Hi Wonder and Queenie,

Points well noted. I am requiring references and will be doing a background check. Our town is small enough and I have been here long enough that it is pretty easy for me to learn what I need to about a person.

Yesterday I was having my weekly phone call w/my sister. She was complaining about our mom and the election. Sis and mom are complete opposites this year, and my mom keeps telling sis, "you're young, you don't really know..." To which sis replied, "mom, I'm 48! When will you treat me like an adult!?"

When talking to sis she shared some concerns about me getting a roommate as well. I told her the same thing she told my mom, only I said, "I'm 51!" \:D

Anyways, I realize this is all helpful concern. And thank you.

S had his dental work rescheduled for this morning. I had offered to drive him, but he called me today after he had the procedure done. He took the bus there and was waiting for the bus to take him home.

He is 22 and SO independent! I am really proud of him. Tho a big part of me misses more constant interaction.

It seems that another spit storm hit the board. That makes me sad. I have really enjoyed the support and camaraderie of the bb since I joined all those many years ago.
