I’m sorry but what? I have no reason to scam. I have no reason to lie. I have no reason to embarrass myself and put my situation on blast. Do you know how embarrassing it is to admit you’re homeless when you try so hard to make it look like you’re doing fine. If you message me I can show you whatever you’d like for me to prove that I’m homeless. I have dialed 211. My stepdad was the only family I really had. I’ve been going to gas stations and taking bird baths in the sink basically. I’m not asking for anything but to figure out where I can go or what I can do. You don’t have to be mean. I have no reason to lie.

Yes, it's powder coated, except the glass tabletop, I had a fire in the patio last weekend, and you never know in CT. I'm always ready for a beer and a firepit night.

Sorry I should’ve added more info. Im in Waterbury. I am not working but I had an interview at Walmart yesterday so I think I should be working soon. I used to eat at least 2 times a day before this happened but lately it’s been slipping my mind to eat. So I’d say about once within 2 days something small if I can afford it. I’ve been getting headaches and have been feeling dizzy when I stand up fast. I forgot the name for the word.

I've used mint for 3 years and like it, just north of you. Good coverage almost everywhere I go, iirc, they're 5g up to Chippens Hill. Hotspot usage of your phone is included. I use T-Mobile for my home internet, and the nice thing about using 4-5 G instead of cable is I bring my modem in my motorhome and get wi-fi without using cell phone data.

Reply to comment by gatogrande in First time gardening by mak83s

Ahhh. Moisture retention. Got it. I’ve had issues at least early with too much moisture, slugs and some mildew. Every year it’s been a new issue. Last year I didn’t have a garden for first time since having a yard.

Maybe this is a scam, I don’t know, but I have a little time to kill, so:

What part of the state are you in? Knowing that will let people make suggestions that you can actually drive to. Are you still working? How have you been eating since you lost the house last month?

Give us a some more information, it’s hard to give advice with what you’ve written here.

No, I don’t. At least where I work, employees are very clear that our job is to support the company by ensuring we are adhering to employment laws, our employee handbook, and by working to attract and retain talent by creating a good place to work. Luckily, adhering to employment laws in place to protect people and retaining talent are best achieved by creating a safe, pleasant workplace with good pay and benefits, so I don’t find that my job is often at odds with helping employees. The only part I have really hated is having to lay off employees in the past, through no fault of their own. But at the end of the day, I work for a business and those are business decisions. That’s why I tell people I know that they don’t owe a company their loyalty - it’s a business relationship, not a personal relationship, and that is true on both sides. Do what’s best for you and move on if you need or want to.
