I really wish that the two roommates who have all Summer off cleaned the house at least loving once. I shouldn't be cleaning your drat beer cans off the table every day after work when you have jack poo poo going on. The three months I was unemployed I literally cleaned the entire first floor every single day. Not asking for that but c'mon man at least run the dishwasher. The dishwasher door is loving open and it is stacked with dirty dishes and now there are no clean plates.

If you continue to clean up after them they'll never change. The only solution is to have your own place. Sorry.

The only way I'll be able to afford my own place within the next decade is if I squat in an abandoned buiding. And it is pretty hard for me NOT to clean up their poo poo when there are fruit flies EVERYWHERE. Does anyone else love their parents but dislike spending time with them? I get along with them better than ever but I just stopped by for 30 minutes and the entire ride there and now I have some crazy anxiety going on and I want to throw up. For no reason at all. I think I subconciously think I am a disapointment to them or something. I can't explain it. I just get so worked up visiting them for no reason and I am starting to feel guilty about it. Like I live 10 minutes from them and have only seen them once in the past 30 days. Sigh.

Living with my parent's was rough on my mental health for a whole host of reasons but visits are usually fine and if anything happens it just serves a reminder of why I moved out into a way worse area of town in the first place. Something close to 100% of advice my mom gave me in life or times I got into poo poo was based around her being able to brag to her coworkers about me so I know how you feel on the disappointment front, best I can say is at a certain point you have to say any disappointment they have is a reflection on their life choices and not yours.

I would drop everything in a heart beat to help them and they would as well. I feel like such a piece of poo poo son right now. My mom was going out with her friend and my dad thought I stopped by for dinner with him and I could tell he was sad when I said no and left 30 minutes later. Jesus Christ I am depressed now. Time for a few beers. Sorry for the rant.

Yeah. I had a pretty bad breakdown when I dropped outta college and moved back in with them. I am starting to feel the same way again and it is worrying me. I don't wanna do anything except stay in my room alone and be by myself. I am afraid I am going to reach a point where I will be better off taking my meds again rather than working this job. God I wish I could do both. Guess it is time to sack up and meet a therapist or something.

I need a new fridge and the maximum width is 36". current fridge is 35.5" and just *barely* fits. But here I am, trying to rationalize getting a 35.75" and hoping it works out OK.

I can't take any narcotic meds because I need a DOT card for work. Which is bullshit because my work vehicle ks way under the DOT weight limit. It is just a work policy that everyone has to have a DOT card. I do work with a guy with back problems and a Vicodin script. He just didn't tell the DOT doctor about it and used fake piss to pass the test instead.

Lmao so I thought the AC compressor went out in the MR2 but I go and look at it and the belt's loose. It's only the harmonic balancer, the compressor, and a tensioner. Also the harmonic balancer pulley for the AC compressor (but not for all the other accessories) has about an inch or two of axial play when I rev the motor. It legit reminds me of a starter gear clutch.

Is having a kid part of "somebody (else's) dream"? It's normal to feel some anxiety before the baby arrives but you'll find that your relationship will change quite a bit once the baby arrives, for better or worse. But you might also find it realign to what you want, as long as having the baby is part of what you want.

My wife and I had a little bit of a discussion about it last night, and we understand each other. I think you have to figure out priorities and communicate early and often. Speaking of my wife, she's been in New York for the past couple of weeks, doing a rotation at another medical school. We spent the better part of an hour on the phone last night going over her grand rounds presentation, and she texted me this morning to let me know it went very well! People are impressed with her, and by all accounts she's exceeding expectations. I couldn't be more proud of her.

I think questioning whether you married the right person is common, especially in the early years of the marriage. Also big life changes tend to put stress on the relationship that prime that question. Sounds completely normal to me

If you don't need a DOT card to drive the vehicle, and you cannot get one due to a medical conditon but can drive the car safely and legally, not requiring you to have one seems like a reasonable accomodation. I am, however, not an employment or ada lawyer, so talk to one. ADA comes with ways to recover attorneys fees, so I believe many will do a free consult.

Same, except instead of dating other people she went to Costa Rica for a semester and I stayed at home and took care of the kids with the help of my brother in law. We just celebrated our 11 year anniversary this past May. I showed up at LAX to pick her up from her semester off and asked if she was on board or not, the rest is history. Working with human trafficking victims has a way of putting ones life in perspective. Also, I was the only person she had ever dated, so I could see it from her perspective since I previously had a close to fiance.

The Honda dealership was gonna charge my buddy $1,460 for a brake-and-rotor job which to me sounded insane for an 8 year-old car. Those stupid rotor retention screws were all stripped out and I tried drilling them but it didn't work. Luckily the rotors are in decent shape so they didn't need to be replaced, but I'm curious what can be done to get those things outta there. Probably a stupid move on my part, trying to drill them out.

Sharp bits and drilling at the right speed makes all the difference in the world.
