Well, as long as we're dreaming, I'll go for maybe several million. That will do me good for now.

HJFinAZ: No, no, no dear lady.......... You of all people do NOT need to hide in your sandbox, please come back out.
I am simply trying to say, so many "choose" to live in fear these days and I just do not understand why.. Fear has torn the world apart..

Living in fear is a bit different to being cautious and not exposing oneself to unecessary dangers which might generate fear ...
Women in particular have to be more cautious than men!!!
I was in similar situation to you with a guy in the street who obviously needed help but every one was ignoring him. At that time I was living on my own with my 2 young kids. I offered the help I could and gave him some money BUT I drew the line at having him in our home although he mentioned it, because of my kids safety and my own. So may be it was fear that prevented me from offering him a roof ... OR may be it was common sense ...
I feel you are being a little too judgemental of people who use their common sense to determine whether something is safe or not, by telling them they live in fear ... There is a difference between being fearless and being reckless ... IMHO

Hey! God will not let my hand burn on that scalding hot iron. (Ouch)
There's a difference in using discernment regarding judgement and disregarding any judgment at all.

HJFinAZ: It seems many take offense to one offering another a place to stay, a meal, etc. if another visits or relocates to there area.
What is a stranger (although I am pretty strange to some)? I once heard it said a stranger is simply a friend one has yet to meet. I like that concept.
If ANYONE came to visit AZ, they would be welcome to stay with my mom & I for a few days if they needed/wanted. I do have a spare room. I do NOT care who they are. I am one that believes that if someone would take me up on such an offer and they screwed me over, it would be on them, not on me.
...
So, I am an open and friendly type of guy, is that wrong? Maybe some others should learn that it is OK to be open and friendly..

Hi Pat,It's good to know that ppl like you are still around - what the world be like without them?
But in the situation with this lady (whose post triggered yours), generosity and friendliness was not the case!
That strange man (a future friend
) didn't simply say "I understand you have your reasons to decline my offer, however, please know it still stands if you change your mind."
He started cursing and wishing her harm
It's not OK for a single lady (or any one ) to be open and friendly with freaks.
Like someone alredy said: there is a diff between not cultivating fear and stupidity.

Did I say others are living in fear or did I ask if they were?
I did say, "I no longer choose to live in fear..
What exactly, is "common sense"?? If something makes sense to one, is it required to make sense to another? Just asking a question..
You have the right to "FEEL" any way you choose to feel...

Actually, Morgans thread did not trigger this one, it did however trigger the thought I am trying to make. And, I still believe only Morgan knows the inner most feelings she is/was having as to her perceived rudeness. I do not blame her, I have told more than one what they can kiss and would happily do it again.
Some would differ with you on the opinion that it is a good thing senile old farts like me are still around..

Hugz_n_Kissez: I don't think it's offensive if you know the person somewhat and have interacted with them...I would find it somewhat strange if a person mailed me out of the blue not ever having talked to me and offered me a place to stay though...I certainly would never take them up on it for one...nor would I offer someone I had never spoke with accomodations at my own place...BUT If you have talked with them and interacted with them I don't see a problem...there's being nice and then there's crossing boundaries and I would see a stranger e-mailing me that I have never even spoke to offering me accomodations as crossing my boundary line....
To clarify the thread i started earlier,The guy had never mailed me before and offered me free accommodation . did i need any other help and did i need a job, i answered saying no thank you, he then mailed me and said he had been to the resort i worked in. I didn't answer that mail he then mailed me and said i was rude for not answering and i deserved any bad luck i got,
It made me feel uncomfortable and as i am in a strange country feel vulnerable to such offers from a stranger i am not saying the guy had a hidden agenda, just did not feel comfortable about it
