Conflicting feelings about this Christmas season

But this year feels different. Don't get me wrong, I think that opportunities will abound now more than ever. I could probably bang a different hot stripper OTC every night between now and the 24th. But I feel more conflicted than I did in years past. Our family is heavily involved in the local charitable scene and the food banks and toy drives we work with are getting hit harder now than ever before. I'm sure that some of what we do even ultimately makes it into the hands of our local strippers and their children.
I guess what I am really questioning is whether I should indulge like I have in past years when that money could go to such good use elsewhere. It somehow doesn't feel right to drop large sums of money over the coming days just to get my dick wet when there are so many people struggling through no fault of their own. Idk - maybe I need to rethink my priorities this year.
Of course, by tomorrow I could easily shake off this conflicted feeling and go back to what I normally do. But for today at least, I'm perhaps feeling a little guilty. IDK.

With as much ridiculous shit as some of us do, anyone who doesn't question himself every once in a while has to be either a sociopath or willfully ignorant.
But fortunately I usually shake these self reflective moments off pretty quickly. ;)
After all, with COVID cases spiking here in FL, the odds are good that many of these girls are not having a monster weekend. We even got into one of our favorite restaurants last night without a long wait, which is unheard of around here for a Friday night. By Monday I suspect that pickins should be real good, lol.
LOL Mr. Anderson. I have read this fable before. But unlike the miserly ants, if the starving cricket came to my door looking for food, as a good Christian I would be obligated to help him if I could.
It is just absurd for any self-respecting hairless ape to diss a rick. If anything they should be posting world like “think you dugan, you are the smartest hairless ape on the planet and we appreciate your contributions”
Just remember that it is now firmly established that the Latinalover character is simply a persona invented by a female zebra. Remember that trolling is in frickin’ zebra DNA. Same gene that controls the striped phenotype controls the frickin’ troll phenotype.
Also remember that it is one thing to give charity to a starving cricket and it is something totally different to feed a zebra. Something like 80% of all internet trolls are frickin’ zebras. Starving zebra shows up on your porch you best call me so I can visit and go wildebeest on that zebra’s ass. ROAR!!!
Perfect kingmelvis. Just the type of emotional rationalization that I needed. It really would be selfish of me to redirect my charitable stripper giving this year - they need the help as much as anyone. And if I happen to benefit a little in return it's a win-win. 😉
Who knows, maybe she'll donate some of my generosity towards her own choice of charity and now my money's getting double the mileage ;)
NAAAASTY
Have fun unwrapping.
That's why the Dugan family only gives to smaller direct impact charities run by local religious organizations. I really hate those large institutional charities that spend 50+% of their revenue on administrative costs. The food banks, toy drives and other good works that we are involved with are generally run out of local churches and use volunteers to deliver goods and services, so almost 100% of our money goes directly to the people who need it the most.
As far as strippers giving their hard earned money to tax deductible charities, ah...surrrre...yeaaah...okkkkk...I'll get on board with that. Anything's possible, right? ;)
Split the difference and call it a day
Let’s all help someone!
Cheers!!
I just. For our part, our spending for Christmas this year is way down. We would otherwise have bought Autotrain tickets to Florida, paid for a house rental for a week, and had gas expenses plus a nights hotel returning. We have redirected most of that to various charities this year.
Support your local food bank instead, and just tip generously to waitresses or drivers, or give to friends on COVID furlough/unemployment.
That said, while I wouldn't quite call spending on strippers as charity, it is "shopping locally" which is something can really help local communities. Your contribution to strippers will likely end up in the hands of local children, maybe hers, or maybe her drug dealers or boyfriends. Maybe they'll even eat out at a local restaurant, supporting more local children. As ATAC pointed out, a lot of Florida tourism isn't happening this year, spending locally is a good way to help those families in your community on the edge from falling into homelessness or going hungry.
In all seriousness, I think its good for people who've had limited impact from the pandemic to try and help those around them who have. At the same time, I've worked hard to get where I am and I'm not going to feel guilty about taking some time to enjoy my self now and again.
