This is a strange site. I can't figure it out. It seems to consist of mostly blogs and random articles from random cyber-beings. If anyone actually discusses anything, I have yet to find the discussion. The whole thing seems to be run by a computer with no human hand in evidence (shrugs). Well, its as good as writing letters on the walls of the bathrooms down at social services.

So yesterday I wrote one of my elected (Hah!)representatives about my situation. I got a computer generated letter from him too, thanking me for my input. Well, what did I expect? Maybe if I was a CEO at Halliburton with a few million to slip in an envelope, I might have gotten the courtesy of a reply written by one of my senator's junior staff members.

I read some article blogged on this site from the BBC (I think) about 10 year old Afghani girls being sold off into marriages so that their families could eat. I could do something like that. I've got a standing offer for marriage from a man I don't love who lives in a place that makes me feel crushed by despair everytime I visit. This man is in his 60's and chances are I'd end up nursing him for god knows how many years, but I'd be indoors and I'd be warm and have food and clothes. If a little 10 year old girl can sell herself, why can't I? No guts, that's what it is.

I've started going over my camping gear. I can probably hold off eviction until sometime next Spring and then head out for the wilds somewhere and make camp. On Federal land you're theoretically supposed to move every two weeks, but that's only if they discover you. I figure I could potentially hold out one way or another until about a year from now. The trouble is, I don't see how I can survive a winter camped on the National Forest.

Is ANYONE out there? .-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
