I wonder if he was thinking of all his gay friends that died of aids, when responding quickly for his first wish.

Do you currently know anyone homeless or has been homeless. Kyaela and bill lowerre don’t count. I think they are both dead.

I don’t know anyone homeless now. I have known people who were homeless or went through periods of homelessness. I’ve even been quite close to some. I don’t know if I’d ever have called myself homeless but I’ve certainly not known where I was going to sleep a few times in my life. I always found something, though.

That series of videos on homeless people has really enlightened me, by the way. I have watched dozens of them over the last few months. Incredible to see.

The actor reminds me of mel Gibson. With significantly less money and it seems less psychotic. Although. That was a 6 minute glimpse.

I don’t know any. My sister would be close if it wasn’t for my parents. I do wonder where my wife would live without me. She could probably manage. I have never been close to homeless.

So how’s married life? How did you meet anyway and at what point did you know?

Are you asking me or Reg?

You. I lived in a shelter on a voluntary program for 15 months btw.

voluntary?

Yes it wasn’t ordered.

Oh it’s going well. She is depressed. Like over half the population right now. Tough times, but we are good. Thanks for asking.

We met through a friend but first met bowling.

Which neither of us have done for 3 years.

spending billions on military and other nonsense while we dont even provide basic needs like food and shelter to our own people… a disgrace!

Do your parents ask why you still aren’t a doctor?

My mother actually thought I should have gone for MD. I might have been a good doctor, but I’m glad I didn’t

My wife is a doctor.

Medical?

No. Education.

I’d like to average in myself with some severe brain damage if that’s okay.

At 17 I got in a fight with my mom and left to live in my car for 2 1/2 weeks, in the Summer, in Arizona with about 110 degrees every day while I saved enough money to get a studio apartment. Ashamed to say I stole lunch meat and bread from the grocery store and siphoned gas to survive. I washed up in a gas station sink every morning before work and took a few showers at the high school locker rooms that were open for Summer recreation.

My apartment was utilities included and I maxed out the AC as I liked which was really nice because even at my moms all I ever had was a swamp cooler. Still starving, as a last resort I called my grandmother about 30 miles away, my dad’s mom who I had not seen for many years and she invited me for dinner then sent me home with pans and other cooking utensil and a couple sacks of frozen, canned and other foods. Don’t know what I would have done without her.

Grandma was a great lady, very smart, never judged but was great at giving me guidance and the only person in the world that I would stand and take a lecture from. Still makes me laugh thinking the shocked look on a girlfriends when she witnessed me take a lecture from that woman. I can’t imagine my life without her and miss her dearly. She was so proud of everything I accomplished - things I would have never done without her guidance.
