I had an inspection. The house has been mostly fine for 3 years. A bunch of things broke all at once this year. I came here to vent to other homeowners and ask if anybody else ever misses the simplicity of renting.
I'm sorry Skierman, we can't all live in yurts/our mother's basement.

I agree with Skierman. Since you are not 30+ you can kindly fuck off. You could make your own thread.

Update:
100% made the right decision. What I didn't mention on this last post is that I'm extremely tight for money and have been for a long time, due to some rather silly financial mistakes. So even though I hated the job, it was a safe gig and I was finally earning decent money and feeling more comfortable, so leaving it into a new role in a new company was taking a leap of faith.
But yes, 3 months into my new job at it's going great. Loads more variety, better people and overall nicer work environment (literally speaking, the last place was kind of a shithole). I've worked in the oil sands too and going back again in September so earning extra $ bank for the field work too.

It’s all about finding out happy balance. You could be making tons of money and be absolutely miserable. Better to find a place that you’re actually happy being around and is better for your mentality, even if you give up a little bit of money

I remember feeling this way when I was younger working on house projects and being broke despite making good money and just being like fuck I am jealous of my friends who are partying and vacationing with all their fuck you money. Thing is, the longer you gut it out the more that equation starts to flip in your favor. You’re allowed to be pissed off about a bunch of shit breaking all at once, but at least it’s YOUR shit. People that rent late into life tend to exhibit signs of arrested development from my experience. Nothing worse than being a helpless 40 year old man that has to pay his master for a place to sleep every month.

I turn 29 this year but id like to eventually start my own sort-of Landscaping/Hardscape Construction business or something in my 30's hopefully. Idk. Or maybe get more serious about being an EMS provider. Its a weird feeling not having your shit together sometimes.

Land/hardscaping can be a great business. Especially if you really enjoy the project and seeing the finished results.

Probably best to keep politics out. On the one hand the "lounge" was created to have a rare thread on NS where users can be mostly civil and actually think before they speak (type), but unfortunately once politics gets involved on any forum or thread that all goes out of the window.
All that being said, the riots in the UK aren't a direct consequence of political decisions, this time!

I think you guys are exaggerating how difficult dating is past 25. It’s obviously way harder than being in college, but as long as you have a steady job, are in good shape, and generally have your shit together, it will work out. Maybe it’s different in the northeast but there are lots of 30 year old women without kids here.
My gf tells me some wild dating horror stories from her friends though. Dudes who are clearly suffering from mental illness but won’t go to therapy, still drink like they are in college, are immature and super insecure, shit like that. You can get away with that stuff in your 20s, but you gotta have it together a bit by the time you’re 30. I’m not saying you need to own a big house and make six figures, you just need to be a functioning adult and know what you’re looking for in a relationship. Also women in their 30s are not trying to waste time, if you are unsure about having kids you need to figure that out ASAP. Which kinda ties in with the general theme of my rant here, you need to know yourself and know what you’re looking for. I struggled for a few years through my late 20s but once I figured out those two things I pretty much immediately met someone and now we have been together for a year and a half, going to move in together soon

Been having a rough summer thus far with my wife finding out that her chronic pain and fatigue she’s been dealing with since last fall was from a large ovarian mass (12.7 cm). The first thing the surgeon told us was that, based on the spheroid shape, it’s most likely not malignant which was a relief.
Surgery is scheduled for end of August and I’m playing nurse for her like she did for my dumb skiing injuries.

My only thought is theres a huge difference between being 25-30 and 30-35, just speaking from experience. When i was 25-30 i would hit the bars, stay up late, meet new people, etc. 30-35 I stopped going out, stopped staying up late, only hung out with people I knew, etc. Life changes quickly.
Also, now days the odds of someone having kids at 30 is far lower than it used to be, so I can understand what you're seeing there.

I wasn't having trouble meeting woman my age without children, I just happen connected the most with a gal who has one. Ill laugh at the memes tho cuz they're pretty funny
The last girl I was hanging out with didn't understand common sense like how we should sit outside because her dog she insisted on bringing to the brewery was showing obvious aggression to children
Tho children and pets at breweries is a separate discussion on its own lol

Nice write up bro. Thanks. Good to hear things are going well with your partner too!
funny how things come around. I struggled with online dating apps for years as I just hated the whole idea of them, plus I just never seemed to match with anyone and I just couldn’t understand why, especially when I moved back to Canada earlier this year. Now suddenly I’ve had 2 dates in the last 3 weeks and 2 more this week, PLAYER alert over here… guess I’ll see how things go.

It for sure can be chill and fine, but only if the brewery has set their space up for it. I've been to some that are just not kid friendly and family friendly while allowing children, and others that are obviously set up to be family friendly.
The place I mentioned with the girl and her shit dog was not one of the places that was set up well for families

Also from one of the first dates we both got on super well, like insanely well, but neither of us kind of felt that spark. So we’ve agreed to be friends and I actually really want to do that. She’s super cool and a good skier too so I hope we can stay in touch and I’ll have another ski buddy this winter (this also has nothing to do with the fact she’s a manager at Arc’Teryx and can get me 50% off through friends and family).

Ffs. And what a lot of people don’t realise is that any dog bigger than a hamster can actually be super dangerous. I had a friend of a friend with a cocker spaniel that once went for me, left a super deep teeth mark in me which bled for a while. I had to kick
him super hard to get him off me. I’m the biggest dog lover on the planet but fuck that dog. If that had been a child I absolutely dread to think of the outcome.

Owning three dogs in my life. it's not usually the dog. It's the owner's fault. 99% of dogs can be raised properly and will not do anything more than play bite you when roughhousing.
Don't blame the dogs. Like when i see a rotten kid. I don't usually blame the kid, I look at the parents who are usually incompetent.

Honestly I see your logic, but I can’t entirely agree mate. XL bullies were recently banned in the Uk due to a spate of attacks which caused deaths to children and adults. The most horrific deaths. A few of these dogs were family pets and loved and trusted. But once something like that turns, for any reason, you’ve just got no chance of stopping it. tbh I would never EVER leave a child alone around any dog that size or strength no matter how lovely or trustworthy it is. That’s just me though.
