The first time I heard people talking about “stigma,” I was surprised. I thought sex was just part of the body & something I could discuss freely.
(Re: “Old Europe:” A One-Bedroom Motel-Apartment in Kamloops, BC, to share at the Desert Inn: Unit #265-755 West Columbia Street, Kamloops, BC, V2C 1K8. (C/O: The Star Lodge Motel-Office: 775 West Columbia Street, Kamloops, BC, V2C 1K9.))
Hi! How’s the search going? Say: I’d like you to come to well-being & be where you’re best off. What are your interests, skills & life-experience? My name’s Renee Taylor. I’m 64, & I don’t have a phone or DL. I’m vaxxed, don’t use substances, was spanked & agree with Corporal Punishment done appropriately. If you have relationship-experience, had formal education, are vaxxed, don’t use substances (& tried facing your issues?) Could you please spend some time reviewing my two lengthy Roomie Descriptions? (They entail subject-matter that you may find distressing, but it’s best that you make an informed decision about me as early as possible.) If you think we’ve got similar intellectual & emotional drives, for surviving a temporary period of being in close 1/4’s, may I please be granted an online contact?
(A Civilian, I don’t have a Camera. A sweetener you could bring would be a Camera that can record Visuals & Audio 24/7 from inside the Motel-Apartment. I need data that I can take to police to support a “Criminal Harassment-” (CCC: Article 264. (1)) Investigation I’m doing, as an untrained member of the public. My rights-activism may have brought on a bit of social detriment that I want to bring to a close. Like the analytical approach? I hope you agree that passionate discourse can be exhilarating & may not be about injuring someone.)
In ‘24, an “Initial Site Plan” was done at the Desert Inn & nearby Kamloops Star Lodge. IDK what it means. Likely constructed in the ‘60’s or ‘70’s, the Motels are owned by the same Company, are located at Kamloops’ “Sahali-” area & are within walking distance of Thompson Rivers University.
I don’t have a formal Lease-document for staying here, & pay a $1500/month rent-cost (utils incl) & obtain a Motel-Room Receipt & Till-Tape when I pay. If I had a Roommate, we’d each pay $750/month (utils incl,) obtaining some kind of written confirmation from one another. The Motel-Apartment needs cleaning & small upgrades done, something I’m trying to accomplish. Unless my finances improve, I may have to move out by the end of Feb. ‘26 (on my birthday, when my pension stops,) b/c I won’t be able to afford the rent.
Questions for my Co-renters:
-
Can you help run a productive home?
-
Do you agree with Separation of Church & State?
-
Do you have a CR? Can you go thru the “Hare Psychopathy Checklist?”
-
What’s your 5-Year Plan?
(If you plan to be busy with productive activities that have a goal, I don’t mind if what you do while we’re under the same roof isn’t strenuous, all-consuming or fast-paced. But I’ll expect you to be trying to become self-sufficient, or to get back on your feet to where you were before the onset of a hindrance, while you seek your next housing opportunity. I’d accept: That you’re approaching insolvency & need housing; that you’re looking for a certain kind of housing & need a place to stay in the meantime; that you’re recuperating from a health-prob before you can return to doing greater tasks; that you’ve had a set-back (imposed by someone else?) & were forced to give up a homefront, or that you’re solvent & want to live with me while working, attending school, seeking (eg, a job or training-program,) or volunteering (while you seek your next housing opportunity.))
We’ll have a Fixed-Term (DIY, Custom) Contract (eg, Lease) which has an ensured Move-Out Date & established time-period (6months-2years?) & which allows for the unexpected & for options to extend/renew, & which makes us live up to the Charter/Criminal Code, the Motel-Owners’ preferred certified rent payment-method, productive activity (ie, home-upkeep/other timelines) & (A. House-Rules.)
In my opinion, disadvantages at Motel-Apartment #265 include:
-Noise from Columbia Street;
-An occasional strong odour of (eg, 420 or tobacco) wafting in from people nearby;
-Meagre Soundproofing: Please exert that you reduce-to-0 any noise you make. It seems noise travels downwards; therefore, as a good Tenant would, please try to be mindful of impacts on other people at a Building, particularly when walking on the Floor. A downstairs Neighbor indicated that noise, made in my Unit, is loud;
-Obsolete Fire Safety-features that include a Smoke Detector who’s piercing sound seems to go off for no reason: In ’25, it passed a Fire Safety-Check. In addition, it seems I have to replace its 9V Battery ≈ every 1-2 months. But in Dec ‘25, the Smoke Detector went off when I’d let a pot of water boil on my Hotplate for too long. To my relief, almost as soon as I opened Doors & Windows to flush out any Smoke, the Smoke Detector stopped beeping;
-No Surveillance-Technology;
-Ongoing Gaslighting- or Harassment-Behavior (CCC: Article 264. (1)) w/Building Associates, something for which I’ve no proof. My impression is that, generally & on any given day, I don’t start things (?) But you should talk to everyone concerned, because I’ve certainly criticized, bickered & quarrelled audibly (in an attempt to stop the behavior?) I figure who could work the best with the nearby neighbors might be someone who’s socially aggressive & somewhat conscience-impaired. Despite what might be certain behaviors they have, my neighbors seem to know about being seen in a good light & are more than capable of being nice. Me, I’m not always at my best behavior;
-(Pharoah-? Sugar-?) Ant- & Spider-Infestation: At Unit #265, I haven’t seen bedbugs, cockroaches or rodents (which I consider worse than ants or spiders.) My most recent tactic, which so far seems to have had little overall success, was to create (Paper Cup) Ant Repeller-Stations that contain about 3TBSP of Unused Coffee Grounds. (Is it true that the smell of Coffee repels (Pharoah- or Sugar-) Ants?) The Ants keep coming & are populous!
But I think advantages at #265 include:
-The Motel-Apartment is warm, dry & comfortable;
-The other Guests tend to be extremely quiet, considerate & friendly, especially when you meet them outside :)
-The Motel-Apartment has a lot of natural light, & the Floors, all Hard-Surfaces, are easy to clean;
-The Managers have let me fix things, are easy to work with, are good at fixing things & appear to be talented Gardeners, who’ve permitted me to enjoy Produce from small Gardens they tend (located near the Motel-Office.)
(You might want to volunteer (eg, to water the veggies or do some weeding during the summertime) when Mr. & Mrs. Basi may want some down-time. You might find that your efforts pay off handsomely (eg, you could obtain some fresh, healthy Produce!))
Furthermore, IDK for certain if pets are allowed. But I’ve seen what appears to be well-behaved pets at the property.
Examples of who I’d do (FT, LT, temporary, occasional) Contracts with are 18+ individuals, Billets, Evacuees & Refugees. In cases of Emergencies only, I can accommodate extra bodies for brief stays. I can foster small animals.
A strong mind & ego, & being helpful & tidy, are assets. If you can cooperate w/others, no matter who (or you want to try,) then you’re already welcome. Who I won’t work with are people aged 18+ who have unresolved emotional or psychological-probs, or other issues around behavior that they haven’t tried facing.
Please keep the following in mind:
-I’ll likely take measures to protect myself, such as taking pictures of you & your ID, DL, Vehicle License Plate, Criminal Background Check & Psychological Evaluation (or a credible attestation (“affidavit?”) that you’re of good character & of what you plan to do while you live as my Roommate.) You’ll have the same from me;
-It’s an asset (but not mandatory) if you’ve been content to prepare food simply by heating it up on a Stove-Element or by adding hot water to it. (As much as possible, I’d like to keep the Motel-Apartment & the Appliances clean & free of (eg, spills or stains;))
-The Unit has: 1 Bedroom (w/a Door that has Locking-Hardware,) 1 Bathroom (w/Shower & Bathtub) that we’d share, 1 Open-Area w/a combined Kitchen/Living-Room & a Sundeck that, to me, seems to have been built with compromised structural soundness & might be unsafe for people to be on;
-The Motel-Apartment might be somewhat full of my belongings;
-If you want the Bedroom, I’ll sleep in the Open-Area: Could you please bring your own Bed?
-It seems it’s possible for more than 1 person at a time, while inside the Motel-Apartment, to use the complimentary Wi Fi-service;
-There are coin-operated Laundry-Appliances at the Star Lodge (or you could do your Laundry & Dry-Cleaning (more expensively) at a “McCleaners-” outlet on Summit Drive.)
A. House-Rules:
- Signatures are binding;
- All do Due Diligence at the outset: Speak up/ask questions;
- If a Contract’s been signed & a prob arises, everyone gets Due Process;
- Presumption of Innocence=#1;
- “Experts know best,” rather than, “[in] Canada, it’s what your neighbours think.” (Did a man at Rosewood Court make this remark (’22?) If so, the CA Mortgage & Housing Corp seemed to dispute the remark in archived “Sample Letter #6;”))
- MYOB unless you sense that something might be illegal or harmful;
- “If you see something, say something” (Allen Kay, Advertising Executive (NY, ’01;))
- “CA Quiet Hours” apply.
Thank you!
