      And if it was a Micro$oft house you'd need to start with an entirely new, unproved technology and a budget that was clearly a hallucination.

          Just put my dirty dishes with my clean dishes! Can you believe that? Luckily I noticed just in time so I could clean out the dishwasher before the dishes mingled too much. Could've ended badly! Someone should really make a (thriller) movie out of this. Or maybe I should write a book. Don't know if I can take much more excitement today X|

          Silly man; you're supposed to pile all the dirty dished on the counter and in the sink until the dishwasher is empty, and then fill it. Think of it as a mutex with the counter being a queue.

                      I'm pretty sure this is just a joke. It makes no sense to be single and miss the bright side of it.

                        Another woe of a single middle class male is that he can't take a dog because he's not at home for most of the day. Getting a cat later this summer though :)

                        Taxidermist. Have them put wheels on the feet, and you can still walk the thing, although the kids at the park are kinda freaked out. (Note: Don't offer them candy to calm them down, you might get tazed)

                            Oh boy, what happened to the world? How can you not appreciate having no one to ask for permission, being able to hang out with your pals without anyone on your ass, not owing any explanation, doing whatever you please, hooking up with different women every time... You don't need to be that young for any of those. If I said everything about the bright side of being single...

                                    Yeah... Friends require maintenance, I don't like it, it's a lot of work. But in the end it pays off. I used to have a lot of trouble fitting in and keeping good friendships, some kind of social laziness. But when I got past that the benefits came. I actually realized I could be happier, and I did :) What always scared me the most is let time slip by and skip life. It's too short and it's not worth wasting time not enjoying it. I wish I won the lottery so I don't have to manage work life balance. This may be just me, but I think I waste time working and sleeping, too little time for actual leisure. But maybe work is leisure for you :)

                                      Not hating single life, but if you know a pretty single girl willing to commit (and cook, clean, DO THE DISHES, etc.) please send her over ;p

                                      Oh, there are lots of them here in Brazil, come over, pick one and come back. You'll get plenty of candidates, specially now with our economic crisis :laugh:

                                          Yeah... Friends require maintenance, I don't like it, it's a lot of work. But in the end it pays off. I used to have a lot of trouble fitting in and keeping good friendships, some kind of social laziness. But when I got past that the benefits came. I actually realized I could be happier, and I did :) What always scared me the most is let time slip by and skip life. It's too short and it's not worth wasting time not enjoying it. I wish I won the lottery so I don't have to manage work life balance. This may be just me, but I think I waste time working and sleeping, too little time for actual leisure. But maybe work is leisure for you :)

                                          Work used to be leisure. I still enjoy it from time to time, but not as much as I used to... I do enjoy the rewards of hard work though. Having done something useful, making a difference, paycheck... :D

                                          At this point I've got some good friends that I can't talk to for months, then we meet, and it's all great and it's like we talk to each other every day. Those are the friends worth keeping :D
