I have been drycamping various places in and around Seguin. after hassles with 18 wheelers in many of the locations, the local police suggested I park at Walmart.I have been parking with NO NOISE, NO GENERATOR, NO SLIDEOUTS,NO FURNITURE, NO AWNING. Yesterday one of their employees got in my face because I have been there EVERY NIGHT. Me and several others who are unemployed, homelessor just can't find housing in this toilet of a town.I have also been spending virtually all of my cash and now Food Stampsat Walmart.Today, I move and all spending stops. I would appreciate you joining in my boycott. An average of 4-6 RV's a night stop at this location.In fact, I will encourage you to Boycott Walmart PERIOD. NATIONWIDE.Help me teach them a valuable economic lesson.

I'm sure they will feel the cash loss.

While I am sorry about your economic situation, a Walmart parking lot is not a place to live even if you do spend money there. A night or two stay while passing thru is acceptable. A boycott for them not allowing you to take up residence in their parking lot is not.

Ummmm... what? A private business (that isn't in the business of providing a free location to camp) got tired of you living on their property FOR FREE, and now you want everyone to boycott that business and Walmart's nationwide? If anything, you should be writing a post praising Walmart for having allowed you to stay there RENT FREE for as long as they have.I've read a lot of questionable posts on RV.net over the years... but this one may take the cake.

They should have called Police, had you arrested for vagrancy,and had your RV towed. That way you would have a place to stay (jail), and you would be out of their hair. :@

Not far into this thread I began to think that maybe this was a good way for the original poster to get material for his "book" he says he's writing.

Note to lazy OP

You have a 'puter and internet access. You state that you can eat with the food stamps that we are paying for. You have a home of some kind that runs. But yet you are on here crying? A lot of people in this country don't have what you have. I'm sorry your parents basement flooded and you had to move out.
Grow up and go get a job.

as far as taking SS too early, I took it the day I became eligible. at the recommendation of other retirees and the lady at SS. drawing the lesser amount for 5-7 extra years I think it was when I was 85 that I would break even. at that time my major expenses will be depends and puddin.

LOL! I'm imagining this guy sitting in the living room of his million dollar home, glass of Chardonnay in his hand, little princess dog on his lap, laughing is butt off at all of us. I will say this has been amusing and a great social experiment. I've noticed one common thing, though. This group will jump through hoops to help those who TRULY need it BUT have no tolerance for the slackers in life. I am in SPLENDID company!

So, you think he is on the Target Board of Directors, trying to stir up antipathy against their largest rival?

Could be! Stranger things have been happening here as of late.....

The hotel the man managed was sold a few years before he planned to retire. He searched for a new job with no success finding a comparable position since at that time literally a hotel could have hired at least two newly minted college grads at his then salary to do the same job.
He still works occasionally making mad money but that amt and his S.S. (taken earlier than planned, sigh) left a decided hole in our combined income and retirement plans. Fortunately the real estate market picked up this way which helped to fill the gap but it's still funds lost to being too old.

Just to be clear DallasSteve did not write that quoted post. Somehow you edited the quote and my name got left with the quote from dewey02, I think.

Sorry about that DallasSteve. All those quotes w/i quotes can get confusing when you try to make the post smaller.

Hassles with 18 wheelers ? Police involved ? It would be interesting to hear more of what that's all about ? :R
