The mazda is gone. RIP my flatbed. My fiancee decided she wanted to get back with her ex. Have fun with that mistake.

Time to go home. Would love to be back in Washington before bad weather hits the midwest.

If you can, I'd appreciate the help.

Sorry to hear that... wish I could help like last time you needed to get home but I can't.

I admit I'm a little confused why you don't/can't keep working where you are and save the money to move, that's what I'd have to do.

I'm trying to, but I'd rather not try to cross the US if there is going to be possibility of snow. When i first moved out here it snowed in the areas we drove thru days after we had driven thru, and that was beginning of October. Plus, being stuck in a state with no family, and almost no friends I'd rather not spend holidays alone, figure I'll be better off mentally if i can be closer to family, rather than stuck here for another 6-7 months just because i had to wait on weather.

The help last year was appreciated, kinda wish she would have told me before i left last year that she was planning to go back to her ex, would have packed my shit last year and wouldn't have come back.

I know being away from family is tough and being where you don't want to be is equally tough but we all have issues, tough situations and wants we don't always get. Personally I'd stay in he warm climate, work for a year or so then move - or better yet I'd stay period.

Your goal isn't insurmountable and with some hard work and perseverance you could be there sooner than you think - maybe not on YOUR schedule but definitely on your own. Also it would be a lot more rewarding than simply asking others to pay for all YOUR expenses because you WANT to leave now.

I looked at the fundraising site you posted and saw a number of desperate and inspirational stories where others had "sponsored" the fundraising efforts for others not people looking for money for themselves. Much like your situation last year when some here donated to your cause to get home with some to spare.

I wish you luck getting home but I also wish you luck making the right decision and not count on others.

Hard to hear, live through the choice and may it make you wiser.
In the late '70's- early '80's, I fear to mention how many time I left a good job doing quality assurance, machinist or tool and die work to move to the town and in with a woman I met in a bar, spent the night with and was blinded by lust.
Sometimes one does learn, then there is me.
Leaving my soul mate, first wife, after five years for no good reason, it took twenty years, a lot of the buffet sampling, four more wives before I was blessed enough to find my present wife (number 6) of twenty years. I would be lost without her, but would not have appreciated her over a different path probably.
Life is similar to a river, make a wise choice at every fork, paddle hard when it may not be the right one---- plow ahead, or back paddled, just live through it---- by your choice.
Keeping some money in the bank for incase ALWAYS helped me, gotta make the TransAm payment, turn the utilities on and pay the rent [(rent moving truck, food, of course money to chase another woman (best way to get over one, find another)] when you have to move.
