safer way to find roommates than craigslist?

I used roommates.com and spareroom.com

I had to pay $25 for 3 months, but potential room mates had profiles.

I would contact them and then text them for a time...asking about themselves, etc. Then I would meet them/show the rooms.

Ended up with 2 strangers who have lived here 5 months. I'm mostly happy with them now...after a "talk" with one...

Also bought Arlo cameras @Costco and that helps because in the common areas, anyway, people are on "best behavior"

I also have 4 kids, so cams are a safety thing too...and also security vs home intrusion

I have been on this site for a long time!

I think it's just off to a slow start. I'm sorta sad to come here and find nobody else here most of the time too....

Happy New Year!

Most of my family members were in bed by 10pm. My oldest son is staying up with me and we are watching a movie. He made us both hot cocoa :)Tomorrow, I will let the younger three kids do some sparklers and popper thingies....

I have been married for nearly 18 years. It's not a piece of cake and it hasn't always been happy.

He's my 2nd husband. I was married to my 1st for 3 years, but he was gay/bisexual and "still in the closet" while we were married.

I have never really been single. I've always had a serious boyfriend/marriage. I feel like I missed out by not having some fully single years....

im in that boat at the moment pepper! this is the first time i have ever been single for more than a few months. just been lond term boyfriends and then my recent hiccup. i dont really know what to do with myself and im not enjoying it as much as everyone else seems to!

i also suffer with mental health issues at especially over the christmas period its really played on my mind and been getting to me how lonely its making me feel. The cat doesnt quite provide the same support as a partner would! xD my family and friends say i should just enjoy it and chill out but its just so alien i dont really know how!

I feel like I was relentlessly pursued. I was too nice and would never say "back off," and would therefore end up in relationships. And once I was in the relationships, I would let the guys do things for me... so then I became sort of dependent in a way (??)

Anyway, I am older now, and I would really like to be alone for a while. NOT that I don't love my husb. Just that I have never "done that" before.

That aside, I am perfectly comfortable with myself. I have lots of things that I can do that occupy my time and energy. As long as I don't fall into a depression.

However, the sad part is that I feel like I might fall into a depression without the husb and kids who need me every day.

I've noticed churches are kind of exclusive too, when they should be as inclusive as they possibly can. That's what Jesus would do. Plus church attendance has plummeted in the last 30 years. It used to be that 40% of the population regularly attended church and now it is less than 20%... and they're running people off.

This ^^^ is sadly true
