    Hey Jerod.

    Hey bro, take it easy. I understand that it is easy to get frustrated in the moment, but sometimes it is just a matter of timing.

    I don't check this forum every day so . . . .

    I (we) have an organic farm in colorado. If you think you can farm with one hand i would be willing to talk about it. You can PM me if you like.

    Yes Jerod, you need to have patience. Posts don't always get immediate replies.

    Also, you removed your orginal post & no one can read what your story is. If I'm remembering correctly, you said that you were in a wheel chair and your mom was threatening to place you in a nursing home...if a nursing home is an option, then you must require an amount of care which some people would not be prepared to offer...me, for instance, I live in school buses which are not handicap accessible; the amount of heating and cooling available in my home would not be healthy for someone with impaired circulation, a problem for many paraplegics; and it is doubtful that you would even be able to get down the path leading to the buses as it is rough and could tip an electric wheelchair. Other folks on this forum are road dogs don't have permant housing. For you to say that folks here are 'wrong' for not immediately offering you housing, is, IMO, wrong & rather immature. It seems to me that you need to explore options available in a city near where you currently live...is there low-income housing for the disabled; will you be eligible for home care-giver services... Enable yourself and you won't be at the mercy of your mother.

    yes i was upset w the first and mad w the edit, calling everyone who might read that 'you people' was shortsided, BUUUUUUUUUUUUUT, <----a big but, do you know how much traffic these forums get, "For you to say that folks here are 'wrong' for not immediately offering you housing, is, IMO, wrong & rather immature." I'd say not immediatelly offering help is very, "wrong & immature." What rules are we going by when we do not IMMEDIATELY help other ppl out UNTIL IT HURTS? I'm so glad you saw my original post, did not respond, and returned later to lecture me... It makes my point so beautifully. This life is a veeeeeeeeeeeeeery small part of eternity. To be so selfish with it "is, IMO," the worst mistake we can... scratch that... worst mistake we have made.

    Yes I have a very good idea of how much traffic this forum & the other HipForums get

    To offer inadequate shelter to you would have been irresponsible and could have hurt you more than just emotionally. And really, I check these forums everyday but I do not open every thread...a quick run over the forum shows the beginning of each thread...I didn't have time to post the first time I read your thread

    And notice, how you glance over the fact that I offered you suggestions on how to get out on your own. You also ignore that others made offers & chose to get on my case instead. You know what little bro, I have a lot of life experience even if I am a few years short of being old enough to be your mother. I have been the motherly mentor to many homeless young folks and I'm pretty sure I have earned the right to lecture...if I didn't care, I'd have ignored you all together.

    Now quit whining & find out how to help yourself. Find out if your mother recieves SSDI for you! Call the number Soaring Eagle left for you &/or hook up with disablity advocates in Dallas! Call Adult Protective services and tell someone there that your mother is threatening you with a nursing home and it is causing you mental stress...they will help you get into a place of your own and hook you up with the assistance that you need to be on your own. Brother, you are only as crippled as you chose to be...take an example from Soaring Eagle, he's a bro does not let his chair get in the way of anything. He isn't disabled, he differantly-abled!

    Lovin' You even if you're pissed off at me for being real with you.

    Slow down bro. Some people may have to consult others to make arrangements (roommates, landlords, friends living elsewhere, etc..) before they can make decisions. IMO, how on earth is someone going to let you in and help you out if you're going to act childish? You need to give respect to get respect.

    why do some ppl think they can speak for everyone? And you dont know what i've "glanced over" you don't know my situation u just assume everything, this thread is done, if you want to argue do it amongst urselfs, aim your quotes and ur IMOs at eachother, and to u thanks for the help, u will be rewarded, although we have been told to do these things in secret ;), speaking of secrets: Can the body live without a head, a house divided cannot stand, do not tell the right hand what the left is doing,,,words to live by...brother.

    wow,, i hate to say,,after reading one arms original post,then the edited one and the follow ups.. theres no fucking way id want him in my home without a handicap much less one that requires the aid and attention his does..

    its not like everyone has room for a hospital bed and a hoyer lift.then add to that someone in a wheel chair with a attitude that they deserve instant assistance no matter what the cost is to you?
    WTF?
    i see why his mom is kicking him out.. his fucking attitude towards his handicap and others responsibilities for caring for him SUCK!!!!!!

    Most people can barely pay rent and keep a roof over their heads and feed their families.

    And then you just post an ad on the Internet and expect people to rush right to you and support you and house you?

    What a selfish jerk.

    Now I dunno what sorta needs you have, but have you tried calling letting agencies and asking if they have anything that's for example suitable for a wheelchair? Often they'll list things like 'disabled access' with the features of the property, so if I were you I'd ring round some landlords/realtors, check out Craigslist, etc.

    Help yourself man, don't just expect help from others. the world doesn't work like that.

    i dont advocate the government getting involved in peoplees busieness, but there is this thing called a peer advocate that does exactly that, they will help u find housing, get benefits and other shit from the government, u dont get like social security or anything, bnecuase i think getting a peer advocate and working on that would be the first step to getting ure very own home

    idk i'll check into both of those, i really don't think i can afford renting or owning right now though, there are communes that are made specifically for the disabled tho, im going to call around tommorow and see what they say.
