May be able to stay now..

No spam,please. If get section 8 aproval here. As is won't get it as walls have mold as are making me ill,sinuses congested chronically,due to roof damage from hurricane. Also place uninsulated. If she got new storm windows and fixed roof atleast it may pasws. This is good news as place looked at fell through as were uninsured.

Still here..

While I appreciate your comments to my posts, I would ask firstly that they pertain to topic and are not spam in nature. Thanks! Have found a place to live in E. Durham but have to wait for new landlords to send in paper work to section 8 and then they need to come out to see place before they release funds to supplement my rent there. Had to pay rent in full where am so broke now,even though have section 8 which really blows.

Listened to 'Occupy Wall st.' talk on radio today and see similarities with my situation when they speak of the trickle down effect of Wall street's capitalism and corporations on the little guy like me and how the movement is growing in momentum as more and more people across the US make the connection with what's going on there and with all of us and the recession and lay offs,evictions,foreclosures and the new face of poverty. I can definitely relate as am being threatened with eviction myself though my landlord doesn't want to have to go to court to get me out as costs money to get sheriff to come and out the process can be a lengthy one with no money interim. She has elected to wait on me to leave and bullied me for the full rent instead which though not thrilled with is better than what faced earlier with her as have a roof over my head. What about you? How is this effecting you if it is at all?

Rain

Spam deleted.

Rain While we need it, We don't need it every day, But, it's been pouring daily, from where I sit, Watching the drops of water fall and trees sway, With the wind blowing their branches and leaves falling, Instead of for rain, I pray for a sunny day, Listening to birds sing, Feeling the warmth of the sun, Not the coolness of the clouds in the sky, Then I can get something done, Outside, tidying up, I'll try, For now the streets are soaked with rain, buckets of the stuff have filled my flower pots, It has now become a pain, As sun too is needed for fruit,crops,trees and forget me nots, So now instead of a rain dance, I will wish for a sunny sky, As I watch the animals prance, From my window by and by, Yes, it's high time for some sun, I long for it's warmth on my face, and the summer fun, It's vibrant glow on this place, That not is wet and dull, The streets resemble a ghost town, Empty and the sounds are at a lull, No activity can be seen in this now sleepy town, The rain seems to have washed away the people as well, As watered the ground and soil, The air is heavy with a damp smell, Soon, men will toil, Under the hot sun's rays, On roofs,fields,streets, They will seem as if in a daze, While others complain of the heat, And wish that it would rain.

new posts at other url..

no spam,please as deleted. Thanks! look for new posts here as blogger forwards my blog to other url on dropaholics if I don't post daIly. guess how they keep blogosphere current and cleaned up as many haven't posted anything new in years and should delete their blogs. I transferred some posts from old blog,you can't read as page disappears as can see,to new one called ,welcome to Closer to sane. Again,sorry for the inconvenience and pain in the neck.

Still moving..

No spam please! Thanks.

Still looking for a new home. I am on top of the list for section 8 which could supplement my rent where am and have an appointment with them in Catskill on Tuesday. wish me luck. Had offered to take the empty but now rented 1 BR cottage with garage,next door,put things in garage out of sight,affordabley but landlord refused. Yet she complains of my things outside. I can't afford to pay anyone to remove it to a storage site or pay for one so there it stays. despite saying she would let me stay if paid her which did,back due money,she still wants me out and is threatening court action. I tried and it is hopeless with this unreasonable woman(akama,ana bergen,saugerties,ny Tantra Products/Tantra Saugerties, NY. (845) 247 9010. Ray & Akama Bergen: the Hero Goddess Institute In order to keep our marriages secure most of us relate as if love and freedom ...what a bunch of crap. she's about as spiritual and sexy as a snake in heels.) who is spiteful and a bully. All can say to new tenant is good luck,will need it with her. she rehabbed their place to get tenant but be assured she will do nothing once in as is her m.o. she is horrid. she says i bad mouth her on net like here and on craigslist but have to vent somewhere no don't I? if complain her a bout disrepair of place,she retaliates which is illegal but she has the upper hand and uses it. now she doesn't even mow my grass which I pay for in rent. sher threatened to keep my security if I moved so wouldn't have anything to give who is spiteful and a bully(why held rest of money to move with,starting eviction from her in response). All can say to new tenant is good luck,will need it new landlord. seems best to go to court as can't find a place but one up the pike in herkimer county but not mine yet as had to fill out and mail them more forms. will speak to judge and tell my side of story..prefer to find place that takes section 8 as after year can move anywhere in US with it and not stuck in HUD,senior/disabled housing with gossipy,busy body neighbors as was my experience there in past,losing my section 8,having to wait 5 years to get again,ugh.. hard to believe these people offer,therapy,help to anyone as they are so creepy,greedy and nonspiritual in every way and downright ugly. what a scam. see their bogus web site now. he may be a therapist as claims but what qualifies her i ask to give any advice?! goddess my foot!

Do not stand at my grave and weep..

No spam please,deleted. Thanks!
In Memorium (to my mom)

Do Not Stand At My Grave and Weep

Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there, I did not die.
