Thanks, ankle issue has been discouraging. Just a sprain, but they take soo long to heal, and sometimes you think you are back to 100% only to have a small little twist or in the last case a slight jarring make it as sore as when you first injured it.
Looks like jogging is off limits for several months.

Being broke, things are getting worse here in SA for the average person and thus the middle class will disappear and they foresee a 2 year rescission for us here.

Sorry to hear that Henk.

Hey Buck, how about an article about out-of-the way great spots. I always read in Field N Stream and other mags all these wonderful places but you have to be Donald Trump to even try to hunt or fish. Maybe some place not so hot price wise but still great. Places Davey Crockett would hunt!

Lost our elimination final last night in Basketball, we played like a bunch of sheila's and had no luck at all...

 

[Bucksnort101]

Good idea Njaco, but I wouldn't want to give away my "secret" get away from humanity spots Although I don't really think there is such a place left in Minnesota anymore.

 

[Njaco]

Maybe an article on finding that "Lost Place" and if you do find it.

EXAM BLOCK !!!!!!!!!
ARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH !!!!!!

 

[Henk]

I do not have a clue what to do about a situation I have been placed in and I hate it when I do not know what to do.

 

[A4K]

Is it something we could help you with here on the forum, Henk?

 

[Wayne Little]

Hope it works out for you Henk!

 

[Njaco]

Henk, if its any consolation, I'm in a bad spot myself.

Among numerous other little problems, the place that I have been at for nearly a year was sold about a month ago. The new landlord called me to say when my lease is up he wants to renegotiate the lease - at twice the rent, over $2000!!!!

The problem is I can't move for a number of reasons. Have no clue what to do and really getting visions of living on the street. It might be that bad. I want to throttle someone.

I really didn't want to bring this up but that was the nail in the coffin. I'm venting and its got me twisted.

 

[Wayne Little]

Sounds like the new landlord is a greedy prick!

 

[A4K]

Chris, sorry to hear that mate.

My advice, hit the new landlord up ASAP about exactly what he has in mind regarding rent, and try to bargain with him.
If worst comes to the worst, and you have to move on, try to cut down your posessions, or pack them down and try to store them at a mate's place or somewhere. Keep only the basics by you and stay with mates if you can, or if not, in a youth hostel, cheap motel, or trailer park until you find a new place.(I've lived in a car for a few months too once, other times in my tent, and once on a hotel fire escape for a couple of weeks when I was flat broke - that was not pleasant)

Mate, if I was in America, you'd have a place to stay no questions asked. Hope it works out for ya.

 

[Henk]

Thanks guys, but I got my head sorted and found a solution for my problem. Only thing I have to say is woman. You all know what I mean.

Chris mate I know what you mean. One of these days I might also face the streets since it is just to expensive here now to keep on living.

 

[Njaco]

Thanks evan and Henk that is the other little problem I have. Women.

My GF has been out of work for a year (thats another story!) and our reserves are gone. Its paycheck to paycheck and this will kill me. I might be single real soon.

 

[Bucksnort101]

Keep you chin up Chris. I am a firm beleiver that when you are down something always comes up to turn things around, you just need to keep your eyes open for it.
You may want to check into the legality of his just putting you out on the street, there has to be some Gov't agency for the protection of renters in your State (there's a Gov't agency for everything these days).
I wish you luck.

 

[Screaming Eagle]

that sucks chris, I wish you all the luck and hope you get through this.

 

[Wayne Little]

Glad your sorted out Henk!

Hope your luck changes for the better real soon NJ!

 

[Wildcat]

Sorry to hear that Chris. I hope everything works out for you mate.
