Today’s Question:
When was the last time you lived in a ‘share’ situation with someone who wasn’t a ‘significant other’ or a relative? How did (or does) it work out? I've had a friend sleep over twice because she drove a distance to visit me (the most recent was back in June). Another friend stayed over a few nights a few years ago due to going through a season of homelessness. I'm SO grateful that she's gotten back on her feet and she isn't reliant upon others. I actually enjoyed the company and would not mind a roommate .... Unfortunately, my apartment is too small to share with anyone but wish I was in a larger place with a roommate as living solo isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Do you still own any of the books you had in your childhood? When was the last time you read one of them, and what is its title? I did not read much when I was a child so I don't recall any books that I had as a child. A lot of my books got left or loss during several relocations in the late 1990's ...

[quote=Kobber;25626797]Good morning everyone and welcome to QOTD for Tuesday, August 14th. I finally have a fully furnished and decorated computer/living room in my converted garage! My friend has moved in and now her furniture sits in my old living room and we’ve been busily unpacking her things and rearranging the other rooms in the house to suit both of us! It’s nice to have company but at the same time to have our own space.

In my 20s I lived in a variety of houses with roommate. For the most part it worked out really well. Some became good friends, others I never contacted again after I moved out. One was a real loser--oh well, can't win 'em all.

I have to say, the man was a great story teller.
