Basement...
Master Bathroom ....

Big shower still a novelty, huh?

I know that feeling. Transitioning to living together has been easier than I thought it would be, but still not at all easy.

Yes ... for at least the last 10 years and probably another 8 years a bit before that ... (went back home at age 29, head down .. begging for free lodgings as no money

).

I like it ..... I could not do the "room mate" thing again .. been there, done that, got the tshirt ....

I dont mind my own company, and when I want, BN people are usually always hanging around to yap with!!

Oh yeah, l love living alone and did or many years .......the house stays clean, eat less meals, as mentioned before "clothing optional", turning up the heat is not an issue....did I mention the place stays clean.

More friends come to visit.

The 10 months I lived in KC was in reality the only time I ever didn't live with my parents, a girlfriend or a roommate. I kinda liked it but in reality either way was fine with me.

yep...500 miles..for 3 years

When I was in high school a guy on my block got married. He bought the house next door to his parents.

Mine are 40 minutes away ... I have always had a rule that there had to be at least two suburbs between me and the nearest relative

Have had several live alone periods and they were most instructional! I had time to find out and indulge my selfish passions without inconveniencing anyone else. I agree with Mel and Mal on the clothing (less is more) tip, plus no one to ask for different music or tell me that I could not pile books everywhere I needed them to be.

Though I live partnered now and am delighted to do so, we make alone time for ourselves for the preservation of sanity and for the pursuit of our own growth.
