[QUOTE="Lil, post: 640150, member: 17309"] 1. No. No one. There are some low rent apartments, that is what he's planning on getting with these guys. 2. No. Very small congregation. 3. Yes. That's where #1 comes in. 4. No. No one around here. Closest family is over 100 miles away. 5. Beats the hell out of me. He called tonight just in a [I]STATE[/I]. He's always been a person who I think gets hypoglycemic and he missed lunch because he left before they served and missed dinner. He signed up for a late dinner and they gave him a chili dog. You'd think a homeless person would not be picky, huh? Well that's what all the guys at the shelter thought too. He [I]hates [/I]chili. He eats hot dogs, burgers, chicken sandwiches, plain. No ketchup, no mayo, and certainly nothing spicy. So he didn't eat. By 8:00 he was just starving and practically hysterical. I admit, I went, mostly with the intention of chewing him a new one for the way he spoke to me. You don't call a person you want a favor from and yell and scream...even if it isn't directed at the person.
