I hate that it takes a month to shut down 100 page PWA when it used to take a week to shut down 200 pages of PWA.

I hate when people come and go, it makes making friends a tough thing to do.

I hate living so far away from my parents.

I hate the weather in colorado

I hate that my computer battery never seems to last long enough, eventhough I'm not really using it half the time anyway.

I hate being a quiet person when I really want to talk someone's ear off.

I hate that you guys haven't said one good thing about me wanting to move to bigger and better things.

We agreed to shut up. What more do you want?

I already know how everyone feels.

not saying it doesn't change the way you feel

Nope. Hearing it, though, changes the way you feel.

ObHate: I hate not knowing.

feeling disappointed sucks

Not as much as being the one that CAUSED someone to feel disappointed.

Just came through a year of that. Coming out the other side of it sucks, too... but less and different.

What are you moving on to? I'm doing some moving on myself...

I hate wondering instead of doing, yet I find myself wondering...

a bigger house, a better paycheck, and a different lifestyle...i.e. non college life style.


I hate being more mature than 30 year olds but not having the experience of a 30 year old.

Hello, m, nice to hear from you.
Do we know you? Or are you a lurker-turned-poster?
In any case, welcome.

I hate being right most of the time (trying to continue the thread). Most people don't want to hear the truth, they want you to agree with them, regardless of "right" or "wrong." Then again, most people won't listen anyway.

From someone who has had the money (made $120/yr salary in my best year financially), it's not worth it. $40,000 is fine for me, $60,000 is comfortable, anything above $80,000 just isn't worth chasing - the effort is more than the reward. The lifestyle is what matters... and I wish I'd understood that in my twenties. It sounds like you're going the right way...

I'm working with people that are making that 100k per year, they aren't working any harder than I am at 35k per year. then again, they have been there for 30 years.

not in accent at least

Cruzer, you just graduated college, you have a good job, and you making a great salary for someone your age. You have a lot to be proud of!

Probably the main reason some of us freaked about you know what is that we've dealt with a lot of stress in the 20-30 yrs we have on you but we have to remember that your life is yours, it's different than ours, and you've done great up till now so there's no reason you won't in the future.

The rest will come. You're the typical impatient young person. Give yourself a break. I think you're a great guy. I hope my son turns out as well as you.

This may be a mistake, but some times you need to let us make that mistake. All I know is that I really don't like the size of my bedroom.


better daj?

Yep.

He didn't send out thank you notes either.
He is still a snot nose brat.
He is just a full grown one now.


But we still love you Cruzer!

They are coming at some point.

I've been so damn busy, I haven't had time to write them. Sorry for my terrible handwriting btw.

They will come! I promise!

I agree with you completely. And your bedroom is really small for a man.

actually, I'm pretty much a minimalist, but I've still out grown a 11x12 room when my room at home was...well...very big

You need a set-up like my son has upstairs. His bedroom & bath are off the bonus room. He basically has a 3-room suite. You can shut the doors to the bonus room and it's completely private.

What's a bonus room?

daj59 wrote:
It's an extra room in a house for you to use how you want. It's usually very open and upstairs in a 2 story home. It's usually not well suited to be a bedroom because of its open desigh.

Most of the time it's a playroom or entertainment room. It's very common in newer (last 20 years?) homes. This bonus room (and the one in the previous house in WA) has a sleeper couch, large TV, and all the video game consoles.

I've never heard of one. But then I haven't shopped for a new house in 36 years.
