Clothes , cough , crippled-ness .

ASS-P,

Wow, when I saw all the things you're going through, my problems are really nothing at all. I hope you are able to get some good medical help. I can't add much more to what others have already suggested. I hope you can get the help you need for your various difficulties.

You said you went to Target a few weeks ago. At Target there's a L/XL (38-64" waist) Depend product with 52 pairs, so that lasts almost two months. The price is $28 on sale or $33 regular. That's less than a dollar per pair of underwear and it should keep your pants from getting stained.

Maybe you could buy a cheaper pack with a few pairs and see how it goes.

...The point is valid , thank you - I am speaking more of outside clothes than the underwear point now , including just plain keepin g wam enough ~ and dry enough , when it rains again .
I mentioned that poncho of mine that was stolen , IIRC .
Bigger-city outlets of chain stores may both cost a bit more and have somewhat less stuff .
My cripplled-ness and Aspie-ness's confining of me makes getting around somewhat hard , then , there's the shelter curfew .

i never buy new clothes, always get 'em from yard sales or goodwill. is there a goodwill in SF you could try?

...Specifically , the two goodwill shops near me have both been nasty to me , I wrote about that before .
I haven't recently gone to them .
There's likely other 2nd-hand chains in SF , but it is hard for me to get around - And considering my considerable size (but sort of odd measurements against that) - it is hard for me to find anything at all that fits me at clothing shows , and that included 2ndhand ones as well .

...OK , I will dedicate space here to talking about my situation now .
RIGHT NOW , I am at the Burger King just across from the library that banned me . I am using the Burger King Wi-Fi - I had thought that maybe there,d be overlapped library WF , but I got BK,s own .
I could have gone to the St. Anthony,s feed .
I didn,t . I spent quite alot of $ at this BK , kind of with the excuse of : getting it out of my system : , wanting to chow down here .
Plus, it had been a number of hours since I ate last , about 7 PMlast nite , I missed breakfast at the shelter/this/morning .
I also decided that at least one contributing reason for my feeling ill at the shelter is - okay , here goes - poop residue .
From the blankets I sleep on , when the poop residue from my butt (Though I always wear pants in the bed there , and generally underpants too) somewhat getting on the blanket/the bed , and , when the blanket is against my face ,/some of the poop residue getting to me , when the blanket,s against my face .. That could contribute to wooziness on my part .
If I follow the plan of TCJ , and go to Nashville...Oddly enough I hvae heard a little bit about how homeless services/work in Nashville/,/from the blogger The Homeless Guy , Kevin , who was homeless in Nash. and wrote about it (He moved away and at this point isn,t HL and his blog is inactive/ , thoughh still up .)...If I go , I suppose I,d best leave fairly soon , which would be early in January .

...DC , I,m sorry I got the abbreviation of your name wrong !
I just didn,t have the right spelling handy .
I relly did pig out at the BK - I wanted : Lots : - and I got it - Two W@hopper meals , plus Cheesy Tots , a chili dog , and a Hershey,s Sunday Pie !
Maybe if I self-consiously indulge a little I can switch to , most of the time , mor nutritious stuff . Maybe .

I think you should be more conservative with your money. You now have a tablet, giving you more access to the internet than before, so you needn't worry about things like a library or computer lab.

Spending money on junk food at Burger King isn't the way to go, when you could have a potentially more nutritious dinner for free.

I know it takes you a while to get ready in the morning. Perhaps you could ask the shelter staff to save breakfast for you in a tupperware container so you can have it when you've made yourself ready a little later in the morning.

I'm going to be honest:

If you ask a shelter staffer to put some food in Tupperware "for later," this person would laugh in your face.

Shelters really are not nice places.

That's probably right but it doesn't hurt to ask.

ASS-P takes a while to get ready in the morning and seems to need alot of sleep. The breakfast time for the shelter he's at is between 7-8:30am. I'm not sure if that would be doable, which may be why he's missing breakfast alot.

There really is no compassion in shelters, especially those for adult men.

It would be nice if ASS-P can befriend somebody who can do that for him. Most of the time in a shelter situation, though, ASS-P would have to "do something" for that person. That "something" might be sexual in nature.

It's probably better if he would get into some home where he would be taken care of medically.

Yeah, that's definitely where he needs to go.

Yes I like that idea, the sooner the better.

I would actually like to come there and take you here myself in retrospect but I don't have the funds for that no worries. That is a wall on a box that we are working outside of. Before anything else, I'll need as much information as possible as quickly as possible. I can only read so much of what you have written. What kind of depends of lack of a better word do you need?

And the biggest problem is meds, I respect privacy, I need no names but your gonna need at least two weeks worth and that is everything goes well. How is the mail situation?

Also can someone help me communicate to the mods that having a none intrusive gofundme between me and ass-p might be a good idea. I can make it happen with out complete begging.

...OK , I have to get to the computer lab now , try and read your old PMs , continue among the /line of planning to leave for Nashville in January via bus since IIRC that,s what you indicated .

What would be in Nashville?

Remember: it's not the "deep South." It can get as cold as the North sometimes there. They can get bad ice storms there, too.

Bring winter gear. Definitely. San Francisco is a picnic compared to Nashville, even though Nashville can get pretty warm in the winter.

I'm sure DCJ knows what he's doing. I'm just asking for curiosity's sake.

A few important points raised.

1. Can ASS-P get his medication in Nashville just the same as he gets it in San Francisco?

2. His mail would need to be re-directed from San Francisco to Nashville. That would need to be done ASAP.

3. I already tried a GoFundMe account for him. Not one single person, except myself, donated. Just saying. Maybe you will have better luck.

Overall, the top two points are the main ones. ASS-P should know of anything else that may need to be changed to Nashville from a San Francisco address and he should do it ASAP.
