Attention Panhandlers...
Still there Barbee. Hard to tell which Springfield has the most of, panhandlers or help wanted signs.
so true! people need to take control of their destiny if possible. yes there are people with mental problems, and those that have catistrauphic issues from war. my dad went thru 4 yrs of WW11 and 1 of Koreau. I remember being 7 yrs old and him walking the floor ALL night, night after night. they didn't call it back then anything fancy. I recall my mother explaining to me that my dad was ill, and the doc told her IF he went completely off he would kill those he loved the most, his family. a lot for a yr old to have to deal with.
she told him HE had to pull himself together, HE had a child that needed him, HE was the one and the only one that could control it.
back then, in the early sixties, elctro shock treatment was the "cure". he endured it. it snapped him out of it all, and almost killed him in the process.
he worked, raised his family, but after 20 odd years in Marine aviation, he could never step foot on another plane....
