Having an open mind makes me about twice as wise as anyone twice my age. Well that and having found inner peace.

Yup. That and freaking them out with obscure (to them) words that you got out of various books....

Yeah. I consistently drive my parents barmy like that.

Richard still buys a few SW figures. He mostly looks for what he "wants" but doesn't get when he's got the piddly amount of money he gets from the VA... And the only "bill" he's got that I know of now is his Dell payment for his comp. He dropped his AOL account when he got denied the disability he applied for the past several years... He was gonna save some of that money but spent it on food and a book he got while he was up here over the 4th of July holiday weekend.

Sounds like he has monetary impulse control issues like my BF. I really hate it though because everytime he tells me he'll have some money saved up for something we plan to do together, he ends up blowing it on junk the weekend before we are supposed to get together.

Or the less intelligent idiots that we end up having to work with....

Unfortunately the only income I get is based off of my SSD and having to freaking earn it by doing chores for my parents. $60/month is ridiculous.

There's nothing wrong with being childlike in SOME instances. But not in a case like this!

There's a great difference between child-like and child-ish.

Yup. And add in the fact he doesn't get to get out much at all.... there's not anywhere you'd want to go in the small town he lives in.... there's a grocery store, two dollar stores, a drug store, two banks, a post office, two fast food joints (neither of which is a Mickey D's! ), a small library that he told me was near the convenience store that I haven't seen yet! (must be *that* small of one!) and that's about it.... he has to walk everywhere he goes as his family won't drive him anywhere....

They don't even speak to me when I go to get him.... except for his younger sister. She's the only one. The only time his mother ever spoke to me was talking about childbirth and the fact that she practically couldn't have anymore after she had him... it was a decade later for the first of the two daughters, 12 years for the second... If she was wanting "sympathy points" from me for that, she was gravely mistaken... The only way she'd get them is to treat him, her only son, with respect.

I just don't want to hear him gripe about being broke at Dragoncon... unless he plans on selling his artwork all weekend.... And I know he's aiming to "game like hell" the weekend... He did that at the last con we were at...

Yup. Some people just don't know the difference... We tend to act child-like at our games... the immaturity shows through on occasion, usually about the time we get guttery...

After paying his bills, Richard may have $30-40 left over per month... out of $108 (less any bank fees he's made to pay. Except for if I get him up here to the bank I go to on a regular basis who allow me to cash his check, using my account #)
