    I expected to feel like an “adult”. When it didn’t happen immediately, I thought it would come fairly soon, what with fulltime employment and becoming a father etc.

    Nope. 40+ years old, still feel like a teen lost in the world without a clue where to go or what to do.

        Meh, your meat husk won’t start decaying until a year or five, six. Mine’s been on the lamb for over two decades.

          I am in a never ending routine of doctors currently because it is absolutely decaying and we aren’t sure why.

            Sorry to hear that; my assumptions were hasty. May they soon find out what’s ailing you and treat it accordingly.

              It also may have been unclear. My brain says it’s 16.

              It’s been thinking it’s 16 since I was 16. Which was ages ago now.

              The meat husk is decaying from time but also who knows??? something else hence the doctors.

    Not all men were like my father. I mean he wasn’t a perfect person, but he was waaaaaaaaaaaay ahead of most men of his generation and I thought other men would be more like him.

    They weren’t.

    Just how many bills there are just sapping your account. My immersion heater just broke and I really don’t want to be dealing with having to get somebody in and paying them… And no, I’m not doing it myself, thats a recipe for floods and fires.

    Some of my roommates had never cleaned anything (dishes, laundry, etc) before and they were not from wealthy households. They also had eaten most meals as take out or prepared from a box so they were amazed by cooking from scratch.
