starting a cohousing project!

I am planning a cohousing project in the Northwestern part of Washington State. We need members whom are willing to put in $200 a moth for combined food and rent! We will have a huge garden, hopefully goats, and chickens, a completly vegetarian lifestyle, and non manditory yoga/meditation times everyday! I'm trying to make this a young person 18-25 deal, but I'm flexible. The group will also travel together to gatherings, farmers markets, and the like so we need to be on the same page. So if you're interested in the ultimate granola lifestyle e-mail me, I plan to leave in November! -Guenevere

Your proposition sounds intruiging, im in north idaho right now... but my gut says its not for me

 

My gut says "gurr-urell gurrglar." I could use some of those chickens right now.

 

Hahahahahaha!! Hey, just a question--how do you plan on making money after your tenets run out of money? Do you really think that selling alfalfa by the side of the road is going to support you?


I highly recommend you read the book, "Drop City" by T.C. Boyle. It's about this very subject and how it failed miserably. He's one of the greatest author's in the history of mankind, and not only that, but it will truly open your eyes to the reality of life on Earth.

 

Actually my dear "friend" STRAWBERRY, I have a job up there already as does my partner, and so far all the other members. I have worked for the city, the county, Parks and Recreation, for over 3 years, and I'm only 17. That's full benefits when I'm too young to even need them. Plus I have been paying for my own college since 16, and will graduate when I'm 18, with no student loans. Have you done so well yourself, I think not by your bitchy sour attitude. And by the way Boyle, whom I've read from before, is a mediocre author, and the book can go to hell, becuase I live in Oregon where communes and cohouses make more money than you could ever dream of. I would never dream of living there selling alfalfa, I'm not a hick, I'm originally from Miami Florida! To live with ME you must have a job, and a LIFE. Therefore, you can not type rude replies into my forums just for shits and giggles. If you aren't interested in living with us shut the fuck up and go read another thread. Don't try to make me look unprepared. I have lived at or worked in over 5 communes since I moved to the PNW(pacific northwest) in 1996. All of which function perfectly presently. And guess what...they have chickens, and goats, and fucking alfalfa as well. -Guenevere

 

you should still read that book if you want to start one up yourself.

 

she has message to short

 

LOL... You go girl!

 

..and you sound like a lot of fun to live with.Don't take it so personal.

 

Hahahahaha! You know what else I find humorous about this situation? That you PMd me a copy of what you just posted! I mean, if you're that desperate for me to read your response you could have saved yourself the hassle of copy-and-paste and just PMd me a link to this thread. And like gate said--you don't sound like a very fun person to live with. Calm the fuck down.

 

Haha, I like you, Kate.

 

I like you too, Spencer (that is your name, right? I remember you think it's weird to be called Lucifer...)

 

BWAHAHA! Almost... Lodui is Spencer. I'm Derek. But yes, you are right. I do think it's weird to be called "Lucifer."

 

Oops! Sorry, both of your names start with "L" and since I'm dyslexic (not really, but sometimes I wonder...), I get them mixed up. Anyway, Derek, I'll be seeing you around.

 

That you will, I'm sure.

 

That's a bit like the pot calling the kettle black isn't it Kate?

 

Not really. I'm not the one trying to convince total strangers to move in with me.

 

This thread is great.

 

Why did it bother you so much that Mad Hatta wanted to start a cohousing project? It's no skin off your nose whether she does or doesn't?

 

Did it bother me? If memory serves correct, I was laughing in my reply to her. I don't remember becoming enraged about it--and I certainly didn't PM her the same response that I had in the post.
