in retrospect...

I won't be locking this journal. It's an inconvenience to me and to be honest, I couldn't really care who reads this... but just because this is a "public journal" does not give you the right to complain if I happen to whine. You don't have to read it. Go ahead and block me. But I'll continue to post how I feel, regardless of the reality

You know, I don't remember ... was this house rented or bought? If it's bought, I suspect they're taking advantage. (Same if it's rented and they aren't paying you rent.)

It's bought... I'm paying the mortgage... I'm charging them $5/night (and splitting utilities) because I know they're looking for an apartment and they're trying to save so they can get a 3 bdrm place... but I haven't collected pay yet...

Time to start demanding it. Don't let yourself be taken advantage of so blatantly. $5 a night is far too cheap. No wonder they aren't looking hard.

the $5/night was the rate my mother suggested since they don't stay here on the weekends... but I'm thinking I'm going to make it just $150/month plus the utilities... so that makes it about $250/month when I divide up the bills...

I'm going to need to ask for it soon...

glad you're still alive amid the mess. I was kind of worried about this happening the last time I was out there, but I didn't want to sound all adult and preachy. Still, they're good people, if not a little young. I'm sure they'll hit you up if you just make sure to ask. And really, five dollars a night to stay with you is a bargain, if only for your company and support.

Deadline tends to motivate people into action. Such as finding out you're getting let go from work in two weeks tends to make you look for new work more actively. Perhaps you should make a deadline for them too. Some people just needs a little push to make them move.
