Yep, there are always people outside the Walmart entrances here, usually with signs, looking for money. I usually donate to the local dog shelter. The other thing I found this year was a young lad in the UK. He had cancer, and of all things had a prosthetic femur implanted her in KS. It's at it's full extension, and he needs another. The NHS in the UK have turned him down flat, after misdiagnosing him at the start. They instead want to burn the growth plate in his good leg, and pin it so it won't grow any further. Barbarians. Seriously! So he has been accepted to come back to the hospital here in the US. His surgery to replace the implant is in 2023, so he's getting started raising funds for that. Cool kid, into animals, and has a pet owl, is mad for Richard the Third

It's hard these days to tell if it's someone who really needs help or not. So many ppl around here that are tag teaming areas. They don't want you to bring them food they want money only. I know the man you came across wanted food, but it is hard to tell who really needs it. Some ppl here will say they don't care if they are scammers or not if they want to give money they don't care what the other person does with it. I don't help that way anymore. I try to look for certain things. Like when the Jedi was sick with GBS the hospital he was at has certain spot they ask for donation. I try to find these guys because I know the money does good. A family like ours could be there and the bills rack up fast. This hospital has programs set up to pay a portion or the whole bill. All donations go to this program it's not ran by the state so they need all the help they can get to be able to keep helping.  
 
So my tip for you is to find a church or something that you can go to and pick a family in need to help. Some places had giving trees where you can pick a child/family and help fulfill their wishes. It's a bit late for this Christmas but there are many opportunities in the future. Keep your eyes open and maybe you will find the right moment. 
Oh and 
 
merry Christmas everyone.

Nothing doing here. All the people who live out this way have gone off for the holiday. Quiet in the extreme. Herself and I are spending the day like any other. It is 73° today and more like May than December.
Happy Christmas ranters.

You can bring someone to the US based on a lie.   You can not pass on US citizenship to a child that is not yours.

You are not the biological father.  Submitting a birth certificate listing you as the father is fraud because you know that you are not the father.  This is a material misrepresentation.   
 
CRBA - NOPE
I-130 - NOPE
N600 & N600K - NOPE
 
The reason that no lawyer will touch this is because what you want for the best of intentions is ultimately fraudulent.  

If you ever want to bring the child here, then you need to fix her fraudulent birth certificate and remove yourself as the father.  NEVER EVER SUMBIT A LEGAL DOCUMENT WITH KNOWN LIES TO US IMMIGRATION.  IT IS A LIE THAT YOU ARE THE BIOLOGICAL FATHER ON THAT BIRTH CERTIFICATE.  
 
Sorry.

No more need to speculate

Nothing going  on here. Not bothering with Thanksgiving again this year. Just me and Herself, and one day is pretty much like any other to her.  Christmas...ditto.
 
I am off for a few days new year, I have rented a place on the water in Greer's Ferry. The house is too big for just me and the dog, but there is a fireplace and TV, neither of which we have here. 200 feet of river frontage with swans and geese for her to bark at. 
 
Happy Thanksgiving

Thrilling Tuesday-on-a-Wednesday Hurricane report, see man:
 
Things apparently got pretty bad right when we went to bed at 1 a.m., assume we man.
Power went off exactly at Many a.m., according to stopped clocks man.
We awoke sometime before sunrise, couldn't re-zzz man.
 
Finally gave up and got up sometime around Many (2x2x2+1) a.m., no re-zzz we man.
Called Ex-Mrs.-T-B., surely terrified she man.
She admitted not zzz-ing from Many till Many a.m., we slept through all of it man.
Cousin Mini-B. also pretty rattled, no 'canes in Ecu man.
Mini-B. slept through the whole thing, melatonin'd wee man.
 
Ex-Mrs.-T-B. lost power only twice and briefly, during height of storm man.
Conversely, WE were powerless for Many (2x2x2x2+1) hours, grrrrRRRR man.
Cool/cloudy day, so boring but not too miserable inside casa, for most of day man.
 
We and all neighbors disgusted with power company, less power to us man.
They were so slow that Mini-B.'s skool remains closed today, all others open man.
No lightning, no flooding, no direct hits, but lengthy powerlessness man.
A bird could glance the wrong way at the transmission lines and they'd go out, grrrr man.
Very casual with how much of our life's time they waste, they don't care man.

Probably safest that you keep a respectful distance, si and sign Eh ma'am.

It isn't for lack of people trying. He had a screaming swearing facebook post last night and deleted and blocked a heap of people. I so far, am not one of them. He's just lost his mind. My god, this will  not end well.

I didn't think this sounded normal anywhere! 
 
Grieving people do crazy things. @cdneh, if you're close to this guy, be ready to catch him when he falls. He will. This is so sad.  

Filipina here. Apart from all the red flags in your friend's situation, the 12 year old daughter also wearing an engagement ring just sounds so skeevy. That's not normal in the Philippines and just looks and sounds so wrong. Yuck.

Oh what a hot mess. 
Sit back and watch the show. 

Yikes. A friend of ours has just announced his engagement. His wife died April first this year.  He drives long haul trucks, and now and then he stops by the local truck stop for lunch.
 
In July, so three months after his wife died, he told me he had a girlfriend. Showed me a picture of her, taken at his wife's funeral, and in it the new girlfriend and he are holding hands. At the funeral. They all went to high school together. Dug the engagement ring he had bought out of his pocket to get my opinion.  I figured he knew what he was about, congratulated him and wished them well.
 
Last night on FB, he announced his engagement. To an entirely different woman. This one is from the Philippines, and has a 12 hear old daughter. He has known her three weeks,  only one week before he proposed. Both the fiancee and the daughter are wearing engagement rings.
 
She arrived here on a K1, has a two year green card, filed VAWA as yet undecided, and is just recently divorced.
 
She is 32 years younger than he is, and really quite beautiful. Mike is, well, let's just say he won't be winning any GQ awards for sartorial splendor. He is short, chubby, bordering on obese.
 
Now it is just me, or has my friend totally lost his ever loving mind?
