The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

[Baroque]

A class that taught you how to floss? What the fuck, that seems really strange.

That was part of one day's lesson. Sure, we also had dental workers come to school in elementary and teach us how to brush and mouthwash. They don't do this anymore? Academic subjects aren't everything.. they need to bring back these classes that made kids well rounded healthy individuals. You all seriously never had to take Home Economics?

[edit] Hmm I guess not.

In 1994, “home economics” was replaced by “family and consumer science.”

I feel old.

Nope, I didn't. I had to do food technology for the first 3 years of high school and then it become optional as a GCSE. We just cooked some random things for the lesson. Visiting the dentist taught me how to take care of my teeth.

Also, you went straight from mom's house to home ownership? Interesting. Not saying there's anything wrong with this just your life has been very different from mine.

I did this. Took a bit longer than I wanted but glad I did. Would have wasted so much money over the years paying for places I never owned. My parents were pretty cool about it, just asking me to pay my specific bills and do a bit of work around the house.

When I moved out my girlfriend (now wife) moved in with me the same day. My mom had always been extremely lazy though and I had been occasionally cooking for myself and doing my laundry and whatnot since I was like 12.

I don't really like breakfast food. I'm probably strange for that. I'd rather grab a banana and protein bar or something instead of the whole sausage and eggs forever thing most Americans do.

Idk this is a bit mind boggling.

Why? When there's a plethora of frozen food that exists, it isn't that hard to understand

That's my goal too. Depending on the housing market by the time I graduate and where the jobs are, I may not be able to afford it, but all this saved stipend money should hopefully be enough for a nice down payment. Living at home is awesome, same deal, I do some chores and I can do my own laundry and shit, not 100% manchild, but still free rent and free homecooked food.

Just took five shots of gin and drank a beer. Hasn't quite hit me yet. Weird shit happens when you do all that in sub 10 minutes.

I actually paid rent for the few months I was at home before I bought my house

Eating nothing but frozen food is no way to live.

Maybe not, but that's how a lot of people live. I'm trying to turn around and cook more. I actually enjoy it.

I help with bills because my mom is retired. My siblings and I all pitch in, and the house is basically ours which is nice. It's annoying when shit breaks down though. We eventually gotta fix some parts of the roof and this is the part of adulthood i just cant be bothered with. Not even sure who the hell to call to fix the roof. Guess I'll cross that bridge in the next month or so.

 

[Jimmy... Dead.]

Oh come on, you have the damn internet! imagine dealing with shit 30 years ago

 

[Funerary_Doom]

that's just dread and procrastination talking. It'll get done... i mean its either that or having the roof cave in.

I have the same setup except an out of control alcoholic mother who likes to fuck with me all the time.

yea yea I do that all the time. I get so anxious when doing research for something that's important. Kinda like looking for a job and sending out resumes, it's an awful feeling

 

[Funerary_Doom]

Ha. Pretty spot on. None of those things are definitely not fun things to do. There's some philosophical connection somewhere there but I've been drinking.

Do you need to redo the whole thing?

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Lol, Ozz, you are like 35 and were still living with your parents until recently?

 

[CiG]

Just got done watching 2001: A Space Odyssey and now I'm cooking dinner, sausage curry with carrots and potato, and watching some Starsky & Hutch.

Had a pretty good day even with the news of so many people being killed in America putting a rather depressing mark on it, glad to find out the gay friends I have in Florida are fine but some of their own friends were involved in the shooting.

Also most recently I'm convinced that the new Hammers Of Misfortune album is going to be a gem.

Go read that post again. My former roommate moved north so I had to move home for 4 months while I looked for a house. I had been living on my own since 2009 before that time and I'm 32.
