if you look at all his criminal past it makes you wonder what happened to all those addresses he once had?

So , it only bugs u when homeless ppl. smoke? Not every person when they light up that nasty cig.So they can smoke? Not homeless ppl. My ex- hubby is homeless. I threw him out 9 years ago and he has been homeless ever sense. Wanna hear something else that would make u sick? Do u know how most get there cigs? They find 1/2 smoked butts olong the road or in ash trays outside of buissness. He carries a bag of filthy steanky butts, its so nasty. I hope that he will 1 day try 2 get a job and take care financally of our children but I dont c that happening. He just got stabbed in the back and his head the other day, I worry about his safty, but there is nothing that I can do I have done enough for him its time that he do something for himselfe.

CS grocers...is the supplier to giant foods...a&p...safeway...ma rtins...and others...11 dollars for an auditer...wow....i drove a truck as an independent for a trucking co that was exclusive to them....I made plenty of money...

With the crash of the real estate market housing should become more affordible...and that guy can also get a second job...or mabye his wife can work when he isnt.

The Havre de Grace marina owned by the cuty is also used by the homeless...they use an old sailboat and live for 1300 a year.

This is so true, my ex-hubby was probably there. When I lived in Elkton I passed out food and blankets to the homeless. Most were my ex's friends. They try 2 hang out at the mall and help ppl. with their bags to there car to get some money but they would just get scared and call the cops. My ex cant even go to the mall anymore or he will go 2 jail. He has bipolor and has trouble holding a job. People just see them as dirty homeless ppl. but like u said they r ppl. who have problems and there is no 1 that will help them. Right now he got approved for 2 weeks at a motel which will help him now but what will happen after he leaves there? We dont know.

Sad to say unfortenatly I had got the call about Pop early morning 11-8-o8 from someone who helped take care of him.He had been ill for some time,we submitted applications for housing only to be denied perhaps if he had housing this would have never happend.

I am so sorry for your loss. i have a brother that is homeless. he stayed a marina park also.
i have tried to help him many times. but it is the same thing everytime i try. i do not know what to do anymore. every time i hear they found a body it scares me to death.

Mabye I wasnt clear...I was trying to say that CS wholesale should pay a decent wage instead of cooly wages for its employees. An auditer at CS is an oversight position for loss controll...11 dollars an hour is chicken shit for that job.

The reason c&s exists is because giant and those others mentioned dont have to use their own high dollar labor.
