Bob formerly of the Cheeseboard, Chez Panisse, caterer and an Oncology RN, wants to know???? How do you hang your TP?
An opening in my Bonita street home starting May 1 providing a sweet standard sized bedroom in the middle of the 2nd floor between my street side BR and Molly's rear BR. Join Tessa, 40, working both from home and out there as a web designer (besides her running marathons and in the Oakland Beer Runners Club and singing in karaoke joints) is ensconced in the attic suite and doesn't care for spiders and bats! And Molly our newest addition who has a degree in Park Management and just moved in after sking up in Tahoe.
I shop a lot and buy food and house supplies Costco etc for us and like to cook for us with meat/fish and carbs and vegtables that works best for OMNIVORES. (Private stashes of fetish food (ice cream, jellies etc, of course ok too) I am of the (formerly alive) Anthony Bourdain model of consumption (In N Out, taco trucks, Top Dog, Pho Au Sen, Casa Orinda, as well as Chez Panisse and Costco Spit Roasted Chickens) and the food I make for us irregularly is Not Totally Organic . If you have very serious strict dietary needs (vegan etc or peanut allergies etc.) you probably will not feel okay with our food choices and about sharing expenses. But if you are loosey goosey and too busy or disinclined to shop and cook and have eclectic tastes this might be a welcome place.. sort of like an old/new school boarding house for the last 50+ years! Our neighbors are friendly good old friends (30+ years) and who have my back are swell!
We share all costs (which vary but usually add between $200-300/mo.); food/house supplies, You Tube TV (60"TV with HBO Netflix etc) Sonic hi- speed internet, PGE, EBMUD. 2 bathrooms...1 with giant tub.. the other a huge shower, enormous kitchen, deck and backyard area to Garden!.
We are now looking for a WOMAN ONLY with a sense of humor and something positive to add to our trio.. Graduate Students may be ok NO Undergrads..no zealots, We are clean but not anal. You do, though, understand the virtue of Tidy Up! No 420/ETOH Addicts.. occasional partys are fine. NO DOGS. Cat ok DEPENDING on its habits (no scratching furniture or using them instead of the litterbox in YOUR room) may be ok, FIRST and LAST MONTH $ DUE ON MOVE IN ROOM OPEN NOW. (will adjust depending on move in date).
There is a possible option of moving in later than May 1 and is negotiable
BTW I'm Bob the senior citizen man homeowner
Mostly laid back and quiet house but every so often have had some great parties. Thermostat is set at 65F heat seekers will be cold! If you need referrals from former roomies I got those too!
A minimum 1 month for the end of the month notice is required and mandated by state law before moving ..that said I hope for a 2 year commitment and know that I make sure the toilet paper opens on the outside of the roll. Smoking outside.
Which way the toilet paper should roll?
First of all, you should know that there's a documented correct way to place toilet paper onto the holder -- which is in the "over" position. Seriously -- the 1891 patent for the toilet paper roll literally states that the end of the roll should be hanging off the exterior, so there's that.Apr 5, 2016
What the Direction Your Toilet Paper Hangs Says About You - Maxim

Dear potential Bobby roomie,
Where do I even start?!
Firstly, I'll say it plainly: you'll be hard pressed to find a home where you'll have more fun, find a greater sense of community, where your curiosity for life will be more piqued, and where you'll eat better.
To set the tone: I'm a (now) 36 year old female who makes wine for a living. I grew up in a small and lively house with my parents and two brothers, so I enjoy together time more than being alone. I do sometimes crave the solace of being alone in my room, reading and relaxing, and found both of these modes possible at Bob's, but still, community is the key word for Bob's house.
The first time I lived at Bob's was for a three month sublease stint in 2015. When a room in the house opened back up again in 2016 I jumped at the chance. About 6 months later another room opened up and my then boyfriend Jon moved in. We lived happily at Bob's until we were married in 2018.
During my time at Bob's I was starting my own business, and have never worked harder or longer hours. When I did put down my work, the atmosphere at Bob's house was like a radiant hearth, which was exactly what I needed and craved. And Bob is the one setting the tone for this. I'd come downstairs after work and there would be conversations happening around the kitchen island, or music playing and dancing in the living room, or a backyard dinner party. During the day I might come downstairs and wander to the deck, where my other roommates would be doing yoga, sunning themselves and reading, or making art.
And the outside world gravitates towards Bob's as well. Bonita Street is a community, and Bob and his neighbors have been friends for ages. You'll see their faces at backyard parties, watching Warrior basketball games around a living room potluck, or over the fence when you ask to pick one of their lemons. I know much of this is on hold during Covid, but it's important to note that this community is there.
Bob's character: Bob does a better job at enjoying life than almost anyone I know, of any age. I'd say his major language is through food, and through connecting with others. When I was living at Bob's I remember some Norwegian wine importers were visiting another winemaker I knew in Berkeley, and wanted to try some of the tiny production of my first vintage of wine to see if they wanted to import it. I invited them over, very much at the last minute, without any time to think about food or anything else. The Norwegians and I sat at the kitchen island as I opened my wines (I was nervous to share them). Bob picked up on what was happening and pulled some things out of the fridge and off the shelves and made us a little spread. He chatted with them about some obscure Norwegian food I can't remember, tried a little wine with us, and then left us to continue the visit. I was so incredibly thankful for this moment, and for Bob. There were countless moments like this when I lived at Bob's.
Bob will ask you questions, will feed you, will (easily) convince you to have a spontaneous midnight steak dinner party, and will always welcome your friends and community alongside his. During covid you'll have a wonderful little community inside this sweet and special (and beautiful) house of Bob's, and after covid you'll see how that community will expand.
Long story short, I give the Bonita street house and Bob two big thumbs up!
