(I've followed the thread from the start but don't see what kind of work you're doing). [/quote] Offically, I'n not, and have no real source of income as of yet. I have a long time friend who had 210 acres of very rural woodland property upstate, and he is allowing me to stay here as long as i need or wish to. In exchange for room and board, I'm helping him with some construction projects on the property. For the last fifteen years prior to this I worked in customer service. What I hope to do soon is be able to work in a field I actually went to school for and love, which is photography. So my hope is that if all goes according to plan, by this time next month I will have all my ID, have the money coming to me from the company i used to work for, will have purchased a used vehcile, and have my friend get my cameras out of hock. Even with my limted ability now I've been trying to network in this rural mecca of moose, coyotes and chipmonks, and have three potential jobs lined up for august..That's if everything goes according to plan. Thanks for reading! [/quote] Sounds like a great plan, OP. I'm glad you didn't end up with the "fuzzy end of the lollipop" as Marilyn Monroe famously said. I did volunteer work last weekend handing out food to homeless people in our city - we handed out 300 meals. It's tough out there. [/quote] Good that you live in a city where they don't cite you for doing that! I'm hoping my plan works out, just muddling through beurocratic bs right now. If I can get past this hurdle, I think everything else will fall into place. [/quote] I'm a genealogist and can get birth records pretty quickly and cheaply if you need yours. [/quote] I'm open to suggestions here. You can email me at homelessguy972@gmail.com off forum too. [/quote]

So as of today I am officially homeless.
I won't bore you all with long sob stories.
About a year ago lost my job of twelve years, couldn't find new work, made some bad financial choices, and today I sit in the public library on my old laptop typing away as all my posessions lay in three small suitcases very close to where I am sitting.
I think this might possibly be the worst place to be homless, given the horrible heat.
So I have seventy-five cents to my name, am not sure where I'll be putting my head down to sleep tonight, and was wondering if anyone else out there has been in a similar prediciment.
I'll update my story here as I can. Maybe a few people will find it interesting.
