Camp Felly
We bought a tent.
which basically means that no matter what happens, we will never be completly homeless...
maybe that is a rather bleak way of looking at the future. But seriously, it will work out wonderfully in our travels to Buf to check out apartments. We can just camp there and make it a fun little getaway. But the screwed up part is that I have a crapload of relatives in the youngstown/lockport/wilson/ransomville area up north of Buffalo. Brothers, grandparents and aunts and uncles. But really the only place that we could really stay would be my grandparents house due to circumstance.
I love my grandparents. Really I do, but with my grandpap's recent decline and the stagnant emptiness/loneliness of that house when nobody else is there... well i just don't like staying there.
And I count myself so lucky, because my gripe with not wanting to stay there has nothing to do with the fact that I am in a lesbian relationship and would be bringing my girlfriend with me. The last time we were there, they absolutely loved lauren. I am so very lucky for such a wonderful and loving family.
Alas. I love tenting. And so it shall be.

Hello hello

As I am so confused about what to do next or when, I couldn't even begin to tell you what I need, but if I figure it out somewhere down the line, it is great to know there are great people out there that know the area...
thanks ya
Not sure how that helps you two, but if there is anyway that it/I can, let me know!
Tenting really can be quite fabulous. I'm working on turning more of my friends onto it.
incidentally... one thing that you should know about me is that i pretend that i drink heavily, when really two rum and cokes will secure my spot lying under the nearest (but not necessarily the tallest) table.
i thank you for your generosity, buffalo really is the land of friendly neighbors.
Well, we have wine. I drink gin and keep some around. And meal, we don't serve worms usually. Something about Jim's religious upbringing. I don't ask questions. But yes, food, booze, and running water. We offer all these and more if you feel the urge to escape your tent.
