https://www.aol.com/news/homeless-woman-living-inside-michigan-165735135.html Homeless woman was living inside Michigan rooftop store sign with computer and coffee maker Contractors curious about an extension cord on the roof of a Michigan grocery store made a startling discovery: A 34-year-old woman was living inside the business sign, with enough space for a computer, printer and coffee maker, police said. “She was homeless,” Officer Brennon Warren of the Midland Police Department said Thursday. “It's a story that makes you scratch your head, just somebody living up in a sign.” The woman, whose name was not released, told police she had a job elsewhere but had been living inside the Family Fare sign for roughly a year, Warren said. She was found April 23. The store is in a retail strip with a triangle-shaped sign at the top of the building. The sign structure, probably 5 feet wide and 8 feet high, has a door and is accessible from the roof. “There was some flooring that was laid down. A mini desk,” he said. “Her clothing. A Keurig coffee maker. A printer and a computer — things you'd have in your home.” The woman was able to get electricity through a power cord plugged into an outlet on the roof, Warren said. There was no sign of a ladder. Warren said it's possible the woman made her way to the roof by climbing up elsewhere behind the store or other retail businesses. "I honestly don't know how she was getting up there. She didn't indicate, either," he said. A spokesperson for SpartanNash, the parent company of Family Fare, said store employees responded “with the utmost compassion and professionalism.” “Ensuring there is ample safe, affordable housing continues to be a widespread issue nationwide that our community needs to partner in solving,” Adrienne Chance said, declining further comment. Warren said the woman was cooperative and quickly agreed to leave. No charges were pursued. “We provided her with some information about services in the area,” the officer said. “She apologized and continued on her way. Where she went from there, I don't know.” The director of a local nonprofit that provides food and shelter assistance said Midland — which has a population 42,000 — needs more housing for low-income residents. “From someone who works with the homeless, part of me acknowledges she was really resourceful,” said Saralyn Temple of Midland's Open Door. “Obviously, we don't want people resorting to illegal activity to find housing. There are much better options.”

Dear Abby: I am sad that I haven’t found a long-lasting husband. GOOD GOD, WHAT ARE YOU FEEDING THEM, WOMAN? I’m divorced, and my previous relationships and marriage look like intentional hits. GOOD GOD, WHAT ARE YOU FEEDING THEM, WOMAN? I’m not sure what brought this on. GOOD GOD, WHAT ARE YOU FEEDING THEM, WOMAN? I’m in my 40s and I still would like a man in my life. GOOD GOD, TAKE A COOKING CLASS, WOMAN! The men I’ve met all seem to enjoy having their homes to themselves. GOOD GOD, THEY JUST WANT YOU TO STAY OUT OF THEIR KITCHENS, WOMAN! It’s kind of frightening. GOOD GOD, FOR THEM, TOO, WOMAN! Some female friends have told me that the good ones are already taken GOOD GOD, TO KEEP THEM FOR THEMSELVES, WOMAN!, so I’m waiting for a divorce to happen. IDIOT! Should I try online dating? GOOD GOD, TAKE A COOKING CLASS, WOMAN! Do you think I should reach out to another state for someone? GOOD GOD, THAT WOULD BE CROSSING STATE LINES TO COMMIT A FELONY, WOMAN! — Impatient in Pennsylvania Dear Impatient: Stop waiting for a divorce to “happen” — those men have been burned and aren’t likely to be candidates for marriage in the near future. Because an increasing number of matches are made via online dating sites, write a profile and post it on a couple that cater to mature adults, preferably who live relatively close by. If you meet someone, take things slowly and you may have better luck. I CAN’T THINK OF A SINGLE THING TO SAY ABOUT YOUR QUERY.
