[QUOTE="Lil, post: 642296, member: 17309"] Well...it was just a thought. :916blusher: Dinner actually went okay. He griped. And griped some more. He did not suggest coming home, which I was actually afraid of after today. He didn't ask for money again. I may possibly have gotten thru to him on the phone it wasn't going to happen. He talked about Xmas presents for us. I told him under no circumstances was he to buy us junk...he needs to open a bank account and save money for an apartment. He wasn't too phoo-phoo about the talking to the head guy at the shelter...though he did say he didn't think there was anywhere else he could sleep...but he's worried more about getting kicked out over some minor infraction and not having any place to sleep days. I mentioned a really cheap ($260) efficiency apartment neat his work...he didn't like that...but really, why does he need a bedroom? Whatever...up to him. He did ask about buying the car he used to drive. I pointed out that owning a car means having the expenses of car payments, gas, maintenance and insurance and he'd be better getting a place where he can walk for now. I don't think we're comfortable selling him the car now. If he'd been on his own and doing right for the last year...but that's not what has happened. [/QUOTE]
