Late night ramblings

[Deleted]

i did that once -- the train wouldn't take dogs. I had a young dog that always strained on the leash. so i wore some sunglasses and pretended the dog was my seeing eye dog. my hair was pretty wild and ungroomed so i passed. then the conductor sat right in front of me and looked into my eyes (behind shades). i stared at his ear hoping that getting thrown off the train was not in my near future. I had been holding out a fare for the train. he said to me that i could ride free.

felt guilty about that. but it was really fun.

Sorry to hear of your difficulties NBisH. I wish you well.

Where are you currently located?

Thanks, St. Louis
Well to you also.

I wish you well, too, NBisH.

Did you check out the link in fortunity to the intentional communities website? There are 56 in Missouri, although it says most are "forming". www.ic.org

It's the only way that makes sense.

Thank you all for caring. If nothing else my heart feels a bit warmer and that's a good thing. As long as I have internet here I will make the efffort to upload what I can for the group. In a little while I will not be here as I am now.
Much love

Maxz
yes NBisH, that sounds extremely tough in a dual sort of way. probably ZD's advice still is the best.
Thanks

Hey there NBisH, I'm really sorry to hear you're having a tough time at the moment. It sounds like you're being really challenged to engage with society on it's terms (money, food, travel, accomodation) rather than yours. There is a lot to be said for trusting the Universe, but there's also that phrase about God helping those who help themselves.

Anyway, good luck, man.
Peter
Thank you dear Peter and your PM

Yes, it can be tricky finding that balance. There have been times when I have discovered that trusting means getting off my a** and taking drastic action to get myself out a hole. Its a funny old thing.

Thanks, being drastic enough to rob a bank but then I would feel so bad for the ppl I made fear me, not to mention with no car my getaway would not be fast!

My dog of thirteen years showed me that dogs really are man's best friend, but not landlords
100%
Yes they are and no they are not.

Hopefully you don't get bogged down with the "woe is me" syndrome, it will cloud your vision.
Thanks and agreed

The idea of what you 'really' should be doing is a good one to pay attention to. Just keep asking yourself what you should be doing and looking around for the answers. Sooner or later you'll find one.
Thanks I try not to use words like should but I do get you.

Runstill
I thought of the same thing before. The problem is my dog is a little to active to be looked as a service dog.
But thank you.

Yes it was on the IC site that I found fortunity.
You are correct most are forming or are simply not there anymore.
Thank you
