What I am dealing with--Help Needed in Central/South New Jersey.

My landlord has been taking my mail. Listening to my conversations. She even went as far as throwing "things" (in this case, cigarette butts and leaves--yes I reported this to the police) into the front seat of my car when the window was opened a crack. I know she has "problems" and I have no animosity towards her. But I know that my standing up to her "oddities" is one of the reasons why she does these things. And this is only scratching the surface--listing all the stories would take much more time then they are worth.

Today I am missing three specific pieces of mail that I know I should have received by now. I went around earlier to ask her about the mail: she wasn't in her shop so I left a note to please leave these letters in my mail box. If I hear her there later I will go back around and ask again. If I dont get to ask her again tomorrow, I am going to the postmaster. F*ing with my mail. This takes the cake.

For example on NOVEMBER 11, my aunt sent me a card with a christmas check in it. ON JANUARY 11, landlord came out when I was going to my car and said "Hey I have letter that got mixed up in my mail. One of my employees opened it and then it got misplaced. Maybe I can find it again wait a minute" When she came back with a crumpled card in an envolope, I have to ask WHY DIDNT YOU PUT IT IN MY BOX? "Well you werent home or didnt answer the door" UM THAT DOESNT ANSWER MY QUESTION ---IF YOU HAD JUST PUT IT IN MY MAILBOX WHEN YOU FIRST GOT IT -- YOU WOULDNT HAVE 'MISPLACED' IT. (MORON!!)

I need to get out of here. That has been established. But with no job at the moment I dont have many options. Spring time IS coming, even though we have mountains of snow. SO this is a good time to find a living/employment situation that is better suited to me. I need three specific things in a living space: two bedrooms, a yard area, and space for my cats. I am a responsible person, I have lived on my own for 20+ years, so I know how to take care of a household. I am a responsible pet owner: my cats are healthy (though three of them are aged) and clean. As for work--I am hoping to find a farm that potentially has seperate living quarters where I can work for my room and board. I have been a member of a garden club for many years, I am not afraid of heavy, hard, or dirty work. I also am Emergency Medical Technician and CPR Certified (my new CPR card is one of the mailed items I am missing!).

SO if any of you out there know of anyone who has such a situation, on a farm with lots of nice outbuildings and work to be done, I am interested. Please spread the word.

Done!! New dolly i am working on.

Giane lives in the forest and if you look carefully you may be able to see her weaving in and out of the shadows. She can fit in anywhere -- take her home and she just *might* help you see into the future!

Giane is wearing a handmade dress decorated with beads, lace, buttons, metal findings and a shell that fell from the sky.
