What is the longest you've ever lived in a tent or the woods or a makeshift shelter?

@cherokeepatti damn ! i feel for ya

@FurryFace I survived but when I say that the man was crazy you better believe it.

@cherokeepatti yep i believe it alright

@FurryFace I was 7 years old at the time, my mother had gotten out of the hospital with pneumonia about 2 weeks before that...and we had a house to sleep in with a wood stove. I don't know how crazy people think and what the purpose of that was.

@cherokeepatti oh that sounds like a nightmare. I'm talking about going to school that is LOL but I'm sorry you had to go through that

@Jibby we went through a lot with that man creating chaos and heartbreaks.

@cherokeepatti you can't figure out Crazy , it just will never make sense

@FurryFace You got that right. I don't know where he got it though. I think his grandmother or great-grandmother must have been raped in an Indian Boarding School home and he got the genes from that ancestor....I really have wondered about this most of my adult life how he turned out the way he did when his family was hard-working, good & decent people.

@cherokeepatti that's okay my father would spend time with me and my brother a lot.. He'd take us to Belmont , Aqueduct and a lot of other race tracks as kids. So he could hang with his wise guy friends. He'd let us run freely around almost like he wanted us to get kidnapped. Yes racing horses the sport of Kings... And all you meet is nothing but degenerates

@cherokeepatti a roomate kicked me out once right after i payed him my share of the rent and he used the Police to do it , he lied about the situation for sure , the cops even threatened me , i was shocked , he was quite the manipulator , i tried to find out years later what it was he told the police but he won't tell me , just says he was sick then

@Jibby Mine would tell us to get ready that we would go to town and shop or whatever so we'd get cleaned up and dressed in good clothes and sit around in the living room so we wouldn't get dirty and wait and wait for him to come back home to get us. Sometimes he didn't show up at all till after midnight, drunk. Sometimes he would get us and first bar he passed he'd say "I think I'll stop and have a drink"...even though it was illegal he'd bring us into a dark bar and we'd sit at a table and he'd order us each a 7-Up (cause Cokes weren't good for us) and maybe a package of beer nuts, which we learned to play with and put in our drink to make them last longer...watch him drink about two dozen beers, we'd ask for a second drink after maybe couple hours and he'd say "all that soda pop isn't good for you"....have to get up and use the bathroom in a toilet with a pool of urine all around it...geez what a life. At least you got to run around and play, and yeah he didn't care, we'd run all over the village or walk for miles in the country but things I guess were different back then because people weren't hovering over their children all the time.

@FurryFace strange the police wouldn't tell you...there are laws here in most states that you can't get kicked out by a roommate unless there's domestic violence or whatever, the situation has to be heated. Even a free-loader if you've let them come and stay has rights and can't be kicked out without notice and time.

@cherokeepatti yeah I definitely hear that. My mother who wasn't considered a bad mom. Would let us sit on the edge of the door to the car while she was driving with our heads outside. And Hands On The Roof but she was very careful she'd only do about 30 miles an hour when we were doing that. And trust me every kid I knew was doing stuff like that in the neighborhood. I think New York City Folk how did Tuff the generation before us. And they wanted to get back at the World by putting us in the hospital

@Jibby Wasn't it Red Skelton that hopped a train as a young teen and went out on his own making his own living? Things were definitely different a long time ago. And even when we were kids.

@cherokeepatti the Police were complete assholes to me except 1 that asked whats happening and i had no clue really , i think they found out later on he was just using them with a big lie whatever it was , there was like 20 cops in the apartment

@FurryFace should have given you a reason at least...I watched COPS last night and a woman called the police for an attempted rape. The police came out and the man had a witness...the woman was hysterical and saying she had been raped twice before and was tired of it and she kept crying and screaming. The man said she asked him for a ride, he knew her before, he took her home. He was sitting there calmly answering questions. This other man was a neighbor and saw her breaking her window and throwing something at it and she had told the police that the other man had broken her window, and she had attacked with a fork and had injuries all over his back. Then she started kicking the police and got arrested herself. Men better be real careful giving rides or whatever you never know what someone is going to accuse you of.

@cherokeepatti not sure I know who he is but didn't really watch him or anything. I'm a Beatles Baby

@cherokeepatti in Quebec if your name is on the lease thats what matters mine wasn't

@Jibby He was a comedian who had his own variety show in the 1960's, loved it.

@FurryFace sounds like something the French would do, haha

@cherokeepatti reminds me of a Judge Judy case , this lady had a complaint about noisy neighbors but because she had a rent controlled apartment judge judy wouldn't listen to her and said she'd just have to put up with it , i thought that was really stupid of judge judy although i liked most of her decisions

@FurryFace something needed to be done with the noisy neighbors. I've found when they've stayed up all night making their noises that I can treat them to some of my favorite noises about 30 minutes to an hour after they've gone to sleep, and keep doing that for most all of the day. They learn a pretty good lesson about how easily noise can travel....think wet vac being turned on for about 5 minutes under their bedroom and then turned off, drawing a bow over a viola really slow, telephone ringing on and on, etc. Mix it up quite a bit.

@cherokeepatti i had a neighbor that played his music really too loud and had parties until 5 am all the time , i complained numerous times at the main office , he found out about it then started slamming his front door all the time , finally he moved after 2 years of this crap

@FurryFace I got accused by one neighbor of turning him into the city for noise violations and it wasn't me. We lived in an 8-unit building and every person could hear his noise, one time he got into it with a neighbor and the neighbor called him a crack-head, which he was cause I smelled it one night. He got kicked out after the manager got wise to him.

@cherokeepatti i watched some show years ago where you could phone these guys that would show up at the noisy guys apartment with baseball bats and say hey turn it down or else , lol don't know if they still exist nowadays
