Hi… I am going through the death throes of my marriage and need a fresh change of scenery for at least the short term. I am clean, able-bodied, of sound mind with no addiction issues. I have some experience with livestock, landscaping, gardening, and domestic affairs. I hold a black belt in Brazilian jiu jitsu and can teach self-defense. Please reach out if you have a spot for me.

I wish you well for the future.
Do you have a particular area in mind to get to?

You are living through a harsh time. I feel for you, adrift. Have faith, always build, never destroy. The sun sets, but it also rises. These may seem like silly cliches, but I have found them to be a path forward when I am low. Luck to you!

Wow! I would consider it but it couldn’t really be too long term as I do have children from a prior marriage. 3 months at a time perhaps? I will send you a moosage

You can stay as long as you want and only 6-weeks is needed for the GMC Ticket exchange.
