I don't get it. If you didn't need help then why did you ask for it?
Ozzie didn't have to respond at all but what you wrote may have hurt her feelings. Isn't this like crying wolf? What's up? Are you too proud to ask or admit you need a home because you've been turned down? Or is this genuinely a finger on the pulse of humanity? If it is a test, here's your answer...
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!, I'd never take someone in from what I knew of them over the internet. That's just stupid. I've rented my room to people who've stolen from me and ruined my property. They invaded my privacy, did illegal drugs in their room and made me have to call the cops for protection. And this is after I've screened them before they've moved in.
Twice I've had to go to the police and twice the police told me point blank "Don't EVER take ANY stranger under your roof."
Not only that but a few nights could legally turn into months because of the eviction laws most states have out now.
It's not a question of humanity-it's a question of survival and of protecting oneself.
I don't see the point of this exercise.
