It was an interesting mental picture--a whole row of you playing the pipes ;)
We are enjoying the advantages this nicer and more expensive apartment affords, but still not sure we like being over here. I have to go back for a dr apptment today and not relishing the hill. I still don't know where the nearest health food store is other than a whole foods over three miles away--maybe that is the closest.
I'm still unhappy at being forced out of my home, or what I imagined was my home.
How is your search going? No one wants to rent to my daughter--they aren't supposed to discriminate against welfare recipients but they get around that neatly by saying all applicants must make three times the rent because the gov't says that one shouldn't pay more than 1/3 of their income for housing. Ha. So she's in a motel with a microwave and tiny fridge.
we've kinda put searching on hold for the holidays, our rent doesn't increase till feb 1st, and we haven't been given a move out date yet, although I suspect they won't kick people out till summer, so we'll manage I think.
it sucks that landlords are being so crappy about renting to your daughter, there are way too many shady landlords around.
you should have her look into habitat for humanity, it's by no means an immediate solution, but it'd be worth her getting her name on the list at least.
