First Step
Hi all....I made it through the first step. My landlord wants to keep me as a tenant, so told me it was OK for me to become a host mother to International students. I contacted the local community college, and they are sending me an application....yea! If this happens, it will really be a financial help to me. My friend at work may do it again too so our kids can get together. I am hoping for 2 girls...my friend hosted 3 boys and they ate a ton! So...things are looking-up.

"Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful." -- Buddha
That's great news! 
Yep, boys can eat a lot--they're mostly hollow. LOl.
I hope you luck out and get the girls, especially if you're paying for all the groceries.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
Hahahaha.....I actually have seen some girls at school who could eat a ton too.... 
My house doesn't have a rec room....so I am hoping for some quiet studious types, but...beggars can't be choosers! Hey, these kids will be young adults, they may be gone a lot too! Either way, It will be an interesting experience. Nite nite...JJ

I found that girls go through the hungry stage much earlier than boys. I remember my daughter at 13-14 telling me that the only time she wasn't hungry was the 15 minutes after dinner. She grew to 6'.
I can see the electric bills being higher and the phone! There are so many more shampoos, conditioners, makeup, etc. that girls "need". Oh well, at least they usually do less damage to things like walls, lamps and cars.
It's a good thing you're doing, enjoy it.
Love, Jean

Be kind to everyone, because you never know what battles they are fighting.
