What up gang - this week off to the far reaches of NoDa to Divine Barrel, reddit's #1 rated brewery in Charlotte.
Home to delicious brews and a fun space, tonight they also have a food truck: RiQras Empanadas-R-Us: https://instagram.com/riqras_de_empanadasrus
Inside there's vinyl night and a small open mic. If the weather is nice catch us outside, how about that?
Parking should still be in that gravel lot across the street if you cannot get one of the 3 spots in front of the brewery and some street parking too.
Come swing by if in the area!
Next week we'll be at Charlotte Beer Garden in South End bro'ing it up (rompers and sperrys required). If Charlotte is in a black out that's the move.
See you out there!

I pulled her card from my lockbox today. I couldn’t bring myself to remove it from its wrapping though. I’ll explain the card in a little while. Even in just that briefest of moments though, the tears became too thick. I so wanted to see her name. Instead I decided to only go back to the memories. They bring enough tears. So I put the card back but need to tell my story of that memory. So thank you for your time in letting me indulge dear Reader. I know your time is precious and I am loquacious of a sort.
The place I used to work at a long, long time ago, Croc’s, was an odd duck. It was a Transformer of sorts. During the day and early evening it was a damn good Mexican restaurant. One of the best in town. Lunch was insane. Dinner was a respite. But on Friday, Saturdays, some Thursdays, and almost every holiday eve, it was… I don’t even have words. Nothing like what went on in those walls had been seen in Denver at the time. We had lines around blocks. The plural is not a mistake. On those nights, Croc’s was THE place to be in Denver. The owners got there before everyone else and had hit a jackpot with the place. The Rockies were starting over at Mile High and moving to LoDo soon. LoDo was booming and we were in the middle of it partying like no tomorrow every night.
But this isn’t about that amazing place, that’s for another day. Nope. This is about her, her son and I. Or rather, about loss and memories. But it all started at Croc’s and you needed to know what a breath of a moment in time we shared there. Not on one of those crazy nights but one lazy Sunday when we were pretty slow.
I mentioned the restaurant was an odd duck. See, it was designed so that from breakfast through dinner and into very early evening, it was a purposeful, full-fledged, extremely popular, and well reviewed dining establishment. But after that, it was designed so we could remove every table, chair, stool and booth. We essentially turned the whole restaurant into a giant dance floor with a bar that spanned half the distance of the long wall topped with massive tequila and booze pyramids. The wells were at either end with a plant potter behind them for storage. It was split level(ish) with a few VIP areas squirreled away. State of the art DJ booth on the south end of the bar. Oh and did I mention we had a 28 foot replica of a Nile croc suspended from the roof named “Hal”.
The owners were a group of friends who had grown up in the business. One of them was from the family that started Senior Frogs and the like down in Mexico. They had all met and worked at some of the hottest places in the state and been to some of the craziest places around the Americas. So when I say no one had seen anything like it, they hadn’t. We had a person that would blow tequila from a custom bong into a partier's mouth from 30 feet away. Our DJ’s were the best in town. We poached the absolute best in talent from every bar in a 4000 mile radius. That movie “Cocktail”? Yeah, that was this place on steroids. Hell, beside myself and 1 or 2 other guys, our security eventually turned into off duty SWAT cops. All these places around Denver and, hell, around the country you see now? Yeah these guys started it right there in LoDo.
It was the paper and crayons we would put on every table though where my memory begins.
There had been other places that had done what we did with the butcher block paper. It went on every table with crayons. It wasn’t the most innovative thing there but it was fun and the patrons enjoyed it. Many great artists out there! And of course the kids loved it. A lot of the folks who lived around there would bring their kids with them for lunch or dinner. I worked a lot of Sunday day shifts because a) everyone was hung over and never wanted to work and b) it was usually a nice bit of quiet after two nights that would make Caligula jealous. Plus the people who did come in were usually pretty cool and just out for a good meal. It was pretty chill after all that joyous chaos.
My section was usually the front lifted area just in front of the potters and a few tables in the middle. I was splitting with the other server that day since it was more dead than usual. A beautiful Colorado day back then. Blue sky with puffy clouds. Perfect temperature with no wind so the front doors to the small little patio were open. You could smell the flowers from across the street. The other server let me know she had sat a couple of people at one of my four tops. Sounded good so I headed out to say hello.
It was customary for us to write our name on the paper when we showed up. It was hokie but everyone loved it. It was our way of saying welcome and have fun! Some servers could do it upside down but I could never get the hang of that.
I headed down the bar toward the front, preoccupied with getting my marker out for the intro. I remember coming around the corner of the potter and just kind of coming to a juddering stop at the top step, tripping and almost falling on my face. Luckily she was a little preoccupied with her son and getting him situated so she missed seeing me make a gobsmacked fool out of myself.
I luckily regained what little balance I could alongside some composure quick enough to walk up and say hi. She said hi and then kind of waited. “Oh yeah dumbass” I said to myself as I told her, or rather flubbed, my name as I wrote it in the corner so they could read it right side up. She giggled a little bit as most people did with my nickname at the time. I hadn’t noticed but her son had been waiting the whole time for that moment. He grabbed his crayon and wrote his name and her name in front of them. “That’s a good name isn’t it?” I asked him. I told him it was the same as mine but the longer version. He was a little surprised by this as I went by “Scooter” back then. It took a second but he quickly realized it was a nickname. He had signed the long version of our name and said that’s what he liked. Right on man, you got it. Damn smart kid. You can tell, ya know?
After that briefest of moments, I shook myself a little and introduced myself for, I think the fourth time now. She tells me her name but it is instantly gone. Not only because of the effect this moment is having on me, but just because I am bad with names on the first go around. I don’t think we heard what either was saying anyway. Our eyes were locked and in that moment, it was all that mattered somehow. I can remember how deeply they shined. Her hair was a little damp and unkempt like someone in a hurry but has that respect for herself. Dark like her eyes but shining from the light outside. A simple blue/light purple and white striped shirt. Slightly damp around the shoulders. Worn jeans. Not the designer type but jeans aged with a good strong life. Blue canvas deck shoes with the white souls if I remember that part right. Maybe black canvas. I saw all this without ever breaking her gaze.
It was as if in the same moment we both realized we were in the same place together but not there alone. A moment later we both found ourselves apologizing for talking over the other. Sheepishly, like teens on their first date. Giggling a bit. Not knowing what was happening but knowing that something most definitely was. I apologized for the awkwardness and I think I cracked a joke or something but neither of us knew what to do. There was a calm panic and, I dare to say, a longing that was unknown?
It was her son who brought us both back to reality. He had asked if we had Coke or Pepsi. I shook myself internally again and told him we had Coke but could find some Pepsi if he really wanted it. Luckily he was not a Pepsi kid. I also told him that, yes, I would be happy to add a cherry to it. This time though when I met his eyes, I looked at myself when I was that age, as I answered that question. I hadn’t noticed it. Like a mirror as they say. Dark brown hair full of cowlicks. Round face with a big smile. Getting that cherry meant the world to him. I remembered that same feeling again through him. It was like looking at a version of myself I only saw in pictures.
At this very second in time I remember being terrified. Not “scared” terrified. It was more like, holy shite is this happening? What is going on? I wanted to turn and run and hide but somehow regained what little composure was left in that split second. I turned back to her and saw that she had just seen what I had seen. I could see wonder, joy, confusion, happiness, peace, thrill, fear and hope that I am sure were being reflected in my own eyes. We both needed a few minutes. We each could see it. It was overwhelming. Again, not a bad overwhelming but one of those moments where you need to put your hands on your knees and take some big, deep breaths.
The whole 3 or 4 minutes were surreal. And I will never forget them. I will fight as hard as I can to hold onto the others I have of both of them.
Somehow I managed to Charlie Chaplin myself away to get their drink order. I believe hers was a Sprite with a lemon. Normally I would go right around the corner of the plant potter and get the sodas from the guns there. Instead I went all the way to the back station. I needed to breathe. It seemed like an hour but I headed back. By this time the son was going to town. He had talent and it showed. It seemed like we had regained ourselves somewhat but the whole meal was kind of like an episode out of a teen comedy. We giggled, laughed, blushed, and did all the other things you would expect to see from two teenagers who discover they like each other. It wasn’t like I was trying to stay with them, or they tried to keep me there. It just kind of happened. I’d start to go away and she would ask me back for something simple. I would bring something I had forgotten in case they needed it. The whole meal went that way.
When they were done and ready to go, I was dreading it. Should I ask her out? She had mentioned she was single. It felt like I should ask her out. Like I said, the whole visit was surreal. There was no ring or even a suntan line of one (Don’t judge me, it was a different time). I wasn’t seeing anyone either. We seemed to get along amazingly, both her and her son. Even my fellow server noticed and was egging me on. It was obvious. Doing something like that with a client back then happened. Not usually in the first 30 seconds but you never know. I made up my mind to walk them out as I had no other tables and see what happened. I took the check to the table. She was packing her bag. I had gotten a refill for his togo cup and handed it to him. He said thank you and said he drew something for me. They had carefully torn it from the paper and he handed it to me. It was the three of us holding hands. How I held the tears then I do not know. I was a different person there at that precise point in time. At this moment those tears are here though.
I bent down to his level and thanked him sincerely. He said he was glad I liked it and he hugged me. I heard her try to stifle her gasp. Thank any or no gods or whoever for him. He let go, grabbed his Mom’s hand and said he was ready to go. As I stood up I could see tears welling in her eyes. He hadn’t done that to another man in, what she said, was a very long time she would tell me in a quiet voice as we started to walk toward the door. That was it. I didn’t know what to do. I hadn’t even noticed that when we got to the big double doors, he had grabbed my hand. It just was there.
By this time I do not think either of us really knew what to do or what was going on. I mean, this was an impromptu outing to a place her son had liked because of the paper. It was a cheap and good lunch and then off to wherever for them and another table for me while I rolled silverware in the back or stocked the empty quicks from the previous night. But it seemed like it had been years together but only moments, if that makes sense? I certainly did not know what to do at this point. I think I mumbled what a delight it was to be able to spend time with them and I hoped they had enjoyed themselves or something like that. I honestly could not tell you. By this time she had regained herself somewhat. That girlishness turned into an elegance, beauty and strength that I had not seen before. But those same feelings exchanged in that momentary glance were still there. As was still a bit of moisture along the bottom of her eyes. We made a bit of small talk till he got a bit antsy and wanted to head off.
As we said our goodbyes that day, almost at the same time, we asked our questions. I asked if she would like to come by again soon with her son. His birthday was coming up I think and I could get the guys in back to make him something special. At least I think that was it. Her’s was if it would be ok if they came back soon. You know because the little guy liked drawing and the food. More childish giggling and laughing. And before she left she gave me her card and said to call if I was going to be working again on a Sunday or just whenever. As they walked together, hand in hand down and around the corner, I just stared at them and then the card over and over.
That very card I put back in a safe place tonight.
She was a designer as it turned out. I didn’t pry into her past as it sounded like it wasn’t all that great at times. She came by the restaurant a few more times after that. I then called once or twice to say hi and how they were doing and to let her know to come by. Eventually she asked me out. We spent some time together and it started to get a little more serious. She was a few years older but not by much. She was driven and forthright. Quick witted and compassionate. And such a good Mom with a massive heart. I was young then, somewhat good looking, fairly well paid and worked at the hottest spot in the state. And I had this woman I couldn’t get out of my head. Even my coworkers knew and could see what was going on whenever we were together. Either just the two of us or all three of us. Walking on clouds was an apt statement. At this point I want to point out that while I am no saint whatsoever, I do consider myself a decent person. At least I was back then and for the most part today. Things have changed as they always do but I digress.
Eventually the moment came. The serious date. She had a small but fantastic apartment downtown and wanted to make me dinner for once. I don’t think she was done asking before I said yes. We set a date for later that week. I remember it was a Saturday because me taking a night off from that place, with all its amazing moments each night to the amount of money you walked out with each night to leaving one of the other bouncers with one of the other guys he wasn’t used to, was a pretty big deal. Had to call in favors but everyone just said go. No one there batted an eye. They all seemed to know what a big deal this was somehow.
We set it for a little later in the evening so I could get things in proper working fashion up front of the house and then head over. Any of you who have worked in a restaurant know that smell you get. Kind of need to have worked in that environment to know I guess. So that night, I didn’t have time to head home then come back. So I had a change of clothes and a vanity bag so I could clean up in the back. Wouldn’t be the first time I got sprayed down by the dishwasher but probably a first for this reason. Cleaned up pretty well, freshly shaved and quaffed, walking so far above Cloud 9 I lost track of which one I was on. Headed out to put the work kit and bag in the truck. On the way out a few who knew what had been going on smiled or waved.
And off I went. I was a little late but she said she had expected it given the night of the week. Back then, downtown Denver was different. Colorado was different. I guess everywhere was different back then. But in this instance, I mean in an architectural way. You didn’t have the towers all around LoDo as you do now. From some rooftops you could still watch a sunset over the mountains. Say what you will, even I have to admit that a purple and orange sunset over the mountains is quite possibly the most beautiful natural thing I have seen. It is immense but oh so fleeting. Just like our lives I guess. You could still hear birds and bugs over cars at times. I wouldn’t say it was peaceful but it was at least calm?
She was lucky as her apartment, though smallish, came with a hidden bonus. Her window allowed her to access the roof on the next building. A part of it anyway. But this little slice of hidden wonder allowed a view down Market Street, across Spear, over Auraria and then the mountain view. It was stunning. Like the apartment, the space was just cozy enough for two to enjoy a little rooftop barbeque and dining. She gave me the quick tour and we poured some wine. She was going through the menu as we “headed outside”. The door was a small little window. I remember scratching my head and thinking I may not fit out there. She handled it with the grace of a ballerina and said I could do it. It took a minute or two but I contorted my clumsy self outside. And she was right. It was spectacular.
Not just the view but what she had done with her little corner of peace. She had talked with the building owner who agreed that she could use this space as he didn't even know about it. It was like something out of a commercial today. A nice little seating couch type niche. Well built trellis with some small Christmas lights for effect. A little brick grilling area with a hibachi going. I can still smell it. The table with candles and dinnerware. Decking. I was taken aback. The way it was situated insulated her from the sounds down below. You could hear them but it was almost like distant white noise. It was just peaceful. I remember remarking about this. She said she discovered it by accident when her son thought it might be a good play area.
Dinner was wonderful. The night went on. There wasn’t a sense of time. Just us there in that little part of the universe that was only hers. To this day I do not think I felt that safe before anywhere nor since. Someone was letting me into one of their most sacred spots. Literally and figuratively. I felt privileged. Almost as though I was treading somewhere I shouldn’t be. I think that thought was my downfall however. Don’t worry dear Reader, you will understand all that very soon. We watched that sunset. It was perfect. The right contrast of colors. Just the right amount of clouds to change those colors ever so slightly. A reminder of how something can change for the simplest of reasons.
As night grew darker it started to get cold. The goosebumps we were feeling on each other's skin holding hands and looking at the stars weren’t just from feelings. It was getting cool so we moved inside. After safely dousing the grill and making sure the coals were in their proper place, we cleaned up. Since it was easier, I stayed outside and handed them into the house to her. We figured it would be safer for the dishes. Giggled some more as we came to realize more and more things about each other at the same time. Finally the outside was clear. I stood outside for another minute to take in what was happening. I think that is then that little bit of fear weeded its way in without my realizing it. This was as close to perfect as I could ever dream I thought.
After squeezing back inside, assisted again but ok with that, we cleaned up the dishes and opened another bottle of wine. The inside was just as cozy. At some point she had lit some more candles and had some soft music going. Light jazz if I remember. Not loud at all. Again, there, just outside the periphery. Sitting on the couch I can feel her sitting next to me. We are close. Two people holding each other wanting to believe but not sure if this is real. There was almost a vibration. The constant goosebumps were not because of the cold anymore. Once we were both comfortable and we just talked. For hours and hours. There were the intimate moments but nothing scandalous. A tenuous kiss from one to the other.
We talked about what two people talk about who truly want to know the other. I believe we asked as many honest questions of ourselves as we did of the other. We really, truly, wholly wanted to know each other. And that is what we did. The more we talked the more comfortable we felt. Each of us had our scars that were not easily revealed. Nor did we reveal all of them that night and guarded them well. But we each wanted to know if the other was someone we could trust with those deepest places that we all hide in the darkest parts of our soul.
We talked a little about her son’s father but not in depth. It was easy to see that was one of the scars. We talked about her son. Why she was so astonished that first day. My heart wrenches this very moment dear Reader upon remembering that. Her hopes for him. His likes and his dislikes. Some of the stories parents tell others to embarrass their children later in life. We talked about what futures there could be not for us but for him and his world. He really was an amazing kid and I am sure has grown up to be someone she can be proud of. Time did not exist that night. Feelings and thoughts were exchanged that did not need to be said. We just knew each other that night.
We never did finish the second bottle if memory serves, we talked, laughed and sat together in peaceful comfort and gave no care about anything else. But tomorrow was coming as it always does and we had to leave each other. I remember the closeness as we held each other. The pressure of two bodies at that singular moment in time. That one instant that feels as though it could last through infinity. When two become one and feel the safety, love, compassion, trust and sameness that is rarely, if ever experienced.
Pardon me dear Reader but must ask a moment to compose myself. We are getting close to the end of my tale so also ask for just a bit more of your time. I know how so very precious it is. Thank you for allowing me to continue.
I do not know how long we held each other. To this day I wish it had been so much longer however. I do remember leaving. Working where I did, I was sadly but actively very familiar with many different levels and types of inebriation. That feeling that morning however was something that surpassed all that I had experienced in my life. I had never felt like this. I knew that the sun was starting to come up as I parked my car. I knew that I got through the door, downstairs and then fell asleep. I wasn’t drunk. It was pure. A pure love, happiness, joy and trust I had never felt from someone else. This feeling was so powerful it had knocked me for a loop that I just was not ready for.
I awoke later that day, thankful I didn’t have to work. It was late in the afternoon and I felt like I had been hit by a bus but didn’t care. I believe that the night before we both had excised many things that we had held inside for so long. I could (and can) still remember the whole night if not the words. I felt like one does after you give everything physically possible to something and have nothing left to give. But it felt right. Regardless of the ending, I do believe that, even though brief, that night, two people who had needed to find each other did. I think they needed to know that there was at least one person who understood, even if they hadn’t needed to actually say anything.
Now dear Reader I must ask you to remember that part about fear. Given my early life and life up to that point and to this day, I do find it very hard to trust. So this was something I had to confront. And so I started to. Instead of seeing what she saw in me, I saw the things I thought were ugly. I got scared that those scars would be peeled away and she would be repulsed. And these thoughts and fears grew. We still saw each other and talked for a while after that night. But my fear took over quickly. Before I knew it I had driven her away. There was no maliciousness about it. The thoughts that had ruled my life for so long before her and then after her, to this day, always got to the same thing. If you let her in, she will leave because of who you are. It was idiotic but it was ingrained at this point. I eventually told her I didn’t think it was going to work out. The truth was that I was scared. Scared to let her in. I hated myself for not being honest with her. She would have understood. Probably more than any other.
After that, I went on with my life as a young person does in that atmosphere. I saw her one time after that final talk. She waved as she and her son sat in a section away from mine. I waved back and remembered going out back and beating the hell out of our cooler there. I was so mad at myself then. While the anger passed as life threw one thing at me after another as it does until I find myself here today writing this, the pain of losing her has never healed. Nor do I want it to. That pain also brings memories that I so rarely experience anymore. I buried it for a long, long, long time but recently I find myself thinking about her and her son more and more. What would have been?
For you see dear Reader, that moment was my perfect chance. Not long ago in my life I was diagnosed with cancer. I eventually beat it but it has long since ruined my life. But that is not why I tell this tale. I ask for no sympathy. My life is where I am supposed to be. I have come to peace with that. To an extent I guess anyway. The reason it was my perfect chance is this. I was also diagnosed with a genetic defect which essentially makes me a cancer producer with no natural way to fight it. My mothers father died of colon and pancreatic cancer. My Mother has beaten 5 different bouts of cancer. I have been tested and confirmed. So if I had had a child, I would more than likely have passed that to them. After listening to what my mother watched her father go through. After watching my own Mother fight this monster 5 times and win each time. After all that I was horrified to learn that I could have passed this monster to someone I would have loved with all my heart.
I never married and never had a child. For most of my life I regretted that most of all to the point of shame. I am the last person in my familial lineage that will ever carry my name. My line dies with me. For the longest time that has been a great burden. However, after the geneticist confirmed me and a great deal of internal contemplation, with the aid of hindsight, part of me is glad that I never had a wife and child who would have to go through the horrors I have heard about, watched and gone through first hand and personally. That at least brings me a modicum of inner peace. Do not be fooled ever though. This monster is evil. It takes everything from all but the luckiest.
And I had my moment of perfect chance. Even though I did not know it at the time, I had an opportunity to spend the rest of my life with two someones who I truly believe to this day, loved me. Even if for so very briefly. I gave up the chance to be able to be a husband and care for someone I believe I loved and loved me. I had a chance to be the father I wanted to be without passing on my monster. To see a child grow into their best self. I get angry at times that I did this. Not necessarily my own selfish needs. I am also mad that this person trusted me and I couldn’t do the same in the end. That I let a child down who for his own reasons let me in when he shut others out. That we could have been the family we could have been. And I ran because I was scared. I can never forgive myself for doing that to them. This may sound selfish and perhaps it is but it is my history.
And now dear Reader we come to the end of my tale. Where it all began.
Her card.
I think you will understand why I put it away instead of taking it out after this. I mentioned that she was a designer. Her card is exquisite. I don’t need to see it to describe it. There is a silver cord ribbon wrapped around a waxed paper tied in a bow. It sparkles silver but is brittle after all the years. I can slide the card out carefully but don’t want to take a chance of damaging it. My hands aren’t the best anymore. The writing on the card is done with a most excellent penmanship in purple over white with black. The backing is white with the black used as border highlighting with purple as the border and main color. There is a bit of sparkle in one of the purples but not a garish amount. Just enough to catch the eye. The back is similar with details of her work at the time as well as some contact information. I don’t know if she did this on all of them, but there was a scent of her perfume that accompanied it for a while. It, like much else, has faded.
We all have a place to keep our most precious items. This one rarely leaves that place for me.
So in the really bad times dear Reader, I try to look at that card. I say try because it is very painful to try to do so. Today was one of those days and I wanted to share it. In the end I couldn’t get past the tears to look at it so returned it to its safety. Not really because of the pain. Believe me, the pain is there in vast amounts. But because of that first moment. I needed to remember what that feeling was like. I needed to remember what it is to look in another's eyes and see the whole universe and all its infinite possibilities. Some regrets, regardless of time, will always follow you. Be honest about that with yourself dear Reader. Today I needed to remember her and him. I needed that acceptance. That peace. That joy, That trust. That love.
This time however I needed to commit this to our history so that perhaps at least one other will read it and maybe it will impact somehow. This is not meant to be a moralistic tale. It is just a tale of love lost. A life that could have been different. I hope, dear Reader, that your life is filled with wonder and love. Do not miss a single chance in your life because of fear. Be cautious but be open. Your world is massive but also miniscule. The chances don’t happen often anymore so grab them and hold onto them when you can. Try to think of all possibilities and look through others' eyes. But most importantly. If you do find your perfect moment, do not let it go dear Reader. It may never come again.
That is the end of my tale. I thank you so much dear Reader. As I have said many times, your time is precious and I have taken enough. Safe journeys to you my friend.

Are you looking for a meaningful way to make a positive impact on the lives of others? Consider donating your vehicle today. Vehicle donation is a powerful act of generosity that not only benefits charities and organizations but also opens doors of hope and opportunity for those in need. By donating your vehicle, you can contribute to a variety of causes and make a lasting difference in your community.

Supporting Charitable Organisations

When you donate your vehicle, you provide valuable support to charitable organizations. These organizations rely on donations to fund their programs and initiatives, which often serve vulnerable populations and work towards creating positive change. Whether it's a local shelter, an educational institution, or a healthcare organization, your donation can help them continue their important work.
Charities often use the proceeds from donations to further their mission. They may use the funds to provide essential services, such as food and shelter for the homeless, educational resources for underprivileged children, medical treatments for those in need, or support for individuals facing challenging circumstances. Your donation can enable these organizations to expand their reach and make a greater impact on the lives of the people they serve.

Environmental Benefits Of Vehicle Donation

Donation not only supports charitable causes but also contributes to environmental sustainability. Older vehicles, especially those in poor condition, tend to emit higher levels of pollutants and greenhouse gases. By donating your old vehicle, you help remove these environmentally harmful vehicles from the roads and reduce carbon emissions.
When you donate your vehicle, it can be responsibly recycled or resold. In many cases, parts and materials from the vehicle are salvaged and reused, minimizing the need for new production. This reduces the demand for raw materials and energy required to manufacture new vehicles, ultimately benefiting the environment.

The Process Of Donation

Donating your vehicle is a straightforward process. Start by researching reputable organizations that accept donations. Look for organizations that have a transparent donation process and a proven track record of making a positive impact. Once you have chosen a suitable organization, follow their instructions to initiate the donation process.
Typically, you will need to provide some information about your vehicle, such as its make, model, and condition. Many organizations offer convenient options for vehicle pick-up, making the donation process hassle-free. After the donation is complete, you will receive a receipt that can be used for tax purposes, as donations are often tax-deductible.

The Power Of Your Vehicle Donation

Your donation has the power to unlock hope and opportunity for individuals and communities in need. It can provide access to education, healthcare, and essential resources that may have otherwise been out of reach. By donating your vehicle, you become a catalyst for positive change, making a difference in the lives of those who need it most.

Tax Benefits Of Donation

One additional benefit of donating your vehicle is the potential for tax benefits. In many countries, including the United States, donations to eligible charitable organizations are tax-deductible. This means that you can deduct the fair market value of your donated vehicle from your taxable income, potentially reducing your tax liability.
It's important to note that the specific tax benefits can vary depending on the country and its tax laws, as well as the organization you choose to donate to. It's recommended to consult with a tax professional or refer to the tax regulations in your country to understand the eligibility criteria and the process for claiming the tax deduction.

Donating Different Types Of Vehicles

Donation is not limited to cars alone. Many charitable organizations accept various types of vehicles, including trucks, motorcycles, boats, RVs, and even aircraft. So, if you have a vehicle other than a car that you no longer need or use, consider donating it to a worthy cause.
By expanding the range of accepted vehicles, organizations can generate more support and offer donors greater flexibility. So, whether you have a recreational vehicle gathering dust in your garage or a boat that rarely hits the water, donating these vehicles can have a significant impact and contribute to causes you care about.

Researching And Choosing The Right Organization

When deciding to donate your vehicle, it's crucial to research and choose the right organization that aligns with your values and goals. Take the time to explore different charities and their programs to ensure your donation goes where it is most needed and can create the greatest impact.
Look for organizations with a strong reputation, transparent financials, and a clear mission. Check if they are registered as a nonprofit or charitable organization, as this ensures they meet specific legal requirements and are accountable for their actions. Reading reviews and testimonials from other donors can also provide valuable insights into an organization's credibility and effectiveness.

Conclusion

Vehicle donation is a powerful way to contribute to charitable causes and create a positive impact. It supports organizations that work tirelessly to uplift communities and provides environmental benefits by reducing carbon emissions and promoting recycling. Take the opportunity with Cars4Compassion today to unlock hope and opportunity by donating your vehicle, and be a part of a better future for all.

So the father of my child pays my rent(he does this to avoid me going for child support and avoid paying daycare costs) and I do not work due to high childcare costs and I am still recovering from birth. he is basically in and out of our lives. He is currently on a separate lease for the place I live since they are split into separate rooms within the unit.
My question is, do I still have to report him in my household even though the off chance he is here, I do not cook or share food with him? Can the ebt office see he also has a lease at my address? I'm in NC btw

Here are all of the new US CHAdeMO (Leaf fast-charging) stations that rolled out in May 2023, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.
There were 124 "new" CHAdeMOs added in May. To put it in perspective, there were 112 CCS chargers added in April. I think the pace of CHAdeMO rollout has stabilized, while the pace of CCS rollout is still increasing. This makes sense given that only Nissan still makes a CHAdeMO car.
Some of these chargepoints will be "refreshes," e.g. the provider replaced them with faster chargers etc. Some may be incorrect. This report is only as good as the Alternative Fuels Data Center data.
We all know that CHAdeMO is a legacy format and will eventually go away, but clearly Nissan and their partners are continuing to support it for the time being. This shouldn't be surprising. After all, you can still buy a new Leaf.
If you'd like to know about new chargers along your routes right away, or reading these monthly reports is just frustrating in your state, I've set up a free service that provides email notifications only when new stations actually open. You can sign up at evpov.com. I built it to help EV owners like myself (especially my fellow Leaf owners). You can pick other plug types as well.
To streamline this post, multi-chargepoint locations are listed with the number of chargepoints first, so that's why the post is shorter than in previous months.

What's the funniest joke you've ever heard?

Here are all of the new US CCS (Level 3 fast-charging) stations that rolled out in May 2023, according to the Department of Energy. These chargers are suitable for most new EVs on the market, except for:

1. Tesla drivers who haven't bought the official CCS adapter yet. Certain older Teslas need additional work done to accept the adapter.
2. Leaf owners like me, and some owners of older cars that also use CHAdeMO. If you drive a Leaf, or an older CHAdeMO car, see my matching post in leaf.

Some of these chargepoints will be "refreshes," e.g. the provider replaced them with faster chargers etc. Some may be incorrect. This report is only as good as the Alternative Fuels Data Center data.
There were 222 CCS charge points added or refreshed in May 2023, which is up from 171 in April. For comparison, there were only 74 new CCS charge points in May 2022. Things are speeding up.
"What about CCS charging at Tesla superchargers?" Tesla is in the process of rolling out their "magic dock" for non-Tesla cars, but so far in very few locations. If they start doing this at scale and reporting it to the Alternative Fuels Data Center then it will be reflected here.
"What about Ford vehicles with NACS (Tesla) plugs?" They are not on sale yet. Current-generation Ford vehicles have CCS plugs. The next generation will have NACS (Tesla) plugs, but will also support CCS via an adapter.

Damion Dayski’s trying to make the best of his shift on the food truck, so when he sees hottie Willow Ryder walk by, he offers her a lemonade gratis. Just his luck: Willow turns out to be a slut who wants to get on the truck and have her perky little titties sucked! Willow handles the window as Damion licks her pussy, and enticing hottie Violet Gems to come kiss her, and Damion heats up a hot dog in her pussy before fucking her doggystyle. The customers may not enjoy this unorthodox approach to food, but Willow loves every second!"

About the product:
The signature custard tarts have a crunchy crust and a creamy custard center which is not too sweet but still full of flavor (sweet, salty, and a hint of sourness/tanginess).
They can be enjoyed hot, warm, cold, during breakfast, lunch, dinner, after dinner, as a snack/merienda, while studying, watching anime, walking, mountain climbing, sky diving, literally anytime, anywhere, everything, everywhere, all at once.
​
The custarts (yes, I call them that) have similarities and distinct differences to the traditional Portuguese custard tarts being sold in the Philippines and to the ones more widely sold overseas.
Apart from having a unique flavor profile, what sets them apart is that these custarts have a lot fewer calories per gram than the traditional ones so there's less guilt about eating them.
Compared to the Portuguese custard tarts or to more widely known snacks/desserts like donuts, cakes, cookies, and brownies, you can enjoy these more, regardless of whether you're mindful of calories or not.
The best thing that sets these apart from the traditional ones is that they are a lot cheaper by the gram.
​
Isipin niyo... Mas masarap, Mas mura, at Mas mababa ang calorie content per gram.
San ka pa?
Kung ang sagot mo ay "Sa pandesal sa may kanto". Di kita pinipigilan o pipigilan na bumili dun pero pwede mo pa rin naman subukan itong custarts kahit minsan lang kasi for sure wala nito sa bakery sa may kanto niyo.
​
The usual disclaimer: I know taste is subjective so what better way to approve/disapprove of my statement above than to just try it, right? This became my favorite food ever since I made it. If you try it and think that there are a whole lot of products that are better than these, then that's totally fine.
​
About the business:
I will begin serving the custarts to people this July 2023. You can also follow this post because I will be giving away free samples too! More info below.
The initial phase of the business, which also encompasses the terms of this deal, spans from July to September 2023 only.
The second phase will start on October 2023 and there will be different sets of terms, ways on how to make money, and will be open to more people.
The only thing I can ensure you is that this is the biggest profit share relative to the initial investment that will be offered during the entirety of the business. Meaning that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so use it to your advantage.
​
Terms and Conditions:

1. The total upfront investment is 80k pesos.
   
2. You can choose between receiving your share of earnings at the end of every month for 3 months or just a lump sum at the end of the initial phase of the business.
   
3. You need to have at least 9 square meters (LxW) of space and at least around 6 feet (1.8m) in height to hold around 300 kg+ of used items (electronics, furniture, appliance, clothing, etc.). The space can be enclosed or open but needs to have a roof where the said items will not be stolen, become wet, or become damaged in any way.
   

For context, during the initial phase of the business, the custarts will be made in the small apartment I am renting, thus I need to declutter the said items above to be able to have space to make the custarts.
Apart from the relatively big furniture, the other items are placed in brand-new balikbayan boxes and these will be transported to you on a trucking service.
The said apartment is located in Antipolo, Rizal so please take this into consideration.

1. This deal is a one-time exclusive offer and is valid until June 15, 2023 only.
   
2. This offer can be availed by a person or group of persons (partnership, cooperative, association, or company).
   

Failure to commit to any of the aforementioned terms and conditions, or any breach of the contract, may result in the forfeiture of the agreement and immediate termination of your earning share.
​
About the free taste:
I will be offering free samples of the custarts at the end of June.
The quantity/scale of the free taste will depend on the positive engagement of this post.
I am looking to give away 100 or more pieces of custard tarts.
As such, I will also be posting this on different subs, platforms, groups, etc. so ultimately, the post which has the most positive engagement would also receive the most free samples.
​
Bonus:
If you are able to refer this offer to a prospect and we settle for the deal, you are entitled to receive 2,000 pesos when I get the upfront payment.
You have the option to use the money to relieve your immediate needs, to use it for your wants, or to re-invest some or all of it in this custard tart business to ultimately get more money.

I don't understand careerism regarding capitalism. Why should a job define our personality? Or to impress others? Why is one job better or worse than another?
Here is an example "I am a CEO" "I am a film producer" " I am a lawyer" "I am a doctor" "I am an engineer, "work in finance"
All of those things are acknowledged as good. If you went on a date with a girl, you can tell her oh I do this. And it will be a good thing
Versus
"I work at a hotel" "I work at a grocery store" I work on a farm" "I am a truck driver" "I am a construction worker" "I am a janitor" " I am a fast food worker" "I am a fifth grade teacher" "I am a bus driver" "I am a taxi driver"., "I am a therapist"
Isn't all work equally meaningful?

I've lived in my current apartment for just under a year. In this short time frame I have had countless break-ins with people using keys toy apartment that I believe the manager gave to them. Sometimes they return the things they steal and other times they just take my better quality stuff and leave their cheap crap behind for me. I am scared to be here but scared to leave.
What makes it worse is I think they stole my car as well. Someone came in and took my keys while I was sleeping in a locked apartment. I have full coverage insurance on my vehicle though so I called and asked for a tow and for it to be re-keyed as well. The tow truck driver I am sure had to damage my car somewhat getting it out of my parking space and towed it to a repair shop in the neighborhood.
I later found out that the repair shop no longer had my car and they were taking it farther away. Now it is in a third repaired shop for some reason for a collision that I did not have. The insurance company isn't telling me much at this point but I am so fed up with this place.
As if my car, the break-ins and the harassment that me and my friends endure wasn't enough I was sexually assaulted again with some sort of weapon while I was sleeping by my front door because my landlord refused to give me new locks and keys after the theft if my keys causing my car to be towed away. It feels like someone stuck a knife inside of me and cut me. I am in fear for my life at this point as these crimistic asshole torment me. I did nothing to them other than move in. I've not stolen anything, I've not retailed in any way and all they have gotten from me is fear, shacking and tears that seem never ending at times. What gives them the right to come into my home that I pay rent for and assault me with a weapon inside of me? Who in the hell do these people think they are?
I am on housing and even have a housing navigator that is helping me right now. She made a few that's today and now I have fresh locks on my door so I can sleep soundly for now right? How long until someone is given or steals that key from the office and assaults me again? I want fines and scantions placed upon this property in Washington County Oregon at the Rock Creek 185 apartment complex for all their illegal actions. Do not move here is it not safe. I have 30 days to pack up the items that I have left and move to a new apartment complex where hopefully the people there will be more kind.
To make matters worse this slim of a complex (in my humble opinion) needs to be condemned because of their behavior wasn't enough for that with their three duck ponds and amenities that sound nice there are wolves, not Coyote's, in the neighborhood every night because these dumb fucks of people thought they could tame them and feed them. The wolves come into the buildings and break door ways and people just disappear. I am afraid that I am going to be one of those people here soon because all the have to do is wait for me to go to sleep and then open my door ever so slightly for them to come into my home and kill me and my beloved cat. I think they did this in another building but I am unsure.
People here just seems to disappear every so often. No moving trucks or pickups with loads to move just gone as they pile trash and furniture by the dumpsters. DO NOT MOVE TO ROCK CREEK 185 in Portland Oregon off of 185th and Rock Creek Blvd unless you like to be terrorized. It seems beautiful here but it is not worth the risk. Almost all of my clothing is gone. I have almost nothing left to wear. My smart television destroyed to where I can ot ever get a single television station any more due to illegal hacking and pure asshole behaviors. My cat needs to see a vet and have her fur shaved off because they put something in her fur and knotted it up. My mental health is deteriorating as well. It seems like it's impossible for this to be real but it is and it is happening in the United States of America Portland Oregon area.
The doctor said that the damage to my vagina and cervix might be permanent from the sexual assault that I had and I cannot help but wonder that if so eone would not have stolen my keys or if the manager Alicia would have rekeyed my locks maybe this heinous act and sexual assault would not have happened in the first place. I am distraught. I don't know what to do. I have police reports filed with the Washington County Sheriff's office that my police report numbers have been stolen from me. They even had the nerve to reach into my purse while I was sleeping in a fully locked apartment and take over 100.00 of my social security money that was to pay my car insurance. I can not believe these people. They even steal my food and yet I see packages that are delivered outside of their doors. Clearly they are not so desperate that they have to steal from me, a person in poverty, so they can eat when they order temu and Amazon items regularly.
I am disabled with mental health conditions. I am schizoaffective which is schizophrenia without paranoia and a mood disorder as bipolar type 1 among other things and I had a psychotic episode a few months back that was non violent. Really just me talking to myself with the angles demons and aliens and the treatment that I have received since then is so outrageous that I dare say it is a hate crime against people with my disability. I cannot even check my mail right now because they stole my key to the mail box as well.
I have one complex in mind for where I may be able to move but if they do not have an opening I still have to move. I ask is there anyone in Washington county Oregon area that knows if a nice complex where this sort of shit won't occur that has a one bedroom with washer and dryer in it that is in a safe area? I cannot live in Beaverton, to much trauma there so looking at the Washington County Portland area to the better part of Hillsboro and Tansbourne. If you have suggestions for little gems of complexes in the area please let me know so I can look into it.
Thankyou for your time and allowinge to rant about this Injustice in this what seems to be a lawless state in desperation. Any feedback would be appreciated immensely.

I'm thinking of going to another company, but I'm curious what's going to happen after I give my 2 weeks. Will I be told to head in right away? Will I be able to drive for the next two weeks? Can I go home and drop all my stuff off before dropping off the truck? Does the company pay for you to get home? How are you transported home? I have weights, food, clothes, cooking equipment, microwave, tv, tablet, medication, and most importantly a disabled 11 year old dog, so it's extremely important for me to be able to drop these off home before I drop the truck off. My company has two main yards, one in Portland, OR, another in Montana, and a third yard that's less functional in south Cal, and I live about a thousand miles from the two main yards, so you can probably see my concern since I can't exactly take an Uber home.
I'm also interested in truckers experiences in being fired and if it's the same exit as leaving voluntary/giving your two weeks?

What should I do in this situation? Me (25M) and my ex (24m) met 9 months ago. She told me she had some medical issue that made it hard for her to get pregnant and said she took birth control just in case. Two months into our relationship she got pregnant and I heard her talking to her friend after the fact about how she ran out of birth control pills and wasn’t taking it but when I confronted her that I overheard there phone call she denied it.
The next few months, it went from a great relationship to a terrible one but I wanted to stay because I believed possibly it was just pregnancy hormones. She lost her job before getting pregnant for showing up late too many times and calling out too much. During this time where she didn’t work, I supported her 100% financially. I paid her bills, she lived with me for free and I bought everything for her including all her food. I sent her over $800 in venmo to keep her bills from going to collections. I would buy her literally anything she wanted from any restaurant because I wanted to make her feel as comfortable as possible during her pregnancy.
Despite everything I did, she started treating me so bad. The only way she would answer the phone is by saying “what” in an annoyed tone. When I got home she wouldn’t acknowledge me besides saying hey while not even looking at me and then ignoring me and staying on her phone. She’d never hug or kiss me when I got home until I asked her to at which point she complained that I was blocking her TV when I kissed her. Got annoyed if I called her when she was in the car because that was her time to listen to music. When I tried to put my arm on her in bed she’d grab it very hard and throw my arm off of her. I would call her at work to see how she is feeling since she was having a tough pregnancy and she’d constantly get mad at me saying “I’m fine if I wasn’t I’d tell you, you don’t need to call me.” It was like I was living with someone who hated me.
I let all this go because I figured it was hormones but I asked her to try and be more respectful and not disrespect me so much. She would blow up when I said this saying “I am controlling how she speaks to me” and that “I’m making her feel like a shit GF.” I tried to tell her that’s not it at all but the way she is acting is hurting me because I’m trying to do so much for her and it’s like she hates me.
Anyways, it got to the point where she had done a lot of suspicious stuff to make me think maybe she is cheating. She changed her phone passcode, randomly started staying an hour late at work almost every day after never staying late. Her ex who she broke up with on good terms messaged her to get some stuff his now dead mom gave him and she says she never responded then a month later when I asked why he wouldn’t follow up with you about that if his mom gave it to him she’s like “idk he just never texted back.” One day I got home from work and her mouth tasted like this blowjob spray she has then when I pointed it out claimed she had just put it on for me even though we never have sex right after work as I sweat all day and when I went looking for the spray it was at the bottom of her purse underneath a lot of other things. Didn’t look like she just sprayed it. Finally the last straw was when I found in my bedside table this nipple flavored stuff that she never used with me and I never knew about and it was opened. She claims it was in her purse and she put it there and forgot about it. To add to all of this I found out she had 6 one night stands on tinder in the few months before we met.
Anyways after this I lost it. I let my anger get the best of me and called her a hoe and told her maybe we should go our own ways. She came with her parents when I wasn’t home the next day with a u-haul truck and moved out and has since blocked me on everything and won’t respond to me to even tell me how my unborn son is doing if it even is mine. Now she is going around spreading lies to her parents because she think it will make them feel bad for her for being a single mom and now living with them.
This whole situation sucks. I don’t know what I’m looking for anyone to say. Maybe someone to just give me their opinion on the whole situation. I feel isolated from everything. I used to like her family but they have been so mean to me even when I tried to explain what happened saying “well you should just trust her and not have said that” even after I apologized and said my anger got the best of me in that comment.” Any words of advice would be appreciated on how I should move forward at this point. I don’t want her back but I want to at least be on good terms but now I will miss the birth of my child because she won’t let me go and says now she feels “unsafe” with me being around them. I feel like her hormones made her go crazy. I used to love her with all my heart but this whole situation keeps me up at night.

Day whatever, and still no garbage collected. My bins are full and the food we had to throw is starting to smell like death. Watched GSWA at Liguan park, where dumping is out of control. If I had a truck, I would haul my bins to Harmon transfer station.

What is the most unique food truck you've ever tried and why was it memorable?

Species: canine, Age: 7, Sex/neuter status: male, neutered, Breed: shih tzu poodle mix, Body weight: 7kg, General area: Raleigh, NC, History/clinical signs/duration: overall healthy dog that began exhibiting odd behavior about 1 month ago which included: accidents in the house, circling, loss of appetite. Once he had nasal discharge approximately two weeks ago, he was taken to the vet and they said he had a fever and was given antibiotics for the nasal discharge. He refused to eat and wouldn’t take the oral antibiotic pills. He was hand-fed water and continued to refuse to eat or take the antibiotics. On 5/29 he had two seizures that didn’t last long and went to the emergency vet. His labs and blood pressure were normal, but his fever was over 103F and he showed dull mentation. Initially, an MRI was suggested to rule out a brain tumor, etc., but due to risk vs. benefit vs. cost, we discussed a plan of care to forego the MRI and attempt to treat other differential diagnoses. Additionally, it doesn’t seem like there’s a place that can do a CSF test without also doing the MRI. He received IV fluids, doxycycline inj, Clindamycin capsules, dexamethasone inj, and keppra while he was there. He stayed overnight in the ER, the fever resolved and he didn’t have any more seizures. He was discharged to our care the following day. His at home care includes entice 30mg/mL and receives 0.7mL every 24hrs, doxycycline 50mg every 12 hrs, Clindamycin 75mg every 12 hrs, prednisone 5mg every 12 hours and keppra 250mg every 12 hours. Since 5/30 he got slightly better for about a day, but then his circling continued, he had accidents, would whimper at times in pain, lose his balance and still isn’t getting any better. He barely wants to eat, but does eat a little bit of cat food and has been taking his pills. Today, we took him to his regular Vet for follow up and found out that he has a fever over 103F despite being on antibiotics for one week. We were given gabapentin to help with his pain. I thought it might be meningitis/meningoencephalitis, but it would seem like the medication he is on would potentially treat that (I’m not 100% sure though). Any ideas on what could be causing this? Thank you so much for any guidance, tips, suggestions you can provide. 🙏
