Back in the 80's I'd walk into a gas station and almost always have at least one or more of the downtown street kids ask me for change when I left.

At PS, there is an option to block observer chat; I usually just shut them out. Unless it's an icon I know has some really nice cleavage, or it's Mischman.

My choice is "Other".
I tell them that "Helen" can loan them some money and to go see "Helen". Her last name is "Waite". I tell them to go to "Helen Waite".

one thing that seems consistent when we have a cc tourney at stars is the railbirds panhandling. it seems that every game we play there is at least one person asking for us to send some money to them.what is the best way to respond to these requests? how do you handle it?
