AH WANT TO HELP THIS OLD LADY, BUT SCARED LIKE HELL

So fours ago, I made the mistake of giving her some monies and also told her, she can open the gate and full her bottles with water, anytime she want.  It was the biggest mistake ah ever made.  She bothered me day and night.  I could not get rid of her.  She became so problematic, that wifee say, ah doh care what you have to do get rid of her, just get rid of her.

Now ah beginning to feel sorry for her again.  It hurts me soul to see her hungry.  What the  F#$k ah go do?

Give the poor old lady man, god will smile on you. I have who my wife calls my Retainer, not quite right in the head but once a week he calls out at my gate. I give him money and old clothes and every time he comes he's wearing one of them - good marketing! He brings nice Julie mangoes, which my wife scrubs clean lol! Then we have my nephew's wife / baby modda, who comes around when in need, sometimes we'll help with cash, sometimes she'll do a day's work. Then there's ...

I remember the late Sylvia Mitchell on Blaize Street was choosy about who she gave to, and after all she knew the neighborhood and knew who walked by each day and probably when. Slice you know this person, and you could, in your kind self, exert some boundaries for her and still give her stuff. How would have Mex survived if it were not for the kind folks of St. George's? And he may have gone off to self-medication. When certain folks came to Mrs. Mitchell's gate, she knew which ones were going to buy drugs of some kind, including the alchoholy folks squatting next door. Use your good judgment combined with heart and set boundaries for your visitors.
