If it was bought for your use, what are they doing about replacing it? Talk to them about your needs. Do they care about you? Are they prepared to help you? If you don't have a scooter will they give you a lift to church and come and collect you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are, why is your mother selling it? Because neither of us like the new one. I do not like riding it, and neither does she. It's a three wheeler, and we thought we'd be more comfortable on it. It is harder on both of us for us to drive it. 10 hours ago, Who me said: If it was bought for your use, what are they doing about replacing it? She has already bought two in the past, and I used them for errands until they wore out. She does not plan on replacing this new one again. We are trying moving in to a smaller place, and if I want one I need to buy my own this time. I will probably also need to store it myself in the new bigger room, which will make me lose the extra space I am gaining. I thought about getting a bike. I thought about just getting a bike. 10 hours ago, Who me said: Talk to them about your needs. I already have. Several times. They know already. 10 hours ago, Who me said: Do they care about you? Are they prepared to help you? If you don't have a scooter will they give you a lift to church and come and collect you? Yes, they do. Yes, they are. But, Only because of my illness. Nothing else. They do not see it as an immediate need that I can't get to church easily. No, They will not. They think that is fine not to go. We are not of the same religion's and even if we were, They do not think it is that important to go. If they do, Then they just don't go. If they are going to church I can go with them, But they don't go. In the new house if my dad has less yard work and they want to go, They might go. I can't guarantee, though. I do not know what church life will look like. My parents don't have much of one. Since the pandemic, They are convinced that church is a breeding ground for germs. They never went before then, Either. My dad works really really hard, And he watches movies for recreational. My mom watches tv. They do not go to church. They are not much of church people. They run errands on the weekends, and shopping and stuff. I could say that a good portion of my Disability income is invested in the likes of places like Sears, And Macy's and etc. That is the majority of what my Disability income is invested in to. Church has become a non thing since my illness. Now I don't have a car. I am trying to re direct my finances towards natural fibers and have less, As opposed to more. My Disability income is invested in to places like Sears. I don't have a savings, But I don't have any debt, either. I have bills, and rent, That I have a hard time keeping up with. Even if I didn't, the government requires it. I am trying to have less, and have more quality as opposed to quantity. I am trying to save all that I can right now, Since I don't have one. Then maybe I can buy a scooter. There is a church by the new place, but it is up the roads a ways. So, again, it's the same thing. I will need to walk, or have a scooter. I am waiting until if we get in to the new place right now, And I am also waiting until it starts getting lighter out at night for here. I do not like the morning services. It is too much activity for me. When it starts getting brighter out at night, I am going to try and walk up to the church that I keep forgetting about. I already walked up there once to see their service times. I am currently waiting for it to not be so dark out at night while we still live here. That is what I am waiting for. I am waiting for it to start getting brighter out at night again while we still live here. I am trying to save all that I can right now, While invested in to quality, as opposed to quantity, And just resting in prayer and just resting in general, and trying to keep up with chores and stuff around the house and etc. I am waiting for the sun to come back out while we live here. I am Disabled, and on Disability, And the medications are brutal, But while I live here, And while I am on Disability Income, I am trying to invest in to quality, as opposed to quantity, and focus my behavior on savings, and rejecting any advice that does not align with the Bible. It's difficult, Since my mom is more left leaning than me. My mom is more left leaning than in the house. She always has been. She aligns more with libertarian ideals. She is the most libertarian in the house. I am trying to invest in to quality, as opposed to quantity, and focus my behavior on savings, and rejecting any advice that does not align with the Bible, Despite living with them because of disability, and the differences in doctrine and political alignments. That is what I am focusing on. It's all I can do with a Disability. The temptation of the television and the entertainment is high, The temptation of the shopping is high, and I am trying to remain focused and invest in to quality, and not quantity. That is what I am focused on. The temptation is high. But, now that I am ware of it, I am trying to remain focused. The new house will help with it. If we get in to it.

We are moving in to somewhere smaller, and she is selling the current mobility scooter. She said, 'don't go?', very easily to don't go to church very easily, Meaning,'don't, go, ?', to church, As if this is a totally normal and acceptable answer for a Christians. Don't go? with a question mark, as if it is just a normal question, answer. She does not see the need to go to a church, And does not see the need for me to meet people at church. They do not want to meet anyone from church. She is now selling the mobility scooter, And making it even more difficult for me to keep one in the house, If I decide to purchase my own. We are moving in to somewhere that is slightly smaller, but only slightly. I thought it was more significantly smaller, it only feels smaller because of the ceiling and layout. Everything is easily reachable, and there are no stairs in this house. Since COVID, My parents have no plans to ever attend a smaller, more traditional church ever again. They think that it is a breeding ground for germs. They already don't align with the Fundamentalist lifestyle, and since Covid, they think that it is a breeding ground for germs. They want to go to the biggest churches they can find, and sit in the back and not meet or talk to anyone. I can't meet people at church this way. They don't think it is a problem for me. They don't see it is a super big deal for me, because they already do not align with the smaller churches ideals, anyway. They think it is a non issue. They are not super concerned, nor super motivated to help me have an easy way to get to a smaller, more traditional church. They think that this is ok. @believeinHim Here's a good verse: "And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers."

If you want to save money stop spending on unnecessary items. If you are contributing to the rent and other bills but are having to also buy additional food items you need to negotiate a reduction of your rent etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not because they make me. If they go to church, my mom has said which church she will go to. Right now I think my home church is a church of Calvary. She said she will go to a church that has air purifiers for COVID. There is a church that has said they installed air purifiers for COVID. That's the one she wants to go to. I will go, if she or they goes. Whenever they go. If I can get up and be ready on time. My home church has, and has always been a church of Calvary. That is the church I grew up in. We live around old fashioned fundamentalist churches. I volunteered at a church of Calvary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's not reported how much I pay, the government will take it out themselves. It's better to just tell them how much I pay them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was perusing my Facebook, and realizing the problem I am having with my girl friends. Obviously, all of them would rather spend time with their boyfriends other than me. My best friend included. Or, whatever our title is now. They would rather hang out with their boyfriend's, and shack up, and split the check, and do things out of marriage, and all that, than talk to me. I have been ridiculed and said things to me like, 'he gotta love the cross', in a derogatory way towards me, implying a guy would never like a girl with a cross necklace around her wearing, and etc. I am a Christian, and I stand with the Gentiles. As a Christian, I also have to stand with Israel. I'm in America, and I have to stand with Israel. I have read what the Palestinians believe, and it's basically terrorism. They might be smart, they might have beautiful buildings for all that I know, whatever it is I am hearing, and etc, But, as a Christian, and as a Gentile, I have to stand with Israel. I have to stand with Israel, and I have to stand by Jesus. He is my Friend. I am a Friend of Jesus. Edited March 11 by believeinHim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
