what do you want to do? start over in another country? squat and/or build something worthwhile in your home country? travel?

this idea so resonates with so many of us. it may be a few years but i hope we all find something similar to it.

nice post. thanks for the info.

thumbs up for couchsurfing.com. just make sure to create your own account and fill in the blanks. most hosts won't take you if you don't take the time to let them know who you are, what you're up to, and what's interesting about having you visit. fyi, if you didnt know, the CS community in...

gorgeous pics ... is one of the two barns shown the one you think is dilapidated? you should come visit Tennessee ... i'll show you some real dilapidation :D seriously though, sounds like a great project and i wish you the best. and its *good* to be picky. people need to know what's up and...

holyshit im in love. how's this project going?

fuk ya! i want a treehouse revolution, now!

i think you're right in general. i'm not a real traveler just grew up and spent most of my life dirt poor. clean and well fed wasn't always an option. i spose its why i see something like acting gentlemanly or w/e to be a luxury that can be savored. its not something you get every day, but its...

re: basemain ya that was what she determined in the article. you just can't 'learn' it, you have to be raised on it. and she describes the several forms of the basemain used depending on the situation and the individuals involved. its really a lovely article if you can ignore her speaking as if...

i'm certainly from the lower class socioeconomically speaking. i spose its why i always had a deep sympathy for worker's movements. i saw the hell my parents went through, and as a by product took out on us. capitalism as it stands today is a miserable system. however, until most folks realize...

i love seeing all this awareness about local voting. that's where real democracy is possible i think.

i have voted in every election since i turned 18. and i wrestle with that question 'do you vote' every time. its hard for me. it actually psychically hurts me at times and i wrestle over it alot. /shrug but then that's how i function ;)

i would guess that these folks are ayn rand fans or have been 'educated' by her followers. amongst conservatives, and boy was i one, there is what the lowly plebes, like myself believed the conservative movement stood for, and what the elites in control actually stood for. these are technically...

there was actually a fantastic article on exactly what your grandmother described in the NewYorker, ya i know its a richie rich mag, but i like david sedaris =). anyways it was about a woman who'd been living France for years and wanted to understand the intricate details of the baisemain. check...

my brother, who i actually have enough evidence to believe him, says this is absolutely and statistically true. he kept trying to get me to do the same. /shrug i prefer intimacy. for some the intimacy is baggage, for others the mindless sex is baggage. i will say this. he's been with this...

here's a link to a great easy to read discussion of the legal terminology involved. its specifically advice for property owners in the state of TN, but i would imagine many of the same concepts (color of title -v- no color of title, etc.) apply everywhere to one degree or another. the...

more necro here, but i thought my experience might help: i thought i was having horrific tooth pain. so bad i couldn't move my jaw, barely could talk. but as i felt along the outside jawline i found it went all the way up to the hinge where the jaw meets the skull. i honestly thought it was...

thanks for the info. may be trying to convert my 95 volvo stationwagon into a liveable space so i can do something like this.

sorry for the necro, but: another idea would be simply to have an extra battery that you charged from the wind while you left your van battery alone.

if you do torrents then there's a bunch of free info out there already packaged for you. pm me and i'll try to hook you up with the infos. (i'm assuming you mean the agri-cultural movement)

just got to KY a few weeks ago. staying with family till i have to move on. rumor is the welfare system in KY is pretty widespread b/c of the poverty and lack of education. so it might be easier to get on the dole here. ive been to downtown Lexington once, and it looked pretty nice, not sure how...

don't know quite where to begin, but starting here looked good. ive got 'til december to figure things out. currently im staying with family in KY, but im from TN before that and i'm looking to head back, possibly to Nashville. im interested in anybody with info on squatting and refurbishing...
