Need your honest opinions here

Hi all, I need some honest opinions about this.  Let me give you a quick run down.


I just got out of an abusive relationship, had to move in with DD.  I need my own home, my only source of income is SS, so I dont have a lot of money.  I posted an ad on our local craigslist asking if anyone wanted a roommate or had a house to share.  I got this answer, my first thought was no I dont want to be responsible like this at this time, I need peace of mind to do what I want when I want and to work on getting my life back together.  So I very politely refused, and profusely thanked him.  Now I am wondering if I did the right thing and should I email him back, meet with him and see if we could work things out.  Below is his response to my ad, PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK!


 


36 male near greenville but actually in the upstate area, i seen your
ad and it caught my eye, i live alone in a 3 bedroom house with one
bath, im  sweet, loyal, kind, im looking for a female who can be
companship to me, help me clean and cook , in exchange the rent wold be
reasonable,  , live in country and have over 5 acres for your dog , i

I understand now why you feel that you need to move right away.

Good morning,


I just thought of something, here in calif we have senior housing and you can put your name of the list and they call you if one opens up. Verns aunt pays $236 a month and the government pays the rest.


If your area has something like that you might check into it. A lot of Motels have jobs for managers and they live in the managers apartment. We have a friend at the coast that does that and she loves it. You would want to be careful what type of motel it was, but Econo Lodge does that a lot.


There are a lot of things besides running dangerous adds in Craigs List.


I hope that you find something that you want and need, and get out on your own, with the economy so bad you better look fast.


good luck, betty

One other thing I forgot about the senior houseing here, they are just beautiful and very well maintained, just a thought I know most states have them.

I have 20+ years experience in the medial field, I applied to our local hospital and their HR person told me my experience was out dated.


I am going to check into the senior housing in my area.


Thanks for your ideas and reply.

Gee Beverly,


I am sorry that the hospital HR person told you that your experience was outdated.

Since when did medical terminology and anatomy change?
