Anybody got a place for an aging, bat shit crazy stripper?

[Gina]

Can't she hang out behind the dumpster with that DUmmie that lives in AZ giving bj's for five bucks?

What's a $5 one like?

[freedumb2003b]

What's a $5 one like?

Like the $2 one but she takes her dentures out first.

[obumazombie]

Her problem is a failure to plan properly for her advancing age.

She thought people would always pay good money to look at her ass.

While Rule 34 of the internet teaches us that's to some extent true, it's not nearly enough to sustain the stripper lifestyle of drugs and extravagance.

She's resorted to wiping with 5s now.

[franksolich]

Some sucker just gave her a whopping hundred bucks, probably as a result of the below new post; she's now up to $1,126:

This DUer Needs Now Emergency Help.
 
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=6621811

So if you have and /or know someone wich would have a cheap and peacefull rental for her and her beloved puppy, please please contact her via PM.

btw I was stunned how some can imply she is "lying" . Some here apparently dont know what they are talking about.

I have been homeless for periods. Yes uou will say "France is different" But here also xe have crowded shelters. And as this DUers I am single and when so, you come at Last in the " priority " help.

Ane on the question whenever she disapears and comes back back and forth. Havent cross your minds that shes is too busy exploring helpfull soluyions to sprnf more times on DU?

And yes. It is difficult for some to makr friends. It is even more difficult when your are jobless since you dony have the money to socialize by going out.

1. Thanks for the post.
 
Apologies for any mean comments that are made.

Yeah, yeah, Skips; like your "kind" sentiments are cash to gofundme for her.

Go stick your head up in where the sun don't shine, you gaseous pious pompous hypocrite.

2. The cynics are the people who haven't been there, who haven't gone through this particular
 
set of circumstances and who just have no clue what reality is like for some people. To them I say, if you can't say something nice, then don't say anything at all.

Sometimes this crap in life just spins too far out of control, beyond our control. She is doing the best she can and man, it sucks to hit bottom.

I hope the people who can help, will help, is all I can say, and I offer my best hopes and wishes that this will turn out all right.

3. I donated on the gofundme page
 
I couldn't do much, but I kicked in a few bucks. If I was anywhere near there, I'd take her and her dog into my home, but unfortunately, I'm nowhere near there. At this point, all I have to offer are best wishes, love, and support.

4. Great point about how hard it is to make friends
 
It's not just the lack of money for socializing. When you're unemployed, you don't feel like you have much to offer people: and you're not sure what people would see in you. That sends off a kind of vibe. I don't think TtW should have been placed on the spot about why she does or does not have friends in the first place. If it sounds like she tried to make up some answer, I'm sure I would have, too. I just happen to be a total introvert - so in my "times of need" (like when I have medical procedure that I'm supposed to have a "friend pick me up for" this week) I don't have anyone to call. Hopefully I don't fall into the same trap TtW did about rising to that bait.

That said...TtW needs to stabilize her life. The reason she keeps showing up once a month is that's when her rent is due, and she doesn't know where else to go. There are surprisingly few resources to support keeping people in their existing home in this country. TtW is obviously trying to cling to hers, slumlord or not. Perhaps she just needs someone to show her the way to other possibilities - like a bridge to a new apartment with no first-last-deposit necessary. Now that she has a social worker, she may qualify for General Assistance, and from there she may qualify for a low income apartment. BUT, that process could take many months, and even a couple of years. Yoshi will probably have to go in the meantime. The prospect is devastatingly scary. I don't blame TtW for trying to hold on to what she knows.

This sort of situation is why we need REAL, customized poverty assistance in this country. Because each element of the problem will take an unknown amount of time to deal with (housing, employment, mental health...), the case will be complicated by lack of coordination. The things she needs will not line up at the right time. The housing really needs to be stabilized before she can even think of work.

Anybody have that comment from the time she wiped her ass with ten-dollar bills?

It needs posted constantly, as humility's the best lesson for this bitch to learn.

I think that is worthy of mole suicide to post that in that thread 

[delilahmused]

So, if her story is to be believed it's her FAMILY'S fault because they told her, a grown woman, not to get a job? It's not her responsibility to get a job despite what others say or think? That's just gutter-level stupid.

Bet the real conversation went something like this:

Family: You need to get a job! You don't even know what you qualify for or if you'll get the money you need. We're tapped out and can't help you anymore. We've already given you thousands of dollars you were supposed to pay back.

Torchy: No I don't! Everybody on DU said I can get all this stuff, I just have to go apply!

Family: What are you going to do in the meantime? How are you going to pay your bills or feed that poor defenseless dog who's stuck with your lazy ass? You've known this would happen ages ago and did nothing. Now you're in a panic.

Torchy: Oh, you're so mean! I'm telling the government on you (stomping off)!

Here is the likely life of torchy the stripper witch.

Probably a decade ago was a young female,moderately or better attractive.
Attached herself to the "bad boy" that women say they don`t want but despite the feminist manifesto gravitate to.
Got introduced to weed and coke and then moved into stripping for the "money they threw" (dating myself with that reference).

All was grand while the likely underbelly of society tossed the 10 dollar ass wipes her way because despite being the leftist feminist she valued herself by what inner city DUmbass predators considered her.
Soon the desire for weed and blow turned to outside the strip joint so began meetings for funds and became a true dope whore.
Her mental capacity,as evidenced by her posts,degrades to grade school level and all that matters is getting cash for more bud or sugar.

The epitome of a baked out DUmbass that ruined their own life but still expects others to pay its way.

[Boudicca]

Is it at all conceivable that Torch the Witch is another iteration of bobbolink?  After all, both kept railing about their personal living situations without bothering to take any advice.  I don't even care if everything she/they claim is true because in this country, this is ALWAYS a solution.  Always.  It may not be what anyone wants, or feels entitled to, both no one is starving or without shelter unless they refuse to take food assistance (I know, as a former child whose family qualified many times over for food stamps but whose parents said hell no) to those who won't go to a shelter because they can't obtain and/or partake of alcohol or illegal drugs OR who say shelters are too dangerous.  Because, of course, living on the streets is soooooo much safer.

We have a few family members in hubby's and my families who have totally pushed the boundaries of tolerance, living lives steeped in indulgence and apathy with the constant influx of family funds until everyone's had it and then they go wherever the hell feckless, worthless relatives wander off to.  Apparently that's to discussion boards to bitch about us and cadge more money from dopes who don't know any better.

131. Glory Hallelujah! My friend in San Diego came through for me!

He wired me most of the money to my bank, and I got it out this afternoon and made it to court to pay them with just 10 minutes to spare! Traffic was crap on the way back, but getting there it wasn't so bad. This guy in San Diego used to be an old roommate from eons ago. I haven't seen him for probably 20 years, but we've always talked in email, so he's known all about the scumlord situation as everything was happening since he was the one I generally griped to while he griped to me about his ex-girlfriend. He was just away for a couple of weeks and didn't get my last email early this morning (his time I guess) wired me most of the money, and I had to fight with my bank to get it out in time to get to the court. Good God, it was REALLY close. I just made it with 10 minutes to spare though.

Now I have at least 30 days to get back to work and my case worker to find me a place to go hopefully with my dog. She's also trying to get him legally made a necessary companion animal. I know PA has some law that companion animals can be just for mental or emotional health reasons but I have no idea how it's done or how long it takes. Technically I'd have 40 days too, since I'll be defaulting on the next payment and then I'd have an additional 10 days before they'd throw me out but I'm hoping to be gone as fast as I can.

When I got home I just threw my arms around my precious doggie and cried and cried with relief. And then I slipped on a puddle the fridge pees in warm weather because it doesn't have that tray underneath to catch the "pee" when it does that automatic defrosting. I slipped in the little puddle and bashed my face into the trashcan. Blood all over. I don't think I broke my nose though. I hit the septum and gouged off some bits of skin from inside of one nostril which I think is where the blood is coming from. Mostly it's stopped unless I blow my nose, but most of it's snot. I can still breathe as good as ever out of both sides, and it looks normal. Now I'm just worried it will swell or turn black and blue. I should put ice on it except I don't have any. There's probably some mystery frozen "thing" in the freezer I could use though.

So now I'm down to about $45 in the bank and about $35 I counted out of my change jar. I got some food left but not much, and just yesterday I got a bag of chow for Yoshi since Texasgal generously provided enough money to buy the big bag, so Yoshi will have his food for about a month, giant moose that he is. I was supposed to go to the food bank with my case worker last Friday but she had a big emergency with one of her other people and was at the hospital for nearly 24 hours. Of course, I'm not allowed to know anything about that and I don't think I want to. I don't know if the food bank is somewhere I can go to myself or I need her to swipe a special card or what. I'll have to call her about that tomorrow.

This is like the biggest relief EVER! I have a million things to get done in the next 30 days, but for the first time since I got the eviction notice from the district court I feel like I'm not running around crazy with that big clock in my head ticking like a sledge hammer. Just buying 30 days at a stretch with nothing to pay the court is all I wanted with doing the appeal anyway. Once I'm outta here I hope this dump just falls down.

I'm going to wrestle the a/c unit into the window and just flop in bed without the terror for once.

Thank you all SOOOOO much for the kind words and the generosity from people here just has me crying all over again!

The saga can now continue next month.

This "friend in San Diego" was not Skippy, the NYC_SKP primitive.

You may be on to something, Boudicca.

Her lies are getting more complicated, almost manic. Her latest should have had a player piano soundtrack.

And then there's this nugget:

Now I have at least 30 days to get back to work and my case worker to find me a place to go hopefully with my dog. She's also trying to get him legally made a necessary companion animal. I know PA has some law that companion animals can be just for mental or emotional health reasons but I have no idea how it's done or how long it takes.

Her imaginary "caseworker" would know, or should know, that the Americans with Disabilities Act is the law which mandates access for Service Animals, and "companion animals" (pets) have no legal status.

[jtyangel]

Ok nevermind the obvious life failure  but apparently she's so inept she would rather slip on a floor rather then buy a 2.00 aluminum pan to put under her fridge just to rig it to keep it from dripping on the floor? No wonder the landlords place is falling down around her when she's rotting the floorboards put and setting the place up for a mold jungle with the freely dripping fridge condensor. One can only imagine all the other stuff she's letting go being a helpless idiot with no pride. And here I am a renter and just mulched my landlords yard, fertilized and fed the lawn, and even made a little step walkway in our front garden. I so despise other renters who think renting means do nothing and don't give a shit.

I believe NYC_SKP's home is 7+ hours' drive from San Diego, depending on route, weight of right foot, and whether distracted into visiting The House of Mouse.

139. AWESOME!!! AWESOME!!! AWESOME!!!

Well, except for the part about slipping in the fridge pee and bashing your nose! LOL But I am SO RELIEVED on your behalf!! Oh my gosh -- I had forgotten all about the guy in San Diego... what a miracle that he got the email and sprang into action when he did!!

I'm so happy for you I could BURST!!!

To all who donated to TTW during this (and Texasgal for the bag of food for Yoshi!!), I want to thank you all too! I've been in communication with TTW since the last thread on the subject, and I can attest that she is telling the absolute truth about the whole saga. I have seen the documents involved via the courthouse's online access to them. I can also attest that TTW has repeatedly expressed her heartfelt gratitude about the generosity of all those who had donated (which I was unable to do myself) during our PMs and phone conversations. She has been unreserved about that -- that it was the "generosity of all those wonderful people on DU" that had gotten her and Yoshi as far as they were at that point. As someone that genuinely cares for TTW (as we go way back on here and she has helped me in the past), I want to say thank you to all who helped her, whether by donating or offering advice or giving kind words of support. Sometimes a little help goes a long way, as can just plain empathy and compassion.

Torch, keep me posted on the job search, the social worker, and all the rest!! I've been working 12 hour days so I haven't been around much lately, and tomorrow I leave for a work-related trip that will have me gone until late Thursday evening, but then I have a few days off in a row and I intend to call you!!! Send me a PM with the best time(s) to call around your job search and whatever other actions you'll be taking. I'm going to do some research on the companion animal thing and see what all is involved. Once you find work and know what your income parameters will be, we'll go from there on finding the place for you to move to!!

Tell your friend in San Diego that he just made another friend.

Big Hugs!!!!!!!

A skeptic appears.

144. Glad to read this

I am new here and have no dog in the fight.

Before Moosepoop's post, I was becoming worried for the real TTW. There have been so many strange signs with this "TTW's" grammar and syntax (is she British or not? Highly educated or not? It changes from post to post.) that I assumed the real woman's DU account had been taken over by a scammer. Which suggested that the actual TTW might be in some kind of trouble.

But if Moosepoop talked to the real TTW (though how could she know if it was an imposter?), I am relieved.

On the other hand, these bizarre final twists are begging for a Gothic novelist. A longlost admirer appears with money! A lwitness arrives an instant later and swears that she has the proof everyone has wanted for months: that TTW is indeed the lost dauphin.

I remain baffled. The truth is still out there, somewhere. I just hope no one is actually getting hurt.

Buried in all her thoughtfully composed words, TTW makes mention of all her many other bills and expenses. And slipped into the many expenses is one titled "New uniform for work"

A thong and a set of pasties can't be very expensive. She must be planning to go all out and get the hooker shoes, too.
