MIDLIFE CRISIS INTERNET FRIENDS™
As requested, I set up a little print run on Everpress here. It's a print on demand campaign that is open for 21 days and then prints and distributes the full order in one go. Printed on the best quality tees they have available - it's 100% organic cotton unisex tshirt so hopefully the organic cotton eases the pain of your midlife crisis.
Fyi, I've set the cost set to the minimum so no profit in this :)
And Maquito, I've made the logo bigger as requested ;)- why down vote?shapesalad
- ^prolly cause real MLC would insist on Threadless or AA.MrAbominable
- Also, THANK YOU, Pedromendez!MrAbominable
- I ordered 3. The extra two will help keep me warm when i'm homeless.MrAbominable
- Haha, no worries MrA :) I actually set up a threadless store too but it seemed a mess in comparison to everpress.pedromendez
- ¯\_( ͡☉ ͜ʖ ͡☉)_/¯pedromendez
- Dude! You rock! I feel guilty about the logo comment, but thank you so much!!!maquito
- One one hand I want this really bad. On the other I would never wear it in public. And my wife would roll her eyes every time she saw it. A real dilemma.monospaced
- Man up! Wear it with pride!
Heck! Or you can frame it! It's a piece of art!pango - mono, you and your wife have no humor? :)NBQ00

Turning 44. Some days it's hard to fight the feeling my best working days are behind me... But just because you're not getting it from the work doesn't mean you can't get it elsewhere. I took up the drums 2 years ago and got playing with some friends. We just started putting the stuff we're doing out there... we got some positive local reviews and even got played on the local university station. never under estimate the small victories.
- Nice! Sounds like you're having fun and finding other branches to venture out on. Keep it up!capn_ron
- This is actually awesome. Keep going!Gucci
- Fwiw, my 84 year old boss just retired in March. Still really smart, and doing good work. Just keep at it.section_014

personally I'm looking forward to the day when I cam devote most of my time to my chosen craft or art.
Like an old Japanese master.
- I mean really devote my time, no thinking of pussy or anything lol._niko
- what kind of art/craft do you have in mind?bezoar
- I studied Sculpture in Art school and haven't touched it since graduation sadly so I'd start there again_niko
- You can do it, niko. ya know, a little time everyday etc. and still have time for late night poon.bezoar

Met with a recruiter yesterday at The SoHo house. Not sure if anything will come of it but her company is expanding back into NYC and she's hungry so that's a good sign.
We had never met before. She described herself as "all in black. with a ponytail." To which I replied, "silver glasses. aging hipster."
Anyway, I still miss Pastis and Florent. The Meatpacking District used to be proper scrappy. Aging. Hipster.
- The Meat Packing District hasn't been very scrappy for about 15 years or so. And sadly, Tortilla Flats closed about 6 months ago.CyBrainX

joining this thread just for the t-shirt.
kidding, made some life-altering changes in my life, only for it to all fall apart in a matter of days. not sure if i should laugh or cry anymore. staying positive and picking myself up off the ground has been the hardest won't lie.- I've never done something perfect on the first, or even 20th, try, but that 21st time,..
Recovery can take some time,
maybe just stay down a few days.lemmy_k - keep at it, less fucks given and it'll be finerenderedred
- i'm def staying low and looking inward for a while. hoping less fucks given starts creeping in quickly as well.sea_sea
- sea_sea, the effort of change frees us from the false safety of monotony. embrace the unknown for the opportunity it will provideimbecile
- Thank you, I so appreciate your words. I am slowly understanding that now. Letting go of resistance is the only way to flow down the stream. <3sea_sea
- I feel you have a good soul sea_sea, you'll be alright. i'm sure you'll figure it out. :)Bennn
- thanks benn, already feeling a little better as the light creeps in. xosea_sea

"You’re not getting younger. Sorry, but it’s true. If you don’t start taking the time to pursue your dreams, you might find yourself at the end of your life with nothing to show for it but a lot of Facebook posts and a bunch of TV shows you just had to watch."
I dont remeber where I take this quote.
- Downvotes? WTF? Making a big effort to read instead of TV. In fact, I'm outta here for today.lemmy_k

getting a house ready to sell and still living in it, contractor over promising and under delivering, house has been in shambles for a month, eating like shit cause the kitchen is fucked and working my ass off to clear it out to show. wife watches hgtv and thinks this shit is a breeze. every weekend is hard fucking work, yard, painting, packing, cleaning up dust after the workers leave. and still delivering at my job with the normal internal and client bullshit. i am loosing it.
- hang in there man! Keep an eye on the mountain topBennn
- Tryin, BennnBonSeff
- i love it when they say "this is what WE should do", meaning you make it happen. take it easy man...renderedred
- Thanks. I am just trying to hold shit down, but when I break I feel like an asshole.BonSeff
- Pile on a one year old and five year old which i would much rather be spending time with.BonSeff
- That sucks. Try to get a list going so you can see an end to it, don't let the wife keep moving the goal posts.eryx
- Yo da man Bon! A real man steps up, you’re showing that.moldero
- sounds more like a first world problemutopian
- We're building a new house, and yesterday after one of those "house renewal" shows my wife decides to change the intire kitchen layout, windows includeddmay
- "wife watches hgtv and thinks this shit is a breeze" - sorry, that made me smile. It's what my partner thinks about EVERYTHING I do, work-wise or around houseNairn
- Thanks for the words of encouragement on my 1st world problem. Yesterday was a fucked up day. Thanks for allowing me to vent.BonSeff
- You mean your place doesn't magically change after a commercial break? Hang in there, dude!desmo

I am looking for part time woodworking gig. Tired of unfulfilling work. I will work two jobs until I can support my family making stuff from trees.

Figure I have 3-4 good years left in this field before becoming complacent. Strong draw to the east coast to open a pizza shop in a tourist town. Bad idea? slice salary in 1/4 most likely, but increase family time by 1/2. Probably live mortgage-free with good savings as house prices are about 1/4-1/3 or what we'd sell for here.

Mid 40's here and try as i might i still can't fucking tell the difference between parsley & coriander!
- Coriander has a lot more taste and aroma!nbq

- My local Turkish shop has bunches of them right next to each other and it fucking gets me every time.Nairn
- Parsley has wedgier leafs, coriander leafs are rounderdmay
- ^ Nairn....mine too!! I've resorted to asking my kids to go into the shop and buy it cos it doesn't seem so dense for a child to be asking which is whichdee-dubs
- huh? there is a massive difference, parsley being darker green for a start.shapesalad

Must admit, sometimes the idea of getting rid of everything in my life and moving to a different country does appeal.
