Oh I've considered it, but this ain't like where you live man...still takes money and a vehicle and I got neither. Haven't driven in 22 yrs, don't even have a license. So, no way to move all my shit, much less live anywhere else.
I'm a single 54yo male....not much in the way of opportunity.
$800/mo. isn't enough to live anywhere, but I manage. I couldn't manage being totally on my own, I'd go insane like my father did...by 60, he was delusional and paranoid.
Well, ... I haven't driven in forty eight years. Oh, a few times here and there behind a car wheel just to attempt learning it. But never held more than a learner permit. I can drive forklifts, various other small craft, tractors and such. But not driven cars as in to drive.
Hm. Too late for me on insanity. Already there. I'm listed as depressive, chronic clinical, and generally anti-social with a NOS (Not Otherwise Specified) diagnoses. Also got shell shock (PTSD) but no one wants to write any of that up as a "disability" for me. Nobody wants to list me "officially".
Think they're afraid I could likely hold a PHD or Masters in psychology, fix myself and sue them. And well, I nearly do have that *points to his head* up in there. Had to as I lived with someone that was insane.
Age thirteen, I had read our local college's full psychology department curriculum. Nothing else to read for me at that point anyway. I had devoured our school libraries, even religion and philosophy. So got put to college level stuff.
But yes, I understand, there's not much around here to go do. We got work if you're lucky enough to find it without needing to go out of state. Um, no movie theaters, no skating rinks, no bowling alleys. Got some places to go stand and wet a fishing line but if you ain't boating you ain't catching. Reckon I could hunt deer but no real point when they suicide bomb cars.
So no nothing really to do unless milling around wal mart is your "thing". *shrugs* We stream using a Roku. She tries watching those ghost reality show/dramas until they get too damn painful with their drama/stupidity.I usually wind up getting suckered into chick flicks, feely good or rom-com movies, tv shows.
But I don't suffer my "insanity", I embrace and enjoy it. *chuckles* Fuck 'em they can't take a joke.
Oddly, I'm looking forward to hopefully going back to being a custodian/janitor part time for the schools. I can get dropped off, picked up, transported betwixt by family. The consensus being "you got work, we'll get you there and back". Reckon it helps I drop a bit of cash for fuel at times.
And I don't see much "opportunity" around here either, for lack of it, or for lack on my part. I'm always considered non-skilled general labor. Been thinking on going to a local VO-Tech to get certified for carpentry but I dunno.
