Daniel, does your Cuz A. know he is moving out, and B. have a definite place to go?
Yes, and sort-of.
Here's how it all lays out as of right now. He gets about $200 from the state to pay for his housing and utilities. He does not give this to me, and uses it for spending money.
The state has a plan called Section 8 (heh) housing, where you can stay in an apartment for 30% of your monthly income. So basically Steve would only have to pay $60/month for low income housing. But, he whines, he'd have to pay for things like the electricity and gas and a phone. He "Wouldn't have any gas money" for his truck, and he can't abide by that.
His solution comes in the form of a dirt-floor shed on the land of his friend Ed's farm. It has electricity and there's running water, and did I mention the dirt floor? Steve plans to live out of his truck there for a few months. He's leaving all of his stuff at my house, except for his clothes and toiletry for now.
God knows if it has a toilet, even.
So yes, Steve will be gone, his crap wont.
Basically he's three steps and an education from writing a manifesto.
He thinks so.
Yeah, DSJ, I've always gotten a private laugh out of the fact that Klinger's psych discharge and low-income housing are the same.
Hi! If you would like to know what my life is like, just watch
Monsoon Wedding.
The end.
P-C, I just found this on IMDB:
A story set in the modern upper-middle class of India, where telecommunications and a western lifestyle mix with old traditions, like the arranged wedding young Aditi accepts when she ends the affair with a married TV producer. The groom is an Indian living in Texas
Tell, please. Is there news we should know?
Heh. No, but that's what Indian weddings are like, and that's what Indian families are like, and that's what being Indian is like.
I'll have to watch it. I've seen Bend It Like Beckham, but not that one.
{{{P-C}}} Just because.
You need to write brilliant Lorrie Moore-esque stories about life with your family.
Bend It Like Beckham
is also an accurate representation, believe it or not.
Thanks for the hugs.
I should write stories and stuff.
I'm not sure if Steph is around but I need to know which size yogurt containers to get for the dessert recipe she posted.
Just the regular size -- 8 oz, maybe?
