    Yeah, but he seems to have enjoyed the experience. Building memories is what I call it.

    I didn't get played at all. Nobody is getting raped on my watch. I did my duty. She got safely from point A to point B. I can afford to help people when the situation presents itself.

    I think it’s fine. You enjoyed the company and safely helping a young woman. She got the ride she needed.

    Yes, I've posted here once, now twice.

    Memory Chip In Brain Pan sometimes gets corrupted and disassociates some memory bits.
    Anyways, I have 1 more to add.

    Hola Holmes,

    Travelling I-10 West, jumped out at X49, Fabens, TX., to stretch my legs.
    (Good ramp 4 sum zees)

    Walking around the Combo and a young Latina came outta the dark (it was latter P.M.) and asked, after I recovered, if I could give her a ride to the Loves in/near El Paso.
    "Si".
    She spoke some Inglis, enuf to understand.

    The "fun part" was after we were rolling, she said she was being followed (or pursued) yet there was no problemo for the short roll. A coupla cars (60's Chebbies) paced us for a short bit but nothing threatening and neva saw 'em agin'.

    Looking on a current gargle map and the only Loves near El Paso is at the TX/N.M. Line. Maybe that was it, I dunno, Maybe it wasn't a Love's, dusn't matta, it was sometime from 2013-2016.

    CHEERS!!

    maybe you sent her off to get raped. You don’t know what happened after you dropped her off.

    you might not agree but you did get used for a ride and free stuff.

    Sometimes giving out free stuff is good.

    I gave hundreds of dollars of stuff to people over the last week, and today bought flowers for my neighbors.

    giving things away for free to people you know isn’t the issue. This is more of a you paying for the house for your exes new bf/gf to live in for free.

    we can disagree on it it don’t matter, it’s his money I could careless that still doesn’t change the fact he got used.

    For a hundred years women never had to worry
    About being stranded on the side of the road.
    Someone would always help them.

    Then they decided to make money off of men's
    Natural instinct to help them.

    1 or 2 stand by the car at night,hood up ,looking helpless.
    Super trucker pulls over, gonna save the world,
    Looks under the hood, then gets his head smashed in
    By there boyfriends hiding in the bushes.

    I'm not picking up anybody.
