Re: Living Arrangements

Right, for the world, it's no big deal. They do it all the time.... But I don't care what denomination you are in, most of them would look down on this situation. Rhoni asked what the church thought... Looks like most of us church peoplez here felt the same way.... It just isn't healthy.

As for me.... if I were single, not in church...... there is still no way whatsoever that I would share a place with a man... No thank you! I wouldn't share a place with anyone... My space, my bathroom, my fridge, my house keys....... yep, it's all mine!!!!!!!! I'd move into a studio apartment before I'd have someone help out with $$$$...

Blessigns, Rhoni
So this is just basically what they "wished" they could do. I've yet to see that many single men needing to share a space with someone. If they did....there's a reason.

Speaking of which...Jeff and I were watching Hannah's basketball game last week, and a guy sat down on the bleacher in front of us...and we had a bird's eye view of a lot of...well...more than I can really share. To help you understand the depth of the problem--I don't think he was wearing underwear.

We were trying so hard not to laugh, and trying not to look while being somehow compelled to look (and then snort and snicker some more). It was pretty hideous! His daughter laid her coat behind him, hiding everything, thank God for small favors.

Re: Living Arrangements

So get a gay roommate. Male companionship, and no threat to your reputation. Or a eunuch might work....

That's what modern day women are missing--eunuchs.

No, I mean "eunuchs" are a brilliant idea.

Re: Living Arrangements

If a gay man was living with a woman he might see something that might get his signal corrected and he might decide to cash in on what he has been missing.
