The thing that confuses me more about the tv will be how tough it'll be to carry enough, and even use, when/if REPO moves to new york. Or maybe the plan was to only use the tv for a few months before moving there?

Aside from what I can fit in a duffel bag, everything will be stored either at Robyn's house or a storage unit. At some point I'll get one of my favorite members to put everything I won't get FedExed in their car when they come to visit.

Yes. :roll:

I'm just paying off the back rent and money I owe Robyn in increments in case something important comes up.

And before you say anything, I don't eat out, "going out" usually means doing a load of laundry at the Avon Motel, I eat cheap, my birthday's coming up and my current TV doesn't work right.

Storage units are expensive. People often don't realize... You have to calculate the value of items that are replaceable, and guess how many months those items will be in storage. If the cost of storage (over X months) is more than the cost to replace the items, then just sell those items and buy them again later when you're able to. No sense in paying more in storage costs than what an item is worth. But many people end up doing this. Perhaps because they need the items to be in storage for much longer than they anticipated. So anticipate THAT as well.

Thankfully my plan is to leave mid-October and have whoever visits me bring me my stuff when they visit for Thanksgiving.

And update on my brother, my mom still needs more money. I offered to see what I can do but she declined. She's hoping to get the rest by next week.

Hopefully he'll be out by my birthday. I'm thinking that in lieu of requesting the day of off, I'll just try for the Wednesday after. That way all the kids and (hopefully) the adults will be available so I can try to throw together a movie night. I get paid that day so I can buy the stuff to make a cake and still buy a few pizzas, as well as snacks and drinks for the movie.

But what to screen? I really want to avoid anything they've seen before and anything they can see anytime.
