Wandering around the house in your underwear, looking out of the window, drinking water in complete silence -- best weekends ever

when camping you use a $1500 shiftpod outfitted with a $1000 generator, a $600 air conditioner, a full suit of furniture, and a solar-powered surround sound projection theater instead of a $20 tent
- hehe... that's more than some call 'home'PonyBoy
- that’s not camping is it?monospaced
- what about a super 73 electric bike? only $2800 lolsea_sea
- at least it's not an RV yet, got 10-15 more years before i hit that phasescarabin
- You made yourself well comfortable at Burning Man this year!Continuity
- I saw a family bring their own flooring to the campsite this year.mekk
- I bought a VW Westfalia and spent thousands of dollars making it road and camp worthy. Not quite an RV. I still have a few years before I get that old.fooler

Have any of you had your wisdom teeth removed?
Mine's starting to bleed heavily, I think it may be time. Damn it. I don't wanna deal with this now.
- I had mine removed when I was 17 while I was still on my parents dental plan.fooler
- Yeah it's probably not so much a thing about "getting old" but still annoying. Did it hurt? How was the healing process?NBQ00
- a week of ice cream and boostimbecile
- Nope, not yetMaaku
- all 4 of mine grew in. never got around to getting them out. they dont bother me muchfuturefood
- i do remember my brother looking like a chipmunk for a week when he had his removedfuturefood
- Yep...I had drugs, Netflix and the assistant was hot...felt like a holiday.see_thru
- one. other one is at 90deg and needs X-raying every few years to make sure it's not growing into a 'need surgery to remove' situation.shapesalad
- Had both removed and was sore for a few days. Meds, tv, and sleep. Good luck.bezoar
- yep, you'll be fine. look up oil pulling (def don't do it to treat your issue w/o speaking to a dentist)notype
- all in all, your teeth is probably telling you it's time to take a mini-vacation. you need it. let them pamper you after the pulling. ice cream abounds!notype
- Had 4 impacted and got them all removed at once. Percocet did nothing for the pain, I asked dr. why and he then prescribed dilaudid. I don't remember that week.whatthefunk
- Born without them ,apparently not everyone gets themdrgs
- Whatveer you do - don't leave it too late. I did, one of the fuckers cracked, worst pain I've ever felt. I felt like such a mug after removed - was so easy.Nairn

I'm not crazy about video games anymore and spending more than 30 minutes on a console really feels like a waste of time, even if it's Sunday. I sold my Xbox last night.
- yep, watching 'gameplay no commentary' does the same trick********
- shit, that is old.
i'm not looking forward to that dayBluejam - ^ LOL********

So I live near a high school. It's actually the high school I went to and graduated from nearly 20 years ago.
I was at a stoplight in front of the school the other day and a kid cruises by on his skateboard with his headphones on.
The kid purposefully drops his empty soda bottle in the gutter and pushes on down the sidewalk.
The first thing that runs though my mind when I see it is "What a fucking douche!"
Only later does it dawn on me that that kid was literally me 20 years ago. Skating home from school. Blasting a mix tape on my walkman. And I probably would have littered my soda bottle with reckless abandon when I was a young punk too.

Bucking the trend slightly, I've recently started to reverse a sign of ageing.
I smoked 20-ish cigarettes a day for twenty years. Gave up properly 18 months ago. When I smoked, I always placed the cigarette left-of-center in my mouth. I exhaled on the same side. The result was that I had a deep wrinkle / crease from the left side of my nose to the left corner of my mouth. It's the kind of wrinkle that comes naturally with age, but most people have one each side. I had just the one on the left side. It was kind of odd, to me at least. I always seemed to be smirking in photos.
Now that I've stopped smoking, it's starting to fall out. As i age in every other respect, my face and lungs are healing themselves.
To aid this, I also find it useful not to smile, laugh or outwardly express any emotion.

I woke at 8am this Sunday morning as i went to bed early on a saturday night -
by 9am found myself in Bunnings [ big hardware garden store ] buying a lawnmower, raised beds, wormfarm, potting mix , starter plants, seeds etc - and now i have a fully functioning herb garden.
the Mrs pissed herself laughing and i'm still grumpy with her.
She will have no herbs in her food until she apologises.

I'm getting more and more existential thoughts and depression about my life in general and future.
I'm in my mid 30's and everybody (almost everybody) at my age seems in a relationship or married with kids. It seems their purpose to settle down and have offspring.
In my case I have a bit of a commitophobia. But at the same time would like a long term relationship again. But every time I do I also long for freedom. And just thinking of marriage scares me but most women want it.
But the older I get the more anxiety I get about staying single or "bachelor" forever and maybe not ending up with anybody, ending up lonely.
I also get feelings of nihilism quite often. Where I feel that nothing matters and has no point.
Maybe it's just a phase. Anybody can relate?
- If your 30 and single. Your really just in your 20s with more money.pango
- Life is short mate...OBBTKN
- Can relate. 30s and single, but enjoying it. I think you got to decide what you want and go after it. Either single happiness or married... uh happiness.sarahfailin
- But I think you won't find meaning from someone else, you'll only be distracted from the meaninglessness by them. Got to make your own meaning.sarahfailin

My sleep is getting worse and worse. Browsing web and reading on phone/ laptop before sleep probably isn't a good idea either but I can't abandon it. All my books are digital too as I live a minimalist lifestyle.
Of course the stupid bladder waking me up in the middle of the night is another annoying factor.
- Exercise. I'm in the same boat, have not exercised for in a long time, and I have not slept deeply for months...OBBTKN
- I do exercise regularly. Not sure if it's the stress though or some other anxiety issue or the damn bladder.NBQ00
- Then you're not old enough, at mid 40's you don't give a fuck for nothing, no stress. You'll start sleeping well in 10 years...OBBTKN

I haven’t had to set my alarm clock in a few years. No matter how late I go to bed or how many pints I’ve had the night before my body wakes up at 6am. Even on the weekends.

Pete Davidson.
I just don't get it. Pretty much just Sandler without the talent and leaning on the stoner-chic thing heavily.
- Sandler has talent?Nairn
- What Naim said!chukkaphob
- sandler shot his wad after happy gilmore.sarahfailin
- Nowhere in there was that a send-up of Sandler. Only that i at least GET his appeal.MrAbominable

Buying an enclosed trailer to drag around too many toys in inclement weather to places to enjoy said toys... Everything with 2 wheels, get in!

I had to ask a kid stocking shelves at the supermarket last evening what was written on a package, because I didn't have my glasses on. And I don't even look that old.
Ugh.

- I had perfect eye sight until 1.5 years ago, then BAM!, like almost overnight it just vanished. Not to glasses yet, but wow, it changes fast!formed
- So when you get old you can't see closer. But I'm already near sighted... i can't see far. Does that mean I'm just gonna go blind or back to normal?pango
