Any offer to pay you will definitely turn him into a tenant, so don't fall for that, either.
Geez, I hadn't even thought of that. Thanks, Sparky.
Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

Spike's Bitches 49: As usual, I'm here to help you, and I... are you naked under there?
Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
It should be a no. My husband is more generous than I am - and we have let one person have an open invite - including staying over . He is one of the few people I never thought would be difficult - and he wasn't. So no is a good thing

If he wants to move to CA he needs to have more of a plan than finding a free place to stay.
THANK YOU. When he first messaged, I pointed out that his profile says LA, but I'm in SD. He just said he needs somewhere in CA while he gets settled. HUGE RED FLAGS - like, there's not even a job lined up? No sir, sorry, but I'm not down with you couchsurfing while you find yourself.

Also, Epic, don't let him use your address for job hunting.
You do not have to feel in the least bit bad! Also, "his mom told him to ask again"? In his twenties? Nope.

Southern California is a very difficult area to get started in, so yeah, if he doesn't have a really good plan he'll get eaten alive.

On another topic altogether: About a year an a half ago a Starbucks opened in DC, right on the line to my MD town. (My hippie dippy town does not make chains welcome, thankyouverymuch.) In the past two weeks two independent local coffee shops have announced a closing.
I'm not happy, and I hardly ever drink coffee anymore.

That sucks, Sparky. I hate when that happens.

Oh no, Sparky, which ones?? My bff no longer lives just a few blocks from the metro (they're near Fort Totten now) but still super sucky.

Not javachik
I got out of bed with a long list of things to do, after doing one thing in bed: Making reservations to go to Houston for an old friend's birthday. Spent much time reading Natter instead.
I often host friends or friends of friends at my house, but always as a guest, not a roommate, or Airbnb or whatever. Partly legal (it's miiiiiine is not a bad position), partly selfish/lazy. I don't have to clear out drawers or closets.
I need to do a will. My last one was ages ago. And clean out closets. And figure out if I can really do the Houston thing. Regular guest here has a pet sitting gig the exact same time. I'm annoyed though I have no right to be.
