Have you ever made a huge step to move state, ie tried that and then been totally socially isolated, like nothing works out, and then just been told to move on again? It's like saying to someone right at the bottom of the heap "do more with less". (inch dick hates me so I won't go on)

As opposed to the long LONG line of extremely good reasons to have just to picked up the cat and just gotten the gently caress out of Dodge?

Much easier said than done for Dave at this point.

Right now I'm more worried about his well being than if he can move or not.

Which is exactly why he should have taken up the offers to move his poo poo, take the cat and stayed out. And yet here we go again, he's flushing his life down the shitter in a meth haze because he put himself right back in the place that lead him to be a meth addict in the first place. I only hope he has a moment of clarity and at least asks for help to get out else we get the news he's dead in the gutter and Rosie ends up locked in a cupboard again. Because frankly this is exactly where this thread is going.

I honestly believe the car was stolen because I told the guy I was afraid of I wasn't working for him anymore and he knew it was the only thing that would truly hurt me

I dunno dude, there's no shame in admiting you're in over your head and need a hand getting back on your feet.

Very rarely does trying to dig oneself out of a hole work out.

Just keeps getting deeper. If you were transporting :catdrugs: now you potentially have a problem with the police, and the person you think stole it might turn that around on you. Abandon Seattle and dry out.

Just for future use -- "Fire and Theft," also called "Comprehensive" costs about nothing to add to a liability policy (probably less than $30/half year). "Collision" is what runs insurance rates up.

That's an interesting difference in terminology. We call liability "Third party", with fire and theft it's, well, third party fire and theft, then "comprehensive" is if includes the damage to your own vehicle.

Like he said, the guy did it to hurt him so he went out of his way to do it obviously.

Dave just do something before you end up a cliche, dead or in jail. If you gotta go crawling to your parents house with your tail between your legs do it, it's better than being a cliche.

I can rent a trailer or dolly, get it behind the XTerra, and tow the Civic wherever.

Hey man you don't know me from Adam but my little brother died a few weeks back because staying in his lovely situation was easier than leaving. If he'd taken any number of chances to cut and run he'd be alive today and my life wouldn't be an overwhelming goddamn disaster of trying to figure out how to clean up the literal and figurative mess he left behind. He thought of himself as a piece of poo poo but his death left a huge smoking crater in the lives of people he never would have wanted to be hurt.

Sorry, I know I'm projecting my situation onto yours a bit but it seems obvious that a change of venue would do you some good. And call me selfish but I like reading your posts and stories and it'd be nice if you were around to keep writing.

Maybe with the exception of Waynejay, every captain who starred in their own Star Trek series knew when to leave a hostile alien world and venture back out into the quadrant so that they could find new, better adventures.

You have spent too much time among the natives of the planet Seattle. Venture forth and find new adventures.
