    Not sure what you mean by "booted" ... maybe I can help though you'd need to clairify. :slight_smile:

    Oh wow. Hmm that's a tough one. Is there any way you could get a job by then? Have you been applying? If that isn't possible, what about a family member or friend you could stay with for a while until you get on your feet? That would be my best advice. Is there any way you'll be able to stay with someone else until you're on your feet again? I hope so. Good luck. (*hug*)

    Hi there! I'm sorry to hear that your parents are going to kick you out if you don't find a job. I do think it is a bit unrealistic of them to expect you to find a job within 3 days! Have you started looking for a job? Have you been looking for a long time? If not, have you tried talking to them? If all that fails, and if your parents do kick you out (which I hope they won't) is there someone that you could stay with, a family member or a friend? Maybe (as Gerry suggested) that would be something you could look into at least until you found something that will allow you to support yourself. I'm sorry for not being able to give you more advice/help. I do hope though that everything will turn out alright for you.

    I'd offer you a job at Full Spectrum, but there's a little problem... Full Spectrum's funds are, have been, and will be zero, so............

    Hey Mike. We've talked online...

    If you're desperate, general labour type jobs can often be found through local placement offices or temp agencies. Or what about landscaping?

    >>>Umm, I just applied at a few really possible places.

    A FEW?! At this point, if you're not applying at at least twenty places a day, you're slacking, my friend.

    Dude, I am, I found some places where I talked to the manager and got along really well yesterday, thats what I meant by a "few really possible places".

    I have been applying everywhere, out everyday, waking up at 5am to drive my dad to work in to morning, so I can use the car, so I can get a job. I'm not slacking, "My friend". dont be so quick to judge.

    Ummm. Is it me or is there a little tension?
    It sounds a little harsh for them to put you out.

    Do they want you making money? Maybe you could find some volunteer stuff? And continue looking for a paid job.

    Mike... This may sound "whacky" to you but you can't expect others to be in control now. It's either "do or die." Dying is not at all that bad, for once dead you don't have to worry anymore. But, if you want to live then exert all the power you have hidden within yourself and strike out! Do what will make things happen. Struggle, bleed, and don't depend on the stupid advice on this site, including mine! Except. of course, that you are in command if you want to be. Sounds ridiculous, does it not? You have to begin to cut the umbilical cord and assume command. No one is more powereful than you to make changes. Jesus-goddamn-Christ! Arise to the occassion and do something. Stop complaining (it's not worth a damn) and use your wits. Or, ARE YOU TOO STUPID to depend upon yourself? I have shown you that I have faith in you (more than I have faith in a God who cannot deliver), and I expect you to perform to not only save yourself but to save those others who need you.

    That sound like some "tough love". Maybe the same approach your parents are using????

    TO BECKYG: PLease let me congratulate you on your take for inds. who are trying so hard to find some advise. You are, in my book, a definite influence that may lead many a person to accept that, despite the fact tha YOU ARE NOT YOURSELF GAY, you are willing to accept those who are. In that, I say, you need support yourself. So, Let me say that I support your efforts in this regard. Paladin
