I know people who love Joshua Tree in SoCal.
My personal experience with the California desert was not so hot. In fact, I nearly got hypothermia there!
You got fired, and you still hang around here like a big loser. Why can't he?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
The only places I can breathe without assistance from drugs are places with low humidity. Temperature doesn't seem to matter.

Desert seems right for you, as long as it's still cityish. Phoenix/Scottsdale?

Move to my desert! My desert is awesome! But yes, lacks, you know, people you might want to educate, or any sort of services or vendors, or pretty much anything that is not desert.
...Of course, it's also about to snow here, so.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I spent a week in Ridgecrest, CA (High Desert -- about halfway between Bakersfield and Death Valley) one June. Actually very pleasant -- highs in the low 80s, low humidity. Just had to remember to pass up the soda machines sometimes for the bottled water machines, which wasn't really a problem because they could always be found right next to each other. (Togetherness can be a good thing.)

Montana and Idaho and eastern Washington were great for me! I don't know how Seattle would be, but I don't remember having any problems when I was on the west coast of Washington either.

Having some problems. Details detonated.

Three months with no work. I really have no idea what to do, and my searches for more work have proved fruitless.
I'm so fucking terrified and at a loss for what to do right now.

Because books.
I've been there, Sean, and it's terrifying. Can you look for something seasonal for right now? UPS and FedEx usually hire extra people to ride along with the drivers at this time of year, and also to load the trucks, for instance.

Holy shit, Sean, that sucks so hard.
If he can't hear that you BOTH are going to get kicked out due to non-payment of rent, I have no idea what to think about what to do. I wish I had some useful thoughts or advice.
UGGGHHHHH. I'm so so so so so so sorry, Sean.
