Lesbian butch & fem. couple seeks roommates for 2 rooms (santa rosa) $600

Hi we are a lesbian married couple in our 40’s; we have known each other 18 years. Ryan was a welder for 14 years and has a degree in computer science; she also helped build the 1st MRI and has owned custom bikes and vans. Michelle (that’s me) is an award winning author of a nationally distributed book, has owned a couple of business, and has worked as a nanny for a Microsoft VP. You can find us each year ridding with the dykes on bikes at SF gay pride. We support Obama for president, but if you support McCain you are still welcome here. We are not very politically correct. We eat meat; we don’t mind if you don’t, we swear on occasion, we do not own a single pair of berconstocks. We are nice, but poor hard working business owners. Our day starts as early as 5:30AM and can end as late as 2:00AM yes; we often function on only a few hours sleep. We work hard, play hard, and live a fast moving life. We sit in our living room once a year, so a roommate will have the living room to them selves. We own 3 businesses. One is a process serving business so we hand out restraining orders collection papers, divorce documents and post eviction and foreclosure documents. Some days we are dealing with drug dealers, running from dogs, or telling a family with 4 kids they have to be out of their home in 3 days. We are not heartless some of this work is emotionally painful. We try to do our job with compassion. The work has crazy hours, we can sit down to eat and then get a call that someone we are trying to catch has showed up and we are out of the house in less than 2 min. But the work lets us get paid to ride the bike along the California coastline and in the redwoods and wine country. Our work is not for wimps. If you are our roommate life around here is never boring. We also have manufacturing equipment in the garage we run. We work 7 days a week, 362 days a year. (We take Gay Pride, Christmas and Thanksgiving off) Our home is located in Santa Rosa. It is 45 min North of San Francisco over the Golden Gate Bridge up the 101hwy. The house is 3 min to a freeway entrance but we do not hear the freeway. (We occasionally hear the neighbor’s chickens.) It takes 45 min to get to the ocean, less than an hour to the redwoods, although there are many nice wineries in this county we are less than an hour from Napa County. Here is the website of a local photographer who work shows off the beauty of the area for anyone not from around here. http://www.robertjanover.com/index.html The room we have to rent is in a 3 bedroom 2 bath in a ranch style house. We have the master bedroom and attached master bath. We have two rooms for rent, one is larger and has TV hook up; the other is smaller and has no TV hooked up. There is a separate bath that would be shared between the occupants of the two rooms. It has a shower and tub. The house has a large fenced front and back yard. There are roses, and trees including a pear, apple and two plums tree. We have a large wood swing, and a large new BBQ. There is a covered back porch with a picnic table, and a hot tub. (We run the hot tub only part of the year because of the electric bill, if the new roommates want us to run it more we would be open to that with help to pay the added expense) The house sits at the end of a dead end street that feels like a country lane. On a typical day you may look out the window and see the Russian nuns out walking in their black traditional clothes complete with head coverings and the next door neighbor walking his sheep on a leash. The neighbor across the street plays in a band and sometimes in the summer we get a free concert, they are very good and not to loud. Despite the fact the neighborhood feels like you stepped into the 1950, it is about 6 or 8 blocks to all the modern shops Costco, Target, Best Buy and other stores. At the end of the lane is a small corner store and deli if you need a good sandwich or some ribs. The surrounding neighborhood is working class income many people in the area hold jobs in the automotive or building trades. There are also many retired people who have lived here for many years. We live in a ethnically diverse area by choice. About pets, we have a dog named Calvin. He is a Doberman, he weighs about 100lbs. He is a working dog we take him with us when we serve in the car. He looks scary but he is really a big baby. He follows one of us around when we are home and when we are not home he usually naps in our bedroom. He is friendly, well behaved, he knows many tricks. We also have two cats; they are about 12 years old. One is very shy, one is very playful. They are mostly outdoors; they come in at night when it is cold. We can not have more pets. About drugs, alcohol, and smoking. We are not 420 friendly, not that we have a moral opposition, but we work with police and the courts and we are not willing to put our business and security at risk. At a BBQ or after mowing the lawn Ryan might have a beer but, just 1 and only 3 or 4 times a year total. Michelle does not drink at all. We do not care if people want to smoke outside. But you must keep the butts in the ashtray and empty it regularly. We do not have time to clean up after someone’s mess. We have no time for roommates who have drama filled lives. We would love a roommate who likes to cook, but if you don’t that’s ok as long as you understand we never have time to cook a meal so if you are counting on us you could starve to death. A roommate that is tidy by nature and is willing to take out the trash if they see it is overflowing is a good thing. We would like someone who would put their dirty dish in the dishwasher, or pitch in and unload it if it is full. I love to clean the house, but have limited time. So if you hate to dust or vacuum or mop but you are willing to help keep things picked up until I go on one of my deep cleaning fits that would work for us. If you do love to clean then please don’t let us stop you. About the money, the rent is 600 a month, and that includes water, electric, satellite TV, and wireless internet access. There is a phone line in the large room that has TV and we currently pay for the basic phone line. If you need long distance we need you to pay the added cost. The second room in the house has no TV and and has honey pine walls it would make a good office both rooms could be rented together for 1,100. If someone wants to rent the 1st room then our intention is to find the 1st roommate and then have all of us pick the 2nd roommate for the last room together. Our last roommates were a mother daughter combination. We would like to encourage other dykes who ride to apply but we have also enjoyed strait roommates including roommates in their 60’s. I hope I have not scared off our future roommate with this description, we really are fun, and we love a good laugh. We do not discriminate based on age, sex, religion, family configuration, sexual orientation, or disability. So if you think you would like to be part of our crazy house hold drop me an email and tell me a little about yourself I will send you some photos of the house. MROURLIAN@sbcglobal.net I look forward to you email, Michelle
