I love the side by side thing XD

I was going to say you have the internet, then saw your preference for physical books. Sounds like a good excuse to visit a bookshop to me ;D

Are you not home when your housemate cookis? Join them in the kitchen and learn that way :D

You get used to staying still after a while. My first set of cats and I used to move between rentals every 6 months (as I would only get 6 month leases due to not really knowing what was going to happen at any stage of my life). Then my parents bought a house in Perth and I moved into that and paid them (below market) rent instead and when we got to the 6 month mark all of us got a bit twitchy for a few days before settling down again XD

Now I don't want to move ever again it's a right pain lol [is a cranky old fart]
