"Mystery solved!"
"I cannot afford a plane ticket to Spain."
"My hovercraft is full of eels."Yeah, I know he posted other stuff, but reading random things is how FAWTL roll.

Granted, there are those with absolutely nothing, but the government is so generous with the handouts, that living on the streets is mostly (noted not always) reserved for morons here.
That is gonna vary WIDELY on a case per case basis. of course statistics aren't based on one particular individual's story its A large number of people across time.

Granted.
Of course, living close to Parkersburg all my life doesn't help with my cynical thoughts toward "homeless" people, as ALL (yes, ALL) the people in Parkersburg, WV who panhandle, actually do it to earn "tax-free" money, and lived quite well on what they earned, so they kept doing it. It's so bad there, that they had to ban panhandling. Now, the law-abiding citizen who could use the generosity of their fellow Americans can't get it, and the police have to many scoundrels to deal with there to keep them all from doing it.It's a mess.

I used to be homeless, more than once in fact, both my parents were working, s~~# happens.
Don't judge people until you walk in their shoes
I said that their are people who are genuinely in trouble, or who need stuff.
I just dislike it when people take advantage of people thinking that they are in need and use it to avoid work, and make people like me, who enjoys helping people, skeptical about people who are truly in need!I dislike people who abuse the system, not those who need the system.

Listen, just because some lazy a!~!&$$s sit at stoplights with signs doesn't mean you should be skeptical of others in need.
Please don't let the actions of a few dampen your generosity, please.

I try not to, but some days it is difficult.
I saw the post you removed, and I am sorry to have upset you.I am willing to let sleeping dogs lie, and avoid the subject from here on out.

Lower back still tight, but s*&% gots to get done today, so.
Maybe if you'd stop shoving your weird-a$$ midwestern weather our way, your back would improve.
I swear -- 88 at 3:00 pm, then suddenly it's overcast and starts pouring rain, then a thunderstorm, then it drops 20 degrees in under an hour...
...that's not OUR weather.
Where's Freehold?

Maybe you got stuck in a dimensional warp. Are any of the locals suddenly extolling the virtues of Bart Starr or milking cows.

Sorry, no mirrors around here. Not in the whole hotel. And certainly not over the fireplace 15' from me.
First line of defense against incoming vampires?
Have you been told during your orientation to never say "welcome, you may come in" to guests until you check if you can see their reflection in the mirror?

Apparently our neighborhood is the trendy place to deposit stolen vehicles this summer.
Do you happen to live near a Denny's?
Because in my ill-spent youth, I know that the felonious types in my greater circle of acquaintances would follow the script:
(1) Get roaring drunk
(2) Steal a car and drive it around
(3) Get hungry
(4) Go to Denny's, completely forgetting the stolen car
Ah, class of '85. More felonies committed by that class than by any other class in the history of Albany High...
(And in a complete and silly side note, my claim to fame is that I let the football team shave my head just before picture day, and the photo company drew hair on me in my senior picture. Yep. Weirdness.)

Apparently yes.
At least they aren't stealing them from the neighborhood, I guess.

My dog used to constantly chase people on bicycles. I thought it was hilarious, but apparently not everyone else did. Eventually the police received so many complaints that they came and took away his bike.
as someone who has a longstanding enmity with dogs as a cyclist, I find this HILARIOUS.

Whoever made me a present, thank you so much!
I don't know who did it but it is greatly appreciated!!!BTW, despite being half offline, I keep updating the art thread and my campaign journal from time to time.
When I am done with my last picture I'll post some of my latest ones.
*hugs*

So... while thunderstorms aren't impossible around here, they're exceedingly rare -- maybe once a decade or so.
So after getting a nice lightning storm yesterday (I'm sure you can Google "San Francisco lightning" and get some nice pictures) and the really bizarre weather I described, today's been more weirdness: We usually have humidity that really isn't noticeable -- I Googled it and it says we average 79%, but that just seems wrong, as it never feels humid around here. The average probably includes the fog or something.
Today is muggy and more humid than I recall it ever being, it's in the high 70's, and we're supposed to get more thunderstorms this afternoon.
WTH, Freehold? Since when did you become Heat Miser?

So no one is casually wearing a block of cheese on their heads or eating a brat for breakfast or letting their cow graze in the yard.

So... lisamarlene lives nearby, so I cannot completely deny someone possibly eating a brat for breakfast.
Otherwise, no cows or cheeseheads visible at the moment...

So I watched it... waiting for a punchline...
The fact that it was serious was seriously depressing.
Mm hm.
