I have received a message from you, a comment (copied below) in response to my post about the book, “Rough Living: An Urban Survival Manual”. It seems as if your comment was intended for the author of that book, and not for me, a mere commentator. I have forwarded your comment to chairman@fukn.us, which is the email address of the author of that book. I have also updated the post you replied to, so that it refers to the author you intended to talk to.

Glad you liked the post!

I just downloaded both of these books and read Rough Living. I am an ant who tries to support my grasshopper friends without the resentment. A few years ago I did try to get a grasshopper to become an ant and was very disappointed when he refused.(His name was Chris also.Hmmmm….Duncan is this you?…Probably not.) Anyway, Rough Living is an easy and enjoyable read without any misspellings or gramical errors (as far as I could see).

I could identify with some of what you wrote, especially in store meat bargins.I don’t think that I’m ready to find out about the rest.You struck another chord when you mentioned passive agressive behavior.I noticed this in myself about three days before my last (sort of) boyfriend moved himself and all of his stuff out and left me a nasty note one day when I was at work.

I thought that I was one of those people who was one or two paychecks away from homelessness.I was fired from my job two months ago.I’m surprised how far the unemployment and help from my brother has streached.

I just read what I’ve written to you and wonder if I’m not an energy sucking vampire.

This just gives me one more thing about myself to work on. I’ll read your anarchist book soon but I’ll spare you another post.

Thanks for the freebies of tremendous value.
