I have some very good news!
Thursday, January 15, 2004 by kona0197 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Well as most of you know, my girlfriend and I were facing being homeless and I was facing the possible fact of a job loss.
Until Today.
We got a 60 day notice to vacate the premises today so my better half started looking for a place to live.
We went to look at apartments but we got stumped with the credit checks and deposits. So we decided to call our Landlord to inquire about if she had other Apartments for rent.
She did.
So now we are going to move to a new studio Apartment downtown, and the best part is the deposit we would have got back from our current residence is being applied as a deposit to the new place so we barely have any money out of pocket for the new place.
The bad news is the only pets we have to get rid of is the dogs but hopefully a family member will take them in.
I am deeply gradified for those here who have helped me and prayed for us. I am VERY proud to be part of this community.
After all, Kona is not going offline! (although I know there is more to life than the Internet.)

I would never move into an apartment where dogs are not allowed. People who don't like dogs are subhuman.
Then again, I still have to move out.
Good luck on your search, konamon.

Kona, Keep your chin-up and your eyes glued to the classified section of your local Newspaper. You still have some time to be a bit choosy about where you're going to live.
Best of luck!

All the places that I have lived have "apartment search" places. The apartments pay these places to find tenants. you go in, tell them what you can afford, and what you need, and they find it for you. Some apartments are in complexes, others are private rentals. You just have to put a little work into it. You have two months- start now. Nothing goods comes to those who just sit on their hands and let life lead them around.
My husband and I moved out of our first apartment because they changed their dog rules (it was by pounds, then they changed it to number of pets). We paid an early termination fee, but we didn't care. Our pets are part of our family.

We are far from just "sitting on our hands" We are in fact actively searching and working to resolve the problem.
And to all those who have posted here: again thank you.
BTW Chance is a "she" dog.
We have decided that if we can not find a place by the end of this month we will have no choice but to get rid of Chance because we need the 400 bucks that would have gone towards next month's rent for the new apartment.
As it is we only will have about 350 dollars from our security deposit, about 500 if my taxes come back before the 3rd of febuary, and 700 bucks from Suzi's SSD money. When we moved in here we had 3000 bucks but now we have to scrap together money to move.
Alas I will conquer this problem with my chin up.
Now I am off to finish my Harry Potter book.
A special thank you to KG and CC.

you just never know how things will work out, but it all feels like a play and you have to hope the play ends good.
