HI Marvin.... In this one particular case, "mobile" would mean the individual(s) would hafta be able to get themselves upstairs as there's no elevator in my home - just stairs (which is why I mentioned it's a 2 story townhouse in my original ad - bedrooms are upstairs. It also means that each of the three persons living in the home (myself included) can provide their own transportation, be it car, taxi, or public transportation, or "other." Certainly, in a medical emergency I'd hope we'd be there for each other, providing or arranging transportation to an ER or other appropriate medical facility. Other than that, Marvin, I haven't defined or otherwise written any "rules" for this type of PWP communal living because it I believe it'd be up to the two or three (as the case may be) of us to sit down together, discuss our needs and expectations - basically to spell out what we cna and cannot live with - just as I've always done over the many years I've had room mates living in my home.
