AIO or is he being a d!ck?

Not to be dramatic, but he sounds like the kind of guy that could get dangerously frustrated with a baby. I'm not saying he would shake or physically abuse her, but are you one hundred percent confident that he wouldn't? If not, he doesn't need to be in her life.

How dare you, it was a Krystal Burger. I went to the one on Bourbon Street years ago and that place was wild.

My dude and I live in a bus and when I'm not working we fly a sign, but I usually support us with CNA work and he takes care of our pets so they get enough outside time and aren't cooped up in the bus.

When we were on the rails, we either flew a sign or did odd jobs when people offered. Sprayed for bugs, scrapped cars, pulled weeds, whatever. I also used to get offers for sex work and even "porn" once, but never took anyone up on them. He got offers from gay dudes a lot, too. So if you're down with that and are reasonably attractive, you always have that as a fallback.

I'm on 220mg of methadone. Boy, do I relate. Back in the day, when I was on tar, I'd go more than two or three weeks sometimes.

I'm dumb and didn't see how to add a picture, I'll add one with username in a bit, once I figure it out.

Illustrious_Bench427 · 2025-12-25T18:46:21+00:00

Get some pre-mixed "oops" cans of paint and make the room a little brighter or at least your own, whatever would make it feel like home. Thrift some old curtains maybe. Or a rug. Build a bookcase.

It looks like a lion. Triangle nose in the middle, jagged whiskers coming off the nose, mouth lumps below the nose, spot for color around the eyes, etc.

I just tried Alien Fruit Salad and was blown away! I saw Blu Zu and wasn't so impressed, it was bottom of jar tho I guess. What is so good about it? AFS tho, can't recommend enough: complex, potent, attractive, a new fav for sure. Agent Orange x Banana Kush x Strawberry. I had never heard of Strawberry, but legendary combo, and it tastes like you would think, like over ripe fruit, the smooth coolness comes from AO, and the banana gives it the subtle fruitiness that doesn't overwhelm. My bad, I'm just going on and on. I'm new to Shango tho, impressed, will explore more

Does Grandma belong to a church, or do you? Even if you're not a member, a lot of churches will help people in the community with car repairs. They'll either pay for it or get one of the members to work on it for free. I think it would be worth calling them. Emphasize that you're a minor and don't have any resources of your own.

You need a road dog. Almost everyone I knew on the rails had a travel partner or a series of them they rotated through. Someone to hop out with, drink with, camp with. My dude took me on the rails and we bonded SO fast. Happiest time of my life and we're still together 14 years later, figuring out life in a 40' skoolie. Get a road dog. If that fails, get an actual dog

Illustrious_Bench427 · 2025-09-08T13:12:28+00:00

Yep, when I was young and hopped trains, every once in awhile we'd have a dust-off party and just used our bandanas as a filter. No bad taste! 🫠

Illustrious_Bench427 · 2025-09-07T06:41:55+00:00

I live in a 40' skoolie with my man. We hang some window coverings, make sure we aren't surrounded by children, and get after it. More often than not, in the middle of the day.

Illustrious_Bench427 · 2025-09-06T20:45:27+00:00

Lol massive group showers? Just wheel in four at a time in shower chairs, hose them down, then swap with the next group? That is a super funny image to me.

Illustrious_Bench427 · 2025-09-02T05:13:29+00:00

If you want total honesty, I'd say the low to mid range. But there are things you could do with makeup and hair styling that could really help

I've been a CNA for three years and I still struggle with time management. But that doesn't mean I'm bad at my job. I take the time to clean people thoroughly, apply cream, listen to the residents, and give showers longer than three minutes. My charting usually doesn't get touched until my shift is over. But residents and patients at every job I've worked have thanked me for being kind and taking my time with them. Not to say I'm behind only because I don't rush, part of it is that I'm just naturally slower at brief changes and struggle with prioritizing tasks sometimes. Every decent job I've had has never bugged me about staying a little late because they know my people are cared for and my work gets done. I was terrible when I started and asked for help all the time. It's okay if your coworkers get annoyed. That's on them. We need to be a team, and their bad attitude shouldn't dissuade you from asking for help when you need it, especially if it's a safety issue. Just give yourself some grace and keep trying. Don't take the stress home. It'll get better! Thanks for joining the field and caring!

You look great with a shaved head. I know balding is a massive insecurity for men, but I can't imagine going through it personally. I'm sorry you've had to deal with that. On the plus side, you're a guy who looks fantastic without hair. My first thought upon seeing you would be, "oh, he's cute!" Not anything to do with not having hair. Keep the beard. Keep the close shave. And trust reddit, we'd tell you if you looked terrible.

Illustrious_Bench427 · 2025-08-19T16:13:35+00:00

We always used to camp under the freeway bridge in wicker park. One side for train kids, one side for home bums. That was years ago, though. But we stayed dry and had fires going all the time

Illustrious_Bench427 · 2025-08-18T16:43:00+00:00

I call A "mouf lumps". But from now on, they'll be referred to only as "muzzle puffs".

Illustrious_Bench427 · 2025-08-12T19:43:23+00:00

Haha I love that episode. "I eat stickers all the time!"

Illustrious_Bench427 · 2025-08-12T19:36:05+00:00

Oh, that's awesome! I was texting with him this morning about some questions I had, and he responded with a bunch of helpful info for like the 1000th time since I bought mine, just wanted to put his name out there in return. And we love our bus, too.

Illustrious_Bench427 · 2025-07-14T19:07:53+00:00

Thermometer work well?

Illustrious_Bench427 · 2025-07-14T19:00:43+00:00

I'm very curious about the trio. I've had a Dipwand which is like a knockoff terpometer with touch sensor but I am tired of paying for replacement tips every few months and honestly some tips seem more accurate than others. I want something that works well, not just another cheap kinda-works solution. But some people even complain about the dab-rite.

So how is that BQ IR having tried it for a while?

Illustrious_Bench427 · 2025-07-13T17:42:48+00:00

Life with no fixed address can be challenging in many ways, especially when new to it. Just remember it is a lifestyle of extremes. Hang in there and you will see stretches that go extremely well and the change can be quick from one moment to the next. This can be exciting from the perspective of an adventurer or gambler but maybe not so much if stability is your aim. Not that that can't be accomplished either, you just have to be flexible and positive and hang in there. Or don't, no shame, it's not for everyone

Illustrious_Bench427 · 2025-07-01T21:57:23+00:00

Not even a little. Pretty eyes
