1. Username88 says he'll put his whole bank account into the commune. He is ready to drive up whenever we're ready.


2. MADDuck is talking to an immigration lawyer and wants to get an SUV and is actually selling some of his old stuff so that he can afford to come up here!


3. Syzygyish keeps saying she'll donate and is seriously considering blowing off her $100 000 income in order to come over here and join our commune, as we're the only people she talks to out of the billions of people in the world!


4. I, Ana54, am making arrangements to get a free apartment from Social Services, JUST FOR NOW! Afterwwards I'll be on disability (about $800 a month) and can work under the table for that to save for this.

No; we should let everyone in! He can visit any time he wants and if he wants to become a North American, legal or not, to stay with us then so be it; the more the merrier! :D


Username, I'm ready in 2 months or so, MADDuck will probably be ready in a few months, Syz is thinking of coming over from Australia (I'm trying to convince him to leave his mother whom he doesn't seem to be getting along with, and replacing alcohol with us (and maybe an antidepressant drug too)!

It sounds tempting at this point in my life. Do you have a source for immigration laws in canada? I'd like to see what it would take.

I'm sure you could look up "Immigration laws in Canada"...


OMG, that's like 7 of us! Perfect! Me, username88, MADDuck, Syzygyish, Coyote27, Eric_C, and now you, devster21!


This is turning out way better than I thought!


Why don't we each fill out the following:


Name on WP: Ana54
Current location: Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
Way of raising funds: working, collecting disability benefits (which I have to call and apply for tomorrow on Monday)
Way of getting to the commune: driving with username88, I guess. Or with my dad if he'll have bought land and headed out there by then! I think most of us will drive with username88, tho!
Available to come: anytime
How much and what kind of space I need: a tiny closet with a steel door and a lock will be cool. I can sleep in the living room or wherever; I would just like a secure place to store my stuff.
My lifestyle: unobtrusive


For the apartment (which will be in Edmonton, unless I move to Vancouver):
Available to come: whenever I get the apartment... in 2 months, probably.
How I'll contribute: by getting "funny money" and working.


PS: the land in PEI (Prince Edward Island) is DIRT CHEAP, so it'll be there!

Its not guaranteed but, i'll try to keep you updated on whether or not i'd be able to do it.

Name on WP: Devster21
Current location: Minneapolis, MN
Way of raising funds: i have various odd skills and good work ethic.
Way of getting to the commune: maybe just sell my car, and buy a jeep and head up.
Available to come: i'm not sure when it would be.
How much space do you need? not much
Do you need a place with a door, or are you okay with just a locker and living in a visible area? As long as I can escape the commune for a few hours at a time i don't need a lot of space.
Do you have a kind of lifestyle that might interfere with certain others? I drink/smoke but i'd be willing to stop.

Name on WP: Coyote27
Current location: Olympia, WA, US
Way of raising funds: Working, cashing in some money that's been put away
Way of getting to the commune: By air, I suppose, then bus or something.
Available to come: This is the tricky part... I have no idea. Might be a year or more before I can do this. I don't really want to just uproot myself and go across the continent with no idea whether things would work or not. Preferably I could spend some time saving up money and observing how things are working before I jump in. It's a huge step for me.
I guess I really don't have that much to lose.. I'm just chicken, that's all. :p

OH! LOL!


Now, quick! Before you can't edit your posts any more, add to the form the following questions, and fill it out:


How much space do you need?
Do you need a place with a door, or are you okay with just a locker and living in a visible area?
Do you have a kind of lifestyle that might interfere with certain others? If so, explain.

Space: The earth cannot contain me! :D Really, I wouldn't need all that much.
Privacy: I'd need a measure of it to feel comfortable, I don't think I could handle living in an open area.
Lifestyle: I don't cause trouble, unless you get annoyed by me pacing around while thinking or talking.

How much space do you need? as much as possible!!

Do you need a place with a door, or are you okay with just a locker and living in a visible area? a door would be great, I need my space/seclusion!

Do you have a kind of lifestyle that might interfere with certain others? If so, explain. not really! As long as we all respect eachother's boundries and stuff, it should be okay!
