Communes for retired women? Is there anyplace in the US for older women who want to live together?

Fuck...I can just imagine...

50 or so wrinkled old bats spending their days nattering away wading through three feet of catshit just to get to the kitchen.

IF she leaned conservative...

Well, SHE is ME! And as a small business owner, I am quite conservative.

I'm not on plentyoffish. Isn't that mostly "hookups?"

There must be an easier way to connect.

Yep, Mesa AZ as well. These are inexpensive alternatives for the retired and many are super clean and nice.

Don't get women confused with men. Older women, as a rule, though there be exceptions to any rule, do not behave as 'dirty old men' do! You may be a perv yourself, but you don't need to always take others at your own evaluation.:)



What about my inbox? There's nothing there that I can see.

Understanding what motivates a person, even somebody in politics, requires understanding their roots. Martinez is DACA 'dreamer' stock, illegal grandparents, an Affirmative Action law graduate, from El Paso, Texas - not New Mexico. She has no family history or ties to this state and would often make her legislative decisions with no care for how the people of New Mexico, the American people here, would be affected by them. Her true loyalties are going to be to Mexico and Mexicans, not to us.

Nothing against her for that plain fact, it just is. We are all no more and no less than what we come from. Many Americans today might think 'blood doesn't matter,' 'race doesn't matter' or 'family doesn't matter' but no Mexican would be that stupid! To them, and to most of the rest of the world, those are the only things that matter. You need to watch what she does, and did, not what she says.

whispering leaves - "What about my inbox? There's nothing there that I can see."

I sent you a PM. It says on my end "not opened yet."

Never mind - you may not be upgraded right now.

Nope. I'm not. I'll have to fix that soon. I never found out which turned out to be the best way to pay - anonymously, if possible.

Tons of 55+ communities on Florida -
And surely in Arizona and Nevada

Some are doublewide neighborhoods - you can buy a new or used double wide on an acre for slightly over $100,000 one of my clients told me

All depends on the size of house and yard you want - but it’s AFFORDABLE!

Most of these communities organize events for holidays - Memorial and Labor Day and Fourth of July parties at a clubhouse -
Choose to mingle or bring your own friends

That link wouldn't even let me scroll to read the article..about a queer bikers club. They wanted money to read their site! But why not a queer bikers club, so long as they don't bother any of the rest of us? There's about every other kind of club now. I did Toys for Tots runs myself, 'poker runs' where you get a card in every tavern you stop at.:) I don't remember there ever being a discussion on who might have been queer or not but that was 20 years ago, before 'who are you shagging' was the only thing on people's minds.

How many cats do these places have?

There is a nice commune for old ladies, it's called the garbage dump.

Hahah make a shelter out of cardboard boxes.

silvernest is a rental group for older people like us, it's on the net. post for a roomie or look for a room.

Yes, they are called Senior Living Apartments. They cater to the 55+ crowd. Many are affordable living and are within a community area. They would have a club house and lots of amenities...

I'm in Oklahoma and at retirement, I may want to move into one of these...

These go for $430 per month...

[link to www.rentalhousingdeals.com]

This unit has 3 bedroom/ 2 bath for $640 per month. The 2 bedroom units and 1 bedroom units are less expensive...

[link to www.apartmentguide.com (secure)]

There are more in Oklahoma City and range from $600 - $900 per month...

Or dogs? That depends upon where they are: in town or not, city or county, which state, which neighbors, communal, apartment or private house living.

Seniors on fixed incomes have to be careful about how many animals they keep, for they have to make provisions for their care with other people in emergency, especially if they have medical issues. Get them fixed whilst you're still out and about! There are a few foundations that help with the cost: NM is extremely expensive for veterinary care so a list of names of those who work with charities and/or will give you a discount is a precious resource.

Thanks for your reply. Yeah, I don't need an entire house, or if I have an entire house, it can be under 500 square feet.

I was just thinking it'd be delightful to have a commune, where retirees come together for potluck dinners and/or breakfast, and yet have their own little house for sleeping and/or quiet time and/or watching television, enabling them to have as much (or as little) together time as they want!

I have an 11-year-old Sheltie and veterinary costs are significant. But...I wouldn't go anywhere unless I could take her with me.

She's my little girl.

I could not pm you back but got yours. I could leave green but cant pm

You just described prison.

The set of the show "Moms".

You can sign up on the black bean thread.

... convents? ...

Commune is a less popular word in the US that implies "cult" to everybody or hippie hellhole where everybody has to come to breakfast so the lead hippie can preach and make sure all are doing chores assigned. Nobody US likes that one.

You want independent social living and that IS what people want. Exactly what you do. They call it by any name here but the C word and you won't get anywhere with it.

But if you are in the US just start a house? Show a 501c3 and they may let you charter it as long as its legit? You can do it all yourself too, depending on how good you are with the document perfection and filing thing.
You get started with a house or building and a "for rent/conditional, pet friendly" and best wishes to you.
Nobody here can think of where they'd rather live or how on their money and we put few expectations on each other. (Its not home if you have to live on egg shells) mostly GLAD of what each other does.

*disclaimer....ours is our church's and that is so VASTLY different than secular nfps. After all these years, i dont know how I would meet the hassle secular living and any kind of corporate business is, as it has become in some places.
Its all roses if a bit humble because we all made it and everybody cares about everybody as well as ignores little petty stuff that does not even really matter.

If there’s one for sex offenders, I would imagine there’s one for retired ladies as well.

I've been staring at this thread for two days wondering why anyone would choose to live in a community of only women.

Women HATE each other. Good Luck.

All or nothing. Dependent on the nature and personality of the place.
Some places are more solemn and austere, some are more family style and laid back. You have to look for an order that matches you most because you aren't in it to match an order, so to speak.
Pretty sure most still ask the 2 questions of the ages. If the answer to seeking sanctuary for gospel life and study is no, the second question is "what do you want of us?" You can be ready for those.

If you are not one, then why are you wasting your time?
The pitch is funny but crude, and it does make the answer obvious

Thats another thing that makes it easier with us. People come and go as the tides or opportunities of life call them and theres just always some of us around, thank God and so far.
We are in no hurries and some worries. We wonder how we will have enough beds and meds for serving monks, let alone volunteers or others that fall on tough times over this reset business.

HEY this sounds good....ha ha

Pros and Cons of Polyamory
People often think of monogamy as something black-and-white—you either are or you aren’t. But to me, it is all gray areas...

I don't know what that poetry is, but it didn't answer the question.

There is nothing romantic about being trapped with only women. Been there, done that. I still get migraines.

It’s called independent living at a retirement home.

Like everything costs bucks.

Humane society las cruces (dona ana?) Helps with vet bills by income for old people and veterans etc - funds get released first of the month call them and they call you back.

Also, go to Private Vet Offices. The hospital, emergency and group places here are corporate, exploitative and not very good? Like they just take peoples money and let their animal go or speed it along. Stick to the private drs in practice.

Make sure and tell pharmacists your rx is for an animal too. Walgreens cut half off a lasix rx we got for kola there.
We will be supplying a label coming out here that has pet health foods and we have them for income challenged.....when we have the money
