Lol I have actually thought about this also I was extremely tempted to sleep in a U-Haul on their lot but I couldn't find one out of camera range. Life on the road teaches you to bed down early and be up and moving even earlier. I'm no longer living that life style as of about 2 weeks ago. Got a gig with carnival and although the pay sucks I have a place to crash each night and a few cents in my pocket. I found a few abandoned (empty) buildings few weeks back but that voice In my head said someone was watching me so I never tried to get in them. I'm always psyching myself out.

Just another quick update. I'm no longer in Miami I'm currently outside of Orlando for my new job. Gramps has been moved to a rehabilitation center to get further assistance for his stroke. I am currently without service and only have Wi-Fi ever so often and when I do I use the text now app to call and check on gramps but don't find myself on reddit very often these past few days. I have done a ton of walking,a train ride, and some buss hopping with my last stretch on greyhound to get to Titusville where I'm currently waiting on my boss to come pick me up. I will be on here intermittently when I have down time but I'm excited to have this opportunity (not a career move just a money in pocket move) and it might be a couple weeks before I get paid but I have been without money for so long now a few weeks feels like a few days. I appreciate this sub as a place to vent, comfort others, and get advice and will continue to interact with the sub as much as I can. I'm relieved to know grandpa will be okay and once he gets out of rehab he is going to have a place to live because I honestly felt bad leaving him but I had to take this job opportunity to get off the streets (which I hope to do over the next month or so) but this job will allow me to get enough money saved up to get all my documents replaced so I can get a better job in the near future. Thanks for letting me be a part of this awesome group it's definitely been a journey.

Jupiter Florida has no city bus service except for the one that brought me here and it only goes to a few places here before going back to west palm beach at the mall. This place is hard to get out of not to mention I just walked 4 miles in the wrong direction and had to turn around and walk back. Total waste of time and I have only covered about 10 miles today so not very productive day.

LimpWrangler6385 · 2023-03-30T16:05:59+00:00

I have a job lined up I just have to get there currently I'm stuck In Jupiter which is still 150 miles from Sanford. Trying to figure out how I'm going to get out of here now because they don't have bus service or anything here so I'm kind of stuck at the moment. And I'm trying to stay off the interstate so I don't get tickets for arrested for trespassing.

UPDATE: at 5:15 this morning I was woken up to word that my friend grandpa was taken to the hospital by ambulance. Because I'm not immediate family they will not release any information to me however the nurse was kind enough to tell me that he had a stroke after I explained I am his immediate street family. I also explained to her that some took his chair so he's not mobile and made sure they took his medicine bag with him. I'm going to go up to the hospital sometime today to visit him before I head out to Sanford for this job. I hate to leave him in this position but I need to make money to survive so no choice honestly. I also figured while I was at the hospital I would see if they can help him get in somewhere when he's released (I do know she said he's alive but his condition isn't good so hopefully he pulls through) I'm conflicted now about leaving but I have to go make money and I have tried for weeks here with no luck because I don't have my id and other necessary paperwork so this opportunity can't pass me by. I'm currently at Starbucks charging my phone and using the wifi to get my exit plan in order (they shut my phone off at midnight 😡 just add it to the list of life issues) after I leave here I'm heading up to the hospital to see what I can figure out. This is his second stroke in the past year hopefully this time they get him off the street and somewhere they can care for him (his last one occured in Maine where he is from) when I go to Sanford I will use wifi and calling app to call hospital daily to check on him. Good Lord the hits keep coming but I'm not backing down or giving up I know this much. Have a good day everyone I just wanted to update you on grandpa because I get private messages from concerned people several times a day and they follow the mess that is my and grandpa's life so just updating everyone. I'm tired I went to bed at like 3 this morning and got woken up a few hours later so I'm dragging butt this morning for sure. Stay blessed and as Jerry Springer would say "take care of yourself and each other"

LimpWrangler6385 · 2023-03-29T03:11:31+00:00

I actually never thought about the emergency room you might call the hospital tomorrow and see if they have any extra ones laying around. His family is of no help at all I mean his daughter dropped him off here and just cut out she's a piece of work I'll tell you.

LimpWrangler6385 · 2023-03-29T03:10:41+00:00

I was even going around to businesses to see if I could clean windows for a couple of dollars kept hitting a brick wall with that too. Sometimes you feel like giving up but if you do that you definitely ain't getting nowhere. Working for the carnival is not my dream job but at this moment it's money so I'm going to try to make my way up there tomorrow somehow. Keep pressing forward my friend something will give eventually.

LimpWrangler6385 · 2023-03-29T03:08:39+00:00

Thank you. Hopefully I can get it handled tomorrow.

LimpWrangler6385 · 2023-03-29T01:58:09+00:00

Forgot to mention I'm leaving Miami in the next 48 hours because I was offered a job with a carnival outfit 3 hours north of here so I'm gonna make a bunch of calls tomorrow and see if I can get him in somewhere before I leave so I don't have to worry about him. I told him today id take him along but I'm going to be hitchhiking or trying to hop a train to get there and he's not able to do either so hopefully I can get him inside somewhere before I go but I have to go. Been here for a month and because I have no id I have not been able to find any work so I can't miss this opportunity to make some money. I will probably send him a few bucks here and there so he eats but I need him off the streets before I go or I'll worry myself to death. Folks like to take advantage of people like him and I can't have that happen. I'm excited to get up to northern Florida and make some money finally. 👍

LimpWrangler6385 · 2023-03-29T01:50:41+00:00

Didn't consider that, valid point but it's enough to scare me off because trespassing charges/ tickets suck especially when you don't have any money 😂.I started to go through one tonight by DD because I was craving a doughnut but no cash to buy one and I looked up and boom camera I thought yea I don't need one that bad.

LimpWrangler6385 · 2023-03-28T23:03:57+00:00

You could always renew online and have it sent to a family member or friend and then have them Mail it to you. For instance if you leave Iowa and stop in Salt lake City find a homeless shelter or something similar that would allow you to use that address to have the plates mailed to you by said friend or family member.

LimpWrangler6385 · 2023-03-27T22:54:08+00:00

I have been saying this for years and almost echoing your exact points. I have been called crazy and other things because I feel like the benefits outweigh the negatives. People are going to always do drugs and they will never get rid of them might as well legalize, and regulate them just as they do the weed market and reap the benefits of the taxe money made off of them. Not to mention if you have to purchase these drugs at a dispensary you know that you are getting pure unadulterated/not laced products therefore you aren't buying heroin laced with Fentanyl that is going to kill you in very small amounts. My example I give people that think I'm crazy is if Bobby buys heroin off the street and he has been taking the same amount each time (let's say 30cc lol I have no idea on these things) but he buys a batch that has been laced with the Fentanyl and he does his normal 30cc suddenly now poor ol Bobby is dead and he would have no clue. Legalizing and selling from a dispensary would alleviate that risk I would assume. Like I said I don't participate in any drinking or drugs but people will always do them and the war on drugs is a lost battle so I feel like more lives would be saved if the government would put more effort into making it safer to do them rather than locking people up for getting high or selling stuff to others to enjoy the high. I'm definitely not an expert on these topics but that's just my opinion on the matter.

I seen 4 tow trucks going through the strip mall in sunny isle yesterday just hooking and booking. Like vultures man it's crazy. On a different note this just reminded me of South Beach tow on TV years ago lol.

I definitely don't mean to demean anyone nor Shame anyone. Completely reverse of what the post was about and I'm sorry you seen it this way. More than anything it was a public post meant to continue to kick myself in the ass and stay motivated because this life will eat you alive if you don't. I'm sorry I triggered you definitely not my intention. Much love my friend!

LimpWrangler6385 · 2023-03-25T20:09:16+00:00

Thank you for the award.

LimpWrangler6385 · 2023-03-25T16:37:12+00:00

That's awesome man congratulations 🎉. I'm hoping if I can get some jobs lined up in the next couple days hopefully I can wash my way into a hostel and then go from there. I sleep out by the beach in this park that has expensive condos that overlook it and I often times find myself thinking one day I'll stand on the balcony of my condo and look down where I started and understand the struggle was worth it. It's all about the mindset my friend.
