MasterGuns Posted June 19, 2011 #27 Posted June 19, 2011 James, I've never met ya but wanted to help anyway. PP sent. Good luck to ya.
Sailor Posted June 19, 2011 #28 Posted June 19, 2011 You mentioned veterans centers. Are you a vet? If so by all means go to them. Most are set up to help when needed. The legion here would never allow a vet to go needy and I assume it is the same there..
oldgoat Posted June 20, 2011 Author #29 Posted June 20, 2011 hello every one. i would like to say thank you from my heart for the monies prayers and such. yes sailor i am a veteran. and right now im at the liabrary waiting on a man from the veterans center. they will be brining me a food vocher for $75.00 and some basic needs like toliet paper shaveing cream and such. they asked me if i would be interested in helping other vets at a camp they call the clean and eat? its an old boy scout camp that is no longer used by the boy scouts they open it up on friday till monday AM they feed the vets vets only. and let them shower and sleep there and do laundry. but come monday there on there own till friday night. they close that camp. durring the week. they then ask any vet if they need to go to the clinic for treatment and such. all i have to do is help give out the food , towles blankets and pillows. about 2 hours per night 6pm till 8 pm fri , sat and sunday and i will be allowed to eat there as well as do my laundry. i will be paid for my service with a food vocher every 2 weeks in the amount of $35 for a total of $70 a month. and they got me help with a food link card? that gives me another $38 a month. so i feel as if im working for my needs and it gets me out tof this apartment . any ones once again thanks my friends. they are here and i must run. i should have my internet back up and running by tuesday thanks to all of you james aka old goat
Hulign Posted June 20, 2011 #30 Posted June 20, 2011 Keep up the fight James! When I was much younger and far more foolish I spent some time living in my car. It was hard then and can only imagine what it would be like now. I hope the extra bit I threw in your paypal helps make things a little easier. Take care and best of luck Frank 99hulign@gmail.com

mini-muffin Posted June 22, 2011 #42 Posted June 22, 2011 Glad things aren't too bad now. Ya know you can count on us. With any luck things will start looking up soon. :bighug: Margaret
Who Dey Posted June 22, 2011 #43 Posted June 22, 2011 Here's how i look at it. I don't even know Old Goat but he is a part of this family on here and is in a time of need. It would be real easy to just not help a fellow out and not think too much about it, but i thought to myself that God knows i sure waste money on things that are far less important than helping a person out that is in need and that is why i decided to help out. I would like to see some more people step up and help this guy out that can do it financially. Maybe donate one hour of your pay and appreciate the fact that you have a job and are doing ok financially. Maybe instead of going out to eat "just one time" that would cost you 30,40,50,or 60 dollars you could eat a can of soup that day or something else cheap and throw a few bucks Old Goats way. Just think about it folks and i promise you that it will make you feel good inside knowing that you helped a person out. I am not rich by any means, but i'm also not so poor that i can't help someone a little bit. If alot of people get together on here and just donate a little bit, it will help this guy out a WHOLE BUNCH. Another thing also to think about....it could very possibly be YOU that finds yourself in a bad way next. I would say that 90% of us on here are just a job loss or serious illness away from being in serious financial trouble or maybe even homeless.
oldgoat Posted June 22, 2011 Author #44 Posted June 22, 2011 the internet will be back on sometime thursday afternoon. i went with as cheap as i can go just basic tv and internet. as you can see im up early and here at the library as i cant go with out at least saying hello to this group. i have to go and check out the camp i was talking about latter tonight. to kind of get the feel for the place. i did not know that there are over 30 homeless vets in my area alone not counting about the same in the next county who come to this camp seeking help. kind of makes me wonder about how our vets are treated? i have to go for now. im not realy on my time for use of the computer but the lady here is pretty good about letting me sneek a few extras when no one is around but there at the desk getting ready to sign in for there use. i will keep ya all posted when i get back on line i cant promisse i will still be the funny oldgoat. but i will try.
oldgoat Posted June 23, 2011 Author #45 Posted June 23, 2011 well im at the library again and just checking in its pouring rain today. so i will be heading home soon just wanted to say things are getting a little better got a voice mail from cruising for a bruising? not sure if thats the right spelling? but the tracfone is down to 12 minutes and i couldnt get to it. i will buy a 120 minute charge up card tomorrow with doubble minutes it will be 240 this most of the time sees me through a month or two. im not much of a phone talker LOL just want to say the snail mail donations are comming in. and thank you to the MN guy Bubber. i got your letter and it did lift my spirit. sure wish i could have stopped by when i was headding up to brainerd MN to give my daughter away at her wedding but you where a few hours away. well time to check out the books give this computer to someone else to use. head home and read and just enjoy the rest of this rainny day. may god bless every one of you and keep ya safe james aka oldgoat

oldgoat Posted June 24, 2011 Author #47 Posted June 24, 2011 just an update pepole have been asking if i can get the funds out of my pal pay. and as of right now i can. tonight i go to the camp i was talking about. and do my work. for the things they gave me. they said they have some clothes for me a few pairs of pants. some new socks and a pair of shoes or boots. my internet is now back on but im up at the library now. just turning in some books and going to take my name off the list of pepole who use the computers on a daily basis. so once again thanks to all of you sorry im just not in the hummour mood right now. but give me time and i will be back to cracking jokes and poking fun again every day and night i offer up a prayer for all of you may you all be blessed today with health and the love of friends and family james aka oldgoat
OB-1 Posted June 24, 2011 #48 Posted June 24, 2011 Keep your chin up and keep putting one foot in front of the other and God will get you through this. As for cracking jokes; just remember that you can always start a joke at Bubber's expense. He's not the Rodney Dangerfield of Ventureider.com for nothing, ya know!:rotf:
oldgoat Posted June 25, 2011 Author #49 Posted June 25, 2011 im back for now:cool10: got the inter net back up and running thanks to all of you. just got back from helping at that camp. i did not know how many homeless pepole there are around here. and mostly veterans. we got them fed cleaned and settled in for the 3 day week end. i dont know why thay dont keep it open 7 days a week? but im guessing its because a church helps to support this cause? they have there women folks make up the food and we dish it out. kind of like an old mess hall? after eating they go take a shower if they want. then we give them a pair of sweat pants and a t shirt to wear and some shower sandles. so they can was all of there clothes. lights out at 10pm. dougnuts and coffee at 8 am im not there for that. then they get a sack lunch. mostly peanut buttter and jelly sandwiches an apple and juice, that keeps them going untill dinner time. today there was 32 pepole i signed in. it was nice to help them but sad too. im just glad that i can some how pay it forward the only way i can right now. i am looking at a low income rental place its based on a percent of your total income but im just not a high rise type of person kind of like that i can come and go as i please . the rental low income place you cant have overnight pepole no visitors after 10 pm. thats not for me yet. i heard from my workers comp lawyer and where up for a trial in sep. just trying to get this setttled.
Sailor Posted June 25, 2011 #50 Posted June 25, 2011 Old Goats don't pass on, they just keep on keeping on.
