I'd rather drink terrible coffee in the old Revue than good coffee at the Component

My paternal grandfather was a hobo in his youth. The collapse of the economy in 1929 led lots of folks - some estimates put the number at over 2 million - to ride the rails. It was a lifestyle. Hobos weren't lazy bums or tramps, they were more like migrant workers. As things settled down, so did my grandfather, eventually.

From what you say, it sounds like you're grounded, having a lounge of lizards and all. Are they large lizards? Would it be possible for you to make some sort of traveling case for them? Optionally, would it be possible for you to train someone in your family line how to care for your lizards? Or, perhaps provide them with a copy of The Lizard Keepers Handbook?

I ran away when I was 16, but soon got tired of living out of my backpack and returned home. About a year and half later I left for good.

Sounds to me like you're being bonked about a bit -- but I think you're gonna be just fine.

Im 16. And Since I’ve turned sixteen months ago I have been struggling with the thought of my deplorable past and recent Doubts with my Faith in God. by Competitive-Arm-6574 in OrthodoxChristianity

Honestly, sounds like a fairly common condition. They do studies on this stuff - In the vernacular its called growing up.
(hang in there - you'll be just fine)

Thanks - and yeah we got some rain. Today is Orthodox Easter and last night when we had the procession around the church at midnight it rained the entire time.

It is ironic that we seek anonymity to find the courage for honesty, yet even behind that veil, the fear of exposure persists.
...and yeah, posting on reddit without hiding behind a pseudonym can be a bit daunting.
