Our friend needs help, not advice. In tough times I usually ask myself "what can I do to better my situation?"

If'n you're broke, that should fix the obesity issue. This seems like it should be true, but I see quite a few poor people who are obese. I don't know how but they've somehow figured it out.

Very sorry to hear that.
If you’re on your third marriage it might not be the women who are the problem. Then again, they might just be....

If you think it is pointless, it probably is. Sounds like the problem is between your ears. Only you can fix it.

Here is the deal. Alaska values what Uncle Alvah has which is a love of firearms and an appreciation for their history. We always have older gun cranks and they generally are extremely happy. One of my friends Heimo Korth is 76 and is still guiding sheep hunters. Those old fellers make themselves scarce when the flu or Covid comes through but they are out quite a bit. Probably the toughest thing is that they aren't making as many print magazines and its tough to get them. I pray for you Uncle Alvah but just as a note although Iowa has big whitetails and good wrestling I would hate to be limited on the guns you guys are limited to. Wabbi you should think about Alaska as well. I have to recruit good god luvin, gun toting curmudgeons to counter the liberal ex-seattle pats who are moving to Anchorage and Homer.

Our friend needs help, not advice. How is feeling sorry for him “help”? Sounds to me like he doesn’t need another person to co-sign on his victimhood but needs to act like a man.

Sounds bleak.
I’ve found that I’ve sometimes wanted to discuss my problems. And many times I didn’t really ‘have’ problems. Rather I’d chosen to live in the wrong direction. Often I didn’t need a miracle, or even a solution. I needed a new direction. I needed to live in a different, and better direction.
Every day on this side of the ground is a win.

Antlers, you are always the voice of reason, and knowledge. Yes he is! He is a breath of fresh air and his insight is always valued.

Our friend needs help, not advice. I’m sure that Amazing Grace photo you posted will turn things around for him.

I turn 69 in four days.
I am on my third marriage, which is now on the rocks.
My kids are grown. They are successful and on their own. I seldom see them or even hear from them.
I have no occupation.
My health is a ticking time bomb. Obese, diabetic, no teeth, blind in one eye, congestive heart failure, high blood pressure, high cholesterol.
Very little cash, no credit.
I see few options on how I can proceed.
Staring down the barrel of homelessness.
I need a miracle. I don’t think you need a miracle… you just need to make some adjustments in your lifestyle…BTDT. https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbt.../17379368/lifestyle-changes#Post17379368

“Woe is me” Isaiah6:5. Wallowing in self pity and negative thinking will not improve your lot in life. Only you can make the effort to crawl out of the dark hole of depression that you find yourself in. Whatever it takes you need to make the effort. As long as there is life there is hope.
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, Whom shall I send? And who will go for us? And I said, Here am I. Send me!
Isaiah 6:8
