But, drugs and alcohol does play pretty big role in the problem. Not being able to adapt and mental problems also may play role. Now notice the words "may" and "could". Thanks for the scolding From someone that has worked since I was 14 years old and didn't have mommy and daddy to pay my way through college and beyond. When you have to you learn lots of skills or you drop off the face of the society.

I still think high risk involved IMO a lot goes on after midnight. MY point is what's the point so he said he done it and conversation at the party?
My problem had been that mistakes you make in whom you write and what you say on the Internet often stay there for what seems like decades. So, they closed a lot of doors to employment in many other areas.

In 2000, I tried volunteering in two Palm Harbor public libraries to get a foot in the door to public libraries, for instance, but a fight I had been involved with getting the Florida Victim Services Directory linked to libraries across FL made this door shut in 2004. I had trouble seeing eye-to-eye with the Director of one of these libraries who insisted they had a link when his reference librarians and I told him otherwise. My fight for the FL Victim Services Directory was state-wide back in 2000 through 2007 or so.

I was not about to just agree with this Director that there was a link to the Florida Victim Services Directory http://myfloridalegal.com/directory when anyone with a computer could see that there was not. Probably would have made mine and my parents' life a lot easier in Palm Harbor if I had just agreed with this Chairman of the Palm Harbor Board of Commerce back around then.

I did continue fighting for a link to the Florida Victim Services Directory from the Villages' area libraries when we moved to the Villages in 2005. Gary Corsair, a Villages Daily Sun reporter, wrote a short piece about my efforts with Villages' area libraries. The article is from Memorial Day weekend in May 2007.

I have managed to avoid being homeless but finding any kind of work has been very difficult mainly because of my Internet presence.
