked out of our home the minute (12:01 a.m.) she turns 18 and she would lose her trust fund. Homeless people are unsafe and they are that way because of choices that they and they alone made.Jersey Girl wrote: ↑Mon Mar 18, 2024 2:17 amWhat if you and your DD were walking down a city street, heard a talented violinist playing and when you came up on the violinist, you saw that it was a homeless man wearing worn and dusty clothing.nowacatholic wrote: ↑Thu Mar 14, 2024 11:50 pmThat's unfortunate because she's actually a good violinist.
Would you turn her away from that person or would you stay to listen? And why?
