[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCUM you never fail to leave a thread nasty.

Wow.  I am glad I’m posting on her behalf.

(And I don’t live close enough to be involved - even weekly & am working so I trying to get ideas)

But really some of you are so rotten.  I just wanted ideas.

Thank you to those that offered house share, church and explained how to divide the needs.

Peace![/quote]

NP.

Honestly, there really is an icky overtone to the thread. It has echoes of that Benjamin Franklin quote about reasons to seek out older women for carnal pleasure, ending "8thly and Lastly They are so grateful!!"

I get that may not be what you mean, OP, and it may not have occurred to you about the framing. But you are specifically looking for someone who is "lonely" and "would appreciate the financial arrangement & boarding." If you offer a good salary and good working conditions, you wouldn't have to specify any conditions on who might be willing to settle for it. You only do that when prospective employees are expected to be grateful for what they can get, or at minimum, willing to access less because they have so little and no negotiating power.

That's the whiff of icky that is triggering the responses you don't like, I think. [/quote]
