Dysfunction and thievery?

[MaseMan]

Get your life together. Quit trying to subsist on a poverty level income as if that is some station in life you are bound to (I've read your posts in other threads). Get out of that hell hole and have enough self respect to live without such dysfunctional people.

Open a savings account and add what you can to it. Then move.

Yeah, I don't normally buy stuff on ebay but I think this one is worth seven bucks. I am working on a book aimed at a niche hobby/collector market (and the dealers who serve this hobby base) and the book I'm looking for is an earlier version of the sort of book I'm writing.

I know for a fact that I have a lot more material than does the earlier book, which is now almost 20 years old and could sorely use an update. (I thank my lucky stars that nobody has had anything new to publish in almost 20 years.)

No, the book isn't going to make me rich, but I think it can realistically sell 20,000 copies in North America - perhaps half of that through ebay, Amazon, and a few major trade shows. And once the book is in print, I've got a great website concept to go along with it.

I agree with the others...Get a second job. All you need is the rent and security deposit. Get a futon and some basic items to start. You can add other furniture and comforts from there.You can possibly find something furnished even.Your security and happiness and safety are the most important things you need. will When you wake up that first day in a better environment-That will be the new chapter. Regardless of how much you make, you work hard for it and no one has the right to steal things from your room. Let the lowlifes live in thier dysfunctional place. Folks like this rarely change.

let us know how things work out for you. All the best OP!

Been there, done that, and I absolutely agree!
