Anyone want to be roomies?
« on: November 10, 2017, 06:38:17 am »
Hello! Does anyone have an extra room in their house to spare that you might like to offer, and not just offer, but follow thru on?

I am willing to live just about anywhere, although at the present moment, something closer to me would be better. Anywhere I could get to easily, even if it an hour or two away, via public transit. Or maybe you might be willing to offer to pick me up? That way I know things won't fall thru.

I can pay a reasonable rate. I am not looking for anything fancy. We can talk off the board, if you like. Just leave an email. I prefer a room to myself with at least a twin size bed, but that be forgone as long as there is some other soft arrangement to sleep on. Mattresses are getting overplayed.

I am just looking for something thru the end of the year or so. Maybe a month. Maybe the latest mid-January, assuming you do not meddle into my housing/apartment search.

We all like this site, so maybe it might work out. We can work it out on here or thru a site like AirBnB, but I do not really like that site. I might not be able to check this message board much, but reply as you can, and I will try to follow up.

Thanks.

I do not have a spare room to offer, but I noticed you said anywhere is okay but that you prefer someplace close to where you already are - yet you do not say what region that is!  Also - if anyone on FC were to make you an offer - you do realize that you would have to GIVE UP Fusion Cash for the duration of your stay in that household, right?  No sharing of Internet access is allowed across multiple FC accounts. Violating that rule could get you both banned.   :(

I'm not so sure that what you're asking is so very safe? I hope you find somewhere to stay thought, just please be careful.  The above poster is right by the way...You can only have one account per isp so you wouldn't be able to have fc while staying with someone with a membership.

Wouldn't it be easier to check craigslist?  That way you know you're looking in the area you're interested.   Also, you would be able to see the room/apt before committing and get to meet the person before moving in with them.

I think this poster has focused on what you need to focus on...safety.  You need to look on Craigslist or any small paper ads in your area.  You might want to contact mobile home communities or apartment complexes and see if anyone is having trouble with finances or losing a roommate, for example.
You give very little information about your situation, such as what general city/area you live, how old you are, if you are employed, what your habits are (like drinking or smoking), do you have a pet, how long this would be, what your expectations might be (do you expect full privileges of the house or just a bedroom/bath, for example).  There are many variables/unknowns here, both for you and the person you might live with.  It could make for a dangerous situation without full honest disclosure.  How would you find that out regarding a stranger?
Frankly, in this situation, Fusion is the least of your worries!

If you just need a place to sleep & not really choosy, you could check out hostels in your area.
Most have community/common areas, and you either will share a room though, but it is pretty cheap.

Good luck on your quest, I agree with a previous poster to check the craigslist in your local area, they seem to always have rooms posted.

Is it just me or does this OG post smell like 5 day old grocery sushi? I may be a skeptic, but I know people who have needed a new living situation desperately and they don't act like this. I feel like you're a troll or phishing for others' personal information.

Ha Ha... only one Fusion Account per Internet Address? ... As if Fusion was my biggest concern.


/snip/


Is Fusion really that important to you? 

So sweet and thoughtful of you. Shows real true compassion and concern.


I'm going to assume that your sarcasm is directed at me since I am the one who brought up the possible FC violation of terms this arrangement might cause.  Nevermind that I opened my comments by informing you that I did not have a room available and that it was difficult to give you options since you did not say what region you are currently in, but expressed a desire to stay within one to two hours or wherever that is - if possible. That information would certainly be useful if this is a legitimate issue for you.

To answer your question, yes, Fusion is that important to me as it is helping to pay some bills at the moment. If you want to judge me for that or assign a label to me based upon your assumption of my priorities and perceived lack of compassion, go right ahead. I could give you a list of community organizations I am involved in (year round - not just during the holidays) which show my true levels of compassion and concern, but that would be pointless.

Rather than defend myself to you, I am going to agree with breazybu on the opinion that you are simply a troll phisherman. If that it not the case, then I truly hope that you find (or have already found) a safe place to stay. Others have given you some options and you have the ability to follow up on those yourself. Best of luck to you.

I am pretty sure this would be against the forum rules but hey they don't enforce those so you should be good. Not sure why you are wanting to just move in with a random stranger and say you would be willing to move to just about any where to move in with this random stranger.  Good way for somebody to get killed.  Maybe you don't watch the news but it happens all the time when meeting people online. Personally I wouldn't let most of the people I know move in with me. Let alone someone I didn't know. Wouldn't even let them in the house.

I really don't have the spear room. You see its me, my husband, and 4 children in a three bedroom. So we have very limited space

And I guess you said household, living together does not make people in the same household, if you do not have to share expenses for one another. I am not sure what Fusion's rules are right now...


Just came across the below quoted detail (while looking up something else) included in the Terms of Service at I.A.iv. It may not be the original poster's primary concern, but for anyone else who came across this thread and thought that the above 'logic' sounded sufficient and reasonable. Clearly, the above definition of a "household" is not the same as FusionCash's definition of a household:

"Users must not create more than one account per person, nor may they create more than one account per household. A "household" is defined as a single dwelling (including basements, attics, extensions, etc). Should a user be a member of more than one household, he/she must be the only FusionCash user in each of those households."

Oh, sorry, I thought this thread was deleted or something. I didn't see it the last time I checked. Thought maybe I broke a rule or something for a moment, but this is the off-topic section and that is what this is....

Ha Ha... only one Fusion Account per Internet Address? ... As if Fusion was my biggest concern. We could always get a second Internet address or whatever they call it, network? I am not sure how that might work, whether or not it is thru the ISP as a sub account or two separate Internet Service Provider accounts. I really don't know what I am talking about right now, but I think it could happen. And I guess you said household, living together does not make people in the same household, if you do not have to share expenses for one another. I am not sure what Fusion's rules are right now, but this is a big and old one for a lot of things that people do not understand. Is Fusion really that important to you? 

So sweet and thoughtful of you. Shows real true compassion and concern.   

lol It is quite obvious you do not know what you are talking about. You can't get a second internet address. Whatever that is.  You seemed to have totally jumped topics.  First you are asking for somebody to let you move in with them then you are talking about well I am not really sure.

As for accounts and FC if you live in the same house then you are in the same household and it is one account per household.  If you share an internet connection with the house beside you it is going to show coming from the same connection and therefore be considered the same household.
