Title: As of this week I'll be a homeless person, wheeee
Post by: Dicer on October 28, 2017, 08:21:05 AM
Due to some unforeseen family bullshittery and nonsense I will be without housing this week...

Anyone have some good tips as far as resources go, I'm zero income right now (awaiting cash assistance while SSDI takes it sweet ass time) and I'll be checking out a few local shelters Monday.

Any thought or foresight would be appreciated...

Cheers.

Duder,
Sorry to hear that.  Shelter people and Social Services should be able to help you out, also see if your state has something in place. When I lived in PA they had a bunch of transitional housing and the such to help out people who were temporarily having issues. Also, check all the local churches, you'd be surprised how many have something set up or participate in an interfaith hospitality network.  (designed to give temp housing and meals)

Are you a Veteran?  If so I could point you to some other resources.

Good luck on that SSDI claim.

I have an advocate now says they can get it done in 120 days, so here is hoping.

I tried to go it alone before and really got nowhere, but then again I lived in NH and was clueless, and I guess the process up there is a lot more convoluted.

Maybe I can get my parks screening done sooner, and that will help my case.

I wish I could assist but I don't think I can lend any useful information to the situation. I was wondering why I had not seen you around the chat for awhile, I hope you bounce back quickly. Wish you nothing but the best my friend!

Ok, thank goodness you’re in a place with stuff. Homelessness sucks but it sucks a lot more in flyover country.

Why are you being homelessed?  That's dumb.

Care to share any details, like whose house to throw bricks through the windows of for being lame family members?

Can we blame Tobias for this somehow?

Long story short, I've been living with my aunt since Jan...
She has "issues" one being multiple personality disorder, one said personality doesn't care for me me...since I remind her of my Father, who when they were young got all the favorable treatment.

She needs the "space" to store more shit that never get's looked at but "might be needed someday"

So there it is..no bricks please, and sure let's blame Tobias as her secret unknown personality.

I'm out now at a hotel tonight, couldn't deal with a shelter tonight... Got better ones to call tomorrow... On the bright side I got a visitor from the resetera forums, those folks have been super nice and he brought me goodies... Hopefully tomorrow pans out.

They just aren't scalping the way the NES Classic Mini did. Nintendo made too many of them, apparently.

I've had one since day one. I went to Target at 8:05 AM, when the opened. Got a ticket. Had purchased mine and was on the way to work within about 15 minutes. They're still a bit hard to get if you're not trying, but if you do a little research in advance you only have to try so hard.

I've been to a bunch of Walmarts and Targets from Chicago to Newark and have yet to get my hands on a SNES classic. I had an easier time getting my hands on the NES classic.

I Facebook stalk him. As of a few days ago, he has moved to California and seems to be happy in his new life as a male escort to the Hollywood elite.
I heard he became a fluffer for Peter North.


But in all seriousness....i hope it has gotten better for him. Has anyone heard from him?
