That is not what I said at all. You can post anything you want on the forum. This is not my forum and I am not a moderator. I only asked you not to ask me for any advice or help from now on. If you quote me, I will ignore you, that is all.

Without getting too personal in my life history, I will say what I feel regarding Aqualung's situation since I have been there.. He is a very bad place that I would consider worse than being homeless. I have been in his exact same situation multiple times in my life. It is very uncomfortable and will effect your well being to live in a situation like that. You fear coming home to find out what B.S you are going to have to put up with. It is horrible. I even have left places like that to live in my car because at least I had my freedom and self respect. It kills me that Aqualung is having to go through this now so prayers from all city data members is appreciated. I am getting a 322 sq feet studio so I will not be able to help him this time if he passes the 3 month deadline his sister put on him.

Aqua, All i can say is, if someone offers you a place to live so you can find work and get out on your own, do like thecuse said: Make it a full time job to find a job. Be grateful that someone took you in, do not expect it to be the ritz, and do not expect much. Just work like heck to get on your own, get a studio apt like lvd is doing. A job at Mcdonalds would pay for one of those and they are hiring around the valley plus they offer a free lunch. While you are working, then look for a better job. That's the way it works. Get anything you can get to get started.
If you don't want to live alone and want to live with someone, like a roomie, be honest about it and set out to do that. You can then live in better conditions, sharing a house and paying your share equally.

Is it right for them to constantly to insult and belittle me? That's not tough love.

The majority of my experience is in the hotel businesses, but my brother in law says that I shouldn't bother because of a certain medical problem.

Of course not. As I have lived with you I understand what you are going through. As you might remember, I never once pushed you to look for work when you lived with me.

It's not easy to live with others when you are an adult. However, when you are living in someone's home you are subject to their conditions and it's not right that you expect living there on your own terms. After college I went back home for some time until I could figure out what I wanted to do. It was annoying to give up some freedom and privacy but that's what comes with living in someone's home. My parents would constantly ask where I was going what I was doing and would often offer advice.

You have to decide if you value complete freedom/peace or living with your family. As much as I love my brother it would be inconvenient if he stayed with me to live and it would bother me if he was not diligent finding a job or making progress.

You mean well, but there is a lot more to it than you know. I am sure your brother is not in the same physical shape as Aqualung is which is going to make getting (and keeping) a job very difficult, especially in this economy.

Who has been to Blue Man? I have 2 tix, do I give em away or go with my hubby? It is a full time job to get him there but would he love it?
Went to Miss Universe and what a waste of my life. Love the beauty but the show was a bust.

LVD: It would have been a bit hard to look for work while I was at your place. All I had was the clothes on my back, which was a t-shirt, and a pair of shorts. Not exactly proper attire for interviews.
