Welcome back Diceman!
welcome back diceman! Yes working out is a energizer for sure I do daily and it is also a great way to clear my head.:1circling
Hi Diceman.
Living on your own for the first time at 35 – scary stuff? It’s increasingly looking like I will be in the same situation soon (at 38). Not really looking forward to it.
Anyway, welcome back.
Welcome back, Diceman!
Living by yourself can be great fun….
Welcome back mate
Welcome back Diceman! I have been very busy also lately and will be for months to come.
:cheers:

I hope you guys are talking about having to live on your own as a result of something besides being pushed out of the nest.Don’t get mad if that’s true. You guys know better than anybody that’s a legit statement. You’re too damn old to be still living with mom and dad.
Okay, enough digs. We all start out at some point and where you may be starting out on your own in that respect at your current age: I started out gaining my independence at about the same age (as you) in respect to making an income separate from a weekly paycheck situation.
So we’re not too much different.
If you are putting off getting out on your own at the age of 30+ then I have some excellent advice which is heart-sent. Its obvious you have strong ties with your parents and as such you should get out on your own while you have the opportunity because the time is coming much sooner than you (or anybody: especially the parents) would like when it will become necessary to either live with your parents again (though it may be likely they’ll be staying at your house) or at least be spending a large amount of your time at their house taking care of them.
This isn’t a bad thing, Its quite honorable. But IMHO everyone deserves a time to have spent on their own without the responsibilities of having to be there to take care of your loved ones.
I recall when I was young I’d hear older people talking of having to care for their parents but it never sunk in my time was coming. It has.
So don’t be putting off getting out there. pay the costs of finding a home of your own and in about 20 years (which trust me will come all too soon though that will never sink in right now to the extent it should) … you’ll actually thank me for this advice.
Good luck and enjoy the excitement that comes with the risk involved.
Cheers

ps, though I won’t be PMing you Dice, welcome back my friend.
Nicely put BB1.
In my case however I meant that my eleven year relationship seems to be drawing to a close. Before that I had an eight year relationship that ended disastrously. Just don’t fancy going through all that again.
Hi again all,
sorry to hear S. Been there and done that too many times.
and despite what some say … IMHO it doesn’t ever get easier.
I’m in a relationship now that although its good, I can’t help but every once in while ask myself how i could be so stupid as to get myself into such a predicument yet once again lol.
well good luck on all that.
yep. i decided to come back as well (like diceman) lol.
i’ll see all you guys soon. i’m getting up some new websites.peace. :wink-wink
Living on my own is very nice.. And no my friend it was not a nest push ;P
I have been a dad for far longer and lived with the mother of my children from the time our first son was born. No this is my own journey and much different than when I was young new dad.
I am a bit shell shocked from the long time off though
Where and how do we get paid now?Where and how do we get paid now?
what an excellent question my friend.
No answers about that. Just more questions.
good luck on your own. 35 huh?
enjoy the next 5 or 7 years. 44 sucks lol. and I don’t expect 46 to be any better
that said; what you don’t enjoy from youth any more … well some of the wisdom and (in my case at least) patience you gain … sorta makes up for it.
so its not all bad.
