Well, I'm back again because I just couldn't stay away. I've been taking writing more seriously lately and kept thinking back to this place. It's the only place I really ever felt comfortable or at home. Whenever I try to talk to other writers online it's like talking to a brick wall, but here it's always been different. I appreciate each and every one of you and I look forward to making some new friends as well as getting back in touch with some old ones.
You might be a little curious of where I'm at in life compared to last time I was here. So being truthful I've lost count of how many agencies we've gone through at this point. The last one denied us because our neighbors had a bunch of trash out which led to a roach infestation and an "unsanitary living condition." The manager for the apartments is on their side because she can't stand me for whatever reason (she doesn't have the balls to tell me when I ask her.) For a little over a year now I've had to tolerate their harassment and frequent hissy fits over nothing. When the guy found out I was a man he stopped his shit real quick. He liked to call me a dyke bitch until he was corrected and immediately shut his mouth. We're working with yet another agency in the hopes of this ending in a positive light because let me tell you San Antonio is the worst place, I've ever lived in. Considering I lived in ass backwards Pigeon Forge Tn that's something. I still go crazy and lose my shit but I'm trying really hard to find the inner strength that was taken from me. I used to not care and say or do whatever I felt right but the whole situation with the neighbors made me feel trapped, like I had no right to do anything. Even my legal rights didn't matter and that I had to deal with it and be grateful I was even tolerated. I must admit it makes me a little sad that I can't give yinz better news. I'd love to tell you my daughter is home and its everything I dreamed and that yinz helped me pull through. At least I'm still writing, and I have a half dozen books at this point damn near ready to be published, I just can't market myself for shit.
I'm glad to be back and I look forward to interacting with everyone and hopefully being a bit more positive this time around. I'm sorry for all the times I was so dark, that's just where I was in life and writing here is what helped me at least vent some of it out. I'd love to hear how everyone else is doing.

Welcome Back
Good luck with the books and spare a thought for entering the New Year's Competition.
Roach infestation
Here's a quick secret that exterminators would rather we not know. Roaches are extremely stupid and hence pretty easy to get rid of. Forget all the commercial "Roach Bombs" on the market. They only kill the roaches that are unfortunate enough to be present when you set them off and then every dish, pot or pan plus all the cooking utensils and flat ware need to be washed because what's toxic to roaches is also toxic to humans.
What's much easier and more effective it Boric Acid. You get it at the drug store. It come as a white crystal power.To use it, you sprinkle it as is behind your stove, refrigerator and along the sides of each shelf in the cabinets. Roaches eat anything. One roach can eat enough to kill six roaches before they die, The best part is they crawl back to the nest to die. Then his buddies are cannibalistic and eat his body... six more roached bite the dust. A week or two of keeping the Boric Acid around and you wipe out not only the roaches that turn up in your apartment but all the roaches in the big nest that is infesting the building.
Keep the left over on hand and treat the place again at the earliest sign of roaches. Because what ever yahoo who created the mess is likely to do it again.

Thank you so much!
This is incredible advice thank you so much! I'm definitely going to be giving this a try.
We're born alone, we die alone, but few want to live alone.
