Hello again,

I have read both of your messages, I am frankly very excited to speak to you. I am so happy I found this site.

Please accept my apology for not being able to contact you personely at the moment, a medical problem occured with a close family member, and they need my attention for a little bit.

As soon as things are back to normal, which should only be a matter of days, I will get in touch with you so we can talk.

I look forward to talking to you soon!

Hi Elizabeth,

Texas and Oklahoma are two of the places at the top of my list.

I'm glad you responded, this sounds like exactly like what I've been looking for.

I can't chat right now, I wanted to say hi though so you know I got your message.

I'll get in touch with you as soon as I can.

Thanks,

Tommy

Hi, I am a man in my 30's. I have been searching for a couple of years now for somewhere I could work on a farm or in a tent like situation.

I love working with older folks, animals or anyone that could use a hand. This could be working for room and board or a small stipend just for needed things such as food, water, etc.

I live in the city now, it is not the life for me in the future. My views and city rules, taxes and crime are not for me.

I currently live very frugally to prepare for living a little simpler. I donated the big TV for a very small old portable TV that uses very little electricity. I have gotten rid of many things that use a lot of energy. I have gotten rid of the big computer and now use my small phone for internet. I have stopped using most of my overhead lighting in favor of a small light that uses less than 5 watts.

Over the past couple of years I have cut down my energy use by 90%. I am about at the point that I could live on solar or small battery power, instead of electricity and be content.

I also got rid of my car last year. Most of the food I eat now could be eaten with out heat, if needed. A lot of canned foods and non pershable items.

I would love to have garden fresh vegetables and things of that kind to eat. My current living arrangement does not really allow that option.

To be honest, I have always wanted to live in a small camper or a barn or something such as that. I listen mostly to good old fashioned radio for most of my information. I am one of the few people left that listens to a small walkman or transistor radio, no ipods for me:-)

I have been trying to live this way because I like to not because I have too.

I know this is a very long post, but I wanted to say Hello to everyone here as a new member and say thank you for such a great site!

If I am a person you think could help you please let me know.

I should ad that as I am used to city life, if you live in or near a medium or large city I might be perfect to help you.

Thank You
