Hi all...been a few years since I've been in here. We're in IL now and want to GET OUT OF DODGE and someplace not-too-warm, but green and friendly and with a free/libertarian bent for retirement. Guns/low taxes...and nature. I have a graphic design business so I can go pretty much anywhere as long as I have good internet connection. We're thinking TN/KY because hilly and green - but not sure. We'd like rural area w small house but with big work shed/pole barn or some sort. Anyone have any thoughts? Thx

Hi fellow freedom lovers. Because I love freedom so much and staying here with these narcissistic vampires won't work any longer. A steady warm climate will help tremendously. I also found out I have lupus, so I'm looking to minimize my stress because of that. I'm just looking for a few helpful, magnificent, kind, wonderful, godlike, dudes or dudesses to kindly help a brother out with maybe a meal and a place to sleep for a night (driveways are okay). It's such a long trip. I hope you don't mind a homeless guy peddling his wares and services in your relative tax farm for a few days. I'm gonna be staying in Colorado for a few weeks because I have a friend up there, so I might squat nearby. Also, I'm going to be holding a yard sale starting in the Grundy County Illinois area. I have DVDs, CDs, Blu ray discs, PS3 games, 2 swords, a few knives and books (a few). I can make an itemized list if enough people are interested. I also have a 6 year old green parrotlet named Molly (approximate lifespan: 15 years) that needs a good home, so meeting in person is a must. She comes with a small cage, some food, a manual for taking care of parrotlets and toys. I'm going to miss her so much. If someone would want to take care of her until I have a house and I can come and get her, I will pay you (with interest) when I get her back. Love and respect, Aaron V. Update: I'm definitely taking the southern route which will take me through Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. And I'm going regardless of anyone helping me or not.
