Dude, you are SO missing the point here. Besides, I’m too old to be crashing in the common areas at colege dorms (or slopeside ski time shares).
CaerieD:
The couch is currently taken, but I have a lovely little room that can be reached through the upstairs linen closet. We call it the bat room. There’s also, disturbingly, a few abused Barbie dolls left from the previous owners.
You won’t mind, will you?
While I do appreciate the hospitality, it sounds like I might have trouble sleeping in the environment you describe.
Aside: if you don’t do something about those barbies, the next owners will think they’re yours. Just sayin’.
Omegaman:
Man! Your old lady’s gonna break a foot off in your ass! You better be watchin’ them kids too. You remember the shit you got into when you was a kid? Same shit,different day.
Sleepin’ on the couch my ass!
Let’s keep them out of this. You really wouldn’t put me up?
I got no problem with parrots and I’d be willing to clean their cages to help earn my keep. I used to have birds. Had nanday conyurs, sun conyurs, quaker parakeets, budgies, and a cockatiel. Lots of fun.

I’ll be there in…however long it takes to travel from Boston to Maryland. Your place sounds cool .
You want him to do the floors and installation naked ?
I got a few bucks for cheese and mousetraps, and I do windows.
Out place is a little small, but I can point out a nice park nearby. You’ll want to hurry, though because the rainy season will be here in June.

Thank you!
On the train it takes like seven hours to get to Baltimore. By car I think maybe eight or nine hours? By plane I don’t know because I’ve never flown it.
Let us know how and when you’re arriving. Meanwhile I’ll fire up the ice bucket and shaker!
You know I would. I’ve almost brought homeless people home. :smack:
Creaky:
Why not? Houseguests are fun, dude!
Breakfast’s at 10, cleared by noon or so. Bloody Marys are on til 3pm if you want them.
You’re on your own for lunch or we can all go out somewhere. There’s some nice restaurants around here. None of that hipster city vibe, no, sir!
Drinks before dinner can start whenever we all get back from lunch, with snacks!
Dinner is whenever, probably between 8pm and 10pm.
Lots of talking at dinner and after, and the first night we all have to trade scary ghost stories.
The other nights you’re here we can go do karaoke with my buddies or go hang out at the neighborhood bar across the street from me. They have good food and are frequented by a lot of old people who are characters and it’s pretty cool.
Crash whenever. I usually go to bed pretty late.
There’s CDs to listen to, lots of different kinds of music, but no fancy sound system. The television works, sort of, but I only really get one station. No DVD player or video games or Xboxes or Wiis; it’s pretty basic around here. Maybe we can go to dinner or a cookout at my friend Maria’s house, there’s always something going on there.
Daytimes you’re on your own or we can go shopping or maybe to a museum.
Just call and let me know when to expect you.
Wow! This sounds almost too good to be true! And only a day away from Boston! Hot damn! Bloody Mary time!

No smoking, no drugs, and no lushes.
There’s no inside pets but the couch isn’t something I’d want to sleep on too many times, just too uncomfortable.
You’re clear for a week, but longer than that and you’re expected to contribute expenses and/or chores.
We’ll leave the light on for ya!
Oh, and we should have my couch moved in by then - large sectional with queen hide-a-bed. very comfy. Country livin so its pretty quiet - there are dogs but they stay outside. Who am I kiddin? One of 'em is practically a freakin horse (huge black dog named shaq)… occassionally a mouse or two sneak in but SO’s good about gettin the bugger. We both cook so you wont starve. Just do your own laundry & buy your own soaps (sorry, but all I have is the smelly good liquid soap). Keep your hands off my teenage daughter. Groping my SO is permited as long as I can watch, and maybe he’ll let you take out expenses in trade (heehee just kidding)
You can be my guinea pig & let me work my voodoo on you
Texas is a decent place & not too far of a drive to New Orleans or Houston - even shorter to Dallas.
You come here and I’ll go visit Creaky

So, you’d put me up at your place in the country, but on the condition I keep my hands off your teenaged daughter? Did I just wander into a travelling salesman joke?

Much obliged. What’s the over/under for being a lush? Six?
NurseCarmen:
The Irish cousin is coming in a couple weeks to stay for the summer. After that, I might see if I can gouge some republicans for a weeks stay in the musty basement. But hey, it has a king sized bed, a jacuzzi tub, it’s own bathroom, the beer fridge, and a sump pump that goes off all hours of the day and night. What’s not to like?
Dude, I’m confused. Is this a yes or a no?
over yonder is the meadow, wherest is thou meadow?
Oh, bonus points if you wear a kilt, play the bagpipes, and dont mind a midnight picnic & stroll through the old town cemetary.
Lush is more about frequency than quantity. If you’re under the influence more often than you’re not, you’re a lush. Not to say that quantity doesn’t matter, but there are more factors.

**Winston ** and Pix , y’all rock!
I’d say come this weekend but it’s Saturday evening already and I’m actually leaving myself in about an hour to go my folks’ house for a couple of days. I need to get a move on because drinks and snacks started at their place some time ago!!
I don’t think they make them in my size, but if they did, I would.
How 'bout you, then, eh?
(wooosh over my head)
