~You don't get out of homelessness alone.~

Elsewhere

I think a while ago I got some emails from people in other states inviting us there, maybe offering to help us move there, I don't know, right now I have no idea where those emails would even be. If you're reading this, still interested, and are in one of these states, please do email me:

  • Colorado
  • Denver
  • Georgia
  • Hawaii
  • Maryland
  • Virginia
  • Washington DC
  • Ohio
  • Oregon
  • Washington minus the DC
Thanks! :P

Doesn't take a genius to figure this one out

People, think about what you're saying before you comment on a blog. Telling a homeless person they're an &*$W^&@ for blogging and that they need to get a life makes you look really stupid and pathetic. It brings up images of 45 year old pervs who still live with their moms and spend all day in their basement leaving crappy comments on all the blogs they read because they think they're all that. Now, who needs to get a life again...?

Come on, people. If you don't like something, no one's holding a gun to your head and forcing you to read it.

We're still looking for a place, we almost thought we found one it sounded really good and legit but when we replied it came back, and a search for the rental company turned up nothing. The person left no phone number in the email, so there was no way to get ahold of her. There aren't any privately owned places that we know of. As for jobs and temp agencies, we have tried that, they never called back. So we're just still looking.

Right now in addition to coming to the library to look up stuff we're waiting for the third Wednesday of next month because until then we have no way of getting anymore food or gas, right now we basically only have a box of cookies. Getting a bag from a church does not help, they give you things that you have to cook. Those bags are pakced with poor people who have homes in mind, not homeless people. Most programs around here even require you to have a home. If you could help out with something, that would be appreciated so much. I get it if you can't, but if you can, thank you. MasterCard or Visa gift cards work better because they are flexible and work in more places, so if we need to get both gas and food on one card, we can.

I looked up both Etsy and Artfire again, and I decided on Artfire because Etsy requires you to have a credit card, and pay listing and transaction fees (oh yes you do). So I'm going to look at it more and start thinking of what I could make to sell there.

blah blah and stuff

  • We checked out of the motel on Monday and are back in our car.
  • We're still searching for an apartment under $1000 that will rent to one who has a wrongful eviction. Please pray about this, I'm hoping we can find a place to call home soon, so we can concentrate on finding a job for my mom and just getting back to a normal life. That's all I want, a normal life. I can't believe that's so hard.
  • I'm really beginning to think about starting an Etsy or an Artfire shop. If you have one and are familiar with how it works, please let me know! I'm confused about selling fees and stuff. Especially with Artfire - I'm not sure if the basic account has selling/posting fees or not.
  • I really like the song Hopeless for some reason this week. Actually, all of Drastic Fantastic; when I first heard it I didn't like it too much, but now that I listen to songs on it again I really like them all. KT Tunstall is pretty much my favorite singer right now. She has been ever since I first heard Suddenly I See whenever Ugly Betty premiered.
  • Anyway.
  • Last night I actually finished reading two magazines, and this morning I finished one. Haha.
  • That's it for now.

Comments

There! Comments finally up. I don't know why Blogger wasn't letting me look at them before.

Tomorrow morning we check out of our motel room. We have still been searching for apartments, it's surprising how many ads that are on Craigslist are the same scam. We've been looking in the paper too, but there's not a whole lot in there that is under $1,000.

Also, I am still behind on answering emails - sorry!! I'm trying to get to them, I'm behind on everything right now. >-<;;

Unrelated: many months ago I downloaded GIMP, and today I decided to try it out a little while we still have the room. I made two things:

Yay layers! I actually managed to use them. xD

busy

  • Still looking for apartments. Craigslist is full of ads that are the same scam; the person had to move to another country and they have the keys and stuff with them, they left a lot of electronics in the home, blah blah...
  • Blogger for some reason isn't letting me look at comments, I have a lot to moderate sorry I haven't been able to do that yet!
  • I'm still very behind on answering emails, but they're coming soon...my inbox is scary. I am sorry!
  • I am not sure what else to add...I think that is about it.
