Never take rides from stangers

[shirl]

Thank you everyone for your response. Let me explain: I went on line to WACCO and noticed a person asking for a ride to Portland, Oregon. That frightened me because that man sexually assaulted me one evening while I was sleeping. He was my landlord. I was renting a small unit from him separate from his house but on the same property. He used his key and came in my room. This occurred in late October 2006. I went to the hospital and a police report was done and the investigation is still pending. I cannot mention his name. He told the police that it was consensual. I knew this man for 13 years and in all that time we never had anything more that a platonic friendship.

Just so we are clear here folks: There has been more than one male person asking/offering rides to Portland Oregon, including myself. However, I am NOT the person to whom 'shirl' refers. A little due diligence perusing the 'Rides' category will reveal that person's identity, unless it has been removed, as well as my posting from a month ago on that same subject.
In truth and clarity,
