I'm just wondering guys, what's your job? How do you earn? As for me, I'm an insurance and investments agent. Been so for several years. I do that part time, and I also have small part time jobs with my father's company ~ I...

maenad People are nervous, but we are a conservative bank and while we took a loss, we're still rates very highly. Mostly I answer questions about "Are you taking bailout money?" and the answer is no, we aren't. And then I encourage people to save their money in...

maenad With the agreement we have with his folks, we are able to leave at any time, just as long as we give them notice. And we are staying in a good relationship with this rental company, so if it doesn't work out, we're still in a good position to come back. The...

maenad Yeah, we've pretty much decided to do it -- I'm just looking for experiences to see what other people have experienced so we can try to avoid the big problems. I have always been interested in community and commune-type living, so I had different expectations...

International Women's Day just past by . That makes me ponder over the point that why don't we celebrate "International Men's Day" the same way as we celebrate a day dedicated to women ???

celebration

men

women

maenad Because every day is International Men's Day. If we celebrated the needs, desires, history, etc of women the same way we do for men, we wouldn't need it.

maenad It's a bit disinginous though -- because it's giving the idea that it's prepostorous that a being could live under the water. When of course, it's possible for the god. I'm a stickler for the specifics though, and to equate the gods with mortals is one of...

maenad Then, man, that book kinda sucked. It wasn't a man who lived in the seas. If anything, it's Poseidon, a god. Who isn't exactly bound by the things that make us mortal.

maenad Oh, see, the husband and I are years away from starting a family. We're focused on living above the poverty line right now! This will likely be for two years while he finishes up school and finds a teaching position in a high-risk area. Big houses always seem...

maenad I think it's only in the last century that we haven't had multiple families or boarders sharing a house. The historical books I read are jam-packed with them. I am hesitant to give up my own place, but it's never felt like our own -- we can't hang anything...

maenad I'm glad to hear that someone had a good experience. I don't think it's an uncommon experience. I really value community and I always wanted to try cooperative living, and I think this gives me that opportunity in a safe way.

maenad That's what we are planning (we have a few months before we move, after all). A legal contract with his folks, for things like rent and utilities, and then a social contract between the three or four of us to outline rights and responsibilities.

maenad I already deal with my husbands bad habits :) It does seem a little strange, but there's a lot of really good things that I'll be able to do because there's space and a place to garden. I won't trip over the ironing board anymore!

maenad I don't do all the housework as it is! I work more than my husband, so our housework load is fairly even. Mines just more time consuming because doing laundry takes forever when you have to go to a friends house to do it. I do have privacy with my husband....

maenad I feel your pain. My husband was a couch surfer up until the year before we got married (he was able to move in with my parents, he got his own room in the basement). He's done this before, and I haven't. I'm hoping it works out.
