If anyone else on SLAP wants to throw bricks at sprint windows in their area. Horrid cell phone reception. All the fucking time.

Sprint's reception is so bad where I live that the closest sprint store is 4 hours away so I can't even complain in person if I'd like.
Then again I have unlimited everything full LTE for 63/mo out the door. So I'll suck a little bit of Sprint dick here and there to keep my plan.

If you have cricket wireless in your area, switch to that. It uses At&t's network which is a billion times more reliable than sprint. My wife and I each get 5gb of data a month and our bill is $70 for both lines. Only place I don't have service is really rural areas in the norther part of my state. The only catch is you need to bring your own phone, and it need to be an AT&T phone or one thats unlocked. They don't really do the leasing thing that most of the other carriers are doing.

How hard is it to just up and leave to another place. I keep thinking if I have a couple grand in my savings, would up and leaving to a new place be insane or work out just fine? I definitely don't think my wife's on board but we got no kids, jobs we dislike. not a lot keeping us here. Maybe I just need to take more small vacations or something but I can't stop thinking that the worst case scenario is that i'm a waiter in a crappy apartment until I get something else. Not too bad

It's however hard finding a place to live in the new area is. My wife and I move every few years for probably the same reasons you're feeling and it really keeps life fresh and interesting. We don't have kids and aren't going to, and being able to do a total refresh whenever you feel you need one is a nice luxury. Your wife probably isn't on board because humans are still animals that feel like wherever they are is "home" and have a desire to stay there. Have a conversation with her and give her some stuff to think about. I couldn't imagine not relocating every so often. We've been in our current place for 5 years and that's the longest we've been anywhere.

I’m old but I still love exploring old and new music. It’s a matter of deciding to be open minded or letting yourself become a crotchety and stubborn old man.

Nice. We have similar tastes. I'll post a playlist of stuff thats been made in the past few years if you want to check it out. Do you use spotify, or is youtube the way to go?

My crackhead roommate is a woman and overweight to the point where she could probably kill me just by falling on me, there's no way I'm getting between her and her crack
[close]
You tell your landlord that your roommate smokes crack. Most leases, if not all, prohibit drug use and illegal activities.

Edit: I don’t advocate snitching, but that’s the easiest way. Hopefully, you don’t have kids. Personally, I would just find a new place and sublet the current one. If that isn’t an option, you can make her uncomfortable by walking around naked or smearing feces on the walls. Aside from the crack, what’s so bad that makes you want to get her evicted?
[close]
The main problem is that she's been stealing things from me and my other roommates. There's a lot of other things but that's the main one. I am probably going to have to sublet the place.

fuck that, call the cops/landlord. squeal like a piggy.. get that scumbag gone

Squealed today. She stole my curry/container and her fucking toenails are on the table I eat of. Fuck this.

kinda related thing I pondered. every apartment building I’ve lived in there’s at least one door slammer. what’s with these people? are they always pissed off or unaware of what they’re doing? to me it comes off like they are unhappy or angry.

Want to have sex but wouldn't want a stranger (sex worker)? Well try interviewing a couple of them. If one is sweet at all and you start getting a chubbo I'd say go for it. Just to unclog the pipes kinda thing.

Give some of these a shot. Almost all of these songs come from great albums (my opinion). I tried to keep it condensed, but still ended up putting 30 songs on it. I'm sure there will be some things you don't like, but hopefully theres a few bands you like and they can lead you to some more.
