[quote="pj"]I do volunteer work at a nursing home for an hour a week with a bunch of the guys and play cards with them, it's listed as the "Men's Group" on the activity sheet for the nursing home, and I do all the dealing and putting in the poker chips for some of the guys that can't, and at the end of the hour I dish out $2 to the winner and usually find 3 others who came in second and give out $1 to each of them.

That is a fine thing you are doing PJ... the elderly do not get the respect they used to. I was raised to respect them... & I see the way they treated my G-pa in the "care center" he laid in for 5 years... if it was not for my grandma coming in every day, he would have died much sooner. He was a vet too. Makes me really sad... I would like to think there is a special place in HELL for the people who mistreat old folks... next to the child abusers. Keep up the GREAT work... that is appreciated more than you probably know. Scooter
