In short I do but I don't wear my heart on my sleeve and present it as
a badge of honor. I'm also partially disabled with Parkinson's and
Crohn's diseases and am four weeks out of the hospital after having a
foot of my colon removed. Like you I rebuild and restore old computers,
but mostly give them to the really poor kids to give them a vision of
the worlds that they can aspire to. I also repair surplus geiger
counters and donate them to the local fire departments, now that Civil
Defense trashed them and sold them at auction. I've also been known to
donate to the DAV each time they ask, and was an active participant in
our local Civil Defense emergency communications group until that was
also disbanded (practically on the eve of when it is most needed). As a
Mason, most of my cash contributions go to the Masonic Homes,
children's hospitals, and other worthy causes (unfortunately these
contributions are now limited to my fixed income from Social Security
and my Raytheon pension, plus what little I earn on eBay.

So wish me well on my eBay sales, because the little that I earn from
that source goes into worthy causes, not on lavish vacations in Vegas
or the Islands!
