Why are you getting evicted?
Do you have good references?
Do you have first and last months' rent + security deposit?
Does your boyfriend have a real job?

I have a small cabin in Stanley Idaho - Use it twice a year at best. Its yours to use till August 2 - on the 6th its rented out for the rest of the summer. It would be nice to have someone use it. Things last longer when used regularly. Has Direct TV, hot water, gas appliances, little loft, one bedroom, one bathroom, and is 200 feet from downtown stanley. All 100 people of it.

later.

Actually, it was an afterthought.

It was lovely to erase the pedestrian original for that though.

This is just TOO good to be. I smell troll but then, maybe not.

I'm wondering if the OP put as much effort in trying to keep the place s/he was evicted from as was put into the post?

I think you are brave and heroic 420 Bunny for putting out what you need. Often times the universe doesn't manifest for your needs unless you admit them both to yourself as well as to others.

Pay no attention to the dark spirits on this board who would chastise, tease and make humor of at the expense of your current position.

There is honor in all work and I'm sure that blessings will fall on your boyfriend as he pursues his talent - his art - which has been bestowed on him by the love of Creator. To aspire to music is one of the highest realms of consciousness and he needs you at his side lest he be discouraged by your current living situation.

I too have been in your situation although it wasn't one that found me on the edge of eviction. My landlord in Mill Valley was a practicing capitalist pig and decided to sell what had become my home in order to slake his irresistible gluttony for cash. He ruined my massage and aura reading practice and for months both I and my seven cats were homeless.

So I guess my message to you is to have faith in yourself and your man and the universe. Ask that your needs be manifested and pray for those who would discourage your brave requests. The universe will provide and it will probably take the form of a loving individual on this web site who will give you a shot at getting your life started over again.

In the mean time I'm available for spiritual counseling should you feel the need. I grant reduced prices to people in situations.

Praise Be. Peace Be One.

Is "burner" simply a euphamism for "sucker"?

Oh yes, it was all your landlord's fault. Maybe if you had a real job you could afford to buy your own place. Aura reading :roll:

Eplaya is a great place to ask about living in the desert. Eplaya is a crappy place to ask for a place to live in the default world.

Hope you find a safe and happy place to live.

You know bunny420...there has been a AD in RenoCL for way OVER 2 months for a free room in exchange for cooking for a dissabled gentleman and his young care giver nurse. An he bumps it every other day!

Maybe that something you could tap into...oh but you dont have internet do you?..Oh but your on here...


Hmmm..sniff sniff...troll toe jam.


And Im very sorry ..But as the name tells ya...Im a MOM...Get off your ass and find a friggin DAY job DJ!!!!!!!!!!

Life is balance! Seems like someone is putting in way to much time in the "Play" and not enough in the "Pay"!

yes no

take give

Life is balance...bad fortune sometimes finds persons whom are over spending on one side of the balance...


Is that Suissical enough for you OEDick?

It was not worth a shot.

You are about to be homeless so you decide to sign up for an account on a forum where nobody knows you to an ask for a place to live with your first post. Forget about introducing yourself.. guess thats too much work right.

If you really are trying to find a place than stop creating accounts on internet BBSs you've never posted on to look for a place to live.

I will however give you a couple tips on being homeless.

Panhandling.. someone will give you something for water eventually

Cooked stray.. better than risking food poisoning with some dumpster dived dinners

Get your ass to a bigger city.. more ppl=more pocket change to panhandle and more strays to eat.

Hey 420 bunny, I can't say I know how you feel but if its any consultation, my wife and I went belly-up :( :x on our house in 2003. We were fortunate that our landlord did'nt mind our 7 cats and 1 dog. We are now in a position where we are negotiating to buy the house we've been renting since Feb 2004. All I can say is keep your head up. It might seem like the end of the world but things will improve. Wish you the best.
