I really am a cripple, you know.

He probably has books to read, and maybe comic books.

I know, if I were homeless, that I would just love to have a long book to read....especially if it's nonfiction.

...I'm going to return to my original point, which is that I am REALLY crippled . I move ultra-slowly, and, furthermore, my getting up from a floor/the ground position, just as it says in my sig, is REALLY a " Lon Chaney, Sr. as a pathetic cripple with a cart ' matter. My back tends to be bad, and, when I had my rather stuffed backpack stolen while I was asleep recently, the pain-blunting edibles were among what was stolen. Furthermore, now, the NYS lawyer is refusing to send me money at all...the hospital social worker I'd worked with told him a, at the very least, exaggerated story that I was going to another town post-Patterson (San Jose) and got him to cut off money to me - It has been well past a month - strolling toward a month and a half, at least - since I received money from him, the Patterson thing greatly depleted my cash, but, as of now, he has been saying " find another social worker " (the previous one seems to have said " you needn't contact me " after I called her on the false San Jose story) before sending me more of what, in fact, is MY money...I can't just pull a social worker out of a hat!

Ok so why post this here on a public forum?

Also I'm wondering why you left SF. That seems to be a much more HL friendly city. They have shelters, free food, and a homeless outreach team.

Note to ASS-P:

If you want to buy a comic book, do it. If you want a cheese burger, eat it. There are too many people who think that just because you're poor you should be deprived of all joy. That's crap. With the life you've lead, you have as much right as anybody to be happy.

I make $15,000 a year and am "poor" by most estimates, but I still buy and play video games. Don't let people shame you into being a miserable wretch just because you weren't lucky enough to be born middle-class.

He wasn't born with a "silver spoon"---but he came from a well-off family (I believe).

Still, you're right. If he wants to enjoy a cheeseburger, let him enjoy a cheeseburger.

...I can't, as I said, carry a stove around with me! I don't know how to do that! Even though I'm trying to avoid talking to MS, as far as returning to San Francisco goes, from for and against...Ping-ponging this many times between Santa Cruz and SF seems, on one level, to be a little silly. For a major " Against " there is simply the fact that SF is very hilly - Surely you've seen some of those action movies with dramatic car chases using the hilly parts of SF ! - Built on seven hills, like Rome . - I'd have to deal with a lot of hills - given that I am handicapped . I left SF in 2017 partly - heavily - because the Social Services people I was with were threatening to take my SSDI. Would I have to deal with them again? I had, too, been disappointed by them when, as you may remember, I meant to apply to City College of San Francisco and they said they'd help/encourage me with the applying - and then they didn't .
On a plus side, there is some initiative on the San Francisco ballot this year that would greatly increase homeless spending - If it passes, of course, it wouldn't immediately affect things...But would it help me much? And would I be seen as too much of an " outsider-coming-back " if I did? Then again, I might still be listed as a San Francisco resident.
However, too, the Main Library downtown has some personnel that seem to dislike me, and little completely free computers anymore, IIRC...And I'd likely end up hanging around the sorta ucchhy Tenderloin and upper SOMA nabes, as I did before ..Then again, they're sort of " the old home " ...

Most fast food places have healthy choice menus. Lots of very good salads, grilled chicken sandwiches, fruit cups etc. I don't care what you eat it's none of my damn business. But if you ate more of that kind of food you would probably lose a lot of weight. Both water and regular and take some strain off your back.

...There's actually few fast-food places in the KFC/Mickey D's sense in downtown SC.
Also, BTW, though I'd planned to vote...I don't know if I will be out of the hospital and can do that this coming Tuesday .

You really must exercise your right to vote if at all physically possible.

Camping stoves are small and portable by design. Im not suggesting you lug around a kitchen range fss. Also social workers can not confiscate your money thats illegal.

I don't know whether this will help you with the cooking problem.

I get the vibe that AssP had an upper class upbringing and when from riches to rags when his parents died pretty much overnight.
