    :-(

    when i roam around,
    and query folks,
    seek info,
    i ALL-ways '.consider the source.',
    when evaluating info/guidance/etc.

    the '.source's.' motivations are important, too

    nevertheless,
    in this house-rental instance,
    the house/area was described as '.lonely.' by SEVERAL folks,
    ...folks who's judgement & feedback i give great-weight

    at the time (about 5+ years ago),
    and NOW,
    i knew/KNOW i'm NOT-ready for that house/location

    an aside:>> about Jamaican use of language::::>> if dem-SAY::>> '..it lonely..', that's one thing.... IF dem-SAY::>> '..it's TOO-lonely..", then that takes it up a notch ----more-lonely .... if dem-SAY:::>> "..it's lonely-lonely.." (i.e., that's 2-lonely-s), then it's really-really isolated.

    :-(

    this place was '.too-lonely.'

    all the-folks who told me about the place,
    paused a few-seconds,
    before they answer-ed me

    you could *hear* the wheels churn-ing in dem heads/brains

    i could tell they were looking out for my welfare,
    but wouldn't/couldn't go into a lot of details,
    so they just said:::>> "...it's too lonely.."

    the ball was placed in my court
    ...'twas my decision

    mi no idiot
    i don't need to be beaten over the head
    i GOT the message

    i passed-up on the *opportunity*,
    even though the price was VERY-VERY attractive

    * sigh *

    so it go

    .
    .
    oh
    oh
    oh:::>> somewhere(?) on the board,
    a boardie asked about someplace(?),
    and was advised to reconsider their choice

    mi-SAY:::>> '.ditto.'

    i know nutin' about the location/place/neighborhood/etc.,
    but *reading-between-the-lines*,
    mi-gut-SAY:::>> "..BOOK else-where.."

    argument DONE
