We team up with MFI's and other lending institutions to train their borrowers on basic finance and leadership. The goal is to help them grow their businesses and thus improving the local and national economies as well as helping them improve their lives! I love it! I've been here for 2 1/2 years. <br /><br />I live in a nice company house, so we have a guest room here waiting for you.

I've had nothing but weird and frustrating experiences with essential oils people booking my Airbnb. In June, the woman cancelled her stay two days before check in. Last week, the woman that booked it wanted to cancel, but wanted me to refund her money (I have a strict cancellation policy). I said no, but that if she found someone to book in her place that we'd refund 50%. She found someone, they didn't end up booking. She then have the gall to ask for 50% if anyone else at all booked it (that she didn't find herself). I hate essential oils people. And now I already have both conventions booked for next year. BOTH. Apparently there are competing brands (cults) and each has a convention. They are THE WORST!!

So the general idea with airbnb is that the host opens up a room of their house for someone to stay in. But that's kind of where the similarities stop between a traditional b&b and airbnb. I would be surprised if an airbnb host ACTUALLY treated you like a paying guest and made breakfast for you.Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11595060795879847843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964698794691718038.post-13484268632068564172017-09-08T07:48:15.316-06:002017-09-08T07:48:15.316-06:00On the train with this crowd and I feel your pain ...On the train with this crowd and I feel your pain to a much smaller degree.

Just as well, I'd probably faint.<br /><br />Fainting aside, Eli, the invitation is mutual. There's a guest bedroom with an attached bathroom reserved for you in a house in Gabon if you ever get a hankering for traveling to Africa in the next two years. Beats couch surfing at least. There are enough twin beds for you to bring two friends. Duncan is welcome. My family of six is too large for your basement, but I might reserve it for a night or two the next time I'm in Utah just to get to visit and meet Duncan.mimihalleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05596098434801690649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964698794691718038.post-80214078598277478462017-09-07T20:26:44.600-06:002017-09-07T20:26:44.600-06:00I use peppermint oil for my headaches because it&#...I use peppermint oil for my headaches because it's the only thing that helps. However, I try not to use it when other people are around because it can be very strong.
