What is the purpose of RunPee.com?
RunPee.com’s purpose: to help you enjoy your movie going experience and relieve your bladder at the same time:

* Every movie has a few scenes in there somewhere that aren’t crucial to the plot.
* Every movie has a few minutes you can miss and not be lost when you sit back down.
* No more guessing when to run and pee!

She said she was cold and hungry and didn’t know were to go. She asked for some food.
This is where my Melodie and I realized we were not prepared for our guest.

    Our spur of the moment homeless guest kit ended up including these things:
  1. One blanket for her to wrap around her for warmth.
  2. One sleeve of Ritz crackers.
  3. One hot cup of tea with milk, no sugar (her choice on the sugar).
  4. One phone book where we could find organizations prepared to help.

What do you have in your Homeless Visitor Emergency Kit? I think Melodie and I will update our kit.

What I learned from the email exchange: A drawing of a spider does not have the same value for everyone.
