No. There is an extra bedroom, but it's used as an office and there's no room for a bed. Anyone who insists on staying with us has to sleep on the floor.
If so, what is that room normally, when not being used by a visitor-or is it only for guests?
Bonus:
Have you ever gotten a blister on your foot while wearing shoes? Many times.
Were the shoes too large, too small, too new, too old, did you wear them for too long or with the wrong kind of socks-or something else?
I'd say the usual reasons were that the shoes were too small and/or I wore them for too long. On another occasion, I the reason was that I wore old, abrasive cotton socks on a long hike.
Just for Fun:
If you have any of these items, have you:
washed/rinsed/wiped out your trash can, recycle bin, and/or compost container? Yes, occasionally they get a good cleaning or hosing off.

Don't have laundry bags. In college I used plastic garbage bags then used them for trash.
I hope people launder their re-usable grocery bags. Must be a germ trap.
