    Yes I think most Walmarts would not bother you either. Save the money so you can eat something each day.

    Im just lucky i have a tahoe thats big enough to sleep in and the windows are tinted. But its jammed with stuff now not sure what to do. Got my car insurance due in abou a week 65 bucks then i need to eat and gas up.

    Im still just sittin here at lowes with not an idea of what to do. If i do one thing it will f up another thing. And who knows how long it will take to sell my tools.

    At least its warm and not in the dead of winter the only good thing i got going for,me.

    If i can find a steady place to park it wont be that hard for me. I could breathe and think and accomplish things.

    Parking at walmarts or hd will get,me kicked out by the cops. The security watches the parking lot and if they see the same truck hasnt moved it will draw suspicion. Unless i ask and say im traveling?

    You also have a car (transportation) and tools you can sell. Stay positive.

    If I were you, I'd do Uber with the car and make a little money instead of just sitting on my åšs. I'm sure there's decent ways you can make some money until you go to orientation.

    Driver.. too many free places to park to pay. Go to walmart and park. If they tell you to move, then move. An apartment complex or something.

    Where are you located and where do you need to get to? Maybe someone is heading that way? Do you have access to paypal? If you're near a pizza place, give me name and address and ill pay for one for you on my credit card. This could happen to any of us, chin up and good luck.
