...Basically I can't call whatever-211-is today anyway . I've spoken to the friend - who is a WP regular - loads , however , I'm kind of giving him a break now .
I'm not sure what " drop-in place " you mean .
Believe me , lockers are " gold hen's teeth "-level scarce ! Places tend not to have them , ewven if they have other things .
IF the UGH (which I have experience with , remember) , which that Canadian is so obsessed with , offered me something (not 100& given at all) , it would have to have " locker " -ability , for when I was out , to be meaningful at all .
Remember , when I was anticipating the operation , I said I would need " learn-to-walk-again " rehab . Well , I did . 
And I didn't get it

...Where I am now (not UGM) isn't a drop-in center in that sense , I believe .
Another place was/is , but certainly DID NOT provide lockers , and had BIG signs up , saying " TAKE YOUR STUFF ~ Anything Left Behind After ____PM Will Be Thrown Away " .
Okay ?????????
I don't think any " butt-kissing " will change that , or similar .
Now , if I could rest...even a bit , temporarily ...........

People make one vague suiggestion , expect you to follow it 100% & and never ask them for any extra details about what you're supposed to do , and just tell them how great they are .
What is this UGM E-dress I'm supposed to contact ? Is it actually a reaching-someone address or just what was listed in one product of a search ? Everyone in the universe , you may be suprised to know , does not spend all their time online , as WP Aspies (myself included) tend to , and , IF the e-dress reaches an important desk of someone , IF they could answer questions like that , and they were , IF , so inclined to answer a blind e-mail from someone they've never , to their knowledge , heard of ~ Lots of " if "s , huh ???
And I don't think it's a bad idea to compare it to where I am at already ! Why shouldn't I ? Are you frustrarted because I haven't said where I am to you (and I'm not going to) ?
I cough-cough-cough AGAIN AND AGAIN , and loogie and snot a fair amount too ~ I could use some help . If you want to help without involving material benefit or comfort for me , perhaps you could ghost-write letters to wherever it is you want me to send such letters to , me seeing and approving those letters and perhaps editing them before they're sent , so they're truthful , like a politican's speech written for him by a speechwriter ! I have just 90 mins time in front of a reliable keyboard every day and am a slow typist , not trained ~ How about that ?
I have probably walked an amount comparable to that man in Detroit , and I have just been rendered a full-fleged (if lesser) cripple - I only want a chance to recover a little from it
.I never asked or expected you yo tell me or B19 "how great we are." We simply have an expectation that helpful advice being offered be followed vs. be shot down w/o even trying. If you try it, and it doesn't work, then at least you've tried and people will be more likely to put effort and time into trying to help you out with some additional information or resources. If you refuse to explore the options of help you're offered, people won't want to make an effort to help you. It's that simple.
The email address is abuck@ugm.org - and 90minutes of internet time is plenty enough to send an email, even for the slowest typer. But ok, if you Need someone else to write a quick note, I can type quickly, here - use this if you like:
To whom it may concern at UGM,
I've heard that you offer a place for men to recover from illnesses and injuries. I recently had a few toes amputated due to complications from diabetes and am in need of a place to rest and recuperate. I don't need much, just a place to rest and hopefully a secure place to leave my luggage while I practice walking long distances again and regain my balance.
Whether you have a place for me or not I would greatly appreciate a quick response so that I can take the necessary steps to move in temporarily, or move on to trying to find some other suitable accommodations.
Thank you in advance for your time & consideration,
<insert your name here>
The story about the Detroit man isn't about the number of miles he's walked. It's more that he's never given up and has walked every one of those miles in order to help himself, not just put miles on his feet for the sake of aimless wandering and killing time.

...I CVOUGHCOUGHCOUGH ! again & again ...and snotnose - & cough up loogies:-(...yes , sir , , I'm reasl equipped to go calling on new people...Oh , and with my poor , new to 7&1/2 toes , balance (& , again , remember , doctors essentially said to me , before the operation , that , if I had gotten really intense IV antibiotics AND A PLACE TO STAY , the big toes could've been saved - But that's all over now )...and carrying my ball & chain ...........

...I had two different payasyougo , plus unlimited talktextweb plans , in 2014 . Both were stolen .
Costing me over $200 , IIRC .
It would take me forever to , even , get them (fully??) working , even whe I had them before they were stolen ~ I had such bad luck .

I don't think I want anything from you then .
I think you've been , anyway , very little if at all helpful , just egoboosting yourself about how wonderful your " helpful advice " is , possibly ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
I didn't say you wander aimlessly. I was talking about the man in Detroit in the article. His walking was with intent and purpose - to help himself as best he could. That's the difference people see in his long walks vs. others who happen to put a lot of miles on their shoes but don't tend to accomplish much of anything for it.
Good, we're in mutual agreement then. You're attitude is so negative I don't particularly want to give you any more of my time or advice. IF you were one to make an effort to help yourself, I'd be more inclined to help you. But since all you want to do is complain and ignore others' advice, there's no sense in spending any time trying to assist you. That's why you won't get much help from others if you haven't figured it out yourself.
Incorrect. I spent my time replying in your threads because you genuinely seem to be in need of helpful advice. But your reaction to people attempting to help you is so poor that it deters people from wanting to do anything to help you. Have you noticed that no one else new has bothered to post a reply and offer any sort of advice or help despite the fact that there are more thread views than just B19, Kraftie, and I? That's because you're being so rude and negative about the advice you're being offered that no one wants to bother spending their time researching anything or typing replies to you - because you can't help anyone who isn't willing to help themselves.
