Been silently checking this thread every single day since mid last year. You managed to overcome one of my worst nightmares and now suddenly nothing seems insurmountable. Congratulations UR, you're one of the best of us.

The best news. Congratulations! I, too, would love to send you something if you'd like. You could get a PO Box now with your REAL address, but those can get expensive depending on where you live. Wishing you all the best!

UR goes to check the mail box. 'Hey' he thinks to himself, 'the goons said they would send me some mail. I wonder what it'll be?' He pops open the box. It's a copy of Jonathan Strange. He takes it out. There's another copy of Jonathan Strange. He pulls them out, one after another, over and over, again until a deluge of hardback copies of Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell falls like an avalanche out of the mail box.

I was linked to this thread, and after reading it all I want to say that you should definitely write a book about the whole ordeal. Congrats on making it through all the trials of the last year and a half!

I'm completely overwhelmed by all of the support and congratulations and just everything, thank you all so much. I do owe a proper update so here's what happened! I'm actually living with some friends I made at work, back when I was still on the day shift! They started a weekly Game of Thrones night thing and I was invited so every Sunday I'd go over and hang out and we'd watch Game of Thrones together, laugh, eat chips and it was such a nice reprieve from everything. They didn't know I was homeless because I don't really tell people at work that, I didn't want people there to look down on me, but I did often mention that I was looking for a "new place" in case anyone knew of cheap apartments. A little over a week ago we got together for an impromptu "Work Sucks Post Season Lets Have a Movie Night", and eventually all started talking about roommate horror stories and I mentioned the two guys I met on craigslist, the creepy weirdos, those guys. "Road, you're still looking for a place?" "Yeah, it's been rough." "We are looking for a roommate, we have an unused bedroom here. I didn't know you were looking for a place with roommates I would have offered it sooner!" Getting me on the lease took a bit of time so when I say "officially" moved in, I mean I've been crashing there for a few days but now I'm on the lease!  I told myself I'd have a place before my birthday, that was my goal even though every month it just kept falling through, but drat it I made it with three days to spare (and just in time, with the tropical storm coming). This has been a hell of a time and I'd say it doesn't feel real but this bed is warm and soft and comfy, and it's all mine. I finally have a place now and I can start rebuilding my life. It's fantastic. I'm fairly sure my roommates would not be terribly please with my posting the address on a forum. But I can give it over PM if anyone would like to send/receive letters Thank you guys so much for reading this year long thread and for all the overwhelming support and just.. everything. It means so much to me and I don't think I would have made it this far without all of it. Thank you guys.

speaking of homeless Goons, What ever happened to that guy with the boil from Las Vegas, and kitty housed in a Mormon rapture cellar? Did that thread close after he got to Detroit, is he still gainfully employed?
