I’ve lived in Los Angeles all my life and I am ready to pack everything I have and go. I am free, single, no attachments, no family, not really crazy, just headed there if I don’t make a change. I am a smart woman, intelligent, attractive, moral, musical, and adventurous, But I have some fears and confusion on where to go and how to start over. I am just fed up with LA life, LA people and I am desperate for new surroundings.

How do I begin, would love suggestions. Thank you.

I’m not taking the bait. Nice try, troll.

Good detective work, humblebumble. And to think I fell for it.

I am not a troll. I am a past SDMB member from years back, couldn’t retrieve my password because of a change in email.

I really am looking for advice.

A few things:

1. Please don’t call others trolls in THIS forum, even if you have good reason to think so. Use the Pit or report the posts.

2. female\_crazy, only one name per person on here. If you forgot the password, you can always contact an admin for help and they can assist you in this matter. You don’t make a new name and start posting, however. Please contact Tubadiva or another admin asap. I’m going to shut this topic down.
