I'm sorry Steve. Some guys get all the breaks, or so they say. Personally, I'd like to meet those guys. Then take their stuff. :DL

You keep a remarkably even keel through the whole thing, and I find that to be the trait that I most admire in you.

I have to hand it to you Steve, your positive outlook is much to be admired - damn, I get almost suicidal when we have to leave a note on the door explaining why we can't pay the rent in full that month! Keep that attitude mate - I hope it all works out for you soon, I'm sure it will.

@Reece My extreme sympathies to you and your family. Mother's are always the tops and to lose one's own is a hell of a blow.

Part of not having an official residence is the problem of recieving mail. So I go to the post office to rent a PO box, and find out they have a new policy, and a new application to fill out.

Two forms of ID are required (nothing new there).

1) Picture ID. Driver's license. Check.

2) Passport, Visa or Green Card. I'm a US citizen, so I don't have any of those.

3) Proof of homeowner's insurance. Nope, don't own a home, or I wouldn't be homeless.

4) Proof of car insurance. Nope, don't own a car.

That's about it. Curiously, they won't take a Social Security card as a form of ID, and I don't have a copy of my birth certificate.
Is it me or does this sound like discrimination? It seems they want to know where you live and if you cant prove it then your SOL. Isn't the whole reason of getting a PO box is because you need a common place for mail to arrive? That sucks...

Not to hijack thread but thanks guys, she was 82 and suffered much, all she wanted was to die so it was really a good thing! I'll miss her though:cry::oops::yep:
Back on track:
You are going through a genuine hard time at the moment Steve, please keep us informed! Hope your luck changes from bad to good very soon!:yep:

Sorry to read this Steve but I know that you'll bounce back eventually.

You have my condolence.

I admire Steve positive outlook on life. He seems able to detach himself his identity with other things in life which is not him.:up:

Many people have strong attachment to their title, position or career or wealth that they would feel utterly destroyed should they lost them.

I believe that people no matter how seemingly different on the outside and on the social ladder are actually so much alike.

I'm sorry to hear that too. My dad is 81 and doing okay so far. I've never actually lost someone that close, but I know the time isn't far off. I'm glad your mom's suffering is over, but I know it's still hard.

Me? My problems aren't really so bad. I just like to talk about myself.:dead:

We're staying in a cheap motel until we can get into the homeless shelter, and once there I'll be able to save up enough money to get a car and a place.
Basically being thrown in the street with nowhere to go is pretty bad, and even cheap motels are not really cheap, hope you can shift into your new home soon!:damn:
Cheers.:oops::up:

"Rocks in the water don't know they have it made compared to us rocks in the sun" Crejoe saying

Jimbuna 11-11-09 05:53 AM

Please accept my deepest sympathy Reece.

Reece 11-11-09 09:24 AM

Thanks Jim, funeral tomorrow, not looking forward to that understandably!:oops::cry:

Schroeder 11-11-09 10:18 AM

Sorry to hear that Reece. I've lost my father about five months ago and I know how you are feeling.:cry:

LiveGoat 11-11-09 10:26 PM

Sorry you're going through troubles, Steve. I'm only just getting out of a similar situation myself. Had to sell nearly all my possessions, including my beloved Ludwigs. You'll pull through it, I'm sure of it.

nikimcbee 11-11-09 10:35 PM

Hey, Steve, You know I'm always good for lunch:D. My sister's baby is due in December and she live out that way, maybe if I scrape up some money, I'll take you out to lunch and we can chat. I really enjoyed that.:salute:

It's too bad you couldn't get a job at the library there, that would be a perfect job for you.
