Geez i bet whineandcheese wont say hello to any of us again but hello try to get along

 Nah, I will still say hello!  It wasn't quite the reaction that I originally intended when I made the post, but I'll take it.  We've really sparked some conversation!  I am at least glad to offer a different perspective on the economy.   :)

It would appear that many people have given her many ideas. If she chooses to let them lie there, then that's her buisiness. I, for one, would check them all out and be a bit demanding, after all-- it could make a difference for the rest of her life.

Whine.. Just to let you know.. I have emailed some contacts that I have in your area.. I will let you know what they say if you are interested in getting off the streets.

the day job gets in the way

Of course I am--Thank you!

Did you follow up on Housing First? The link I posted?

Yah i hear ya i was just laughing at the way she was just saying hello and then it all turned into a great debate, and i really hope it does all work out, I think we all feel the same as to we dont mind helping out when it is needed

why would someone live in a cardboard box if they can work and get a room mate and get by. , lorelie i have compassion for anyone who needs help, but i find it hard to feel  sorry for someone who wants to be homeless , hanging out in libraries and train stations, i also have no compassion for a woman who has 3 kids before the age of 20 with 3 differnt sperm donors.

wow, I would be surprised at your lack of compassion for anyone but yourself, however because of you elite position in life (white male I'm assuming)  I guess I can only laugh at your ignorance.

As you may have guessed by my avatar I am a black female, grew up middle class and I have been blessed with good paying jobs all of my life, however I know that I am one catastrophe away from being were some of my less fortunate friends are now.

I pray that it never happens to you petergun, but should you ever find yourself in a precarious position of need...I pray that the person that has to help you back on your feet is nothing like yourself!

 

I dont know what to say I have typed several different things on this thread and erased them...all I want to say, is no one has to be on the streets.
