Today’s Column: February 15, 2023

Tough Talk,

I have plenty of friends and family and my husband and I have always been generous and welcoming to our home.  It’s amazing all the people and folks who need a place to stay when they are in the area.  I don’t want to be inhospitable, but several guests lately have taken advantage and have left the guest room in really gross and disgusting conditions.  We want to be inviting and welcoming to those friends and family who are visiting and away from home.  But our place shouldn’t be used as a pitstop and bingehole.  What do you think we should do TT?  (Argyle, Tennessee)

Argyle,

You should now demand some type of deposit, whether money, clothing or their transportation.  They will not have this returned unless you are entirely satisfied with the condition of the premises.  If they don’t like it, tell them to go to local motel or homeless shelter.  Who put it in your squirrel-like mind that you’re obligated to run a staging ground for losers and squids?  Pull your head up from out of your corn hole!
