I guess I try to have friends that do not purposely make messes of their lives with drugs etc. (not that pot is that big of a deal....) - but if someone insists on being a total mess I generally back away. (And I'm not counting getting sick and/or having bad things happen as "being a mess" of course.)Coaster Punchmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12587366749348273040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28721703.post-23940737370389014762007-03-15T11:37:00.000-05:002007-03-15T11:37:00.000-05:00THANKS YOU ALL FOR YOUR ADVISE.

AFTER I TALKED TO MY FRIEND A BIT MORE LAST NIGHT AND EXPLAINED MY HESITATIONS IN REGARDS TO SASSY BEING UNPREDICTABLE SHE DECIDED THAT FOR NOW WE'D BE A LAST RESORT BUT TO LOOK ELSE WHERE. I CALLED A FRIEND WHO TOLD ME ABOUT CALLING 211 - IT'S KIND OF INFORMATION ON WHAT RESOURCES ARE OPEN TO YOU (FOOD BANKS, SHELTERS, UNITED WAY AND SO FORTH. SO I GAVE HER THAT TOO. </B>Dinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03618419758674326005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28721703.post-40980792037988187812007-03-15T11:12:00.000-05:002007-03-15T11:12:00.000-05:00The best assvice I have for your is to establish t...The best assvice I have for your is to establish the rules and boundaries in writing before she moves in, if you decide to go with that. Also, I like the idea of a deadline. It may also help your friend to know ahead of time what is expected of her and decide on a way for her to contribute to expenses, whether it's a small simple rent fee or contributing to gas and electricity. Good luck.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01904286943340898221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28721703.post-56926892769782211282007-03-14T23:21:00.000-05:002007-03-14T23:21:00.000-05:00That is so kind of you, but it's still a tough dec...That is so kind of you, but it's still a tough decision. I think that idea about setting a deadline is very, very good. Clearly your friend has some behaviors that worry you, and you need to make sure you have that worked out before (if) she moves in. <BR/><BR/>Good luck.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09747874295331152779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28721703.post-28834879655999521352007-03-14T21:52:00.000-05:002007-03-14T21:52:00.000-05:00Oct 22nd sounds good...but if you think you might ...Oct 22nd sounds good...but if you think you might want her to leave a bit sooner you could always use your b-day as an excuse. You could say for your b-day Grumpy is redoing the room for you.<BR/>Just a thought.<BR/><BR/>Plus, if there was ANY way possible...I'd drive over n keep an eye on your pets. I used to just LOVE Virginia when I lived there.<BR/><BR/>(Pssssst!

Maybe even have it notarized if you know a notary. (My sister is one, that's why that occurred to me.)<BR/><BR/>I think you are very generous and kind to consider helping a friend. And congrats on being so close to graduation! :)Lesleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13832228441147193130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28721703.post-4000890895844704862007-03-14T17:59:00.000-05:002007-03-14T17:59:00.000-05:00I like Dan's idea October 22nd.You're a good perso...I like Dan's idea October 22nd.<BR/><BR/>You're a good person to help out though.

I was thinking about your idea too. The other thing is that I will turn that room into an office when I graduate (Oct 22 !!!!) and that would be the final deadline.Dinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03618419758674326005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28721703.post-46472402116647845622007-03-14T13:07:00.000-05:002007-03-14T13:07:00.000-05:00Katy, you're very sweet and generous to consider h...Katy, you're very sweet and generous to consider helping your friend like this. And Grumpy too. And you have so many excellent questions, that can't be answered until you actually put your plan to the test.<BR/><BR/>Is it possible to tell her that you'll host her for x amount of time and then, after x has passed, decide whether to ask her to leave or let her stay? Would she agree to that?<BR/><BR/>(I'm heading to your AdSense to make some click throughs. By the way, I have them on my site too -- way at the bottom on the right. :))Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09763751210167358084noreply@blogger.com
