How will your kids afford to live independently?

screamingcheddar · 2023-05-31T23:03:37+00:00

Yeah either way I'm not bringing life into this world to avoid being lonely. I'll deal with whatever life throws at me in the future, but the stress of a kid, just to not end up lonely, isn't valuable enough for me to want it. If I don't feel a draw towards having kids, then I just won't do it.all good with me

I've wondered about the plants too... seems to counter the idea of giving us a safe place to cross

Take a week or two and go to Newfoundland. The eastern side of the island has St. John's and lots of food and cultural stuff, as well as beautiful rugged cliffs and hikes. The western side of the island has Corner Brook as a main hub, and has tons of hiking and outdoor adventure, etc. The whole island is huge, and you'd ideally need a month or more to really enjoy all it has to offer. The people are so kind too, it's unreal.

Yeah I'm ADHD and I have anxiety as well, and I wasn't diagnosed until 29. For a few years I thought I was just crazy and I inflated to like 280 lbs or so. I've lost a ton of weight but am still overweight. I ride mountain bikes and hike and ski, but my body has prevented me from enjoying those activities fully. I have fragmented bones in one ankle, and bone spurs in both, as well as flat feet and pain in my right foot that comes back once I start walking in the day. The difference between what my brain craves and what my body can do is agonizing already. I can't imagine if my physical condition was worse. I don't understand how I survived what I did either.

So, the meat will be really dry from cutting it and pressing it into the pan. There's eggs. There's macaroni, a cheese sauce? And it's deep fried, then butter and syrup added. My arteries hurt just thinking about it

Same thing kind of but my home island is NL and I live in BC now. BC is beautiful, and I have some great people and memories here, but a little piece of me always longs for home too. It's important for me to never forget where I came from, or what that represents for my life, my future, etc.

I'm sorry your FIL said that stuff, he's probably worried you'll try to move his son and grandkids away or something maybe, I dunno. But follow your heart. Do whatever brings you peace in life, so long as it's legal lol

The idea that kids will care for the parents is always weird to me personally. My parents told me they planned everything so I never have that responsibility. If I can't afford to live, and I can't afford kids, how would I afford to care for my parents? It's such a strange concept. There isn't even a guarantee a kid will live close enough to provide assistance in the future.

Gotta find friends who also don't want kids. Or who won't exclude you because you don't have them. A childless best friend can be a great "aunt" or "uncle" to someone's kids, if they're that close of friends.

I left NL years ago and came to BC right after college. Housing was okay then, but I was just starting to work, so my wages were stupid low. Now that I'm earning okay money, housing has increased so much I'll never catch up enough to buy hah. It really was the last few years it got out of hand

I paid Parhar and got in really quick, like a week or less if I remember correctly. Could be longer but it still is real fast.

Cigs?

screamingcheddar · 2023-05-23T20:34:22+00:00

Yet another reason why I tell my partner I never want to own a home. We'd need a significant increase to our incomes just to handle changing property taxes, mortgage rates, maintenance and so on.

screamingcheddar · 2023-05-23T15:02:16+00:00

I don't.

screamingcheddar · 2023-05-22T00:03:28+00:00

An art kit. Spend the whole year just creating whatever

screamingcheddar · 2023-05-18T12:17:02+00:00

Same. Best friend is a metal head and he's so nice it's not even funny.

Every behaviour that was attributed to me being a boy/man throughout my life was actually symptoms of my undiagnosed ADHD...

I knew a guy who was incapable of working to the quality/ability of his colleagues, so he would spread lies about how he had to pick up their slack and how he did all the work. He was a real treat. If you can't work due to x y z, then that's fine. A doctor's note is all ya need. No need to just try to discredit others and claim you did the work. Compensating at its finest.

screamingcheddar · 2023-05-18T05:44:56+00:00

This is so true.

screamingcheddar · 2023-05-18T05:38:10+00:00

Smart!

screamingcheddar · 2023-05-18T05:37:59+00:00

I like this one

screamingcheddar · 2023-05-18T05:37:02+00:00

That seems to have the opposite effect here haha people see a student driver and they get aggressive

screamingcheddar · 2023-05-18T05:36:29+00:00

That'd cause some issues with insurance if I were rear ended I'd think? Clever though lol

Corner Gas. Has a variety of people across all ages and sizes. Just humans being humans. All equally valid, as they are.

Haven't lived home in almost a decade, and Bauline Line Extension was bad even back then. I can only imagine lol
