Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
There was the time when I had a group of Buffistas visiting, and I had to ask megan walker to bring a corkscrew with her along with a bottle of wine.
Of course, now I have the mother (father?) of all corkscrews, the Screwpull, which I admit makes me feel very adult.
things that define being an adult for me:
I think it is buying things that I don't want to buy ( Hello, lawnmower) but I buy because the conseqences of not buying them ( huge gardening fees; no food , because no rifidgerator; laundremat) are way worse than spending money.
also accepting that certain things that I have always wanted ( like a swimming pool) are most likely nevers, unless I am willing to change parts of my life that I am very happy with .
Adulthood for me was when I bought my first major (as in, more than $100 and not a bookshelf) piece of furniture not inherited from family, which was my coffee table and matching end table. When I purchased my first non-inherited couch and spent mucho bucks on it, I knew I was really a grown up.
I still go back to my parents occasionally to borrow (not mooch) money for bills, but not nearly as much as I used to back in the day.
Speaking of money, I've got my performance review in 42 minutes--eeep!! I've already got the printed version, so I know it's decent (meets expectations), but I'm not expecting much for a raise (need exceeds expectations for something really good there).
I've also officially commited myself to applying for the MLS program at Illinois (Internet version of the program) by asking my boss for a reference. Double eeep!!
Go Kathy A, future Librarian Superhero! Excellent program!
hat will detect the weight you use to press the keys and respond accordingly, like a piano.
DH's does . It was the only real requirement when he wanted one. I know his i s less than 88 keys.
Good luck Kathy!
Is there something wrong with TWOP?

Go you!
This is how I know I'm not an adult-- I fantasize about food, other people point out lawnmowers and mortgages and washing machines.
I felt very grown up when I negotiated my raise. Granted I'm still a temp secretary and I don't have many benefits but I did this by myself.
Having a fully stocked pantry instead of just having ramien and easy mac in the pantry and learning how to cook feels like a step toward adulthood for me, but I don't feel like an adult.
