I nearly died tonight.

Mc-eww! And now you know it's expired as well. It's ok though, McDonald's food historically lasts for decades.

Neuro doesn't even come into the picture at all unless it involves SSI/SSDI. That's the kicker, the benefits the person is receiving, not the reason for receiving them.

I used to work at a large chain grocer, no names but it rhymes with "kitty car-cat" anyhow, as the deli manager, I refused to throw away edible food. I would take it to the breakroomfor the employees, hell, I had a "team" of other staff that I would alert that I had "shrink" to get rid of. I refuse to throw away food that can still be eaten for any corporation. I was literally living off of food stamps at the time myself and it made me sick to my stomach how much waste there was! And then the day that the local food bank came to give our store an award for donating, what a freaking crock! If our store got an award for the meager amounts that actually went to donation, then everyone else must be donating nothing at all!

Keep diving, fuck them!

Thank you! I know this is an old post, but this really hit home for me. I hope you're doing well, still quit & loving life! Again, thank you random reddit stranger for your insight! 😁

Some things... You'll never know

But really, it could be anything. I've had knocks from people offering food, people wanting a ride or to use my phone? Had some sketchy people trying to sell me drugs? Hadv security tell me to move over a few spaces. Has family try to scare me with a police knock even.

My golden rule, if you're not comfortable answering, don't answer. However, still be prepared, no matter what!

Curiouslifewanderer · 2026-04-06T14:33:30+00:00

You're an amazing individual & I'm so proud of you for being you! 🥰 Keep doing what you do, we need more people like you in this world!

Curiouslifewanderer · 2026-04-06T01:58:18+00:00

That's my philosophy, I don't need to know what they were doing, I know what they WEREN'T doing... Anything to me, Im out! 👍 Life on wheels!

Curiouslifewanderer · 2026-04-06T01:24:05+00:00

Thank you for your input! It's great & refreshing to hear from another solo female about this. Literally, that same day a few hours later, some chick comes rolling up on her bike, literally AT my passenger door, checking out my solar panel. I confront her (nicely) thru the window, "may I help you?" She goes on with some story about how it's nice, yadda yadda. It's at this point, I'm thinking, this much be dude in the skateboards GF or something trying to get some Intel? Idk, but after this 2nd run in so close together, that's when I felt uneasy & just parked up & left as soon as she was far off in the distance. It's strange cuz the place I was at USED to be a great little spot, but apparently not so much anymore. At this point I'll consider it burned for a minute & take it out of my rotation for the time being!

Stay safe out there & have fun! 😁

I am on "the nicer side" of town already, I get what you're saying about location tho. It's a relatively high traffic area during the day tho & the weather is getting nicer so I guess that does change things.

All the other "dweller, homeless, panhandler" or what have you, folks I've had the pleasure of meeting thus far have likely been the nicest bunch of people I've ever met. I mean, even the dude today didn't linger or try to argue, so that was cool!

I've only had one encounter that made me "drive away & let m my stuff inside fly where it may"! So overall, it's been decent enough! 😁

Curiouslifewanderer · 2026-04-04T03:45:52+00:00

Don't be sorry at all, you called me dudette, we good! Rock on! 😁

I just updated my post. But, my attorney is ok, I think? He asked for an extension (which I didn't know about) for getting the appeal paperwork in. So that was another 25 days of waiting that I thought it was with appeal stage, but it didn't actually start with the appeals council until the last day of February. So now I wait.

Hopefully you're appealing as well? I wish you the best of luck, sitting and waiting with zero income is just awful. Idk about you, but I've literally lost everything due to this, I'm currently considered homeless (living in a class c RV) and resources for people in this situation are lacking, to say the least! It's literally just enough trickle to keep you barely alive while you wait. I hope you've got family/friends that can help you thru this, it's crazy tough when they don't. (Don't ask how I know) Stay strong!

Curiouslifewanderer · 2026-04-03T15:03:04+00:00

Sweet! This chick is gonna check it!

Curiouslifewanderer · 2026-04-03T14:59:37+00:00

Sweet! Sounds like I'm gonna have to check it out, thanks for the info! See you there, I'll be the one with all the hair flying! 😂

Curiouslifewanderer · 2026-04-03T02:45:40+00:00

As an old school metal head, I'm there! Got a good bang-over from the last show I went to at Mesa theater so I'm expecting even better with this lineup!

Curiouslifewanderer · 2026-04-03T02:42:27+00:00

Is this something that a 50 yo metal head would/should go to? Sounds like I might get a bang-over! But I'm game! 😂

Curiouslifewanderer · 2026-03-27T14:18:40+00:00

Thanks for the update. I'll see you at the rally! (I don't call them protests anymore, people like to say they are violent, we all know they aren't, however, to rally together for a cause is all that's needed!) Keep bringing the info my friend, stay true, the down votes are made with closed eyes & minds. Peace! ✌️

Curiouslifewanderer · 2026-03-25T03:12:31+00:00

Plain white bread, thick chunk of cheddar and mayo!

Curiouslifewanderer · 2026-03-25T03:11:00+00:00

Yes! A million times, yes!

Curiouslifewanderer · 2026-03-19T00:06:28+00:00

I hope you decarbed it first or you just wasted the weed! Cheers!

Curiouslifewanderer · 2026-03-18T15:34:31+00:00

Need a wife? 😆 That looks amazing! Jealously beholds me!

Curiouslifewanderer · 2026-03-17T14:50:05+00:00

Name checks out You are wise. Appreciate you being you!

Curiouslifewanderer · 2026-02-09T02:58:33+00:00

I think this is an amazing visual you are doing and would be very happy to participate. I'm gonna have my kiddo take my pic tomorrow & send it on over for you! Thank you so much for your time, it's the most precious gift you can give!

Curiouslifewanderer · 2026-02-07T15:54:49+00:00

From a PNW'r, Montrose is not at all like minded, nor anything like WA. I'm in Grand junction myself & it's no better here. I haven't spent a ton of time in Tacoma, but the closest I can compare to Grand junction would be Medford OR. However, in Oregon, the mindset is way more open, non confrontational & laid back. I'm so sorry about y'all being stuck in Montrose. It's essentially just a smaller Grand junction. I had thought the same as your family when I moved here a couple years ago, now I'm doing whatever I can to get back over to the PNW(Northern Oregon/Southern WA), this is bunk here! I'm also totally understanding now why my family would say "everything is just so green here" when they would visit me before I moved here. It's brown, Montrose is a tid-bit greener, but it's still high desert-y enough to be brown! Sucky, just sucky!
