My guess about that picture you keep sending around, and the person to whom it belongs, is that he is someone who tried to help you in the past, but realized, after awhile, what a leach you are. He probably picked you up while you were hitchhiking and let you stay in his home, at which point, you discovered some minor secret in his life. You left, threatening him, and attempted to use that secret to blackmail him....am I right? But then he decided not to respond to your threats anymore, and now you are trying to make his life miserable. If his identity was actually a mystery, as you say, you probably wouldn't have such a clear picture of him. That said, you need to butt out of the missing persons case to which you have claimed that he has a connection. All you are doing is interfering with the investigation and running a serious risk of causing harm to someone who isn't even involved at a bystander's level. But then, that's what you told him you would do if he didn't pay you, isn't it?

If you either know, or seriously think, that he should be investigated, go to the police. Don't send his picture to everyone you can reach via the internet. And stop threatening people. Just come forward with what you know, if anything, and stop blackmailing people.

You know something, Rhino-ass? (you know who you are, too, and I know you will see this) When dozens of emergency vehicles are transiting a small town with virtually no population on the outskirts because a violent, unsolved murder has just taken place, expecting anyone to stop and pick up a stranger is absurd. Especially if the sheriff has asked everyone to avoid doing so, and to avoid driving through the area at all, if possible. Everything from rescue efforts to integrity of the crime scene could be compromised, and the sheriff was probably more concerned about public safety than picking up a whining rhinoceros who eats like a pig. I'd be scared to pick up a stranger, too, if someone had just gotten shot in front of my face. You need to leave everyone alone in circumstances like this.

If you want an easier train trip next time, try buying two tickets instead of just one. That way, both your ass and your face will fit where you sit. Avoid throwing trash everywhere, and leave everyone else's wallet alone.

The hairstyle looks better on this passenger, who also probably smells better than a certain whiney hitchhiker. All in all, a better seat mate, if one is travelling by train. By the way, I am sorry for your loss.

Okay, rhinoceros-ass, you can howl and whine all you want. You ruin every opportunity that comes your way by lying and interfering in the affairs of real people with actual pursuits while doing nothing helpful or constructive. I tried to help with certain objectives, but you were unwilling to take the necessary responsibility involved. Don't act as if you were a victim.....and stop mooching! The reason no one wants to pick you up when you hitchhike and the reason you have so many problems finding lodging is because you're a big, fat, dishonest, ugly mooch.

You should stop telling people you've never taken anything from anyone when your dirty Starbucks cup gets thrown away by whoever cleans up after you've graced a building with your smelly presence. Twenty dollars disappeared from a child's wallet while you were here.

The type of emergency medical care you recently mooched was not the kind you need. While being as fat as a rhinoceros is certainly a physical problem, the kind of perception that causes a fatty such as yourself to eat entire cupboards full of food in one sitting and force children to fight you for a meal, or for shelter, is a much more grave problem. Unfortunately, others with grave problems also do not deserve to be forced to share quarters and resources with you, either. Is that what the volunteer from the shelter told you, before you dissed him on Facebook? Or did he just refuse to comply with some silly-assed demand you made, which would have forced him to displace actual disaster and emergency victims, should he have attempted to enable you?

Private Message To An Angry Hitchhiker

So someone stole your personal effects while you out scamming anyone who would listen to you in The Dalles? I can see that you are upset, and that you feel that, in addition to The Dalles owing you something, you think things of this nature should never happen to you. Well; maybe they shouldn't happen to anyone. Should twenty dollars have disappeared from my daughter's wallet when you were here? She's still a kid, but you are an adult, so you should have just spent your own cash, instead of stealing from a child. She felt the same way you feel about your missing possessions, only, unlike you, she actually worked for the money that disappeared. Does this dynamic define your association with your family in De Tour Village? No one appreciated hearing that you don't have a family, either, then finding out you have a large family.

Kansas Lunatics Encourage Hitchhiking

 

How thrilling. We now have a group of brilliant and wonderful individuals in Lawrence, Kansas, who want the city council to legalize hitchhiking within city limits. A non profit group called Lawrence Onboard would like hitchhiking to become an accepted mode of transportation within pre-established parameters, such as background checks and registration of drivers with City Hall, and hitchhikers carrying large signs announcing destinations. The registered driver would stop and pick up the hitchhiker, if possible. Bumper stickers announcing the connection to Lawrence Onboard would also be available. Any bad drivers or bad riders could be reported, and the whole idea could become reality with no problems whatsoever. Where's the eye-rolley when I need it?

 

I don't know what non-profit groups smoke for breakfast in Lawrence, but some of the folks at Lawrence Onboard obviously need to establish a working relationship with Reality. City Hall is actually going to employ a person whose job will be to conduct background checks on would-be ride givers and keep tabs on the state of hitchhiking in Lawrence? Sure, no problems there! Anyone with bad intentions yet no existing criminal record can pass a background check. A driver with a serious drinking problem, but no DWI's or accidents yet, can also pass a background check. There are also criminals who have records, but still pass background checks for reasons ranging from identity theft to incompetence of the person running the background check. And what if the boogieman steals or borrows the car of a legitimate Lawrence Onboard driver? It's not a risk for which I would want responsibility, and it's not a risk I would take.

 

There really is no way of keeping track of hitchhikers via background checks. The number of people who need rides from day to day in any city is always going to fluctuate. A would-be rider can get information from City Hall and carry a sign with a destination written on it, but that does not confer safety in allowing strangers into one's vehicle. This idea may seem innocuous at the surface, but it is really an engraved invitation to criminals. Finding vulnerable victims through a program that sanctions hitchhiking might even be easier than luring victims through networks like Craigslist! There isn't always a way to be sure if a hitchhiker is carrying a weapon or not, and once you accept a ride and get into someone's car, you have no control over where that car travels.

 

Sanctioned hitchhiking a`la Lawrence Onboard is truly one of the worst ideas I've heard lately. It carries a great deal of potential to perpetuate all kinds of crime, from petty theft to murder. Hopefully, the city of Lawrence will simply tell the folks of Lawrence Onboard that carpooling and vanpooling is a much safer, and legal alternative.  

 

 

Private Message Public Notice

I am back in Hood River, Oregon and watching both the leaves and the rain fall. Looking forward to Black Friday...yeah, buddy! Anyone else going to buy an important item that day?

The above quote was intercepted from some social media of someone who is homeless by choice and refuses to work or find permanent housing in order to better her situation. Instead, she sponges off of anyone she can, and spends her ninety-some odd dollars a month in food stamps on fast food. It is usually gone within a couple of days. She also thinks she should buy electronic equipment, such as computers, before she secures her own housing. Housing opportunities have, indeed, presented themselves to her over the last couple of years, yet she refuses. The rest of us deal with the pros and cons of various business and personal relationships with others, such as landlord/tenant; while this person will not do that. She opts, instead, to use everyone in her acquaintance. If a smelly, overweight, homeless female hitchhiker pontificates to you about morals, religion, and matters spiritual while using truly vulgar language and entertaining a sense of entitlement that would make a two year old proud, you may have met this person! She knows who she is........and here is my "cryptic" message to her! Here goes:

The only thing you need to buy on Black Friday, or any day, is your own food with your own government assistance; that is, until they find out you are not really looking for a job. And your own housing. You see, lots of shelters probably prioritize people who do not have incomes ahead of people who do. Your dishonestly obtained disability counts as an income, and you do not care for children, so you are LAST! Everywhere you go. Stop taking stuff to which you are not entitled, and maybe that will change.

The assistance you get from Kansas is more than enough to feed one person, if the one person happens to live somewhere with a stove. You have enough money to buy staples, such as beans and rice. You can also buy Mason jars, and preserve your own food. You are also allowed, in some states, to buy seeds with your assistance dollars and grow some of your food. That would involve a level of responsibility which would enable a landlord/tenant relationship, though. When Kansas extended government sponsored charity to you, caseworkers expected you to get a job and find permanent housing. And it IS charity, in your case......you've wolfed down more food than one person, even a Sumo wrestler, would ever claim and you've done it much longer than any state allows. Your habit of hopping from state to state, grabbing resources from other states when the state from which you currently sponge decides to put you on a diet and a job-hunting program, really needs more public attention. Not all homeless people do this, but you are a prime example of why some members of the general public hate the homeless and will not help them.

How do you sleep at night, knowing that every time you sleep on a bad for which your own finances did not pay, a child or an honestly desperate person is sleeping outside? Why do you take food, money, and resources from children, anyway?

Note: Anyone who knows what this post is about should be warned about one thing prior to picking this person up while she hitchhikes. While this did not happen to me, I was naïve enough to open my home to her, and it was my distinct impression that she was "shopping" (there's that Black Friday reference again!) for a place to either fake or stage an injury in order to file a lawsuit and grab some quick cash. When I didn't want to be vulnerable to this and play the game with her, she moved on to richer and less protected individuals. Also, money not only mysteriously disappeared from my wallet, but from my daughter's wallet, while this woman stayed in my home.

 

Egg Man And Walrus

 

~sigh~ Sitting here in this little town in Missouri while while the sun sets is a total drag. Nobody will talk to me here. Nobody is friendly. Except the mosquitoes.

The above is an actual comment made by someone who is homeless by choice, refuses to work, and will not lift a finger to learn to drive or do anything for herself. That type of comment about people who cannot help her has been her refrain for years. Here's a song for you, hitch hiker:
♫♪♫ Sitting in Missouri, ♪ waiting for a ride to come♫♪
♪Gimme gimme burgers, ♫gimme Mountain Dew to bum!♫♪
I am the Eggman!♪♪♪ They are the Eggman!♪♪♪ You are the Walrus!♪♪♪
♫Give me a ride! ♫ Give me a ride! ♫Give me a ride!♫
Her next Facebook whine has to do with local law enforcement doing their jobs:
Cop came by and told me that it's illegal to hitchhike in Missouri...threatened me and told me to stay in this stupid all nite laundromat...yeah where the camera can keep an eye on me all nite... he had people in a regular local yokel car behind him the whole time that he was talking to me. No offer for food or drink. He doesn't care. He's an ass. By what I can see everyone here is.

Here's another stanza to the song!
♫ Mister city policeman sitting, lots of city policemen in a row!♫♪♫
♪♫ See how they don't like Ruthie In The Sky, ♫ they tell her "no"!♪
♫♫ I'm cryin'! ♫♫ I'm cryyyyyy♪in'!♫♫
Then she got all upset because law enforcement often frowns upon the situations that pose themselves all too often whenever she is present......things like arguments, fights, deliberate attempts to destroy property or become injured, so as to file suit, and missing wallets. Grow up, hitch hiker. No police officer wants things like that going on.
the cop is mean and hellbent on ruining everything. All the effort that has been made to get me to this place and now one local numnutz jerk is going to try to undo it.
Okay, my hitch hiking friend, here's another reason why you shouldn't be allowed to just hang around:
♫Man, you've been a naughty girl, you used a false address!

 

The sad thing, or one of the sad things, about people like the "star" my rant, here, is that the programs she abuses, which were put in place to assist those who actually NEED such programs, mainly poor mothers who have small children and Americans with actual disabilities, would not be in danger of getting shut down if she and those of her ilk would stop abusing these programs. The SNAP program and community pantries are for those who simply have no other honest way of obtaining food for their families. Mothers who are single and unemployed often qualify because a mother cannot leave her children alone, and this often becomes a logistical roadblock in finding gainful employment. There should be no shame in asking for help in such circumstances; it's a lot better than endangering children or allowing them to go hungry. The same goes for shelters; emergency shelters, or emergency assistance with housing, is something communities use to help those who actually have emergency needs and are interested in changing the status from "homeless" to "has permanent address". The subject of the above rant gets very angry, sometimes violently, when emergency shelters turn her away in favor of families with children! Well guess what......? A single, able bodied person who is capable of working and buying her own hotel room is NOT a priority over a child who cannot do those things for himself, and the child's parents also deserve the consideration in those situations that help keep families together. Single adults with no children do not have the same issues.

People like Ruthie, of Ruthie in the Sky, are actually the minority of welfare clients. Most clients of such services have not made the choice to be in their situations, and are simply trying to determine the next, most logical step in order to cope with adversity and solve problems. The problem Ruthie presents for them is her visibility and the amount of time she has to jump in line, so to speak, get on waiting lists, use addresses she really shouldn't use, and grab benefits while other clients are still wondering who to see about each particular problem. Looking for a job, or going to work, finding childcare, helping children with homework, caring for infants, ect., is much more time consuming and demanding of energy than anything Ruthie has attempted to do, yet Ruthie is much, much more visible than any of those more deserving people. And while she is busy being visible, she is very hard on the vision! Sitting in places where she has been asked not to sit, yelling at people, starting fights and arguments, taking enough food for three people at a time when three people, at least, will have to go hungry each time she does this, has lent a very negative image to a stereotype of a person whose circumstances actually merit community assistance. This may be one of the reasons Kansas Republican representatives voted to cut the SNAP program recently. What Ruthie has actually accomplished by making people disgusted by her overeating, non-working presence has not only served to directly consume that which was never hers or intended for her, but to also eliminate resources for children which would otherwise have been left in place! What a greedy pig!
I am so mad that I could just spit nails! Cop shut down my hitchhiking and won't help me with anything. I am hungry thirsty and forced to walk up a dark road to pee!
Above is another whine from the same source. That is yet another reason the police probably wanted this particular hitch hiker to cease and desist. She refused to use her own money to procure her own shelter, and is now stating that she is planning to expose herself! Yuck! And don't do it around children! And the city policeman WAS doing his job; his job is to tell people not to hitch hike and not to trespass and loiter. He is also there to make sure no one's wallet get's stolen. The citizens of Missouri do NOT expect him to feed and water the nuisance creators when he asks them to move on!
I won't take any more of the nonsense that started last night. I deserve much better and I am going to go back to where I think that I will have a better chance of finding what I should have.
I am glad you won't take any more of the nonsense, Ruthie. You shouldn't. You should start living somewhere permanently and working to keep that permanent address at your earliest convenience. You do deserve better: you deserve a job, an honestly earned paycheck, a place to disrobe without committing indecent exposure, and your own damn Mountain Dew! You also deserve a chance to reimburse everyone of whose advantage you have taken, and you deserve a chance to pay back any monies stolen from the wallets of children. I hope you "find" all that!

Locust Plague In Kansas

Grrr.......We have a parasite hitching through southern Kansas right now! She's hungry, lazy, and crazy! Lock your doors! Lock your refrigerators! Lock your cars, too! And do not pick up any hitchhikers!

Hide your wallet, too!

Bwahahahahahaha!

Give me a fish and I eat for a day.
Teach me to fish, and I eat for a lifetime.

Get a clue, parasite.

I have some very bad news for a certain welfare recipient. It was in the paper this morning! It seems you may no longer be free to collect certain benefits within a certain, Midwestern state and continue to move from place to place without employment. An honest effort to secure gainful employment will very likely be required in the near future, as the only reason it was not required was a waiver which was granted to the state. Quite a few of us know that the real reason you never settle down is an attempt to avoid having your welfare benefits stopped when you refuse to go to work anywhere. It's easier to hitchhike to a different state, and try to collect benefits there, isn't it? Kansas isn't gonna let you do it anymore. Enjoy job hunting!
