Hi,
I should have posted this two days ago but I have been trying everything that I knew personally before I went whining to a bunch of strangers. So Swallowing all pride, I write this letter.
I have been shafted by a recent import. On my way here, after setting everything up to share an apartment, my roomie-to-be backed out on me... While I was catching a flight from Tampa... The Day Of... EVERYTHING was set up. EVERYTHING was fine. I have forwarded my address... I have shipped boxes to myself... But to get the call... UGH... My stomach dropped as well as my heart.
My friend Carey Nichols (Now working his last night at Hovensa) is on his way to Chicago on Saturday with his family. I am currently on his couch tonight and tomorrow night but will be sleeping in the car after if nothing works out. (I have bought his car here).
What you are thinking is probably: "Well I have a nice place for $1,500/mo...etc..." Well, honestly, Thank You. But I cannot afford it now. My former friend (mentioned earlier as my roomie-to-be) was only calling for $325 a month to split up a $650 a month bill in two. He works two jobs and is having personal problems, but, to be honest what he did was just wrong in all ways.
So... I need help with a place to stay. I have my job interview tomorrow morning, which is a 99% GO and a church is supposed to be calling me back if they know of anything for my emergency.
the thing is, I planned a plan "A" without a plan "B"... Whoops. Lesson learned.
Well? Ok, You've read this, Who am I? A kind and quiet book-worm who is in desperate need of help. Would you? Could you? Does anyone have any ideas?

Oh! It's not like I am dead broke. I have some... And my last stateside paycheck is coming in the mail in 8 days... thanks.

Where is it that you moved to? I constantly see postings for room mates, but I have no idea of where you are?
If you are on St. Croix, in C'sted there is a place that rents rooms by the night or week. I also have a guest room that you could rent at least for the short run (someone is coming in around October 15th). Although on a nightly basis, it would cost more than you would want, I can work with that if it will help.
If you are on STT, you might want to check with Onika on the board. I don't know if she is booked up, but I believe she has a room to rent. She may be able to work with you pricewise, but that would be for her to determine.
Okay for now. I am sorry about your situation, but until I know where you are, I can't really do a whole lot.
I hope you are online and can get this,
Warmly,
Dan

Hey Pauly:
That really stinks. I am so sorry to hear about your predicament, but you came to one of the right places. Keep checking in, maybe someone can help. Also try posting under a more precise heading, like, "ROOMMATE OR CHEAP HOUSING NEEDED ASAP ON ST CROIX". I hope it works out. O.

Onika: Great idea! There are some pretty vague subjects on this board. I changed the subject on this post to something more relevant, for everyone's benefit.
