People havent heard or seen me for days because i have been in hiding.I am getting tired of all the personal questions and personal stuff like this offends me.i have been cleaning up the house because my land lord informed me as of September 1st...the rent will be 1,000 so i have been scotting looking for a roommate and it is kind of hard now.A great many people are out of work and I need someone who likes cats.I refuse to get rid of Kramer..shes my buddy and has been there for me in thick and thin.Kramer has been ill and I dont know what to do because I cant afford a vet.They made a mistake on my medicine again and I had to pay full price.I have been crying over this and that and realizing the some people just are not worth it.ANd the way they ended my friendship was cruel and such...He didnt even call.She did and i dont know her from Adam.I am trying to live again.I have been going to parties and learning to trust people again..but i refuse to date again.Brad was enough and I still have some of his clothes which are on my bed and the cat sleeps on it.I signed up for Work Source today and I am going to attend class.WHen

I'm sorry your rent is shooting up and that you are dealing with all of this.
I am so glad to hear you are singing and trying to live again.
You hang in there and one of these days you will break free and find life fun and full of hope.
Hope Kramer gets to feeling better.

It has been quite some time since Brad passed away; and I know that you have mentioned before that you were having to make choices between buying food and paying rent. I feel as though it may be time to prioritize and cut back? .. Have you ever considered scaling back your lifestyle? ..
1,000 is VERY expensive for one person and a few cats. MANY places are pet friendly and you now fall into the bracket of being able to live in a senior citizen community ( 65 and up.. or something along those lines) which offers reduced rent. Instead of having to live with a total stranger and choose between eating and electric, why not move somewhere a little more reasonable? .. like a one bedroom or studio apartment, in an area that is cheaper?
There has to be other places available, to you -- which are pet friendly. There are mobile home communities, and many individaully rented homes/apartments/condo's that are listed on craigslist that you might consider.

Perhaps this may be a GOOD thing, a clean start, and a chance to leave behind some of those difficult memories that happened in that house?

to all who replied..Kramer is a bit better and I have got a roommate! SHe is wonderful and shes a Libra like me and her birthday is October 4th! My birthday is October 5th! She likes the oldlies like I do and is a very nice person.SHe moved in on Saturday and it has been hectic but now I dont have to worry,1,000 a month is expensive for where I live,..but it is a ranch house and Kramer loves it.The senior housing here is in a cruch and you have to wait.Kramer threw up today and now she is resting and she has been warming up to my new roommate.I am in the process of looking for a part time job and guess what ? I am going to join a church and I feel so much better and i feel forgiven.And noone knows that I came out and she doesnt know I am gay and this is the way it has to be for awhile for I cant come out and tell people who I am as of now and it is a lonelye existience but I didnt ask to be born this way and to find out when I was 63.
