View From the Sidewalk: September 2006

View From the Sidewalk. The continuing adventures of a formerly homeless but still poor family through the landscape of the Piedmont Triad. Just a few quick hits. Finally moved all our stuff out of the storage unit* and am in the process of getting everything either put away or thrown away. In the meanwhile, the apartment looks like Hurricane Katrina and her little sister Bebe swept through. But at least Ness has all her toys back, and the moths left Mama's clothes alone. Get Thee Behind Me, Murphy.

View From the Sidewalk. The continuing adventures of a formerly homeless but still poor family through the landscape of the Piedmont Triad. The Fires of Winter. I was watching the local news a little while ago* when they aired a report of a homeless man who was badly burned over half his body when his campfire went out of control. The News and Record mentions it here. In a shelter for some reason. As though it was assumed that "well, he's homeless, he should go to a homeless shelter.". No, no one can for...

View From the Sidewalk. The continuing adventures of a formerly homeless but still poor family through the landscape of the Piedmont Triad. Chestnuts Roasting on a.Oh, Wait. That's Me. But for now, some updates: Thanksgiving went without a hitch (except for the inevitable refereeing of the kids) and I even got the turkey right (for a change.) It usually comes out very dry. This year I dumped most of a can of chicken broth into the turkey before I closed the oven bag. Succulent and delicious! Could be wor...

View From the Sidewalk. The continuing adventures of a formerly homeless but still poor family through the landscape of the Piedmont Triad. I don't think I'll get a chance to post again before Christmas - now a scant 52 hours away - so I suppose I'd better make this a good one, neh? What a difference a year makes. The store had adopted my family for Christmas and gave us the presents today. I was absolultely overwhelmed at the amount of gifts my co-workers and managers had collected for us. And a...So so...

View From the Sidewalk. The continuing adventures of a formerly homeless but still poor family through the landscape of the Piedmont Triad. Thought I'd spend a few moments to acknowledge and address some of the comments I've dug up around the Web about the blog. I'll do more as time permits. First off, I'd like to thank everyone who offers prayers, links to the blog, words of encouragement and hope. These intangibles are more meaningful than you think, and more appreciated than you know. One commenter wo...

View From the Sidewalk. The continuing adventures of a formerly homeless but still poor family through the landscape of the Piedmont Triad. Another One Rides the Bus. After that last business, how about something positive to report, hm? According to the website, it'll take thirty days to review and review/deny a new stop. I just hope someone (especially one of us) doesn't become a traffic statistic before then. Posted by Cybermancer @ 6:29 PM 1 comments. And thanks to all you guys for keeping me honest.

View From the Sidewalk. The continuing adventures of a formerly homeless but still poor family through the landscape of the Piedmont Triad. That Sense of Belonging. To make matters worse, the Beast have begun his annual campaign of reminding me how good past Christmases have been compared to the one that's got its laser pointed between my eyes. Ah," you say, "But you're working, you're family is intact, you're no longer homeless.". All that is true, but I don't feel as though I. From this point on unders...

View From the Sidewalk. The continuing adventures of a formerly homeless but still poor family through the landscape of the Piedmont Triad. Escape from the Cult of Personality. Well, I hadn't planned on posting today, but after I read jnccarol's comments to the last post, I felt the need to defend myself. To wit:. You've gone on long enough without comment in this vein. Who made you arbiter of. The sanctimonious tone of your ranting is disappointing. After all. I ain't a saint. Read about here. I'm d...

View From the Sidewalk. The continuing adventures of a formerly homeless but still poor family through the landscape of the Piedmont Triad. For instance, just to get to work, I have to take the West Market Street bus downtown, transfer to the West Wendover bus, travel to another transfer point out West Wendover, and get off the bus near the store. By contrast, the bus from the apartment runs only once an hour, and the nearest stop is a half-mile away. On weekdays. On weeknights and on Sundays, th...Anoth...

View From the Sidewalk. The continuing adventures of a formerly homeless but still poor family through the landscape of the Piedmont Triad. I'd been dutifully ignoring the signs since September 1st; ignoring all input related to the coming event, refusing to watch any promos or previews about it, not even listening to the odd bits of music that chirped about it. But lately, I've finally had it shoved straight into my face. It's Christmas, fergoshsakes! How can he be so Grinchy? Sure I somehow manage to p...
