I picked up a Hobo on the Highway again; he's in my guestroom

That's fascinating.
Now I want to see Mad Men.

:bateman:

Good for you OP. I really admire you. Everyone is so selfish these days, and this was a true act of kindness. I've always found that these kinds of actions are not only very rewarding but they reply and multiply the blessing back to you 3 fold.

I wish that I could say that I have done the same but I have not. You've inspired me though.

TRAIN IS CHEAPER. COAL IS CHEAPER THEN GAS..

That isn't a hobo. It sounds like he has been working on his story for a while. Getting rid of him may be a problem but I wish you luck.

Hobos are on railways, dolt

I wasn't aware we had the power to do that if we regret a thread.

Maybe OP likes fucking hobos.

It happens, weirdly

He actually has better resources than I do, money or not.

U are a leech stop pretending

The question on everyone's mind is...did you fuck him yet?

Here's what happened. He was with me an entire weekend, about 4 days. Had his own room, cozy bed, DVD player and movies. It took until Monday/Tuesday to figure out he wasn't all there. He started to complain about little things which blew my mind. He didn't know basic social graces and was sloppy. He's been on the streets off and on since 15. Lost all his teeth by 40.

Turns out he's illiterate, can barely read or write. He had extreme PTSD and ADD.

He just wasn't well enough to be helped with just food and shelter. I dropped him off at the Mens shelter and have no idea what happened to him after that. Nashville has endless resources for people who accept the help, so hopefully he found someone who got him back on meds.

He wasn't drug or alcohol addicted, so he was an excellent candidate to get help. The issue is in order to get medications these people have to commit to living somewhere and they don't want to. They want to wander. He should be able to maintain his meds without being held prisoner in his own country.

This is true for all of us and all meds, before 2013, you could fill a prescription nationwide. Now it has to be within the state the doctor prescribes. Thats what got him in trouble, he left his last residence then lost his resources. All he gets is a disability check deposited into an account once a month from the Gov. Well they should "deposit" his meds as well the same way so he can get them wherever he is!

Our system is broken in every aspect. It comes down to the same thing; agree to be a prisoner and you get needs met. Seek freedom and you lose all.

Or hobos like fucking OP…

At least their are programs for them. And it’s gets complicated when they go from state to state. So they have to stay. There are worse things in life. Glad you tried to help.

Craigslist is hardly a thing anymore, now it seems to be Facebook Marketplace. Walmart or Costco could sell tents fairly cheap.

I'd like to wander more but I am tied down to our family house. It costs me no rent to live here, if I "wandered" I would have added living expenses.

So being tied down isn't just a thing for the homeless to receive help. It's extremely common.

Sounds like an okay premise for a reality TV show Picking up transient hitchhiking Hobo's' and see what different kinds of situations unfolds. Maybe call it "Hobo Highway" or "New Home for Hobo" etc

needle check

I picked up a Gypsie from Walmart again; he's in my RV.

No water or AC until he gets my fortune right. He didn't come with his own crystal ball (sigh, incompetent), so I had to give him a bowling ball instead. I'm sure it should work pretty much the same.

Glad you were able to get him somewhere he might get some help, and out of your house without incident.

Taking in mental patients is risky business.

Yup.

You never know when they will snap.

God bless you

u did what u could OP
ur a good man/woman

The system is what it is.

He is broken.

And you are broken as well.. I have seen it time and time again in your posts here.

You are not very bright and extremely lackadaisical for someone your age.

You have a lot of growing up to do and no time left to do it.

Go pick up another hobo. It makes for great discussion.

Entertain us with your hobo hosting, OP!

"Hobe for the Holidays"

No no you got to eat the rich their well fed and have a lifestyle similar to veal. Homeless people have parasites and deseases. I should know I'm one of them.

You are the very best of our so called civilized society and I pray your intentions materialize as you intend. If we had more like you we wouldn't have the societal issues we do.

If he has mesothelioma he's no around much longer.
