im all for living alone..

but at the end of the day, if you need roomies to make your life more comfortable financially, then why starve yourself.



this, and especially since you've always lived alone, why not mix it up this time? you can always go back to living alone with the living situation w friends is up.

i'm living alone right now for the first time. past three years i lived with people, and before that was with my parents still. i think it's good to experience both.

Late rent, complete disregard for paying rent, chain smoking cigarettes in the living room with all the windows/doors closed, all kinds of shit you'd be amazed what people will pull.
You think you know them now

I have always lived alone and am someone who values my alone time but loves to be social as well. So I am not sure how all this would work out. The one obstacle I am worried about is that I have something wrong with me so my shit stinks really bad and I have to flush a couple of times to make it go down. No doctor has been able to figure out what is wrong with me so I don't think I will be cured soon. Do you guys think it would it be awkward if I always flushed the toilet twice and sprayed fa breeze every time I went to the bathroom?






This might sound random but if you have stomach issues that doctors can't figure out I would recommend look into parasite infections.

A few things about parasites -  they can be hard to find,  many doctors seem unaware how many people in America have them, and they can cause subtle symptoms that build up over time.

One way to test for them is with a doctor that knows about the, and can give blood tests to test for antibodies.  A lot of labs that test for them don't pick them up a lot of the time - best labs are specialty ones which can be found and read about online.





I have been tested and the results were negative but I always have suspected that I have parasites due to traveling in other countries and drinking dirty water. What is the treatment that they give you for it?




It depends on the type of parasites.  It can be a lot of information to read up on.  My main recommendation for anyone with suspected parasites is to find a Tropical Medicine Doctor - http://www.astmh.org/source/ClinicalDirectory/ ;   

It can save a lot of expensive tests with a doctor that knows what to test for - many blood tests can pick up microsopic parasites as well as big ones. 

Here's a link to someone that put up different protocols for different kinds of parasites -

http://www.curezone.com/forums/am.asp?i=1921385 

it talks about symptoms and dosages and scheduling for taking drugs for infections.  Some of the schedules are a little hardcore like albendazol for two weeks - success could be possible to do a week rather than that on and off.  Also dosages for different parasites can be searched online to confirm and a lot of meds can be ordered online as well.   

The person also put up a tip for doctor appointments since many seem to think parasites just occur in third world countries lol but they can be gotten from undercooked fish, meat, infected salads, etc. -http://curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=1611820

A lot of parasite treatments also have people take more than one round of drugs due to the parasite life cycle, if any eggs are left behind it can start over again so whatever the treatment is it can pay to do it fully.  Good luck.

I have lived with many people over the years.  I only didn't get along with one of them... and that dude was nuts.  To have a roommate, you need to communicate when you have an issue arise.  That's really the only thing to having a swell living situation.

This is why you live with people who actually have money, and have skills that you dont have.

Ie:  You cook I clean type of deal.

Set up the rules of engagement before hand and its not even bad.  The kitchen will NEVER be clean though.

If you do this, you would be saving $200 a month, and that's if you DON'T spend the extra money on anything whatsoever. You seem to be getting around just fine without a car...do you REALLY need a car at this point?

Your only concern is that your shit stinks...for now...

In my experience, living with someone can be a pain at times, even if the person is really chill and nice. You just NEVER have any time to yourself except for when they are at work or out of the house in general. If I could afford to live by myself I damn well would.

The person I'm living with now is helping me out a lot. I go to trade school and am almost done and he only charges me about $100 month, but I pretty much barter. I give him free massages, I bathe his dogs every month, and I do housecleaning every month for his house. I'm getting a pretty sweet deal.

I have a few gripes: I can't stand when the sink is full with dishes. I like for at LEAST one side of the sink to be clear so I can use it when I need to. Another gripe is having to share the bathroom. He drips fucking urine on the toilet seat. Unless you are in fucking elementary school, WHIPE YOUR FUCKING BAD AIM URINE OFF THE DAMN SEAT!!! Another gripe is that he wakes up really fucking early, which means if I wake up early, I have to see him. I HATE mornings and I hate even more when people TALK to me in the morning. So when I wake up early, he says, "good morning" and I don't want to be rude so I say it back. I fucking hate talking to ANYONE first thing when i wake up. My last gripe is that his god damn dogs always bark in the fucking morning and wake me up. I swear if they do it again I will personally rip out their voice boxes.

Anyway, I get a sweet deal, but all in all, I would rather live alone. Having roommates is really just a financial thing.

yah the first few months is fine, after that, once you are "settled" in, you REALLY see how the other person REALLY behaves. My current roommate is fine, besides the little gripes I listed.

But my LAST roommate was a passive aggressive asshole. One time he stole money from my room. I asked him about it, he said he didn't do it but he did replace it and gave it all to me (which tells me he stole it, bastard). I would have to clean ALL of his dishes, it's like his mother never taught him how to do chores or something. He told me he didn't care if I smoked pot yet he would get mad if I was smoking in my room and made the apt smell like weed. He would ALWAYS leave his laundry in the washing machine. His dog would ALLLLLLWAYS wake me up at 6 in the god damn morning. I finally had enough and so I beat the shit out of the dog and ever since then, he never barked when I was home.

I've actually never lived on my own, except for the time when I lived in my car for 6 weeks.

I mean I love my apartment and I love living alone. The only problem is sometimes it just gets lonely and I think if I lived around people I wouldn't feel this way.

I love living with my roommates, and the previous roommate I had before them, who was my ex gf. Granted, the ex gf and I drifted apart towards the end of living together but that was two years after we broke up.

Everybody is different, but I always kind of keep a revolving door on my apartment. People come and go all the time, always have a safe place to be etc, so I guess I am just a social person. I have a few kind of things I follow, I don't take bullshit or pieces of shit and make sure my roommates know that, but granted it takes a lot to get me to that point. I've met roommates off craigslist multiple times and only had a problem with ones ex who accused me of stealing pot from him which I just laughed at him because I haven't smoked in years.

I tried the you cook and i clean deal, they always find a way to miss doing their chore while getting mad if you miss yours.
Shit I hate the most is noise. My last roomate never went out besides to work. He sat there playing video games all day and night. Apparently you can't play games with no sound or headphones, but even worse is his friend comes over and its constant shouting and excitment about some game. Guy left his dishes in living room. Never shovelled snow or put out garbage. I basically sleep at home between work, i am never there. Then he said the house had a "bad vibe" and was moving, he posted that on FB without actually saying anything to the people he lived with. I was like dude that TV you are playing the games on is mine, the couch you are sitting on is mine, the beer you are drinking is mine the table it is sitting on is mine. I moved all the living room into the garage as a last months fuck you note to him and found a better room mate in a week. 
PS OP you are lucky you can get an apt for 500 bucks, that is a steal man.

That's how horrible it can be and I've lived in tons of different houses with all kinds of different people and after a few months it always SUCKS. If this people are close friends of yours and you want to keep em that way then DON'T move in with em.


Been there done that I moved in with a close friend and after all was said and done it took like 20 years for us to be friends again.Then again his cunt future x wife had a lot to do with it.

Its a win/lose kinda situation living with roomates. I still pick up alot of slack but they are getting better. You really can have a lot of fun, and you will learn alot of things. I love learning things so I say go for it!:peace:Keep your head up the whole time though:sunny:, it can get rough if there gets to be any ego around lol

Good vibrations!

Living alone is much better man.

Only positive of having room mates is having company at dinner time.
