Is it possible that someone here could get me a ride somehow from San Francisco to Portland , Oregon , or somewhere similar close to that ?
I just want to get out of this going-nowhere situation in San Francisco , where I am just in endlessly growing smaller concentric circles , and start on tryting to go to community college somewhere else , to build credits to eventually go to full-flegded residential college , uni , somewhere else - The idea of doing it in San Francisco is dead (and rather tied in with going to uni in California , which is not possible for me given the opinion the California state university systems have towards me ~ They will not , I believe , let me in) , am I am just trapped in this nothing , with that lead/mercury in these shelters getting to me , making me murky and tired :( .
I just want to get started on something else ! 8) :) If someone could help me try to move in that direction , by arranging a ride for me , I would be much-obliged...I am just getting ever-older :( and sicker :cry: .
If I could just get a ride to Portland , where i could start from there - Or , conversely , if someone has some other suggestion for me that involves things improving down here somehow :o ?

Are you still homeless? I can't remember if you had found a place,

Is there a reason you have to live on the west coast?

If you could find your way to my part of the world, I would try and help. I know these streets and while I can't have people on the Internet sleeping on my sofa, I could make sure at the very least that your not sleeping outside thinking about the human condition because that is not helpful for the record.

Wonderful, I'll gladly take you under my wing and I don't care how bad of idea people think that is.

Some of the places you need to go here are bridges long since burnt for me so I'll be outside.

Do you have a way to text, I'll PM my number. Bus tickets here are about $120. Can't do it until the 3rd, find a rock and barrow under it. Really I can't do it then but when there is a will there is a way.

Patience is all ask, you might not get a whole lot better at first. I might can get you 90 days in a place that is pretty comfortable but I can't be seen.

To be clear, I was not implying being dishonest in any way shape of form... I am not manipulative and to get this good and out of the way, I do don't do either lane of dishonest.

I don't believe anyone said you were implying that.

I'll hand over the reigns to you to help ASS-P and just follow the progress, which I hope is plenty.

Good luck to you both. I'll hand over the reigns to you to help ASS-P and just follow the progress, which I hope is plenty.


No publicly not, I read minds, you didn't know? lol

Thanks, I'll probably need it :mrgreen:

Absolute worse case, I'll make sure he isn't alone and feed. I am not doing anything important and my kitchen serves the bus stop :mrgreen:

Its not like I do anything here, oh and what do you know, I have two cell phones :mrgreen:

If you're able to give ASS-P one of the cell phones, that would be fantastic. He could really use one. He has a tablet now, so can get free wi-fi at various places. Hope things go well up there.

Google is your friend. Although I didn't end up helping him at all, it was not through a lack of trying. I found basically all of my resources through Google searches, so if you take the time to type 'this' and 'that' into Google (or another search engine), hopefully you can connect him with local resources if he needs them. Since you're going to be in the same city as him and have a cell phone, etc, that should speed up the progress of any help he might need.

Great, thanks 8)

Helping him can also go on my new year resolution,

ASS-P....

If your still around the only things I'll need from you is honesty and I have very thick skin, the end goal here is independence, I want to teach you to fish more then I want to feed you fish, remember that and all is well.

...I will say this .
It is certainly possible that I will follow up on TC's kind offer .
However ~ I will have to see .
As the original bent of this post implies , too , the cost is a large factor , for anthing I might do .

Indeed, I'll look for resources in that area but I actually have an even better idea.

I am actually in need of assistance, I believe we can help one another out actually. I have no transportation but I need packages delivered to a post office near here pretty consistently. How about payment for honest work? If you do decide to come here then instead of a hand out. Why don't you help me by delivering these packages? They will be completely legal and you can look at what you are transporting, I will be heavy into tech trade this next year, it will purely be tech parts.

While you consider that though, I'll leave and see if anyone has anything better. I'll PM as pay day comes and goes, much :heart: ass-p.

Also... Of the two, you would probably do better buying food. Social anxiety and isolation to my level is extremely hard and you don't even have to walk to the post office, I'll pay bus fare so long as I don't have to get on it. Yes, listen, be painfully honest without yelling and do the external tasks needed in my life and I'll get you an apartment in a 2-3 year window.

ass-p,

If you are considering me as a real option which I intend to be then please note, your entire life in my inbox would be very nice, left nothing out, I can't judge, thanks.

I am reading every post you have ever made.

There is possibility that came to mind that I might be able to help even with your original goal of going north...

But its not pretty nor is it a great thought.

My brother who... has problems... is out in the west and our relationship isn't getting worse and with a promise to never interact with his worthless life ever again which is fine by me, I can probably get you a ride. He has a car but I totally would not trust him, he has friends and I would trust them less.

Also for the record, I would love to have someone near me to go to college with.

You are more valuable then any problem you pose, a struggle alone is selfish but a struggle with others is worth remembering.
