Carpool to DragonCon?
Is anyone driving to DragonCon from the greater Fort Myers area? Or from further south and passing THROUGH this area? A friend wants me to come to con, but I have no $ for airfare -- especially after the car repairs that will be done tomorrow. If you'd have room for myself, a large suitcase (I costume!), and my walker, please message me. I don't ( Read more... ) -
Need a place to live in FL!
Starting to panic. I've still got no place to live as of Nov. 1st. I'm on Housing Authority waiting lists, but they won't have any vacancies in time, and my limitations as a disabled person are not helping. I've got a couch offer in a 2nd-story apt -- which I obviously can't get to with a walker -- and another couch offer in a place with no heat ( Read more... ) -
Need cell #s for DragonCon.
Heya to all my buds,
If you wanna hang out with me at DragonCon, send me an LJ mail with your cell # and I'll send you mine, which you can text if the signal is as bad as usual in the hotels. My phone can get texts even if it has just a single bar, while for calls I need at least 4.

Destination: Tampa
Spent the last week thinking & researching... I've decided to move back to Tampa. I need more nightlife, and I need to finish my degree. It's going to take some time to save up to go, and to deal with my gov't loans, but a year from now I'm kissing this lame town goodbye. -
It's official!
Thanks to some very awesome con-folk, including Tom, I was able to buy a ticket to DragonCon. So that makes it official: I'm going! It looks like I'll need to get myself up to Orlando, then carpool to Atlanta. I still don't have crash space, but I'm working on saving for a room contribution, if needed. Anyone on here need a roomie? -
Over the sickness.
I feel better today. Yesterday, I'd planned to go to the doc, but I felt like maybe the congestion was breaking up, and I really did not want to spend Valentine's Day at the doctor's. V-day was my Anniversary with Ted, and it was the first time in a dozen years that I'd be spending it single, So, my roomies invited me to a movie, and I did that ( Read more... ) -
DragonCon carpool? Room?
So I am literally flat broke, but if I save a bit now & next month , then I can squeeze out enough for a DragonCon ticket. Then, I think I can save maybe $80 before con. That doesn't get me there & back. Flights are $273 round-trip, and bus is 17hrs for $164. :( If I drive up to Tampa to fly, it's still $241 plus parking. So... Anyone ( Read more... ) -
