[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 738887, member: 19522"] Hi all. No word on Tornado, she did not try to call me this weekend so we are back to square one, just wondering what’s up and praying for a pivot point. Thank you Lil, I so much appreciate your prayers. Rent here is sky high. A lot of it has to do with the explosion of AirB@B rentals flooding the inventory. I can see how some folks end up houseless, all it takes is illness, bills piling up and missed payments. There are places that rent rooms, even small rooms go for upwards of $700 monthly. I think the analogy with hoarders is spot on. It becomes a normal way of living for them. It seems that the homeless have their own communities and territories for their dumpster diving. Listening to Rain awhile back, she had a schedule she stuck to for her rounds, before anyone else got there. It was in a sense, like a job. Reminds me of hobos back in the day. Drifters. I don’t know if she even thinks about all of the work she does to remain status quo. The city has random raids on parks and throws everything away. I don’t even know if she has her ID, ss card, health insurance. I have heard that there are outreach workers who try to help get folks back on their feet. Hopefully one day soon she will tire of living this way. I have stopped asking her about it when I see her. It is a dead end conversation. Thank you LBL for sharing your experience. I feel the same way about money in her account. She will just use it to trade. Thank you LBL for taking the time to post. I send back love and thank you for your support. I will look for your post. It is always good to see progress and hope for our beloveds. (((Hugs))) Leafy [/QUOTE]
