Packed with humor and heart, JumpStart is a modern comic strip with a classic feel. At the core of the JumpStart family is Joe Cobb, a big-city cop, and his wife, Marcy, a nurse in a bustling Philadelphia hospital. Their jobs are easy compared to the challenge of raising four kids. At the end of the day, Joe and Marcy want what we all want: a good night's sleep. Their oldest, Sunny, is an avid reader who can answer your questions before you have time to do a Google search. Her brother, Jojo (aka Joseph Cobb, Jr.), has aspirations of being president. In fact, he already is president — of his second-grade class. Joe and Marcy's newest surprise additions are the twins, Tommi and Teddy. This talkative pair began conversing in the womb and are still going strong. Imagine what they'll say when they actually learn to speak! Rounding out the cast is Crunchy, a grouchy but warm-hearted police officer who is Joe's partner, and a host of extended family members and friends. You'll enjoy the wit and wisdom of this colorful, unpredictable cast, which includes the antics of in-laws, co-workers, a 6-year-old doctor, and a texting dog named Snoog-A-Boo.

Wouldn’t surprise me anymore if they did that.

There is now actually a device that allows people to accept debit/credit cards on a smart phone.

And thanks to ‘pay as you go’ plans and refurbished phones being donated, having homeless with smartphones isn’t actually that crazy (or that insulting). And if he has a PayPal account, can even take cards that way.

Well, that just hit the nail on the head….begging for money from someone else, yet will buy a smartphone. We’re doomed.

If you’re looking for a job, having a phone is imperative – especially if you don’t have a home address.

Some people fall very far very fast. Have a house and SUV and iphone the next they are on the street.

All you need is Square. My sister-in-law started using it at craft shows and has been selling about three times as much stuff if not more because she can now take cards.

Why must you judge? walk on some poor people’s shoes before criticizing them, I wish you the best for the rest of your life! (and yes he must also be one of the 47 % that don’t pay taxes) so just leave him alone!

I did see a homeless person once who had a smartphone. I still gave him money, I figure if you’re at a point where you’d spend time on the street begging for money (probably not getting that much out of all that time spent begging), your situation must be pretty bad no matter how you look at it. Either way, it’s not like you’re losing your life savings to them.
