I have a dear friend, who is about 70-80. He has had his legs broken in a car accident (he was a pedestrian) and now walks with a cane. He is still working in his own business, although I would assume not very well, due to his mobility problems and the fact that he is often quite broke.
I used to drop by and bring him food, but unfortunately cannot do so anymore, since I have fallen on hard times myself.
His home is very unsanitary and is piled high with boxes. He himself realizes that it is a fire hazard, thank god, and uses only a bathroom heater for heat, because he is afraid the other heater would catch the house on fire.
His roof has had a major leak and he now has mold throughout the house. It is bad enough that it is making my fiance and his mother both very sick even to walk to the porch. They have asthma and allergies.
He has roaches so bad that they even crawl on you when you come in.
His kitchen is so filthy, he has trash everywhere and dishes are dirty. I’m not even sure he eats in there anymore.
He also recently told me that he had been “hit” (by thieves) three times in one week. The first night (and I was there that night, and left before he got home, as I was taking care of his cats while he was out of town), I saw a suspicious looking truck park outside his house. I waited to see if they were going to his house, and when they got out and went across the street, I left. Apparently, later that night, they stole things off his trailer.
He has been sleeping in his van since that happened, and then last night, he was going to go to the bathroom, and his cats ran off all of a sudden, at the same time he heard people. He went back, and a truck was backing quickly through the alleyway.
Tonight, they stole things from his house WHILE HE WAS THERE!!!!
I am at my wit’s end as to what can be done to protect him. Please give me some advice or referrals? I’m afraid to call DHS or someone, because I’m afraid his house will be condemned, or he will have everything taken away and be institutionalized. He isn’t senile, he is just physically disabled and unable to fix these problems, and unfortunately, I am just about the only person he can count on, and I am unable to fix this enormous of a problem.
I think he should be in a “Independent Living” type situation, where there is someone to check on him, but not watch his every move, and where he can come and go freely, as long as someone knows where he is for extended absences. Someplace where he can keep his cats, but has to downsize his “THINGS”, which are proving to be very dangerous for him!!! He does still work, which requires travel, but he is unable to clean his house, fix the problems with it, or protect himself.
History help plz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

I need some help on surviving in the wilderness? Specifically, Alaska?
Posted by: | CommentsAlright. For years I’ve yearned to escape from this distraught society, to escape from the repulsive illusion most people live in, controlled by monetary value.
So, I’ll go live in the wild. Except, I’m not *totally* sure how to go about doing this. Err, don’t say don’t do it, as I am eighteen, and I’ve saved thousands of dollars for this moment. I’ve already began buying supplies, and my plane leaves to Anchorage next month. From there, it’s inward towards Fairbanks and from Fairbanks to the base of some mountains.
I do realize that I may die – I’ve no illusion that is actually the likely outcome. All I ask, is that you tell me everything you can that will increase my chance of survival.
I’m 5′ 9″ and weigh 155lbs.
So far, I have:
- Tent
- Two tarps
- Two insulation blankets
- Sleeping bag
- Floor mat 3/4in thickness
- Hiking boots
- Knife, one side blade on side serrated (approx length 1ft)
- Two pair woodland BDUs
- Waterproof insulated jacket/coat with hood
- Two set thermal wear (shirt, pants, underwear)
- Beanie
- Canteen
- 10/22 Ruger semi-automatic rifle (have 1000 rds)
- Savage .270 bolt action rifle (have 60 rds)
- Remington ? six shot long barrel 12 gauge (have 300 rds)
- You can tell me how much ammunition to bring
- Alice pack size med
I’m only going to bring two of them, you tell me which two. Three is just too heavy.
I do have months of experience in the outdoors, although less then two months combined of winter camping.I took a six week course over emergency first aid (and have an accompanying med kit for the journey). The area I’ll be in will almost never surpass -20F.
Things that I have on my list that I’m going to buy when I get to Anchorage (you can debunk anything on the list)
- Pot for boiling liquids
- Machete or Axe
- Icepick
- Rubber boots
- Fur insulted boots (these will replace my hiking boots)
- Waterproof leggings
- Fur insulted arctic coat
- A map and some wildlife books (and a compass)
- Fish net
Advice and tips appreciated.

Help trailering my horse?
Posted by: | CommentsMy horse is going to his first show in two weeks, he has been trailered before but usually not happily. It is crucial that he load on time this time. As we only have two hours to get him loaded up and drive twenty minutes away.
When loading, he will put his front half in and that’s about it. WIth too much pressure we won’t even get close to it. Unfortunately I do not have a trailer to practice with, they will just have it the day of drop off.
What I have been working on right now is, teaching him to walk past me and halt with basic forward and woah cues. I don’t see a whole lot of improvement.
Any tips or methods you have used would be helpful.
We have tried where you work them outside of the trailer and let him rest inside but he just will run circles for ever.
For the day of, we will have our trainer on stand by but hopefully will not have to call him, and I plan on using Quitexx (horse downer).
Once shut in the trailer he behaves fine, its just getting him in that is painful.
We have two options for trailers right now, either a three horse slant, he will travel with two other horses. Or a stock, where he would either travel alone or with a mini horse
It is a step up, we have tried ramps with him and that was an absolutely heck no.
He steps fine up and down into step ups, when he has loaded, and if we had to we’ve pushed it to an embankment where he can just walk in.
butt ropes and rear pressure aren’t options, he will plant his feet and will not go in that day. And I know about chute loading, heard too many terrible things for people and horses in that attempt.
The show isn’t for two weeks so I have been trying to do everything in my power until then. I’m trying to get the stock trailer the weekend before to do a little practice I just don’t want to push it before the day.
He also is a food-motivated horse, usually grain helps a little, but only for so long. Do you think not feeding him the morning of the trailering day would help? Motivate him more maybe

As you know my Parents are in debt big time and we dont have the money to go on a vacation driving from Utah to North Carolina with 5 freakin kids crammed in the back! All I’m thinking is how much gas is going to cost and food and other things. Plus the week were leaving I have soccer try outs and I cant miss that!! Any one want to give me advice on what to say to my parents to make them change there mind? I’ve been thinking of suggesting a camping trip?
need help for upcoming alaska trip!?
Posted by: | Commentsim planning to go back to alaska next year, but this time my husband and i want a different experience. we were just there for our honeymoon in may-june, and it was amazing! we went on a cruise and we visited the southeast region. this time we want to explore the “wild area”; we would like to check out denali and fairbanks, but what else is out there? we dont want to do any of those annoying tours where we need to travel in busses for hours and everything seems rushed… we still want to have a tour guide/group or something, but we want to take our time and see more than what we saw on the cruise. also i would like to experience alaska in the colder times with less daylight possible and the aurora borealis(norther lights)… so what it the best time of the year and where would you suggest to go and see? should we just rent a car and explore the wild ourselves or should we book a tour package? note: we both dont like camping, so are there any B&B or any kind of facilities?
What to bring to camp? Help please!?
Posted by: | CommentsFirst, of all, please keep in mind that I am going TO A CAMP, I am NOT GOING CAMPING. I am going to a camp in the mountains for 13 days.
