This is a RIDICULOUS complaint made four years ago!! I think in 2022 everyone who posts anything on SOCIAL MEIDA of any sort is putting what ever out for PUBLIC scrutiny. Nothing done on the internet will be private forever NOTING. Everything can be hacked!! Privacy is not a thing any longer and if you think you care about your privacy you for sure would not be on any social media and I don't even think you would own a cell phone. That was the trade off when the world chose all the 'in the cloud' communication. You are leaving a digital footprint that will out live you and your grand children, just sayin.

I've only sold one thing on market place. That was a car and it went off with no problems. I've heard there are a few of scams going on with any of the sell/buy sites. I had one lady that was leary of me when I wanted to purchase her 2 matching 1950s twin headboards for a bedroom set i already had. I've been looking and these headboards were a perfect match. She lived an hour away in the next state and I had to convince her that i was legit. It was nice weather and a beautiful day for a drive anyway. A few years back there was this lady on local FB groups that would cry poverty wanting kids items posted for sale for free or way below asking. Stating her little kids really wanted the item and gave a big sob story. She didn't even live close to the area. If you didn't budge on the price she would set up a pick up date and time then ghost you, just because she was a jerk. The items were never intended for her kids. She had an ongoing garage sale every weekend selling the items she got for free or cheap. She was called out and was banded from the local groups.

What really struck me was the warmth of the first with color and fabric and softness and a more human proportion and cozy feel given the shape of the room. The other feels, yes refrigerator! It feels cold to me. I think I'd have to wear a sweater even on a summer's day. The noise and echoing would be awful, especially if you have quite a few people in there doing things...clattering dishes, cooking, watching TV, talking, etc. And physically colder trying to heat the volume in that space would be difficult. And as far as luxury, the former has it for me far more so than the latter. We have "open concept" in our kitchen/breakfast nook/family room area...though it's not a large space. It's large enough for entertaining as everyone hangs out in the kitchen anyway and this way there's room for everyone. It's cozy enough for just the 2 of us. Even at that it can get noisy when one is doing dishes or cooking and one is watching tv. DH uses wireless headphones in the a.m. so I don't have to listen to his station. It definitely is a shared space. We have lots of other "away" spaces in the house which we also make use of frequently. I'm not sure I could live with having the bulk of my home completely open though. Once rooms reach a certain proportion, they feel more public than private..

This reminds me, I got a friend request a couple of months ago from a man I don't know. I looked at his profile, mostly selfies (smh) and he lives in LA. Just for kicks and giggles I accepted his request. He immediately started mssging me, the first thing he said is "I like your name." I thanked him and said it is........ (I don't use my real name). Then he asked where I'm from I said Ont. Cda and he said, No where you are now. Again I told him. Couple messages back and forth and I asked why he asked for a friend request, was he just throwing s*t at the wall to see what sticks? Anyway that was the end of that. LOL Also, another guy friended me and got mad when he found out I don't use my real name. Called me a liar and all kinds of beauties. I know lots of hilarious names of people on FB, it's hardly the CRA or IRS. Who cares. Chris P Bacon is a friend (Love that one), Clem Cladillahopper. Remember that name? The list goes on.
