As a lot of you guys know my financial problems. Well we we're loosing the house this Saturday, and can't afford it so my dad's gonna be moving in to some other crib out here in Rockford, as for my mother, as well as myself we're gonna be living on the streets again. As far as I'm aware of my sister will be living with her baby daddy. I don't know where my mom's gonna go, and well myself I'll be doing like I did before when I was on the streets.

I hate to break the bad news, but I thought I should mention why I won't be on here for awhile. I'm giving my friend Eric my laptop, and stuff so I know it's safe, and my mom won't pawn it.

Anyway I don't know when I'll be back on here, just thought I'd tell you guys.

hey hang in there Mike. we will still be here. Take care!

sorry you are having such a hard time but i have faith in your ability to overcome adversity. i hope it wont be too long until you are back.

Hang tough Speed. Dang, what rotten luck. I'm rooting for you.

yikkes.....stay strong

I have lived on the streets before myself...not fun.
If i ever had to do it again, i can at least make a few pennies playing my guitar.
You should hang on to your laptop..you can use it free wireless at Burger King and the like.
Mike good luck with whatever happens man.
I am praying for you.

So sorry Mike; whatever happens, God speed to you and your immediate family. Just wish you well and maybe some opportunity expresses itself to you soon.

Mike,
Been there myself when I was younger, and came close to it years ago. We muttled through it and I'm sure you will too. Sending prayers and wishes for health, a place to live and better finances in the immediate future!

Hope all goes well for you mike, I am sure it will.
You didn't mention your Wacom tablet. I hope you put that in safekeeping too until you get back on your feet again.

I've been on the streets too, Hopefully it won't last long. If the mods want to block this it's their choice but I WILL keep you in prayer and will put your post on facebook and other people will too. I'm a state over and too far away to do anything else but if I was closer we would do more. Be strong, this will only be temporary. Some day you'll be an old guy and remember the hard times you went through. i know from experience.

I have heard of people being successful in business even while homeless

you have to look at each situation as an Opportunity

Good luck, we all hope for better circumstances for you.

I'm sorry for your situation in your life.
All I can say is, keep your optimism and hope for the best.

The Gimp Chat Staff has absolutely no objection to having someone say they are praying for someone.

Religious discussions, on the other hand, are not allowed.

That's why I don't engage in them.

Mike: Sorry to hear about your housing situation, that has to be gut-wrenching. Are you still working?

I am keeping you and your family in my prayers.

Thanks Guys!

I'm going to be staying at my hommie Eric's house for a month. His dad said I can stay for a month that way I can have enough time to get off my feet, and such.

During this month I'll still be on here, but less than usual, and I'm sure you guys can figure out why.

To answer your question mahvin. I'm unemployed. I still do computer repairing, web design, and such for extra money out here as well as donate plasma, but that doesn't cut it.

Anything is better then here. Our unemployment rate is so low it's not even funny.

It's gonna continue to get low though, and more people loosing jobs their gonna haft to do what they need to, to get money. Whether it's selling drugs, jumping some kid, and jacking his bike, then pawning it, but that's everyday life out here. However deaths have been increasing a lot sense last year. I remember last year we only had a page, maybe two at tops in the obituaries. Now there's 4 pages.

I'm on the edge of putting my crap into a backpack, and just hicking my way out of here with little money I have.

Very sorry Mike; trust me when I say that the whole nation's going to pot. Michigan does have it worse then most other states though which is really bad. I do have a solution, but don't want to get political but I will add just hang in their and remember that friends do help each other and I'm glad that you do have friends that can help. Hope an opportunity arrives soon for you too.

Thanks

Best of luck Mike! Of all people I know, I am sure you can make it through these ruff times
