I Just updating everyone as to my loss. I extremely depressed, and I mean extremely. I tried to locate some places but the money for security depoait and all the other expenses are beginning to prohibit me. I'm getting very scared. I have only one thought lately, and I may have to do it. I appreciate all your support and caring. But it getting hopeless.
last Summer I mentioned to all that I may be loosing my Current place to live. Well It is Finally Happened. My Landlord complete lost all hope of saving the place and I have till March 11 to Move out. I need help because I can't emotionally or physically find a new place or move all my stuff of 15 years.
I am at a loss. I need to find at least a 2 bedroom that is less than 700.00 a month. I have no family and no friends I know who I can ask to help with a place I have so much I need to more and scared as hell. I'm even thinking of Just ending it all to escape the pain of all of this.
Please Someone help.

Lambdastar... Take a deep breath and slow down. You're going to be OK.
I'm afraid I can't help you with a place to live but this is a good place to talk it out and regroup. Start checking the paper for an apartment. Probably more "rooms for rent" these days with more people trying to supplement their incomes. Perhaps Craigslist will have some unexpected options for you. Do you have a church you like to attend? Or a community center? Those are also good places to find help.
Please, just take it slowly and things will find a way to work out. Remember, it is often the bumpiest road that leads to the best view.

I highly recommend rent.com! (that's where I found my place to live..and I even got a $100 visa gift card after I moved in to use wherever I wanted). Take it day by day...pack a little here and there...start with the things you don't need everyday. Try a box a day...it's way less overwhelming when it comes to crunch time and needing to have everything boxed and ready to go. As for places to get boxes..grocery stores and liquor stores are perfect options!
Stop by an Apartment Search location. They are all licensed realtors and have strict rules about who can post a vacancy. They're the most legit, so you can be assured of safety.
*hugs*
I just sent ya a ren mail with some info..
You still have time... and believe it or not, things always have a way of working themselves out!!
Here is a link to Craiglist as well... They always have a lot of listings..

Ouch. I can't really offer any good advise but I can think good thoughts for you and hope your transition goes as smooth as possible. I can't imagine packing up a place you have lived in that long. Where does one even start after that long? Flylady has some good ideas for packing up your house. Good luck.
big hugs!
I don't know if you are on the MNRF Friends listserve or not, but people often post info about needing a place or having a place to rent there. If you're not on the list, I'd be more than willing to post something for you, someone may have the perfect situation and you just don't know it yet.
Please hang in there. It sounds like you will be going through a big change of life. I am not a big change person but everyone I have had to do has always been better once said and done.
I will keep my ears open for any place that would work for you.
Good luck.
Give us an update when you can, so we know how things are going!!
*hugs*
Just remember that everything happens for a reason, and sometimes things fall apart for other things to fall into place.
It will all be okay!! It will all work out soon. ;)
Hey Gerald- I was casting about the Forums whilst doing my laundry and came across your posting. First thing, and this is very important, remember to breathe. Second, there are some very good ideas posted here. Third... you will survive. I just went through the same thing... after 27 years and 10 months of living in the same apartment, I had to move in 10 days. That included finding an apartment. My landlord had passed away and after a year the estate was settled. A developer bought the house and land with intentions of putting in 20 town houses. I lived in the upstairs apartment with the downstairs apartment being empty. I started to sift through things, throwing out stuff or finding it a home. Everything else was boxed and stored on a pallet at work. At this point I still hadn't found an apartment. Then the new owner offered to let me stay another year. Huzzah! However, the terms of the new lease made me responsilble for the WHOLE HOUSE, YARD and DRIVEWAY. That was not going to happen!!! I thought I might have to move into one of the apartment complexes near the University of Delaware (NOT). I got lucky and found a private apartment much closer to work and far nicer than the old one. I still had furniture, clothes and other items to move but I did it in 10 days with minimal help. I know it's tough as an older guy (I'm 60) to be uprooted but by golly I wish I had done this sooner. Turn your depression into resolve. This is an opportunity... seize it. Mark my words- after all is said and done, you will amaze yourself. Best Wishes.............. Felix the Bubble Wright
((hugs))
Hope things are going better for you!
Hey Lambdaster,
Haven't seen you post in awhile and I was just wondering how you were doing. Please drop a note and let us know that you are OK.
MG
Haven't found anything as of yet and I'm not doing good at all, Extremely depressed.
Keep your chin up, it will work out in the end. Know that we are all thinking of you.
*hugs*
Yes, we're all pulling for ya! :)
I don't know what to say, or what comfort I can give, and I don't
know what help this may be, but hold on, keep going, don't quit.
The greatest enemy we will ever face is despair, it will tell you there
is no hope, no solution, no way out, save one. It's a lie, don't believe
it.
I have heard it said that a man can endure anything if he has but hope.
Find hope, find it some place, find it in God, find it in family, find it in friends,
find it here, but find it.
if you need someone to talk to please email me parseexception@gmail.com

UPDATE:
I am currently in Progress of hopefully buying a House in Chaska. I still waiting to see if anyone gives a offer tomorrow if not GMAC will accept my offer for the House. It is a Forclosure home and I offered 89,000 for it. The only problem is I been ill and by back is somewhat out and I have to get all my stuff into a 16 foot POD by March 12th. I hoping I can do it, I most likely have to do it alone as usual. Also If I get the House we may not be able to close till the 17th which will make me live in my car from the 12 till I can move in the house.
My biggest dilemma is the fact I will need to raise about 4000.00 in closing costs. I asking my parent for help but they may not be able to. If I could find someone to help out I will be getting a 8000.00 tax credit that will repay the loan if some helps out.
This is my only option since I couldn't find any rental that I can afford in such short notice. If anyone can help call me at 612-986-9235
Gerry
That is definitely good news regarding the house!
Just to let everyone know I got the House, Still have to find 3500.00 for closing but hoping that will com through before the 12th of March. I will be at 788 Stoughton Avenue, Chaska MN.
Congrats!
I am glad things are moving in a positive direction, you definitely deserve it! :)
YAY!!! I am so glad to hear that!!! ;D
I cannot help financialy but could lend a strong back and weak mind to assist in loading the pod. As the others have said things always work out for the better as long as ye have hope and faith in a higher power. Good luck in all that you attempt to accomplish.
Well Thank's Dustmannmn, And if anyone else want to help over the next two weeks, Call me at 612-986-9235. I could use the help and I even get some beer and Pizza,
How nice to live so close to fest!!
I was planning on assisitng this weekend, but I have company from out of the country arriving tonight and will only be in town till wednesday 3/11. Sorry things did not work out for me to help you. I have not seen him for 3 years he lives in the Phillipeans and is home for a will reading. :'( >:( :-[
I'm so glad to hear that you have gotten a new place AND so close to fest. You'll have all kinds of company over the run! Charge 'em $10 a night and put a few bucks in your pocket! lol
I wish i could help with the packing/moving process but I am up to my elbows in moving at my Gramma's house. Imagine 3 stories of home with naught but paths thru it to reach kitchen, bed, toilet, sewing machine. No, I'm not exaggerating. It'll take us weeks to get this sorted out. Ugh.
Hope your move progresses much faster than this one.
Things are progressing. But the move out has been extremely painful. Last Saturday I was at the mall of America and as I was leaving in the parking lot I slipped and landed on my back. I was in pain till Monday, but I had to get started moving things out into the POD. I still working on this and MUST have all I am taking out in the POD bu the 11Th. I spending the last night here on the 10Th and having the POD moved on the 11Th. Them Sleeping at the new place after that.
Closing is at 2PM on the 10Th.
I'll be in CHaska Most of the Day Monday for the Plumier and City to de-winterize the place.
Gerry

If you can do that in one weekend you are a saint.
Well Just a update. I still looking for help unloading my POD. I now at my new House and been slowly emptying the POD. But Had to go to the Emergency Room Friday night due to respiratory distress. Other than Diabetes, I have Asthma. and I couldn't breath to well and discovered that I actually have Pneumonia. I have just this weekend to finish the move in. and Been on Antibiotics and steroids to get rid of this pneumonia. So hope you all are doing great none the less.
Been taking care of Gparents who have been on non'stop cough. Hope ya heal up quickly!!
Just to let everyone know I finally finished cleaning out the POD and moved in the majority of my stuff in the garage. Now I established in the house and did it all alone. Hurt the heart knowing that.
You sound rather bitter about it.
