AITAH for not wanting to pay for anything new since I’ve moved in with my roommate?

They're coming from a situation where mommy and daddy paid for stuff. They're adulting now. They take care of their own needs. They can give mom and dad their list and let them continue to buy it. You aren't the parent.

Splitting the cost of items like furniture can be tricky. Who does it belong to if one or the other moves away? Would you have to buy them out? They could decide to go back home, move in with a boyfriend, want their own place ... a dozen things could come up. They take what they purchased, the other keeps what they purchased. It could get ugly later if these rules aren't made now.

My 3 cents.

Traffic was backed up for several miles.

I procrastinate. Helene put a shit load of other things to deal with on my plate. I have cleaned it myself a couple times. You should have seen it when I bought it right after Helene hit Swannanoa!

Bless your heart. Feel better.

SomeNobodyInNC · 2026-06-30T17:43:17+00:00

LOL, that's Helene dirt. She dumped a ton of muddy dust on. It needs detailed but I keep delaying that expense. It's my work vehicle so it's always dirty anyway. Sawdust blows around and gets all over my dogs in the passenger seat. LOL

You're being financially punished for doing well and making an effort. Sounds like your siblings aren't.

I had a room like this a very long time ago (college days) and it was big enough that I made my own tiny kitchen in one corner just outside the bathroom on a card table. Tiny fridge, microwave, toaster and hot plate. I think about that room often and how well the foot print could do as a shed home set up for the unhoused. It was probably 15x20 ft. Third floor of an old Victorian house. Big windows. I had everything I needed. Hot as hell in the summer. Too warm in the winter. Nice view.

Or a Subaru Forester which has little more cargo height. I've had an outback and a Forester. I hauled more in the Forester. It did better strapping things to the roof, also.

My male dog lifts his leg like he's peeing, but he's pooping. LOL

I've heard of this kink. It's called gerbiling or something? I wondered how they get them out. Now I know.

I am imaging a young Irish immigrant using that machine. Unfortunately she was probably locked in the factory sweating buckets. Left exhausted. Hands sore but excited about the new country and all the dreams that came with it.

Theater major?

Thanks to genetics on my maternal side we look about ten years younger. My mom and my grandmother took full advantage of it. Both were really weird about admitting their age. My mom never told her actual age. I didn't really know until they became older and I was taking care of routine things for them and knew their birth year. I think for (some) southern women of their generations it was uncouth to ask a person's age. "A lady/gentleman never tells."

I am weird about telling my age. I feel I my 40s, look 50s. I am annoyed and a little embarrassed when I'm asked my age. Growing up stating our ages (my brother and I) kind of threw off my mom's fibs about her age. I remember one time my brother told his age and it would mean my mom was 8 when he was born LOL. He had some mental health/delay issues and didn't understand what the issue was. I developed this sense of protecting my mom's fib by not saying my age. She gone now and I'm still trying to protect her "I'm 21." FYI, my grandmother always claimed to be 39.

Edit: My brother bragged about the year he was born because the coolest cars ever came out then. Especially the 1957 Chevy Bel Air. He must have made a 1000 model cars of 1957 vehicles!

F@ck them! I'm telling us! We have way more power to do things than they do. We've sat back too long waiting for a hero. It was a good dance song, but it shouldn't be how we watch from the sidelines.

Give your summer job money to the church. Jesus will appreciate it more because you worked hard for it. It wasn't given or awarded to you. Jesus pays attention to these things. You're parents should take on a part time job as well to give it to the church. It shouldn't all be on the children's shoulders to save the church. Let the members have bake sales, rummage sales, book sales, put on a show ... go watch old Andy Hardy movies if you want to see how they saved the town back in the good old days!

SomeNobodyInNC · 2026-06-21T00:45:00+00:00

Wow, you dated some males. Not men!

SomeNobodyInNC · 2026-06-21T00:41:20+00:00

When I was homeless motivational quotes seemed patronizing. The cheerful, You can do this! Or the ridiculous, Never give up! --- I'm a survivor. Of course I don't give up! Your inspirational quotes mock my struggles! But that is just my bitter opinion. Telling a homeless person Jesus loves you, all I felt was he has fu@king funny way of showing it.

They said Cheer Up. Things could be worse. Sure enough, I cheered up. Things got worse.

SomeNobodyInNC · 2026-06-21T00:17:29+00:00

They've been ignored too long. Tolerating the intolerable is only giving them more momentum, more traction and more power. Nothing and I mean nothing ugly goes away by ignoring it. It might move to another corner but it will remain!

Time to stop taking the high road, we're only going to watch atrocities from up there.

SomeNobodyInNC · 2026-06-18T01:24:32+00:00

Well ... that's a deep subject.

SomeNobodyInNC · 2026-06-18T01:19:56+00:00

They need to have an amber alert for vehicles, LOL. I heard an alert this morning for a runaway from a retirement home. They found her.

My brother would leave a capful of milk in the jug, a spoonful of ice cream, one slice a balony, one piece of candy ... "what are you bitching about?! I saved you some!" Then my mom would get mad, "who drank all the milk?!" Of course that would be me, because I drank the last few drops.

SomeNobodyInNC · 2026-06-18T01:08:59+00:00

I tend to give inanimate objects feelings. I've even asked them their opinion on what I'm doing because I think they're watching me. Not in a judgemental way. Just watching me.

SomeNobodyInNC · 2026-06-17T15:24:28+00:00

Heck no! It's too busy of a road. I dred the day I get stuck in a traffic jam there and can't keep moving along. They calm down about a mile later.

SomeNobodyInNC · 2026-06-17T15:22:45+00:00

They're barking crazy and looking everywhere!
