(OP) User ID: 77842955 United States 04/05/2020 02:29 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It has happened. Not with me. But noone is doing anything now lol..I'm the youngest guy here and that is 40!!!!.. 2 girls in their 20s. What I learned about homeless shelter over the last 5 years in my travels, people come off drugs and forgot who they are. So the only thing that comforts them is finding a relationship IN here!! I tell people that are new to this, DO NOT THINK ABOUT YOUR LONELY HEART!!.. IF you are in the shelter, and they are in the shelter, YOU BOTH FUCKED UP SOMEWHERE IN LIFE. And if you leave with another homeless person, you'll be right back in here I agree that a shelter is not the place for building long-term romantic relationships, but it is extremely biased to suggest that EVERY person in a shelter has somehow f*cked up somewhere in their life. I ended up in one for a short period due to a very, very dirty divorce lawyer. I was able to get on my feet relatively quickly but I met many, many people who were also not addicts, criminals or shelter hoppers. From what I can tell, all it takes is to have a very toxic family of origin. Most people can rely on family in a time of dire need. Some of us can't. For myself, it was hard moving from helping to develop community outreach programs to actually being in need. I'm strong. I survived. Yet, I don't think stumbling blocks serve any function unless we somehow learn and grow from them. I wish you well and hope you are able to keep up the outside work while it's still allowed. Just my experience. My glass is always half empty. I didn't do anything bad, I just made the wrong choices. And in saying that I mean I fucked up somewhere. Noone else did it to me, I did. And yes, no way I could count on my family. They did me dirty. So I quit pouting about it over time and got strong and cut them out of my life. You don't need to give a shit about people who don't give a shit about you. And I tell you what,,,that set me free!. And thanks for the well wishes too I told em so!!! |

User ID: 78450659 United States 04/05/2020 02:35 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Thanks for the reply. I understand. I just wanted to point out that some people can end up in a shelter because of other people's bad choices for them. As an aside, I have always found it bizarre how people (general society) will blame the victim if they stay with an abuser but will condemn us for a wide berth when our abusers share DNA. I finally ended the charade about 2.5 years ago after ending up in the hospital from three relatives attacking me. That is when I moved to a shelter until I could find a solution that didn't involve me being a verbal/physical punching bag. I survived. It hasn't been easy. But, it hasn't been the worse ever either. For the first time in my life, I am unreachable (to them) and I'm the safest I've ever been. Peace to you! (and all survivors of child/offspring abuse) Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up, and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable - a most sacred right - a right, which we hope and believe, is to liberate the world. -- Abraham Lincoln The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion. -- Albert Camus |

Quoting: Vodka4two Thank you...I do wish I could kick back with some beers through this, but not worth losing the shelter and food do you have any cartoon character tattoos? Is that a sign of homeless? Guess what. I don't have any tats, nothing ever pierced, never married, no kids. Oldest southern boy alive that probably can say that..what else would you ask about the homeless? One comment already suggested that if I can afford a 12 dollar glp membership, I can afford a house!! Ahaha do you put your shoes under the cot posts or tie the laces to your wrist so they dont walk off? Under my bunk. This isnt a shelter like most places you can't just come in every night if you feel like it. You want to be here. And there is some fucking freeloaders here and it makes me sick. They sit here everyday, dont look for work, dont ask for the side jobs eat great. Just riding out the system as long as they can!!..joker is snoring next to me right now, was here when I came in last year, here when I left in January and here now!!! Bitches about having to do chores too...scum..not even a junkie, just wants a free ride. Next question about the homeless? I told em so!!! |

(OP) User ID: 77842955 United States 04/05/2020 02:52 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Very much so. 2 women I loved. A good friend in Washington. Boise Idaho has little community of Asian mail order brides, and I worked with a bunch. Boise was also so expensive to live. A lil horrible motel I stayed in was 340 a week, and id only make a little over 400. The girls would bring me food from their houses or leftovers, so I could eat and still pay for my room.. really good people. Wanna know what real America is. Jump on a greyhound for 4 and a half days straight. You meet friends and even a little group we stuck together from Memphis to salt lake city to Portland and slowly broke apart. That was sad for me. Momma was poor so we always was on city buses, the realest people you will meet. Greyhound cross country. Good the bad and crazy. I told em so!!! |

Had a pedophile when I was in here years ago. Was old, but used to be a multimillionaire. Cant have sex offenders in here now because we have a women and children's dorm open in the back last year..... I tried to get a group of younger dudes that was in here years ago to save money, and walk to the west coast with me. No maps, just follow the sun. But some had girlfriends or kids and didn't want to do it. I didn't want to di it alone. Something like that you got to have backup I told em so!!! |

User ID: 78417952 United States 04/05/2020 03:06 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm not promoting this lifestyle to anyone. But I made it 35 years with no wife no kids. Momma died, all this happened, and the adventure began. So alot of this life,my enjoyment was women. I'm not ugly I got a southern accent and them west coast women love me and I love them. If you could be a single man. It is an exciting life!! People go to the shelter to get a home, I did it to stack money and travel. I know how to work, save money I quit caring about material things a few months after I was new to homeless. I got a big ass bag of clothes and shoes and work boots in the dorm. Book bag with important paperwork and mommas necklaces. Had a normal life like everyone else and it is all gone!! Besides the stuff I just said. When it's time to go, I grab that bag and go!! So sorry you lost your mom. Same. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 76984449 United States 04/05/2020 03:54 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hi op, I camp on the outskirts of Denver in Aurora. I bus into Denver every day to stock shelves and the only people out are homeless and police. Not much seems to be going on. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77738449 The only people riding the bus are homeless types and they're just getting into fights over drugs like always. Things seem normal, just less people. What's funny is when I'm stocking shelves people with masks come by and thank me for my hard work. Like I'm some kind of hero. Lol, I'm just trying to survive and feed myself like always, but hey maybe some thanks are due. Everyone who is working with the public to keep everything going deserves thanks. So thank you :) |

I wanted to kill myself when I ended up homeless for the 1st Time 5 years ago and stayed 1 night in Asheville. The hippies and junkies took over Asheville, they can't keep up. Best thoughts for everyone around you to stay strong and healthy. Take care and hopefully when this is all over, you'll have a chance to get the heck out of there. :smilefly: |

I can't wait til the rich people get what they deserve! I hope you'll tell us how you went all Homeless Justice all over their rotten asses. Never, ever forget how they didn't care about you. True, they didn't owe you anything BUT you sure as hell don't owe them anything either! They'll be shitting themselves when the shit gets really real, won't they? Phuc Em! I say these things because I uised to volunteer in the homeless shelter. A lot of rich and upper middle class people will reap the Grapes of Wrath that they've planted! Just remember not all wealthy people are bad. The same as all poor people are not always good. |

No " social distancing " here Quoting: Vodka4two Give it some time and you will catch Hep-C or an STD, just be patient. Std from being on lockdown with the homeless? Lol You got two 20 year old girls in there who may or may not be accustomed to sucking dick for meth. It's not a ridiculous statement. I stayed in one a couple of times, it was plenty gross. |

But since trump daddy came on tv the 11th I have been predicting every single thing for 3 weeks straight ( thanks to my 11 years on glp) I'm not trolling them, I'm spreading info they dont care to hear.

Got me a job in walking distance and banged a chick while I was there. Had to pay $50 for a hotel room for the night, but she used to be a masseuse and she gave me a good long rubdown. Worth it. |
