1. You did some good things there

and hopefully it will be repaid with future acts of kindness. I subscribe to the theory "do what you can, where you can". We would all be better off if folks did so.

Yesterday I watched the ambulance take away the special needs teenager from next door (she had a seizure) called the Dad and offered to take the two younger boys in or come over and watch them. He declined as they would all be heading to the hospital together, but he knew someone was there to assist if needed.

As mentioned in previous responses to your threads on trucking, before retirement, I was a Receiver at a local grocery chain. So I know a bit of what you speak (certainly not all, but some). You have one of the more difficult jobs out there that requires great skill, patience and has a great degree of challenges. Hopefully they will get some more help soon and you can cut back from the workload.
