Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

[Thomas Shey]

I'm 52 years old and still live in the house my father built the year before I was born. I've been constantly repairing it since I was a child. Nobody needs to move on more than I do...

Challenge accepted.

I'm 68 and my parents bought this house before I was born (it was built 8 years before, but I don't believe they bought it immediately; I'd have to dig out the deed to check).

(Though you could argue about the years I lived away when going to college.)

This month it's 53 years since my family moved into this rental townhouse that I still live in. I'm 'last man standing' in this place. It's home and I have no desire to move on

Well, I can’t hold a candle to any of this, but I'm still in my first house that my wife and I bought about 22 years ago, and that's something at least!

Hear, hear. From the way you've been posting, it's past time.

Problem is all the work its going to take to get it read to sell. I need to gut the place, I'm just so over it.

I’m in a different housing situation.

I’m 57, and live with my parents. It helps me take care of them, and the house is plenty big.

The thing is, Dad was an Army MD, so we moved around quite a bit. And we’ve been in this house since 1998. It’s the longest ANY of us have lived in ANY house- an odd feeling.

My folks have no plans to move ever again. And TBH, I don’t know that I will, either unless outside forces dictate otherwise.

The great thing about lightning-rod threads is they give me gobs of people to add to my ignore list.

I thought the great thing about lightning-rod threads is they keep the forums... grounded...

I'll show myself out.

I know I'm not supposed to tell people who are clearly unhappy with Pizza Hut to try a different pizza place, but dude, you clearly are over Pizza Hut and there are pizzerias making exactly what you are asking for.

On a real level, there are conversation-spaces which are accretion zones for people or topics that designers want to keep out of other places. No one in charge is reading the comment section at the bottom of that Huffpo or The Telegraph article, it just keeps the people who would post there from taking that energy and putting it on the site's main Facebook or Reddit page, etc.
