I met the Bishop who owns the house I live in. He is going to sell ASAP, therefore, I need to get out. This sort of sucks, but what can I do? Where to go? The bishop is in his 80's, he doesn't live here anymore. He really seemed distressed about selling. I suggested he get a property manager (me?) to fill vacant apartments and run the house. This place could be making him money, but he doesn't have the right person running it. I wish I had more communication with him, but he is always in India and I don't have his phone number in Maine. I do respect his decision to sell though.
It seems I will need a roommate. Since I would like to have joint custody of my rabbit, it needs to be someone who likes animals, but doesn't have any predator animals themselves. Leetee has mentioned that she had a cat and a rabbit peacefully coexist before, but my ex would never allow that. Whoever it happens to be, I hope that we can come to some basic agreements before hand regarding how we want our home to run.
If anybody knows anyone let me know. I think I am fairly easy to get along with, but I also realize that I am someone that needs space.
I'm going to miss this place. I really was looking forward to having it to myself.

i'm gonna be a little crazy and guess $2.64? Who knows? lately customers have been commenting that their prescriptions are getting cheaper (let me tell you this almost never happens but seems to be happening lately). So who knows, maybe gas will be the same!

I don't know if driving habits will change even at $4 a gallon. Think about what people are being told: Don't drive to work, don't go on vacation, don't buy anything at the store. It is not at all realistic to hope that people change their driving habits until it cuts into them being able to take care of the basics.

I'd say about $3.50.
Sadly most Americans will not change their driving habbits until it goes beyond $4 as most talking heads on TV say.

August 25 2006: $3.219/gal at the Citgo on Colvin & Linden.
When I bought my Prius in Jan 2003 I determined, given then-current mileage patterns and assuming gas prices did not rise, that over the course of my 5-year loan, the cost of my car and gas would be the same whether I bought a Prius [51cty/45hwy] or a Corolla [30cty/34hwy]. The price difference was somewhere around $6000, and gasoline cost about $1.60/gal in New Jersey.
I also seriously considered buying crude oil futures at the same time, but I thought it was a little overcynical [not to mention that after buying the car I wasn't exactly flush with cash]. Now that it's $80/bbl I think it's too late to make any serious money off of it and I kick myself every time I read about rising crude prices. I would have nearly tripled my investment by now.

If the situation in Lebanon continues and expands, I think on August 25, 2006 gas will be at $3.61/gallon. And we'll be thankful it isn't higher.
Start weatherproofing your windows and doors for the winter, folks. The price to heat your home will be even worse than 2005-06.

I hope it will be under $20. Thankfully I am moving 2 blocks from a job I plan to keep for the rest of my working life.

More house dramaIt is almost 1am. I'm sitting on my front stoop and notice Hummer owner from Envyus circling around the gas station across the street two times (In her hummer). I'm thinking, look, there is no more gas for you, the station is closed. Then she pulls up in front of me and asks do you live here. Yes, I do live here. There is a man sleeping on the back porch of your house. OK. What do you want me to do about it?. Hummer owner rolls up her tinted window to make cell phone call. Three minutes later three cop cars come to remove man passed out on back porch steps. He has a false leg which made him look like he was completely bent out of shape. All the while Hummer sits idling until she is safe to go into her apartment. Man completely passed out on neighbors step is a threat to Hummer woman.
libertad - 07/24/06 21:37
When I finally decided to check the man out, my first thought was that maybe he was dead, not that he was any threat to anyone. She didn't need to walk passed him. All she had to do was drive her Hummer past his body to her house two doors down. I also would have called 911 out of my concern for him rather than because I thought that it was a threat to drive my tank past him. Point is that this woman makes me angry for one, having a hummer and two, for not caring about anyone but herself. I guess these two points are hard to separate. Why should I let her life bother me? I don't know, it doesn't make too much sense.

Well if I was walking back behind a house and entered through the back It would freak me out to. How do you know they are passed out. Second you step over them they grab your leg pull you down one hand into pocket for wallet, bank card or keys. I think I would have asked for an ambulance or EMTs to check on the guy but not cops. Wait I just thought of something why wern't there cops at the store isn't there always like 3 cars there any time of the day :-) .

"Man completely passed out on neighbors step is a threat to Hummer woman." Sounds like a headline. I live/used to live in and around there and it amazes me what will throw folks off. I used to live on Anderson and when one of the "street Performers" passed out on our steps, I turned the hose on em and went right on with the day. I see the Envenus hummer a lot, talk about a wasted expense. Who do they think they are anyway, LaNova?

When i was out on the hunt for a salon to get my hair done in when we first moved to Buffalo, i refused to go to that envius place because they have a hummer someone roams around the city in. Nope. Not me. I don't want to give them money for gas for that thing!

Housing updateWe have had more communication with the land lady (for lack of a better word) . The house will not be demolished. Things are going good and I should have at least until November maybe even until next spring to stay. If I could stay until then my life would be so much easier. I'm excited still to see what History i can find on the house. If all goes well I'll be living on my own starting in September. That is such an exciting feeling.

A drag you have to move.
I don't know anyone who needs a roomate. I know the apartment above Kirsten, 2 doors down from us will be available soon. I think the rent there is 500, but i'm not sure...
I wish you luck finding someone to live with. I'm really no help since I don't know anyone. I think that it might be eiser to move in with someone else into the same place as opposed to there place. Reason I say that is cause if you move in with someone who is allready there then it is there place and there rules as opposed to being a joint place, but that really all depends on the person.
boo! that stinks! i can't think of anyone right off the top of my head, but i'll ask around. also, i think the apartment next door to me (2bd) is available for $550.
