Looks like we're moving... Again...

Post by JTalley »

Our financial crisis seems to be about as bad as it can get. We're apparently down to our last 69 cents. Literally. That's it. I counted it myself. We have a Canadian quarter as well... Not very useful in southern USA.

My dad and the rest of my family have been fighting since December, but he came by yesterday and apologized for everything. To make up for it, he's letting us move into one of his extra houses. Perfect timing, too- it's the 30th, and we can't pay rent for next month. Or electricity. Or water. We have just enough gas in the tank that if we're lucky we can get a quarter of our stuff to the new place without borrowing other people's cars (which I'm pretty sure we'll have to do anyway).

Since this place is free, and it's actually in town, it should at least make things easier on us.
I went over there today and snapped some pictures. The house itself is only two rooms, no bathroom, no kitchen- just two rooms. It's full of junk, so it has to be cleaned out. As such, I didn't take any pictures of its inside. So here's the place. (Yeah, there are dirt roads in the city limits of Sulphur. #-o )

Dude,

Hang in there. I was about in the same way in my early teen years. Mom and Pop troubles.

My thoughts are with you and yours. And again Hang Tough.

We went over there today and did a bunch of work, cleaned things up a bit, and got some of the stuff out of that house. I just hope we get the place cleaned out by tomorrow or the next day, because rent's nearly due here.

The paint... Well, I'm cool with it. It has character :muhaha:

Mom hates it. I just remembered that her most hated color is green.

Creativity to keep the peace?
I saw a show where they painted everywhere inside a prison, pink.
Believe it or not all the inmates mellowed out! Lol...

Might not seem like much but the green could put stress on someone with enough problems already.
Its pretty intense, but like I said 'free' is awesome and so is creativity.
