I kinda want a commune house. The next house I buy will probably be a split bedroom design so that I can ideally share with a single female friend.
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

Trust my rage
Laura, that's is 100% right on for me too. I'm a great advocate for other but suck at it for myself.
Mabelle, I love my commune. It actually has freed me to date, even if the date is not a dude I want to marry/help raise my kids. My kids are doing great, I have lots of fun and company at home, and dating is just for fun.

That all sounds so wonderful, Stephanie! Good to read.

That sounds awesome! I want my sister to make a commune, she's joked about it, but not in Indiana.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Me too! It sounds wonderful. My BFF and I have talked seriously about buying a house with two master suites or something that we can share. In Nashville, I had a big house, and there were always three or four people living with me, and I liked it. We were all introverts, so it worked. I like living alone, but it does get lonely. And scary, sometimes.

I have a friend who formed a co-housing community with her friends that's pretty communal. They're all around retirement age but not ready for a retirement home. And they're all over yard work and cleaning gutters. So they designed and built (via contractor) an apartment building with a bunch of handicapped accessible one-bedroom apartments, each with a small kitchen and balcony. There's also a larger communal kitchen, several bed/bath spaces that they can reserve for visitors, gaming and hang-out areas, etc. It's near a bus hub and in a walkable part of town, as well as near a hospital. It's all very deliberate and well considered. I wouldn't mind doing something like that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, that sounds like a dream to me!

Adult dorm, man. That is what I want.

I would love that.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
