Everyone around here thinks I have horses for some reason. I must look like a "horse person". I'd LOVE to, but they are just so much daily work and I'm just not around enough. And I've got too many trees and not enough grazing grass. I REALLY want mini Zebu cows or donkey though!

Are you located actually IN Gville. Didn't think you could have what they consider "farm animals" on your proprty there. I know they don't want you to have goats or chickens anyway. But I know a few friends that have.

awesome, thanks gatoranch! i'm going to look into those.

Wow Jana...this board has once again stretched the bounds of the Fest from the retardedness of the Hoff to investment advice and where you can have livestock...awesome.

Anybody interested in investing in the scene...well, let me know.
It's getting kinda rough to keep coming up with money we don't have.

And no...I'm not going to post my financial woes here. I'd make you all feel good about your debt...even K80.

i wish we didn't have to use money and could just use hugs and kisses hahahah. not really. I just hate money.

I think I need to leave NY or the country.

So mackenzie- We'll have to have a drink together to forget about our debts... what do ya say?

It's on like Donkey Kong.

For much of the 90s in Gville I managed to barter for most things I wanted/needed, grew my own veggies, and freelanced for cash to pay actual bills.

Things can still be like that for anyone if you make the right contacts and have something to offer in exchange. A talent for a talent.

This is also how I prefer to do things with bands I shoot. Photos for merch, getting into shows, and a couple drinks.

I have used bartering systems... Photos for merch has always been my favorite thing. However, I do not think my landlord or Sallie Mae (student loan) would like to barter with me as much as I would like them to. I think I would have give some lovin' just make 1550 a month in rent and loans. Maybe I should look into being an escort... I kid.

The last time I was at a bar sat looking all sad asking people for 5 bucks. I got some free drinks.

talkin' 'bout mortgages and renting...anyone know anything about foreclosures? me and my dad are renting a place and we recently found out our landlord has to go to court about a foreclosure on the place we're renting.

I'm not sure about FL but in LA foreclosure auctions are run by the parish/county sheriff's office. That could at least land you the lender's contact info.
