There is a fine line between helping and hindering. That is why I keep coming back.<br /><br />♥namaste♥Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16128247878961221421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16472085.post-15686493922708409802010-04-07T09:33:54.139-06:002010-04-07T09:33:54.139-06:00I too became a fan of public transportation.

While I am grateful to provide for her what I can, I admit I questioned what effect this would have on her. This is actually none of my business. She phoned and asked. I have nothing preventing me from doing so. And I get to be of service, fellowship, and pick her brain a little about "what happened". All insurance for me which after my close call yesterday, is a welcome thing!Juliannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11226443193177440769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16472085.post-54081735416591203332010-04-07T09:05:29.421-06:002010-04-07T09:05:29.421-06:00We've got the same kind of hardy tulips in Chi...We've got the same kind of hardy tulips in Chicago.

...Oh, Mary say it ain't so! The snow I mean! <br />Yes! If I know that someone is within walking distance or a bus ride to a meeting, I suggest that is how they get there. If the meeting ends after dark,I will offer a ride home. I have been called mean and cruel for this. I was willing to crawl to meetings, and I still am!

The Metro in DC is a good example. I also used the trolley in Denver. Here, the buses are not reliable and there is no subway. I used to bike when I lived closer to work. It was great.Sydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05642843245634635843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16472085.post-7247288877697765702010-04-07T08:04:48.914-06:002010-04-07T08:04:48.914-06:00I love to see people come to AA meetings via publi...I love to see people come to AA meetings via public transportation. It tells me something about their character.<br /><br />I also love to see people come to AA meetings in vintage and classic cars. It tells me something about their obsessions.
