This really makes you wonder about mankind. There is a fellow out here that lives in Lolo in an old trailer house. He is mentally challenged, but everyone here knows him and takes care of him and his needs, and sort of watches out for him. His one passion is cutting firewood.........loves chainsaws and everyone who has one, has had "Charlie" fix it for them........and he has this old trailer that he sets up in a shopping center parking lot and keeps it filled with firewood for people to buy.


He has a coffee can on the hitch that people can put money in to pay for whatever they may help themselves to. Most folks here take a log or two and put in 5 bucks or so. He comes by everyday, on his bicycle, and collects the money, and has a friend who has a truck help him refill the trailer with wood.

The other day he comes by and his trailer is empty of wood, and so is the coffee can empty of money. Word gets out that Charlie is in need and lo and behold his trailer is filled with firewood, and he opens the coffee can to find $3,000 in it.

I'm not sure who all helped out, but I know my chainsaw needs a good cleaning. So does Mike's; Luke's; Sean's......................!

Hats off to those that came to his aid.. that is the type of attitude that seems lost on this country overall.

Gotta love those tight-knit communities.

You'd think that some things are nearly sacred. A little "business" like that would be one of them.

It takes a village. *duck*

Great story. It's really heartening to hear the community come to his aid.

That's awesome you all took care of him.

Blessed is he to live in a small town. The higher the population, the less people care about other people. That's just an observation I've had that generally holds true.

You'll see in small towns, folks take care of each other. In big cities, only a small minority give a damn about their fellow man.

Stuff like this makes me want to live in Lolo. The thing is, $10 says the a-hole who stole the $ from the can was an outsider.

The Monsignor references the case of Kitty Genovese, a famous example of the bystander effect (1:10):

Enjoyed that movie Nonstop. Now I get the reference.

Yes, evil happens, because good people are often indifferent to it. Good speech.

Something like that is very uplifting! There ARE good people out there. It's unfortunate that this kind of story is not the norm, as it SHOULD be.

Look how so many of you rallied around me when i went through my surgery last year. I don't think you know how much that meant (and STILL means) to me! Every time i use my Wii, i think of how generous and loving the people were on this site.
So i have first hand accounts that there are wonderful, caring people still in this world! And am proud to call you my friends!!!

beast (34m) : Wow, 95% drop in investment revenue? Would be interesting to hear the details of why...
dfosterf (25-Jul) : It's my one day deal complaint dept. on shareholder meeting day
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Probably a homer access credential intimidation kinda thing
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Any plans to hold Maureen Smith (CFO) accountable for a 95% drop in investment revenue?
Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : In your face, HBO!
Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @ByRyanWood Mark Murphy: “A great source of pride of mine is that we were never on Hard Knocks.”
Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : *years
Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @mattschneidman Mark Murphy says he anticipates “many Packers games” being played in Germany, Ireland and/or the U.K. over the next 5-10 yea
dfosterf (25-Jul) : *cafeteria* I have hit my head also, so I sympathize
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Possibly hit his head leaning into the glass protecting the food in the cafateria
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Maybe a low flying drone
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Did Savion Williams run into a goalpost or something?
Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career
Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim
Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @AndyHermanNFL Jordy Nelson out at camp today. No word if he’s in play for one of the two open roster spots ; )
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?
Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Savion concussion ... not good.
packerfanoutwest (24-Jul) : Aaron Rodgers’s first pass of first team period was picked off
Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : tbh I didn't hear of his passing
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Cosby Show. Malcom Jamal Warner I think is real name
Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : I was thinking of Ozzy and Hulk
Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Who's Theo?
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : How is Theo alliteration?
Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Bad week for people whose names are alliterations
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hulk Hogan gone too.
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Oh, it's toe injury
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hope it's not serious. that would stink
dfosterf (24-Jul) : Sounds like an ankle not a knee for Fields
dfosterf (24-Jul) : Ya Flaccp on Browns
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Maybe Tyrod Taylor instead
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : He's on Browns, right?
dfosterf (24-Jul) : They would probably go with Flacco is my guess if Fields out
dfosterf (24-Jul) : Fleece 'em again!
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Malik Willis might be someone Jets come after
packerfanoutwest (24-Jul) : Packers introduce 1923-inspired classic uniform, leather-look helmet

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Happy to see site feels more snappy snappy
Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : No sir. I did not.
dfosterf (23-Jul) : You didn't get free childcare when you were at work?
wpr (23-Jul) : These guys make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Pay for their own childcare.
dfosterf (23-Jul) : 2nd issue. Number 1 issue was no gameday childcare. 1 of 3 teams not providing it
Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Suppose if locker room is main issue, we sitting pretty
wpr (23-Jul) : I thought so Mucky. In those useless player polls GB always rates high overall. Locker is a part of it.
Mucky Tundra (23-Jul) : Wasn't the locker room just updated like 6 or 7 years ago?
Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : I have forum updated on different site. We'll see how this one goes before going to that
Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Elgton Jenkins has a back injury, is expect to end contract dispute
wpr (23-Jul) : It's funny the PA complained about the locker room. It wasn't that long ago it was top shelf. Things change in a hurry.
wpr (23-Jul) : The site is much more better.
