        I have read various comments about the advantages
and  disadvantages  of living alone. I have lived alone in a
small house for five years, and am about to move into a
house with four other adults (two men and two women).  I am
doing this to save money and because I am tired of living
alone.  I used to be easy going, and as far as I know, I still
am.

        Does anyone have  suggestions  about precedents to
set? I  remember  reading a paper by a senior fellow at IBM
Research in San Jose describing a fair algorithm for running
a carpool when not everyone rides/drives when they are sup-
posed to. Does anyone have success with such a plan for
cooking/ buying  meals?  That is, how can we spend close to
appropriate amounts of time/money without expecting everyone
to bend over backward to be fair?

        Also, any hints about living in the same house  with
four other adults?
