Beggar
BEGGAR, n. One who has relied on the assistance of his friends.
in 09 why should a miser be in doubt? I wish I were. It would save all the guilt and worries about a future when I might not be a miser but a homeless person with a house
BEGGARn. in Hawaii, that would be the minimum wager worker with less than three full-time jobs, and a part-time job (to support him in his canvas and cardboard shack on the beach).
did not see a paypal box to check for a donation,glad to know you have not had to resort to e-panhandling...Once i and two others begged/pleaded for funds to bail a bro out of jail,raised over 300 hundred dollars in a few short hours(until i was arrested),we were able to bail out the bro,and two strangers..as for me,the judge knew me and released me(did have to serve a week-end of my choice)Peace ,thank-you for the memory!!!

Little girls used to chant this to learn what type of man they would marry.
"Rich man, poor man,
Beggar man, thief.
Doctor, lawyer,
Indian chief!"
Now they wisely say, "a woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle," saving big bucks on divorce and stuff.

Ha, Jim;
Looking into Willie's eyes,
Proves the maker kind and wise,
So precisely proportionalized
Wide as the moon, appetite the same size,
Poobah, such a thin line and such a wide gap.
Dang, Amoeba.
Jenn, may you get no more advice than you need. It looks good, though.
Pia, that was Biercean. You've got a home on this site.
Good luck in February, JJ.
Ariel, are you a fairy now, too?
Great line, Terry.
Quilly, begging sounds more efficient.
And unto you, Ariel.
Oh, come on Jenn. Mightn't it pay for itself in booksales?
Right, TLP, and countless vacuum bags.
Amoeba, I'll even put something in it.
Oh, ok, Ice.
Funny, Terry!
JD, $5 Billion do ya?
Ariel, it means already been allocated for spending.
Bear, I have almost the same story. We must have run with similar people.
Non-chooser.
