I'm so confussed.........

I'm still confussed about this site.. It is sure not friendly to some of us... Like me ...How to use this site??  I need help.. I suppose you tube can help me.

Monday Morning, I'm so glad for it. I'm living in Seattle,WA and sometimes I feel I am living on a desserted Island.  I have lived in this City since May of 2010 and have not found anyone to chum around with.  All these people walking around, going to work, walking with those little pods in their ears, looking down at their phones, or ipods, not looking up.  In their own world, listening to some sort of music, or Texting while walking ... almost slamming into people,, and not saying sorry.  Just keeps on walking... looking down.. till they come to the corner and still not looking up.. keeps walking and ......

Ok.. so I need people in my life.  This seems like Prison to me. Is this what prison feels like.???  Well, not totally prison. You ask the reason for this loneliness... OK, I will tell you its partly due to saving money.  My need right now is to save money.  And let me tell you.. Its the hardest thing for me to do with what little moeny I have.  My Social Security is not that much, and Companies are not knocking DOWN my door to hire me.   So when I receive  it, I pay myself first,  Then I pay my Bills,,  The rest is saved for the Move. 

The Move... For so long I have wanted to move to Florida.. For so long,, that has been my desination.  But,,, the more I read about Florida.. And it was soo far away.... And I only have till the end of the year to figure this out.... OK.. So I figured it out....

So let me go back to before I left Reno,NV.  When I thought about moving after I recieved my Housing Voucher.  I started looking for an apartment or a small cottage in and around Reno.  I thought I found an apartment, but they did not accept The Housing Voucher.  So, kept looking. I had decided to look near Reno into Sparks,NV for a place.  And I just could not find anything.  Go figure...lol... That was in 2009.  Then I started thinking about Florida. And also another State.. Washington.  The City I that I thought to live in Florida was Pensacola,, And the City I was thinking about in Washington was Seattle.  I chose Seattle.  And thought ..well, if I didn't like it here I could just head on down to Florida.  And that was my thoughts till about 2 weeks back.  There are so many things happening in Florida.  By this time the City I choose changed to Clearwater.  but the more I read about Clearwater, St Petersburge, and Tampa Bay.. it scared me.  So much Crime. Yes there is a lot of crime here also.  And whats going on with the bicycles??  And cars ???  So many cars not seeing the bicyclists.. and killing them.. I was thinking of getting a bicycle... but after reading about all the deaths.. Well forget about it... So,, I started looking around Sparks,NV.  again.. I thought, maybe things have changed. I found 2 places that are Section 8 friendly.  One on the outskirts of Reno, in the suburbs called .... Sun Valley.  I had lived there before.. I can tell you.. there are lots and lots of Mobil Homes..

So there are now 2 Apartments I am looking at. The first one is located not to far from a good friend.  There are lots of Shopping around. Since I don't have a car any longer I need that close by.   And this apartment is close to Sun Valley, and Transportation, and a Grocery Store and a Petco,where I can go buy Jenny's food.  OH. and they offer a washer and dryer. Which that alone would save me money...

The other Apartment is in Sparks,NV.  Now this one is my Favorite.. but, I have to think of the whole picture and how well it will work for me.  So here is what that apartment has to offer me.  An apartment so close to the Sparks Marina that I could walk across the road to it.. and walk around it.  A bus stop right in front of the complex. I also have 2 friends who live very near this apartment and also there is the Western Village Casino right across the street.. Hum.. dinner out there would be nice every so often..  Sorry, no washer or dryer offered here at this place.  But,, the Marina.. Water.. it has always been the Magnet for me.  Now what I have to figure.. is the rent. I just thought of... I need to compair the two..
