I understand nobody has called me on my integrity yet, but I drat loving well know there's the spectre of doubt lurking in the shadows. I started today, the 1st, with my final state assistance benefit of $120 electronically deposited onto my SNAP card as per usual. This is the first actual accessible cash I have had access to in a couple weeks. My life this past month has been able to continue in any fashion via the barter or trade econony and the foodbank/dumpster diving. The first purchase was for a gatorade and $60 cash back, as i could not withdraw from an atm without penalty fees, and am not allowed to withdraw the full balance in one shot. Next was nicotine, a first in far too long, a lighter, a soda, and a moon pie. No receipt, totalled to about $14 and change.  Second purchase, sorely needed Craigslist panniers. $20, no receipt.  Third purchase, a retail value $160 backpack, and sorely neded quality capacity increase. Totalled to $23.00 including rounding up Goodwill donation.  Fourth purchase, another drink and $55 cash back as the two purchases count against the balance and not taken out of my food benefit, also expiring at the end of the month. Fifth purchase, $54 Identification Card replacement, as there was no place open today giving replacement vouchers, let alone close enough to reach in time after my 3 hour wait and discovery. Checking the dollar totals and pocket change on hand, i am short less than $1.50. When the chips were down, i chose to leave behind my cat, my life, everything i had and chance it that severely unsupplied and unprepared without sneaking off anything to "save for later." I was unable to get the cyclocross tires i was actually on time to meet for, and not even breaking full line of sight at under 30 yards someone managed to open and inspect both pannier bags for valuables without me noticing. Now i sit in my squalor, enthroned by my trash i have no heart to clear out, with my cat glued to me and knowing i caused all of this and know not one person ive told what happened today believed me.

Yeah dude, don't give up this close to the finish line. I mean, as long as you can get yourself there, the other issues can be worked out. Supplies? I'm sure we can find an Amazon locker to ship things too. Worst case scenario I'm sure you can find a bike out there. I'm sure someone is willing to take care of Rosie for you too. But you have a free ticket out of there man, take it. Also those tickets are non-refundable, so dude. Seriously

Sorry if there was any confusion, thisquote:When the chips were down, i chose to leave behind my cat, my life, everything i had and chance it that severely unsupplied and unprepared without sneaking off anything to "save for later." Was meant to specifically highlight that i had one of two choices, all in or fall off. A meant full commitment no matter what, roll the loving dice and see if they come up fourteen, B either meant letting go of the last real hand still holding mine as i dangle over the abyss and watching everything suddenly getting further and further away, or spinning some insurmountable conflict and a story of no seriously lets do this and hope AI manages to absorb the total loss i just decided to toss Larry's way The world I find myself immersed in hasnt stolen that much from me yet. But holding myself to a higher standard and letting it take the little nothings i managed to scrape back up over and over while society paints me wifh the exact same brush can only possibly go on for so long. Somethings eventually going to give. And i really dont have anything left worth giving any more.

I am as rigid and unyielding at this point as a titanium girder. If the world trade center had been made of my erection, the death toll of 9/11 would have been limited to the passengers and crew of the planes and the poor rear end in a top hat running the sabrett cart on the sidewalk. God's speed, 14, we have absolute faith that you will outshine the very sun.

If my inlaws can ship two paranoid cats halfway across Australia, Im pretty sure we can organise to get Rosie shoved into a cat carrier and shipped across the US when dick gets to florida. Its only someone else who has to listen to her bitch and moan. Rooting for you man, If you can manage to get a beanie to Australia just in time for summer, im sure you can pull this off!

I wish I got laid off so I could join this party. Also, it just occurred to me that Rosie being on the bus is going to mean that this thread has come full circle from last time AI's holy warriors rode Greyhound. Before, they were the Disturbed, now they are the Disturbers. Someone is going to have a life story of why not to ride Greyhound and it will involve a Seattle to Nebraska ride with a fellow passengers cat.

Have just returned from 14's place with a couple of Jeep souvenirs, and some other bric-a-brac Dave can't take with him, all of which is going on the walls of my garage. I'm also holding onto his toolbox and what's left of his tools, which we'll use to get him some cash once the itch goes away. You made a good choice by not selling or trading the tools, Dave. Happy for you. Goonspeed!

Is there an online account/gofundme type dealie available here? I'm pretty broke as gently caress, but not so broke that I can't afford to donate 20 bucks to the cause. That'll at least get Dave a hot meal or a couple packs of smokes. When I'm slightly less broke as gently caress, should the saga be still ongoing, I can probably toss in another 20 or so....

wesleywillis posted:Is there an online account/gofundme type dealie available here? Standing order from the mods - and frankly, pretty important to recovery plans - was that we're not sending Dave any more cash. Adabiatic, I assume this remains the case? I'm happy to help organize food / supply drops and / or prepaid cards though, if that's going to be ok. e: to be clear, I'm not asking folks to donate anything. If people want to help out and mods are alright with it I'm volunteering to do some coordination, is all. ee: step 1 is Dave getting on that Greyhound tonight, which despite my utter lack of religion, I am close to praying for.
