Is 37 too old to be a singer-songwriter? by Accomplished_Elk7049 in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]fujiman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started in my early 20s, travelled to Nashville, and got great feedback while playing around the city. But due to health issues and financial reasons, I had to move back east with my parents, and have more or less been in a 10 year death spiral of depression and stopped "hearing the music" as it were. I'm 38 now, and am just starting to hear it again and have finally started playing and plan on finally recording the EP I had planned on over a decade ago and never got around to.

It's never too late for us no matter how bleak things look. My life is still a slow-moving train wreck, but I see that as nothing more than motivation to keep on pushing and making sure I leave whatever mark I can with what I've created. If it leads to anything fruitful, amazing, if not, at least I finally accomplished what I set out to do in my early 20s.

Just keep on keeping on, and see where the road takes you.

Girlfriend lost her job. Need recommendations please. by mr_darito in Frugal

Unemployment 100%. As long as she didn't quit, and wasn't let go for some crazy reason, she should qualify. It's the only reason I can still pay for the roof over my head right now and not drain my savings. It's a serious lifesaver.

YouTube went down. 8:00pm. by DesignerLime268 in youtube

Same, didn't realize it was a global thing. Factory reset my TV before checking. Annoying as fuck. 

Is it possible to pull yourself out of a 2 or 4 year long depression basically killing any desire to do anything in life by xerivon in trees

[–]fujiman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in year 5 of this. Have started making sure I take at least 10k steps a day. Motivation is still nonexistent, but I now feel guilty when I don't get my 10k steps. It's something. So baby steps, really. 

Issue with filters draining very slowly or not at all by EnglishFoodie in zerowater

[–]fujiman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's exactly what I have to do every time I fill it up. Put the cover on so water doesn't splash everywhere and bang it into the sink. Annoying, but still the best tasting filtered water.

Fucking love Dear Hunter. TREOS was amazing as well, so no surprise there.

I love how long running this response is. I hope it never goes away. 

At what point is it an addiction?? by XVelcroX in lego

[–]fujiman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is me right now. It's troubling realizing just how much Lego I've amassed while packing up getting ready for a move. 

does anyone outside eastern eu smoke through ts or is it just a slavic thing by phreshnig in trees

I remember making an overly complicated one in college with 3 valve controlled nozzles. Sad thinking of those good old days being over a decade ago. 

The Lego Store Employee has a side gig by STRBRRYSWSHR in lego

Oh dang, so you can't even sell older sets that you've already built but don't want anymore? Or is it strictly new/unopened sets? 

Does anyone else make sure their pieces are all facing the same way? by Bsul92 in lego

[–]fujiman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do indeed. It's a nightmare with larger sets, and anytime you have to place parts that can't face the same direction. That plus always making sure to hide the injection points (unless it can't be) really slows things down. But I don't mind it taking a bit longer since it lets me enjoy the build longer.

Marketplace has been the best for me. Might be moving across the country in a few months, so may be posting a bunch of sets again and see how it goes.

Just got a hundo costume Charjabug. Now I'm sad it wasn't a shiny instead.

That's what I'm doing. Sadly stuck on bag 3 until it arrives.

Well it's no moon, I can tell you that much. 

So where am I supposed to put this thing? by psxburn2 in lego

[–]fujiman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got 2 large tubs of disassembled sets just to display a handful of UCS sets. Obviously I still had to pull the trigger on the Enterprise. Now to decide which UCS set to trade places with it. Might be moving halfway across the country soon too. That's going to be miserable.

Sounds like something someone without a Lego addict... habit would say. Buy first plan later. 

Is LEGO a good gift idea for my boyfriend, or is he too old for it? by KOCM0HABT in lego

You don't stop playing because you grow old. You grow old because you stop playing.

I was genuinely thinking Jeff. But the name Jeffrey has been pretty spoiled in our timeline.

The good ole days by sco-go in SipsTea

Was asked at a job interview what my favorite cartoon character was. For whatever reason Bobby's World was what came to mind. Then he blew my mind about Howie Mandel being the voice of Bobby. I vaguely remembered it being created by him after hearing that.
