I mean....that's really amazing...but no one is gonna pay you a steady salary to row a boat off cliffs. It's just not a very marketable skill.

Maybe if he was a pro kayaker or... I dunno... had an actual job, they wouldn't need multiple roomates?

Among other things they share, I'm sure.

This always cracks me up. It HAS to be Canadian dollars.

also this chick will DEFINITELY frick at least one, if not all of the "roommates". No doubt.

I recently added a redhead to the portfolio for the first time. It ended up being a level of craziness I wasn’t prepared for. Even after having dealt with stalkers in the past

I have a cousin who gets paid to do stuff like that. Kayaking, kite boarding, etc... He has a lot of sponsors and a crew follows him and friend around, when they do it. But at the end of the day, it pretty much just pays for the sport and travel. Living outside of that(not working/traveling) requires an actual job

This summer he kite boarded the entire coast of Colombia.

I don’t care if I wake up to a knife in their hands (and I have), I can’t help but be drawn like a moth to that gorgeous flame.

They’ll be the death of me

Anybody can do that.

Living after is the tricky part.

Please explain semi pro kayaking.
Are there pro kayakers?

I know several married couples here in Denver that rent an extra room or basement out to someone else. It's not looked down upon here, it's almost normal. Just the way things are here with cost of living so high.

I'm not married, but am 38 and rent my finished basement out to another guy that's only a couple of years younger (and is a UGA Dawg).

I am however, about to move in with my gf (no pics) into her condo and rent my house out entirely for a couple of years before we buy our own house together and rent both of our places out. When we do buy that house in 2-3 years, we plan to buy something we can afford with just our salaries (if not just one by then) and don't need to rent part of it out to someone.

Maybe she should tell her husband to row row row his boat to a real job.

Row row row your boat
To a new career
Unless you like your 3 roommates
