I know a person that lost their dentures,their car and a car from the lot where they worked. Lost as in forgot where they left them. This person is allowed $7 & change a week. You can't even get a pack of smokes for that here. To return home is not an unreasonable desire, however the Powers won't let that happen because Montana does not want this individual back. Not a convict,simply suffering from dementia. What better place for this one to be for Thanksgiving than Home? It snowed again today. Sideways. As the traffic light outside my window disappeared, I noticed 3 people trying to crowd together in a niche in the side of a building. 3000 of these people "live" in my city. They are invisible people. I spent most of my day in a black mood and then my friend came over with the offer of a turkey dinner with their family. With all that I have, how can I be anything but Thankful. Upon occasion I find myself feeling that way.I can remember when I was invisible and could not begin to imagine living as I do at present. I will be warm and dry this year and plan to eat a lot of bird and remember to be Thankful.

I am 50 yrs. old and live alone,for which I am eternally grateful. I was chasing invisible mice with a broom in my home at age 23. Two yrs. later I was divorced and homeless. Numerous involuntary incarcerations,treatments,ECT sessions,and medications later, I found myself in lock-up at a military hospital in Washington state. An angel came to me in that place, in the form of my eldest sister and helped me remember my name. Her unrelenting determination and support instilled me with the fortitude to attempt to understand what the "Powers" required of me, before they granted me Freedom. I have learned how to stay out of trouble at great cost and have not been hospitalized in 9 yrs. I am 50 yrs. old and live alone. I write this not to garner sympathy, but to express what I cannot in the chat-room. My family cannot understand why I stay indoors and have just the 1 friend. I seek to communicate with people that will not avoid me the next time we meet and hope to find them here. Think what you will, but please don't down me if you don't care for what you have just read. I don't need any help with that...Maladroit   

I had no idea this was available...I found it by accident...I usually just go to my chatroom and try to talk to people...I am not a social person...But I do dislike being so alone...I don't have any idea what to talk about,but being in the room with you people brings comfort...Please be patient and perhaps I'll turn back into someone interesting...Thank You!
