I've been drilling holes in concrete blocks with a giant Hilti drill and a 2" dry-core bit for two days now. I can barely open my left hand.

I found out last night my best childhood friend is having a kid. Kind of weirded me out. They're the same age as me and have a house and are crapping out a kid (on purpose mind you) and here I am having trouble keeping my Brita refilled. Don't get me wrong I don't want kids anytime soon, I have a few racing notches I need to carve in my belt first. It was just weird sitting there taking it all in.

I did A/V work for a year, and we had a contract to mount projectors on the ceilings of every room in one of the local colleges. Hammer-drilling 4 one-half inch holes on top of a ladder into reinforced concrete was the worst thing ever. My arms were worse than noodles.

I really really really wanted kids when I was younger. Now I feel like I barely have time to do anything, I feel like I haven't accomplished poo poo, and I don't feel like having kids anymore, because how would I have time for that? I hate growing up. It's overrated.

The gf and I are both 29, so her entire FB is either people getting married(including both of our brothers) or having kids and its starting to get to her. I know its going to happen eventually to me and I need to get moving on that whole buying a ring thing. Its not that I don't intend on spending the rest of my life with her, I just never got the whole getting married thing. It just seems like a way to spend a poo poo ton of money on a piece of paper. Prolly has something to do with having divorced parents.

mafoose posted:I really really really wanted kids when I was younger. Well, for us we wanted kids, then found out it would be super hard, and very expensive if she tried to get pregnant. So we put it on the backburner, and now it's been almost six years. We may adopt, but that's still a bit in the future. We're fairly stable since I'm in the navy, but I still spend most of my time feeling like a failure being 27, not owning a house, no degree, no kids and still wondering what the gently caress the future holds.

I'd love to get marroed and have a kid or two, but that would actually require a girl wanting to date me. I'm like 0-10 the last 6 months.

No desire at all in any way to have kids. A dog is the most responsibility I want and even that's pushing it. Maybe it'll change when I get older but so far it's a big ol NOPE. I'll settle with toys and travel for the time being. I get a dog from Mom as soon as I say I want one. So this isn't a completely poo poo post here are puppies...  And the father 'protecting' the whelping box, looking slightly startled

Being 35 and having a good number of younger friends, the most amusing thing I tend to see is a girl in her late 20's finding her "soul mate" and they shack up together. Then they get careless, she gets pregnant and they break up. I could go through my FB list and name maybe 8 girls who've gone through this in the last three years. All single with babies, crying because nobody wants to date a single mom.

Good deed for the day: found an iPhone in the middle of the street, pulled over and picked it up so it didn't get run over, and am currently waiting for the owner who called and identified it to come pick it up.

I've found Diablo 3 works great for this type of thing. vvv E: I was of the same mind too, vanilla D3 was a poo poo sundae but the expansion, removal of the AH and new legendary-happy loot system makes it enjoyable again. redgubbinz fucked around with this message at 19:11 on Jun 12, 2014 |

I get you there. Just - it is better. I played really hardcore when D3 first came out (unemployed after moving 2200km for the wifes job), and made a few hundred bucks selling digital monster-killing-things to people. Quit playing because, well, I got a job. RoS came out, had some friends say it looked good, and drat, is it ever better. Its still not D2, but then again, nothing will be - we were all like, what, 13 years younger/way different people then. The wife and I play it with her sister and brother-in-law. Or her brother. Or the other brother in law. Basically its a game we play to keep in touch from 3/4 of the way across North America.

I haven't played D3 since about a month after it came out. I dunno, I just found it a soulless loot grinder that didn't fulfill my need for MORE ITEMS like D2 and its various mods did. Nowadays, I pretty much just play Europa Universalis IV because I am a huge nerd.

We usually had a specific game chosen ahead of time, but we usually always started with Defcon, rolled into Company of Heroes, and then into Left 4 Dead. Seat Safety Switch posted:I haven't finished New Order yet, I've only gotten up to finding the hideout so have only had one train sex scene. Hell yes, although I love how, even with a semi-serious and dark game, they've still chosen the comedy option like dual wielding and being able to use dead Super Soldier pieces as armor. Oh, and eat dog food. Nothing like throwbacks to the old Wolfenstein 3D. CommieGIR fucked around with this message at 20:46 on Jun 12, 2014 |
