Hey, one doesn't have to become a hobo to use these signs lol we teach them to our village scouts and to the children on our school survival camps :)

We also teach them how to use a 'straining pole' LOL

Happy Tuesday dear you....

I dunno, I'm still undecided...

Sure, there's the glamour and all - I just don't know if I can work it into my schedule.

I am so going to be looking for these signs all over now.

I should go check my mailbox. I bet I have a good food but crazy lady sign. Is that on there? :)

I wonder what mine might be... I would like to think it would be one that would tell them I am compassionate in some way.

This is a very old practice. Not this elaborate of course, but during the depression the people that had to rely on help from strangers would make a mark somewhere on the fence or whatever to show them that that house would help them. I wouldn't be surprised if it went back further, I am just too lazy to research it this morning.
