Wow, what a busy couple of days... how do you guys manage to find the time to keep up with these message boards? I'm kicking my rump trying to manage my time effectively. And it doesn't help that my yard's sump pump went belly up... Now I am a waterfront property!
I'm definitely taking a great deal of advice from all of you... I've decided on several "policy" changes, and to up my rate (trying to decide how much now...). Hopefully I can get some time tomorrow to update online!
This first guest just gets stranger and stranger... We're looking forward to the day he leaves! :/ He's 24/25, and is leaving next week to take a tour of Europe. Before he goes, he wants to sell his 2013 $45k luxury SUV, which is already paid off. He asked us for advice on how to sell it earlier in the week- he didn't want to pay to put an ad in the newspaper, didn't like the amount the dealer was offering, and needs to sell it within a week. So anyway, DH asked him last night how it was going and he said he was taking it to the dealership to sell it today. Then he asked if he could use my husband's car for the rest of his stay. Ummm.... seriously?? How about a rental?!?
This morning when he came down for breakfast (yes, he got the point about breakfast being within the timeframe I had originally set..), the first thing he asked me was, "So, you have a motorcycle?" I said yes.... The he asked, "You don't have another car?" So I said no, but why did you ask my husband last night to borrow our car? While smiling, he responded that he was selling his car today so he wouldn't have one and he needed a way to get around before he leaves next week. All I could think to say in response is that it's not really proper to ask someone you don't really know to borrow their car (especially since he had already told me that he was involved in TWO accidents with his 2013 SUV!) He just laughed. <slap forehead>
