...It was not your suggestion,. but somebody else responded to my pointing out that I have a past graduation on record by saying " Underpaid educational employees never check anyone's identity - I.e., that should come up with a false story for what I did when I was 13-18, to substitute for what I actually did. I should fake my background, and get a phony GED based on that background is what that person said I should do. This would've been to get around my having a HS diploma, and not bring eligible for GED classes. Fake. Phony.
Incidentally, I think those " Underpaid educational employees " WOULD check my name and SS number. Jiffy-quick 
!
ortie"]Will you stop harping on the GED! Nobody wanted you to "fake" anything. It was just an alternative in case you didn't get your transcripts.
I didn't know you've already had a heart attack.[/quote]

...Thank you! 
I think the rules on transcripts may be different (1) all these years later, (2) in America, not Canada.
oon"]@ ASS-P - I identify with you a lot. My mother screwed up my education too. Everything I try to do goes Splat! Oh, I had a job because the alternative was Mom. Nothing that was the matter with me (and was real!) was of any importance so long as I had a job of any kind. Nag-nag-nag. But when I aced high school and got enrolled at McGill U., Mom made me get a full-time typing job instead. There are things you say that ring a bell with me.
I gotta tell you this - I got enrolled in a lot of college stuff that Mom never let me finish, but the thing with sending the marks - that has to be between the institutions only, without me. Nobody will accept that info from the student.
And I wish somebody would take over some of my troubles, too. It's not going to happen but that's how I feel.
Just sayin ...[/quote]

...It would have em such a tiny difference, yet so all-important 
, for me to have the TLPOP - the transcripts - at hand.
With them. I could proceed with applying to college, because I would - Hsve known? - that the place I would apply to would get my transcripts.
It's as simple as that .
I am technologically undersupplied and undereducated. I am scarred by my past experiences, and those past experiences have proven that I am right, the transcripts are not in a " normal " " get sent instantly by your friendly HS alma mater " - Not iny case! I COULD use help . But I won't get it here.

.I likely will not be back in my temporary - and likely not much longer - room for some hours now.
@ EVERYONE ELSE: He's obviously not asking for help, so obviously he just wants to rant.
Let him rant. It's his thread, after all.
I'm outta here.
Told you so.

. My economic and social status contributes to that - but, also, the lack of " belongingness ' , and knowledge, that that burdens me with, and lack of connection-infrastructure. There are people here older than I, but seem both to have been allowed to have good stability in their life, and built up connections and know.My lack of computer literacy is one example
.Another manifestation of my lack of connection is that I can't even access my HS transcripts to have them at hand when, if I did, I try to apply to college when the so-called " normal " method does not get my transcripts sent to place I hypothetically apply to.
It did not work before. I need to get my hands at the TLPOP, then, once I really had them, I could try applying to college, because I would know that I had copies to send them. It is just this tiny - yet oh so important
- matter of the TLPOP. If that matter was solved, I could go on to applying. Getting the TLPOP is entirely separate from applying. I would need the TLPOP matter solved - THEN I could apply 
. But, I get shrieking, lying, hatred them for this from people who themselves possibly had help in applying to college and were allowed a steady infrastructure - but ordered me to take on a fake background for a false GED, telling me I must discard my past .Elsewhere, others stick their fingers in their ears and tell of super-dee-duper admissions people who will be nice THIS time, magical thinking fantasies. Just obtaining the TLPOP would break the logjam
!Of course, I no longer really think I'll get help here. This is more a post mortem analysis. Speaking of which, I wonder if I will have another heart attack
.My tech-knowledge cutoff was illustrated by Fjord"s tantrum at me. Demanding a response that second - I don't have that much equipment, or, often, time!
Your economic and social status has nothing to do with how people here view you. There are other homeless regulars here, like Red Robin. I simply view homelessness as a hazard of not being wired NT.
Its your pan handling and general bad manners and other BS, and if you cant see that then how lost are you. And your lack of a good grasp on reality. No one here can get your transcripts, or fill out your forms, or attend meetings for you, or make phone calls for you. If you cant do that yourself then you cant go to college. Its that simple.

I'm handicapped - and long since don't drive. Moving would be physically difficult, too.
Furthermore. I am, now, at least in line for some medical attention - especially that probable eye operation, I should just forget about that now and hop a Greyhound?
People to talk about " lower cost of living " somewhere presume a larger amount if money and skills/cnfrastructure/credentials to draw on - People talk about such and such a place where " You can buy a post-WWII tract house way cheap!! ! " or " Low taxes and light regulations make this a great place to start a business! ". I'm not in any position to do those things.
As far as getting a job, I'm about as likely to get a job that anybody would pay for as you are, Ezra1 Perhaps some education)training could eventually put me in a " salably employable " position, but that would require, say, some school - and THAT would require getting into school and THAT would require my transcripts from HS and, symbolically anyway, some people here - including, at least in part, YIU, Ezra - feel about THAT. You're absolutely determined that I not lay a hand on my transcripts!
When I lived in Mississippi I was able to rent a studio for $300 a month. Its only so expensive where you live because its CA.
$300.00 a month? For real? Wow!
Yes sir. Wasn't much, just a living/sleeping room, kitchenette, and bathroom. But it was clean, dry, and safe. I prefer to live simply and with few unnecessary things to tie me down.
