As of this week I'll be a homeless person, wheeee

Dicer · 10/28/2017, 03:21 PM

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)

Dicer · 10/28/2017, 03:50 PM

Yep I have places to check out Monday, it's just a real shit situation that I wasn't expecting.

Medic_wheat · 10/28/2017, 03:53 PM

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.

Springfield, Ma...I've already got shelter options to check out Monday.

BigusSchmuck · 10/28/2017, 09:28 PM

Heya, if you need some $$$ send me your paypal info.

sirhcman · 10/28/2017, 09:28 PM

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.

I almost wish I was someplace warmer I really wouldn't care so much then...

Dicer · 10/29/2017, 09:38 PM

Setup a GoFundMe thing as suggested by someone, can't hurt I suppose...no idea how all that works.

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.

Gredler · 10/30/2017, 01:43 PM

Best of luck and wishes Dicer. I hope to be reading positive posts of your upswing soon brother, hope this is very temporary and you find a good job and place to live soon.

JoshTurboTrollX · 10/30/2017, 04:54 PM

Absolutely man, I hope all turns around for you quickly!

I've got stuff I can keep here for the short term, no other family...hopefully this week stays tepid.

Sparky · 10/31/2017, 01:00 AM

Sorry dude. And sorry to tease the aunt. ( she had it coming) Just a bad fucking spot to be in. Could not imagine.

Dicer · 10/31/2017, 07:05 PM

...and my phone just decided to bootloop.

Fiddledicks

Dicer · 11/02/2017, 06:19 PM

So I'm in the hospital... Blood clot in the lung.

Medic_wheat · 11/02/2017, 08:30 PM

Blood clots are no joke.

With that said a horse walks into a bar.

Keep us updated.

Arkhan Asylum · 11/03/2017, 02:15 AM

more importantly, are there any hot nurses to fiddledick around with?

johnnykonami · 11/03/2017, 09:22 AM

Hang in there, Dicer. Hope you get better soon man.

geise · 11/03/2017, 07:37 PM

Yeah. Dicer I really hope shit starts going your way man.

Dicer · 11/05/2017, 04:31 PM

Been sitting in hospital turn out a I had a blood clot in my lung, glad I came in...because I need injections I will hopefully end up someplace more safe than my current shelter.

seieienbu · 11/05/2017, 08:31 PM

Your luck has to flip at some point. Here's hoping you stumble upon a winning lotto ticket.

Dicer · 11/06/2017, 10:41 PM

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.

On blood thinners for a while so no knife fights for a while, damn it all.

Arkhan Asylum · 11/09/2017, 11:58 AM

Shit just sell that SNES classic and buy a house. lol.

spenoza · 11/09/2017, 12:09 PM

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

Thank goodness for that, since I actually want one of these.

spenoza · 11/09/2017, 01:19 PM

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.

TelcoSurveyor · 11/15/2017, 06:11 PM

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.

jtucci31 · 11/15/2017, 06:17 PM

There is another thread about the snes classics elsewhere on this forum

Gypsy · 11/15/2017, 09:55 PM

Wherever you are I hope you are holding out alright Dicer.

Dicer · 11/17/2017, 10:16 AM

So I spent a week in a psych ward, and my first night out and someone knicked my tablet when I was asleep. Fucking fantastic, lol

I'm ok just frazzled and tired and annoyed.

You got this brother! Hope all is on the mend.

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?
