48 hours is the maximum time I can tolerate, as far as my own family is concerned. In some cases, 24 hours is too much, too (family).

Invited guest company, party of one, is however a whole other different story. Depending on the situation, length of stay is negotiated beforehand.

Living on my own, and having my own space, is precious. I expect this to be true for any like minded person who values their own space, in like minded ways.

You're close but haven't hit the nail on the head exactly. Being close doesn't count.

"Forewarned is forearmed."..........

Being warned or told about something ahead of time, leads one to be able to be prepared when the shit hits the fan!

"Fretting cares make grey hairs"............

Worrying is a negative activity that can age you prematurely.

Green leaves and brown leaves fall from the same tree...

Everyone has a common beginning, and therefore, no one is above another.

I also have heard this used in conjunction with both good and bad things falling into one's lap from the same source.

As per my posts in previous threads, I do NOT enjoy company that stays with me, I'd much prefer it that they stay at a hotel and then I don't care how long they stay.

I think one secret to have a successful visit is for both parties to be off work! It's hard to entertain someone when you've got to get up early and head into work!

He is rich who owes nothing.....

A person who owes no one a debt is free of worry, and therefore, rich, in a sense.

Robbing Peter to pay Paul..........

"Spare the rod and spoil the child'..............

A child who is not punished and showed the error of his ways will become unruly.

"To err is human, to forgive divine"..........

It is only normal for someone to make mistakes and do wrong, but for one to forgive another for his wrong is indeed a great and gracious act.

Aside from the aspect of Deity, I basically believe this with all my heart. We were born with a brain to use (much better than any man made computer on earth) and we've got our own intelligence which is individually unique.

Thanks for your post about this, homoe.

Two's company, three's a crowd...

Fun while there are only two people whereas the third person is an unwelcome intrusion.

Many may differ with this however.....

Truth is stranger than fiction.......

Real life can be more incredible than anything which can be imagined.
