Just a note - I moved the videos I had in my blogs to my video collection...and erased the blogs. Been on the pages long enough...

KD . . . yur previous mentions of longing to go here, there, everywhere . . . . led to my suggestion of a "homeless" lifestyle like I have. I've seen so many people who have "wanderlust" frustrated and tied down. But your recent comment seems to indicate that you need a "location" for yur "stuff and projects". I do have a location for my "stuff and hobbies" . . . I just have it in a trailer that can be moved if / when necessary. "Save A Pet" just the handy and practical place for it's location right at the present. I've been thru the first month here in Stockton and 3 more to go. A bit bored now but more variety starting this week. All is good.

Hey there - here's the deal. I need a home. something that has been missing in my life for most of the time I've been on the planet. I need some form of security. I've got my three cats - just over a year old...which I hand-raised from kitten hood...they were born in the back yard here and the mother didn't know how to take care of them. Those cats are my kids...my family. I can't set them aside to live in a motor home or camper. I need them in my life.

I do art. So, studio space is a must. I write. That, in and of itself, would be the easiest thing to "live outside the box with", to be honest. But, with the other creative endeavors I enjoy, it means I need a home - even a smaller one - to dwell in.

I have a home radio studio that I do canned shows out of. I haven't been able to enjoy that hobby for about three years due to conflicts of interest in the current living space.

I want to get a banjo and an upright bass (again) and learn how to tplay them. I had started that several years ago, and, had to give up due to conflicts of interest in the current living space.

I am a stand-up magicienne. I need a place to store my act, my props, and, rehearse. And, to build a prop cart to use in the field. Something I had to give up here a few years ago due to conflicts of interest in the living space.

I have lived the most of my life transitory. A year or two here, a year or less there...the longest I've ever been in one place has been the last nine years here...which I am having to give up due to conflicts of interest in the living space. I'm tired of the bouncing around and always moving...I mean, I love travel and I love adventures...but, there comes this point where I sorely need a place that is home. A place where I can go, shut the door, and know it is mine. A place where my creativity can blossom and grow and I can find out who I am before I really run out of time.

I've made some bad choices in life partners early on and that really hurt me. And, before I could make such choices, life had put bad partners around me to grow and develop through childhood in. And, that created a unstable and painful home environment for me.

So - I need a home...a place of peace. I've lived "outside the box" too many years. It's time I wound up in a box of comfort for me. Will it be "forever"? I don't know. I just know it is something I need. Along with family, friends, and people to share life and compassion with. And adventures, too.

Wagons wouldn't roll any further. The pioneers find as good a spot as possible to set up house. Someone gets the bright idea to make a way station for the rest of the folks heading west. Next thing you know, it's a booming community.....

Well, technically it hasn't been a ghost town since all the "new" stuff was built (in the 1950s and 60s?). However, the cost of changing the name in this economy is absurd.
