    Poison Ivy/Poison Oak

    Had it multiple times. Usually picked it up near small streams, or rivers. If it gets too bad, on crotch/eyes, head to clinic for a steroid shot. Should be gone in 3 days with steroid shot. If you have a mild case, try some oats and water to dry out. And if access to shower, alternate...

    Calling all dumpster diving friends

    I do my divin' in the early morning; I bring gloves, a little head lamp, and I know what dumpsters to hit. Depending on what day it is, I'll bring in Odwalla protein drinks, pizza, fresh sandwiches, and so on. It's hit or miss according to weekly business cycle: Monday - Weds = low waste...

    Accuweather. The "minute forecast" is useful. Bloated with ads, but tends to be accurate.

    To greyhound or not to greyhound?

    A few years back I was stranded in Wyoming. They changed drop offs and rest stop info that wasn't quite synced up to their website. So there was confusion among passengers. I wasn't the only one. We had to spend the night at a truck stop, then they radioed ahead to make sure there was even...

    McDonalds burgers for a dollar!

    $3.99 for a nutritious meal, is not bad. And I"m right there with ya on nutritional value bang for back. It can be tricky though depending on which part of country and city you are in, at least here in U.S. They are strategically placed there. I've lived all my life in cities from Bronx, NY...

    Bay Area Camping/Car Camping

    Berkeley has been going through some issues by the marina. Bringing heavy police force. I think there is some court battle going on over RV's vs. Public space. Police are active there. GGP remains crowded with tourists parked, but you can sneak in, find a place, and park for the night.

    How did you find a place to settle

    Settling, in the sense of establishing "roots and all that", depends on where you came from, and what your family ties are. If you came from a broken family, like many here, you will likely be looking for a long time. My advice: pick an area where your skills can be of use - this is most often...

    The most random place you have fucked while traveling

    I wasn't traveling at the time, but the most random place was in a 5 X 5 storage. She was a big girl. I happened to have an office chair in storage, and sat down in it while her big ass adjusted for optimal penetration. The door was incapable of closing tightly, and we could have been busted...

    Veteran Dog Tags

    Worth wearing if you have no ID. Folks can identify you if something bad happens. Used to wear them when I first got out. Now they're in a box in a storage. But it was also part of my "moving on", which everyone handles different. If you want to wear them, put them on, and wear them. It's...

    should i have done it?

    It's a good sign if they ask. You can at least say no, or ask for more money. It's the ones that scheme you have to watch out for. If you've ever been drugged and taken advantage of, you know what i'm talking about. But yeah if you needed the money, would have negotiated a higher price...

    Wash your socks and shoes whenever you can. And use coconut oil on your feet (if you can afford it, or steal a jar). Steal, or buy foot padding. Foot padding is located in the health and beauty section.

    Why Christians Make Terrible Employers

    With background checks, there really isn't a standard. Some go back seven years, some are combined with credit reports, or a U.S. social security trace. It really seems there is no hiding from the system. However, what I think the old guy did was look up your information in the state court...

    Hi all

    Hi everyone, I'm 33 and have been in and off the streets since 2008, with the longest stint being a year and eight months. There are several factors that opened up that door. For one, it's never something that I wanted to do, or planned to do - it was a matter of poor decisions, lack of a...
