   whaqy I won't/don't.   
      
     Pretty much the same with me.

   don't take it -- except for unidentifiable cash-only (e.g. $20 bill on the   
   ground); I call those gifts from the universe. . .   
      
     Ditto.   
     On campus I often find coins and bills here and there.    
     When I find a bill I'll look around to see if anyone is looking for it or   
   in the area.  If not its in my pocket and "out of circulation" as I joke.   
     I'll often find mechanical pencils people have dropped.  Sometimes they   
   are perfectly good and use them either as intended or as a stylus for the   
   small touch screen on the ticket writer.     
     I've found metal forks and spoons and use the handle as a "unjammer" for   
   the coin slots on meters.     
     If something of value is found its turned in.  I'll check a wallet for ID   
   and return to the person if I know them or know of them.  Usually any money   
   and cards are gone.   
     I find keys often.  And have lost keys as well, usually never to be seen   
   again.

     LOL   
       
   > Food sensitivities are no minor thing.   
      
     I don't think I have any sensitivity to any food.  (Well, liver which we   
   discussed).   
     But as I get older there are some foods I avoid now which don't agree   
   with me any longer, or in the amount it used to.  :)     
      
   > My courtesy cousin    
      
     A what?   
      
   > I'm odd, like my dad -- we're of the philosophy that it doesn't matter if   
   you just ate "that" earlier or yesterday, if you like it -- I can eat   
   something I like every day, if I were so inclined, or it came up that way. . .   
      
     I'll fix a roast or ham or the like and eat on that for days and days   
   till its finally gone.   
     I am not one to waste food.  Except for liver. I'll toss that out every   
   chance I get.  :)   
     When I was young I was told to eat everything, "There are starving   
   children in Germany, Japan and Korea who would love to have that."   
     When my mother was in the home (which she loved) one day she picking   
   around at her lunch, pushed it away and said she didn't want it.   
     Roles sometimes reverse as children and parents age and I causally said   
   "think of the poor starving children in (then) Ethiopia who wold love to have   
   that".   
      She gave me "the look" and said "Then pack it up and send it to 'em!"   
   LOL
