  1. Yes because they charged me rent no matter what and if I didn't pay they would kick me out. Well, to my understanding, you cannot claim to the government that you need money for rent if you are living with relatives....in fact, the government encourages you get assistance from family, before taking advantage of government services. Just my understanding, I haven't actually had to get welfare, although people seem to think that on themselves. I don't know the situation but this was a month before when my own money was running low and I have my own separate apartment. You have your own separate apartment and you're paying your parents for this apartment? They are my landlords and there are three apartments and I live in one of them and pay rent. Everyone should really give that statement a really hard look and take some time to think about it. No kidding. His parents have no money but have 3 apartments? He moved out, but lives in his parents' apartment? No see my previous post
  2. I would hazard a guess that he is still at his parents place as he has been busy posting about the "end of the world" and sharing other not so nice things on his Facebook Page. About 8 posts in the last 24 hours. ...I think Gabe is starting to go "down the rabbit hole" on top of his "other issues". Yes I'm still at my parents and the "not so nice things" are the truth of what's going to happen whether you believe it or not. .. would you mind posting a link to your Facebook Page? It's incredibly disturbing and I wish everyone would read it before offering him any advice. Everyone should really evaluate whether they want to help this person. His page is filled with hate, conspiracy theories, and all around vile things. Truth is a hard pill to swallow but if you have a problem bring it to me instead of making threats about what you'll do.

No because you want to use it for the wrong reasons with the fact that you disagree what I support and think I'm unstable. I have a learning disability nothing more.
  4. I'm already living with them for one month and like I said I'm standing firm with my beliefs.

  6. I'm still here but like I said they changed their minds when they needed money and I said that I'm firm with my beliefs and either you agree or kick me out.
  7. You would make more money panhandling for change on a street corner with less effort. You have been on a road to failure for many...many miles now. And he'll probably stay on the road to failure indefinitely. Why would he change, when there is almost always someone, be it his parents or the taxpayers of Canada to subsidize his chosen lifestyle. By his own admission, he doesn't take anything seriously unless his back is to the wall. He admits that he's not interested in looking for another job, or even getting more hours at the job that he has. As someone else said, his actions speak far more loudly than anything he says. I find it ironic that he feels so good about selling 9 comics for a dollar each that he wants everyone to know about it, when working just one more hour a week at his job would have brought him more money. I am happy about selling my comics because that's what this thread is for but if I had any job update it would be posted as well.

I don't know the situation but this was a month before when my own money was running low and I have my own separate apartment. You have your own separate apartment and you're paying your parents for this apartment? By "apartment" I think he means "bedroom" or maybe his parents have a "rental unit" in their home. Gabe, your OW worker knew you were/are residing in your parents home though right? Yes.
  10. Only one and it's an investment. Ya you've tried to justify it so you can "respond quicker to ebayers". Seeing as how you need wifi you won't be responding while working will you? If so why are you responding during work and not working? If not do you think it makes much difference if you respond at say 5pm when you get home from work and check your emails and once at 11pm when you go to bed? How many questions/responses in a month do you get on ebay? Seeing how you haven't sold anything since Oct 22nd I don't think response time is your issue. You can continue to try and justify the spending though No I won't carry it to work with me but there are about five of six apps that you can sell only by using their mobile versions because I've tried otherwise and it didn't work. Which "apps" Ebay, Letgo, Instagram, XE currency converter, Kitco, Offer up,

  12. I have no intention of ripping people off. Generally, people don't. I am totally sure you believe that, but necessity brings out who people really are, as the discussion in the probation thread is revealing. Keep your head above water, and best of luck to you Thanks
  13. I understand the reasoning for the above sentiment and I too would like to see Gabe STOP "dealing" in collectibles and get his personal life sorted out and focus on the really important things but I doubt that will happen any time soon, whether it be due learning disability/mental health issue, laziness or whatever. I don't know if or how he could be nominated to the HOS and it is probably not an appropriate option at this point. To my knowledge, the only person he has hurt is himself and he hasn't actually ripped anyone off. All he said was that he could have stolen (but didn't) and that he inappropriately used some social assistance money, which he is on a repayment plan and it is being taken care of through an appropriate administrative process. Based on his shaky financial status and other issues, is it possible that he could rip someone off or things could go off the rails in the future and have another "Chip" situation on our hands? Sure. However, I don't think we can put him on a list like that for an offence he has not actually committed. I also imagine that Gabe is on A LOT of personal "do not deal" with lists anyway... Thanks and I don't know how many lists I'm on and the government is making sure they get their money. Oh, I guarantee that you are on a LOT of lists, and the government always gets its money. Annoyingly so but yes.
  14. Annnnnd....what did you pay for these 27 comics? Those comics are from that short box of comics So I paid 193 CAD and there were 147 comics in total. So 1.31 each I bought them for.

Well, to my understanding, you cannot claim to the government that you need money for rent if you are living with relatives....in fact, the government encourages you get assistance from family, before taking advantage of government services. Just my understanding, I haven't actually had to get welfare, although people seem to think that on themselves. My (limited) understanding of Ontario Works (OW) is that if a recipient is living at home with his/her parents they may not receive the "shelter" component of the allowance. However, there are exceptions, such as the recipient paying rent to his/her parents is a 'pre-condition' for a recipient to be able to stay at home. Again, I do not work for OW but just what I was able to read so I don't know if it is 100% factual...Regardless, the actual requirements and stipulations would have been established up by Gabe and his (former) case worker. Yes before I got assistance my parents separated from me so that I can get assistance and I told my case worker that.

  19. Spending money that wasn't mine? Yes it wasn't mine and I tried more then once to give it back and they didn't want it and because of that I had to use the money because at that time I had no other choice if you want to consider it low then go right ahead. When I told them what I did they didn't even care they just said they would work out a payment plan. Are you seriously trying to justify spending money that doesn't belong to you? How could any perspective comic buyer possibly trust sending you money, or anyone trust sending you a consignment, knowing that if they are not happy with their purchase or you sell an item for them, you might get desperate enough, and spend their money on yourself and not be able to refund them or pay them? Please understand this is a rhetorical question. Your admitted actions have already answered this question for you. While I certainly have no right to judge you, your actions once again, speak louder than any words you might say. I'll answer this for you. Yes I've spent the money that the government gave me and I already listed all the things I tried to do but you seemed to have missed that. I have received money from people multiple times and never spent it oh and guess what? I've had situations where I could have but didn't. Unlike others I don't hide nor glorify my mistakes I own up to them.
  20. Yes because they charged me rent no matter what and if I didn't pay they would kick me out.
  21. Spending money that wasn't mine?

When I told them what I did they didn't even care they just said they would work out a payment plan. I'm really sorry Gabe but something is NOT sounding right here...Again, I concede there could have been some administrative hiccup, but If you did the paper work correctly, if you spoke to someone or tried multiple times, this should have been ironed out long before a repayment plan was even necessary. Trust me, the government rarely "does not want its money". Was it the Niagara OW Office? The fact is, you KNEW it was not "yours". You should have put it in a separate account and not touched it, period. I'm curious, if you were working, why did you have no other choice but to spend the money? Was it for comics??? Yes it was the Niagara OW office and this was a month before I got the job and my money I saved up from the other job was running low. I had no other choice because rent was coming up and I had nothing to pay it with. I couldn't get a loan, I begged my friends to lend me money, I begged my family to lend me some and I would pay them back, I tried to sell my stuff and nothing worked. Now if you know me and I'm begging for something then you know I'm in a sticky situation. I didn't use the money for comics, at that time I was paying rent, my phone bill and food.
