living with other people always involves at least some compromises that are ultimately unhealthy. even if its just one mate. but the stress levels of being able to afford anything else are just as much so. an apartment i could afford and be able to move into without first establishing a credit rating, would have even more unbearable noise levels from other people's entertainment. anything that is louder then the natural sounds outside is annoying. especially if its the human voice. i'd rather be able to hear the sounds outside, even if they were only mostly car traffic. but to live where the audible environment was actually healthy i would have to indenture myself to vehicle of some kind, to even get there. i may get myself another old junker someday if i ever have enough cash to just buy it outright, and i happen to find one that i would want when i can. a long bed cargo van preferably. i wouldn't mind living where i could hear and see trains going by all the time. i would very much prefer to. even when my wife was alive, living with her, i wasn't always able to eat as healthy as i would have liked. now, well i'd have to be always making things in front of people who i never know if they'd like any or not, and one thing i really don't like is to be wasteful, so mostly i microwave different combinations of frozen things. and i don't think i've ever had housemates who didn't smoke tobacco. my mom didn't, but my dad did. i never got started on that either. i've smoked everyone's favorite herb. but that's the only thing i ever have or cared to. my current housemates are hooka enthusiasts, trying to work up enough investment capitol to start a hooka lounge business. well that's not as bad as cig's, cause it doesn't have all the wierd chemicals in cigarette paper, but i still find wearing a dust mask helps me not cough so much. and that way they can enjoy their thing. i hear them starting to cough more and more all the time though. well they're half my age, so they can probably get away with it for another decade or so.
Not to worry, the chili mitigates the effect of the dogs. d-: Banana splits are quite healthful though. Fruit, nuts, dairy...
oops...i was thinking about the what did you cook today thread and thought I was posting there.....nah.....salad is not unhealthy....thank goodness....i could live on them....all kinds....
