Today's trip leads us to Childress, TX. Then I'll nearly be there!

Things are tight here too but as soon as I can in March I'll be sending something your way Guy. Thanks for all you've done for our game (and it's hopefully not too far away future). You're one of CoH's real heroes, thanks man and good luck.

I donated what I could. Good luck in Texas!!!! I hope all goes well.

So quick update: Once Guy gets to Texas, he's going to have to arrange for transportation. In the immediate future, that means he'll probably rent a car to get around for a few days. In the longer term, though, he's going to be looking for a cheap car or, per his preference, a minivan (in his words, "it provides storage, transportation AND shelter") to buy. If you live in the Dallas/Fort Worth area and have a vehicle or know someone who has a vehicle that they're looking to unload, let us know!

did he specify a price range? There are many vans in the Dallas area but cheap is a relative term.

No, other than specifying that he's looking for a minvan, he hasn't really said much about price or other preferences. But you know, I suspect the cheaper, the better. Knowing Guy, he won't be too picky. He's just looking to get by as cheaply as he can. Here's a snippet of actual conversation from Tuesday:

lol in repards to the conversation.

Alright, I'll keep a look out on some good minivans he can check out.

blackjak · « **Reply #67 on:** February 28, 2013, 05:36:12 PM »

Yeah...I rock 2 minivans. It's good in case you get kicked out and have to live in it....down by the river...

Are you certain Guy wasn't saying he could do without planning a budget?

To be fair, it is difficult to fit those two items into a detailed budget. I mean which one is recreation and which one is office supplies? Can you claim a portion on your taxes? Nono, it's much easier to just lump them under miscellaneous household expenses and be done with it.

This is what I love about this community. 3 months after our game is gone, we can still ban together to help each other out.

We are heroes, this is what we do.

Was Guy banned from Oregon? I thought he was just looking for a change of scenery. Although that actually seems more likely now that you mention it.

Wait a minute...
I was misled by the thread's title!
I thought we were helping Guy Pefect... not GuyPerfect!!

Can I get my money back? I need a new pack of gum!

(Hehe, happy trails and safe travels, GP!)

Mister Bison · « **Reply #73 on:** February 28, 2013, 08:55:35 PM »

Chipped in. Can't believe what happened to you :-( Have a safe travel. You're courageous to move on your own with just a van.

Enjoy some european euros.

Ironwolf · « **Reply #74 on:** March 01, 2013, 02:01:18 AM »

I sent money and I also want to say State farm Insurance is building a HUGE office in Dallas - and they need EVERYTHING - just saying.

Not like I am a system admin for some insurance company or anything.

Okay, I'm in Childress and sacking out for the night. My bottom is sore from sitting!

With the money Tony sent me and the money PayPal lets him take out of the Titan account each month, I'm gonna be kind of pinched for cash. It'll be there, but the flow is restricted enough that I can't make any hefty purchases all at once. Then again, it also means I get a sort of monthly allowance.

What I think would be best in the short term is if I can get in contact with someone in the area, and "rent" a vehicle from them. If someone has a car or mini-van they're not using or could let me use, I can pay something like $50 a week for the time I'm using it. Buuuuut, that would require someone nearby with a spare vehicle.

I'd like to make it clear that I don't necessarily need a mini-van. Any kind of car will do, and I can rent some self-storage to put my stuff in if I need to. If I have transportation, that's really what can get me the things that I need.

1) Oregon was banned from me. Whatchoo talkin' 'bout?

2) I have a contact down in North Richland Hills whom I'll be working with doing churchy stuff. For what it's worth, Oregon is much more scenic. (-:

It took more then 24 hours to understand the fact that this was a joke and a play on words.

Hey Guy, have sent a small token of my appreciation for all you have done for us. Thanks for all your dedicated work. I hope the rough patch is behind you now. Good luck with your new endeavors!

GuyPerfect · « **Reply #79 on:** March 01, 2013, 10:21:14 PM »

Here I am! North Richland Hills, and on a path that didn't have any construction. *Party hat*

I've booked into a hotel for today and tomorrow. My mind is shifting from "get there" mode to "okay, now what" mode. I still need transportation, and I still need a place to stay (though not as much as I need transportation). I'm waiting to hear back from corbis820 about his brother in Irving.

I also just found out a few minutes ago that an entity up in Portland wants some money that I thought was taken care of by another source. But that's not urgent unless they want to come down here to Texas to find me. (-:

So I thank everyone for the donations, and I hope I can continue thanking for donations! And if anyone has any leads on any front(s), please let me know.
