Every morning, after our parents had gone to work, I'd wait for the mail lady to pull up to our box. Some days I would put enough change for a few stamps into a mason jar lid and leave it in the mailbox. I hated bothering mail lady with this transaction, which made her job take longer. But I liked that she knew that someone in our house sent letters into the outside world.beach wedding dresseshttp://www.weddingdressesparty.com/wholesale-wedding-dresses-beach-wedding-dresses-c-1_20noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8221748.post-51339506152729832622011-02-27T22:32:56.914-08:002011-02-27T22:32:56.914-08:00good articlegood articleprom dresses 2011http://www.weddinggownswholesale.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8221748.post-67904883635607731292011-02-16T05:12:35.630-08:002011-02-16T05:12:35.630-08:00If anyone I respected as much as you but who lived...If anyone I respected as much as you but who lived much closer to us in Minnesota, Wisconsin or Iowa made this offer, I'd very strongly consider selling the house and taking them up on this.

Even if it were not your intention, I'd suggest a book such as "Creating a Life Together," by Diana Leafe Christian. It might help point out some things that would help your proposed association succeed in the long run.<BR/><BR/>You might also want to consider a posting on one of the intentional communities websites (e.g., www.ic.org or www.icdb.org).<BR/><BR/>My impression is that there are many, many little (forming) groups that have good intentions and ideas. But, with a few notable exceptions, most do not seem to attract throngs of people.<BR/><BR/>There does not yet appear to be a huge swell of people seeking alternative living arrangements. So, groups seem to grow more slowly than one might hope. I think that will change, but for now I think those of us who are moving in that direction need patience and steadfastness.<BR/><BR/>Good Luck,<BR/><BR/>BradAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8221748.post-62619724662493756102007-11-22T07:41:00.000-08:002007-11-22T07:41:00.000-08:00For people living in urban environments, there is ...For people living in urban environments, there is another way to bring more butts into the home that has a long tradition behind it, and tends to flourish in hard times -- the boarding house.<BR/><BR/>Setting up a home to comfortably rent out a couple of rooms or a whole zone to others can make a big difference to both people needing a room and to home-owners or renters.<BR/><BR/>It's a very flexible arrangement: the same slightly adapted house can be a B&B or student homestay when times are good, a boarding house when money is tight -- and take in family members easily when things get really rough.<BR/><BR/>We've happily housed 4 adults and several pets in 850 square feet, by creating enough distance between bedrooms -- ours was in a 'stealth' garage conversion, the real bedrooms were reserved for the guests -- shoehorning in 2 common areas instead of just one (expanded kitchen and the existing small living room, in our case), and scheduling the bathroom a bit, it can be done.<BR/><BR/>Reasonable room rents instead of exploitation, quick attention to any maintenance problems, a bit of inter-personal diplomacy and respect, and a contract with face-saving 'outs' for everyone if things don't work out after a month or two are the keys to making this kind of arrangement work well. <BR/><BR/>While not as communitarian has Sharon's co-housing, it is another way to double the density in the home, and help everyone adapt to changing conditions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8221748.post-17175582073589358882007-11-22T06:53:00.000-08:002007-11-22T06:53:00.000-08:00if i read or hear the words "think outside the box...if i read or hear the words "think outside the box" one more time in this foolish society i am going to take the gas pipe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8221748.post-42697206378719070422007-11-16T00:48:00.000-08:002007-11-16T00:48:00.000-08:00Hi Sharon:The agricultural internships idea is a g...Hi Sharon:<BR/><BR/>The agricultural internships idea is a good one, or how about a graduate student at your hubby's school? When I lived in the states, I always had a grad student or post-doc in the spare room who would maintain the garden, house-sit when I was on research trips, or help out with house maintenance in exchange for a place to stay. They were able to stretch their small budget more effectively, and I got some help that I needed.<BR/><BR/>Best of luck on finding the right person or people. And, I giggled when you talked about "butts" Here in the UK, we call them bottoms here or bums. The only time "butt" is used is in the context of a water butt=a rain barrel. So more of those kinds of butts for the house are a good thing too!<BR/><BR/>Best,<BR/><BR/>Anna MarieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8221748.post-87154077302260020442007-11-14T17:50:00.000-08:002007-11-14T17:50:00.000-08:00you're appealing to all my fantasies about farms a...you're appealing to all my fantasies about farms and communal living and whatnot. Sometimes I think we're idiots for staying here when Dave could likely get a job teaching anywhere in the country. Other times I think we'd be idiots to leave, since my family is so close by here and it makes sense to stay money-wise. Of course, it would take forever to sell the house now anyway, so I should probably stay focused on the "we'd be idiots to leave" angle.Gretchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10081092234118387690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8221748.post-4214450187430667542007-11-14T04:40:00.000-08:002007-11-14T04:40:00.000-08:00I tried something like this, and I'm sure it's the...I tried something like this, and I'm sure it's the right way to go even tho' my way didn't work out. I had a 4-bedroom home, daughter at university and 16 year old son so sick I wasn't sure he'd live to be 17. Some Africans rented the next house and started helping me out with gardening and chores and watching my son so I could just go out of the house sometimes. They sent me on holiday to their relatives in Africa - something I wish everyone could do, I learnt so much about not wasting water or any other thing that could be re-used and living without fuel.<BR/>To cut a long story short I married a guy, brought him and his 4 sons to live with me. And they borrowed so much money against the value of my house to get all the things I'm trying to give up, now they've moved out and I have to sell up just to pay the debts. Somehow I'd like to get the message back to Africa that we need them to be ambassadors of a sustainable way to live, instead of every African taking terrible risks to get into the wealthy countries so they can live like us and throw stuff away - my husband's relatives in this country will only wear new designer labels and don't even use the doorstep recycling collections we have here. <BR/>If only we could get the right messages exchanged between ourselves, who could share our unsustainable riches, and our overseas cousins who have so much they could teach us but would prefer to learn our worst excesses...MumDorishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07705417343008041881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8221748.post-91397377370410035962007-11-13T19:49:00.000-08:002007-11-13T19:49:00.000-08:00I'm sure you'll find someone great - probably many...I'm sure you'll find someone great - probably many great someones will turn up. If you had posted this a few months ago I would have jumped, since it's exactly the kind of situation I was looking for. (Well, an artsy ecovillage would have been great too, if affordable.)<BR/><BR/>I wound up in my own little cottage with friendly neighbors, but there were several great 'inlaw' apartments on small 'hobby' farms available in the area (Hudson Valley). Unfortunately all of them would have required a car :(<BR/><BR/>I found these situations by placing an ad on Craig's List that included a good bit of personality, since the dynamic really is similar to online dating. I figured folks would want to know a lot about me before connecting, because a failed connection at so personal a level can be uncomfortable all around. <BR/><BR/>I hope those who contact you about the place remember to provide enough background, links, and especially a picture, so you can get a sense of who they are before engaging. And nobody should get upset if they don't get a reply - just like on dating sites, it's often better form to just ignore a message than respond with lack of interest. <BR/><BR/>dougDoug Anarinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03592399501087874104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8221748.post-70749536961231150392007-11-13T15:46:00.000-08:002007-11-13T15:46:00.000-08:00Thank you!I'm tired of reading about environmental...Thank you!<BR/>I'm tired of reading about environmental home designs for houses over 5000 square feet.

We always had a marvellous time. In the last eight months there is suddenly only me bumbling around the place. Getting too old for foster kids, waiting for one of them to get out of jail, best friend died, adult children all moved out into their own places, garden too huge to manage on my own (arthritis).<BR/><BR/>Now the thought of filling the place up again scares me. I'm too old and tired to bother. There is an obviously homeless older woman who hangs around the local shopping centre who I have considered making contact with to see if she would like to visit. There are refugees looking for space to start their lives again. So many people who could use the space, support and company.<BR/><BR/>By this time next year I expect I will have sold this place and found myself a small unit complete with a small garden. Definately a move in the wrong direction, but the only sensible thing I can think of to doAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8221748.post-74003237112542586752007-11-13T12:03:00.000-08:002007-11-13T12:03:00.000-08:00Hi Folks - That is the problem, isn't it - everyon...Hi Folks - That is the problem, isn't it - everyone lives where they live, and I live where I live for various reasons. It can be tough to consider relocation - I understand that. But I'm excited by the responses I've had, and hopeful about the possibilities.<BR/><BR/>Michelle, I do have some absolute restriction that can be discussed when we get to that point, my husband and I lived for years in graduate school with a couple we adore, and would still be living with if our locations and jobs were compatible. Our friend "Avi" is a hard drinking metal head who played loud music at 2 am. He is also one of our best friends, the godfather of our second son and someone who I'd live with now if I could. So I'm wary of placing too many advance restrictions, other than those of health and safety, upon this discussion. Don't worry, we're aware of the issues, though.<BR/><BR/>I want sheep, and a few little girls around would be refreshing - when do you get here ;-)?<BR/><BR/>Rosa, I appreciate the suggestion -I figured I'd try the blog first and see where it gets me, but we may seek further afield if need be.<BR/><BR/>Right now, we're less interested in renting or having WWOOFers - these days I'm writing more than farming, and probably couldn't justify their time. I suspect that if we could find the right match, this would probably do us best, but thank you all for the suggestions. We both have a lot of experience living with people, and we're excited about the idea, if a bit nervous.<BR/><BR/>Heidi, if you aren't joking, send me an email - and we've got to get together. Just give me until December to finish the book. Seriously, you sound perfect - we've got 4 shrieking boys, none of whom has yet really discovered baseball (but we'd like them to), two dogs, four cats and assorted livestock, so I'm not sure we'd even notice yours ;-). Eric would love to learn to make beer, and I'll show you how to knit socks if you'll help us get into Suzuki (am I remembering right that you do that quite seriously?). It sounds like a dream come true! Just give me until December, and let's get together.<BR/><BR/>And thank you all for the wonderful and inspiring stories about your own experiences living with other people - I'm enjoying hearing about them so much!<BR/><BR/>Sharon<BR/><BR/>Richard, I'm not going to do much replying on the blog here, but send an email and we can talk about it.<BR/><BR/>Adamek, we're not able to handle an intern right now, but maybe eventually. And we do have chickens, and are expecting goats in the spring.<BR/><BR/>Daharja, there is a lot of land where I live, more available for rent than really is needed, and no ag college very close - also no houses for rent nearby, since this is quite a rural area. I think this option suits us best right now.jewishfarmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17547121621115074866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8221748.post-32305515794307664822007-11-13T11:23:00.000-08:002007-11-13T11:23:00.000-08:00Me, my pointee toe shoe daughters,hubby, and 7 she...Me, my pointee toe shoe daughters,hubby, and 7 sheep will be right over. hehe.<BR/>Jus' kiddin'.<BR/><BR/>Nice thought, but you need to consider what won't work.<BR/>Guns, beer, music etc.<BR/><BR/>Good luck.<BR/>MichelleMichelle In TNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01982430105612865434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8221748.post-3786205520163599972007-11-13T11:09:00.000-08:002007-11-13T11:09:00.000-08:00While I think it would be grand to live near or wi...While I think it would be grand to live near or with you, Sharon, I'm not willing to move from my home in Alaska. On the other hand, a long time friend who was at one point my landlord and I are talking about me moving back. He owns a building in an urban area with two one bedroom apartments on the lower level and a three bedroom apartment above them. His daughter, son-in-law and grandson plus a roommate live upstairs and he's in one of the lower apartments. The other apartment needs renovation (from water damage last year) and once that is underway, he'll move there and I'll move into his apartment. He, his daughter and I have been discussing gardening and fruit trees and all three of us took knitting classes ;-) He'll be charging me rent (at $250/mth less than where I live now, I'm rather motivated to move back) but all that I give him will go right back into the property to provide upgrades and renovations. I'm the most gainfully employed of the lot of us and have offered to purchase items that would be of use to all (tools, equipment, etc.).<BR/><BR/>Had this opportunity not come up, I would be looking for a roommate to share the two bedroom apartment I now rent. But I'm not happy with no place to garden (I tried container gardening but out of sight is definitely out of mind for me and nothing did well) and being alone. Once I move back, I'll be sharing meals with my friend and other activities with everyone there. While we won't be sharing one "house" we will be occupying the same footprint and seeing each other frequently.<BR/><BR/>The big trick will be educating the upstairs folks to reduce their usage of everything. I think they wash clothes daily! And I don't even want to think about all the diapers they throw away. Well, it will take babysteps but if we're all working on the same things together, breaking the washing machine habit (or the shower habit or the disposable diaper habit, etc.) will be achieveable.<BR/><BR/>Good luck finding a match. Perhaps you need a shadchen??<BR/><BR/>KerriAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8221748.post-68407455671430185002007-11-13T09:47:00.000-08:002007-11-13T09:47:00.000-08:00Wow, very brave of you to put this out there, Shar...Wow, very brave of you to put this out there, Sharon. I have been seeing more of this in the city (New York): extended families sharing a brownstone, et c.

I always wonder what people are thinking who build those big, showy places for a family of two or three.<BR/>We invited a friend to come live with us when he lost his space, and have never regretted it.
