I always look forward to checking in on MyLot, and I consider some of the people I know here to be real friends. But would I invite them to stay at my house if they were visiting my area?
For the moment, I'll pretend I live in a bigger house, with a pasture and several guest bedrooms. @JudyEvans and her husband and Herc would be welcome here. So would many other of my MyLot friends (you know who you are).
But what if a visit turned out to be a disaster?
I actually dated someone I met on anther writing site (Epinions). She lived in Texas, and I lived in California. We visited each other a coupe of times each. She turned out to be a "psycho hose beast," and I terminated my last visit to Texas early, fearing for my safety.
Are we who we seem to be? Would you invite a MyLot friend to stay with you if they were visiting your area?

I think you would have to book yourself into therapy after staying at our mad house. Sometimes it is just to manic with all the comings and goings!

It takes all kinds to make a world and even a Mylot world. Some are sane and some aren't. I have no place to have a friend over but if I did I might do that. Your Texas visit sound scary.

I think we know for the most part about each other. I would allow anyone to come for a visit, even if it wasn't what I expected I would make the best of it to the best of my ability. =)
Most true colors show through here whether people intend them to or not.

@TheHorse Maybe she was better at hiding her true colors than most. Lol. Psychos are good at that I suppose.

@CoralLevang I got lucky but it turned out to be unlucky. I do think that there were signs that I ignored.

Any of my Mylot friends who are visiting in my area are more the welcome to come stay at my place. I don't have a huge place but I can always make room.

In real life, I have a couch. And an "artist" apartment (projects everywhere). In my fantasy world, I have a lovely LL Bean decorated guest bedroom for couples, and a small pasture for Herc or any other sheep, goat or horse someone might bring with them.

@Happy2BeMe Heh. I live humbly, even though I really don't have to.

Well, that's a hard question. A few maybe, but not with a family and kids in tow. Anyone else I'd point out the nearest motel.

@TheHorse I have had friends from AC/Yahoo over for a cookout and one lady from IN stopped in to meet me on her way to FL. Another ac/yahoo person lives not too far and I write for her travel blog....I just wouldn't invite 'strangers' to stay in my home.

I met my husband on line. But the first time we met in person, was in a public place and we didn't know where each other lived. I might follow that sort of procedure.
On the other hand people who run a B&B have strangers in their home all the time!

People would not want to stay with me lets just put it that way. I think psycho hose beast is putting it mildly to describe me and my tribe here.

Most definately. I could write a book on the havoc the last 5 years in my house and 10 roomates (plus two that just moved in, the verdict is out)...
