    After leaving Pueblo I am happy as I think I have found my place. It is beautiful up here in Northern Colorado and the mountains are a pretty good substitute for my beloved beach. I may change my mind once the snow hits, but am excited for that as well. Everything I could possibly need is...

    Both times I rented I went through Craigslist. The owners can be a bit more flexible than a property manager. Luckily and amazingly my first landlord was an aussie. The thing they all want though is proof of a decent job. Money in the bank is not enough, and most of them do a background...

    Graphic Designer would qualify @Elle30 as long as his job description closely matches O*Net's and he studied for at least two years to gain his qualifications. His employer or business colleagues need to verify this with a letter stating his job description. Near enough is not good enough...

    Well I know that now lol. I just wish that useless car dealer hadn't contacted every effing bank in the country. I have already registered with creditkarma, that's how I found out my sadly low score. Thanks for the advice simon. Maybe others can learn from me and my errors. It sure has been...

    Well thanks Susie, I try to be positive, but I don't always pull it off. Pueblo has left a bitter taste, but yes, thanks to my love interest, I have had some truly magical trips away and explored the place in ways I never would have had I been on my own. If I had have imagined my American...

    Funnily enough I had a ghoulish fascination with the dead 'un. And my sweet boss turned out to be not so sweet and very self-serving and I'm glad to be free of the whole thing. I am not sure where to go next. There are two of us now, (me and my American toy boy) so we are just debating where...

    Hey, I'm here. Still alive and kicking. Just got back from a week down on South Padre Island, Texas, on the Gulf of Mexico. Was delightful after 4 months in the hot desert. I witnessed a dead body (bullet wound to the head around the corner from my place) and then got fired from my job, so I...

    It's going to have to do for the next 12 months or so. I'm just going to have to stay healthy. I will avoid the ridiculousness of US health insurance for as long as I can

    That's what I thought, so yes, the fine will be less than the premiums. Im happy with that. And yes, amazingly everything is going as planned. I can't believe my good fortune really. I always say, when you are on the right path in life all the doors swing open. I feel blessed.

    With regard to health insurance, my employer does not cover me. I bought 3 months worth of Seven Corners Immigrant insurance before I left Australia, which I can renew as long as I do it before the3 months is up. Someone said that this insurance does not exempt you from the tax fine you get if...

    I have heard of one person who has won in this years lottery. Not sure if any others have come forward yet. No one heard from the ever positive Rose?

    Ha ha yes, the ocean is beckoning. I have lived by the ocean my entire life and the past 30 years in absolute paradise, so this place calls for a slight attitude adjustment. Since I only work a 4 day week (still have to get my 40 hrs tho) I will be taking long weekend trips to places of beauty...
