Frankie came by again, begging for more food. I gave him beans and rice, and told him to apply for welfare, because I can't be buying him groceries. He's got food enough until Monday, and then he can hit the public services designed to help him out. He didn't sound too interested, but he's been told that he's gotten his last handout from me. He claims "It's just until he gets a job next week" but he now realizes that I won't be providing meals for him until he finds a job just because he can't be bothered to get stuff the proper way. His legs aren't broken. I know how the system works, and he's perfectly able to get care in a speedy manner if he wants it.

He really peeved me this evening, because my perception of him isn't one of need, but of laziness. I'm a soft touch, but he's gone as far as he can with my sense of charity.

Yup, he brought the pan back as part of his excuse to get more food, I think. I feel that if he didn't want anything else, he'd not have come by with it so soon, if at all.

What a difficult situation to be placed - but you did the right thing.

I've got a fresh post brewing about him too.

Yeah, somehow, I didn't think it was completely "over".....*sigh*
