| childoflight. User ID: 430905 United States05/10/2008 12:40 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I bought a small portable fan from HyVee of all places yesterday and is cost $8.00!!! I runs for over 100 hours on 2 D batteries! It might be worth having for an unusually still and sultry night.Do be careful. Do not leave food around the tent and don't ever have the smell of blood on you if you rae in an area with wild cats or bears.Do you have a plan for high winds or tornados? |

Quoting: kind of excited. 427483thankfully it's almost summer, im getting out of this rental, will loose last months rent and i doubt he'll give me the damage deposit back either, will probably give all my furniture to thrift stores, but i don't care! i'm going to live in a tent, nearby where i can get some work! i'm kind of excited! live in a rural forest area, so it's not that bad! gotta go with the times! errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr................ you rented a house and it only took you 1 1/2 months to move out because of expense? either you have no grasp of financial matters or you are a complete liar looking to stir the turds. i pick #2. you are lying!

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 333742 United States05/10/2008 12:46 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I lucked out.. quiet and clean, nice view, big windows, very spacious as it's a studio and basically the same size as other one bedrooms except it's just one big room instead of more smaller ones.. I couldn't be happier.  It's great to be free, to not be chained down to having to live a "normal" life filled with women and expensive toys that suck away all one's disposable income... |

| Wraithwynd User ID: 360108 United States05/10/2008 03:04 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I seriously doubt you will find tent living to be up to the standards that you are accustomed. Besides, wait until the rest of the world learns you do not have a residence address. Homeless people (tent people) tend to be quickly regulated to the fringes of society. Further there is the small matter of running water. When I was a kid we did not have running water - unless you consider running out to the well, dropping the bucket, and running the water back into the house as running water. We used an outhouse, had to sponge baths in winter and 'shower' under the 55 gal barrel in summer. Imagine running out side in the snow to go to the bathroom. It was not 'fun'. Didn't have 'lectricity either - lights from kerosene. No TV no Radio, etc. Sinkhole list: Thread: Sinkholes Updated 28 Dec 2010 find a sinkhole, add it to this thread, please.

| anonanon User ID: 269684 United States05/10/2008 04:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Put your furniture and things into storage for a monthly fee. Save up for a small RV with a potty and electrical hookups. More and more people are living in RV's and RV parks or just campgrounds. Unlike a trailer park home, you can move it easily every time you need to go elsewhere to get a job. Some Walmarts and shopping centers are even allowing RV's to park in their lots overnight. You can probably find that info on-line or on any of the RV-er sites. |
