I am glad you are discussing some of these things happening as well. Yeah understand what you mean by reading things that are not such a "happy" topic but it is definitely reality. I have been interested in the IC/cohousing] but being disabled for now it has remained just a thought. Even the cohousing sadly seems to be available just for the upper middle class echelons. Thanks for your suggestions. Yes, please get back to documenting your struggles. :)-_The SquawkerRamen Noodle Nationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08585445968105871227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-185881030087155227.post-70500229570010725732012-08-19T22:37:07.553-07:002012-08-19T22:37:07.553-07:00Yes, the Sqauwker and I have discussed this topic ...Yes, the Sqauwker and I have discussed this topic from time to time -- we seem to split on whether we want countless brothers and sisters! But you can ask the Squawker what you think about that one, and we'll definitely check out that link.<br /><br />I'm glad that you enjoy our writings, especially when you consider that we're doing something downright unappealing -- what, get people to think about hardcore poilitics? Shock, horror, Heaven forbid!<br /><br />In that context, 'enjoyment' is indeed a relative term, but...by all means...get back to documenting your struggles! By doing so, you give yourself a voice that otherwise doesn't exist to the TV talking heads who insist that prosperity is just around the corner...question is, which corner? --The ReckonerRamen Noodle Nationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08585445968105871227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-185881030087155227.post-90725861039069305892012-08-19T11:41:13.172-07:002012-08-19T11:41:13.172-07:00Oh, I also wanted to say, have you ever consider l...Oh, I also wanted to say, have you ever consider living in an Intentional Community? This might be a really good fit for you. I've been looking into them for several years. Start here: http://www.ic.org/, and look closely at places like Dancing Rabbit in Missouri, Shannon Farm in VA, and well, there are hundreds of them to choose from. I'd be interested to know what you think!<br /><br />I 'enjoy' reading you blog, well, you know, as much as one can enjoy reading about stuff that makes you really angry, right? I have one similar, and it was meant to be about my daily life below the poverty line, but it is depressing to put it into words most of the time.

I know a lot of people in your age bracket who are having an equally hard time in this so-called job market, to which fewer and fewer seem to have access...keep in touch and let us know how you're doing.

Yes that is especially terrible to lose a farm and you had the skillsets to prepare and provide for yourself but I know many people are losing their farms and land. Storage when it comes to prepping is imperative. I watched Doomsday Prepper and noticed the ones they showed had plenty of extra space to store their stored goods. No one bedroom apartments with 500 square feet or less in that world. I realize things are far harder on older people who have lost jobs and I believe there is real job discrimination out there happening to the over 45 set. Thanks for sharing.

Now I have no place to work or store these things. At almost 60, I'll probably never have a job again that pays more than $8 an hour.
