[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 571071, member: 1514"] No, Ohio isnt any warmer than Denver this time of year...lol. I was thinking warm! For the life of me I cant figure out why homeless people want to stay in cold climates and I do have some experience with this. I had an aunt who was a rather famous homeless woman in a suburb of Boston for years. She was a rather said figure because at one time she was a very successful woman but then she got hit by a bus and dragged for over a block and received a severe head injury and she was just never the same after that. That was so many years ago before lawsuits happened and she ended up just losing her job and living on the streets after getting out of the hospital. I believe the town was Medford but not completely positive. The rest of my family is from Reading and she lived a few towns over. She was quite the character. I think she died when I was in my 20's. She refused to go into shelters because she thought people would steal from her. Once in a blue moon she would let my dad and her other brothers pay for a room for her but not often. She considered that a handout and she didnt want that. Instead she panhandled and picked up cans. Her brain just was so messed up after the accident she was never the same again. It was so sad. It was also so sad because their other sister has severe epilepsy and has never been able to work along with severe juvenile diabetes. She is still alive as far as I know. I havent heard from any of them since my father died and I doubt I will. I wont know when any of my uncles die. That makes me so incredibly sad. I love them so much. [/QUOTE]
