hi, quincy. re: '...laws that are enacted to benefit the public often seem to ignore the large part of the public that is poor,' it has become more the norm that the laws you speak of are increasingly intended to identify and isolate rather than to benefit anyone other than property owners. on...

hi, quincy. thanks again for your kind words. in short, albert is not a shelter kind of guy. if he were, the system might not be so intent on making an example. albert also is not easily overcome in this case since his dogs are crucial to his well-being. and the situation is a bit hard to handle...

thanks, zd. it is all seemingly increasingly moot at this point and i do appreciate your reply. i think i answered most of your questions in a previous discussion w/ quincy. i used adversarial in single quotation marks since the system is inherently biased against the alberts of the world -- as...

thanks, quincy. i will pass the link along to albert although i daresay it won't likely cheer him up too much. also, for whatever it might possibly be worth, i don't think you need to worry about the caffeine issue. i did express a bit of an attitude, but it was because i had mistakenly...

thank you, quincy. your comment re: a 'nonissue' pretty much answers my question. i do appreciate it. albert has 2 dogs. one bit someone. they took both dogs. they have been in lock-down for about 3 months. it seems they found the dogs not vicious and want to give them to someone else. albert...

i would rather not quibble about my usage of the term 'exploit'. albert has/had 2 dogs. one of them bit someone. albert did attend the hearing which he found out about on his own. he also attended the de novo trial. he didn't have much chance to present a case. i wonder if there is anyone who...

What is the name of your state? CA thanks in advance. i'm writing on behalf of albert, my friend, who is still trying to reclaim his dogs from the county after an 'adversarial' de novo judgment. forgive me, i'm not an attorney, and i do not mean to wax eloquent. my question is in fact quite...

thanks. i'm not too fond of tornadoes. i will work it out and thank you all once again for your replies.

thanks for all the comments. i wonder why everything turns into an attack on immigrants these days? in the days of john adams, an english immigrant was no worries, but there were laws to protect against the 'indigent' and politically incorrect irish. much obliged to all for your comments. rich...

thank you once again, adjusted senior member! your answers are really quite useful and i do appreciate it. i'm trying to target retiring outside of the us rather than submitting to existence in a mobile park. not being condescending...it's just not for me. the idea of buying a camper to live in...

thank you for the reply. i receive about $550/mo for ssi retirement. that is my only official income. my brother has been sending me about $600/mo. additionally. perhaps it is not 'a good idea' to proceed with ssi application under these circumstances? the main reason i am considering it is to...

What is the name of your state? CA hello. i'm 67-years-old and have very little income. i don't own anything of value, but i do have $33k in my bank account. i don't spend much and am usually homeless [sleep in car, etc.]. can anyone please recommend options to satisfy ssi eligibility? should...
