You are an adolescent. So am I. As is most any other individual whom lives with their family supporting them in some way. It doesn't need to be financial, it could just be living with them. Adolescence ends when one becomes fully self dependent.
I disagree with this dead, though I respect your argument. Here's the deal…I'm South Asian (from South India). Our culture promotes parents living with their children during their adult lifetimes. My dad is deceased (RIP) but my Mom splits her time between my sisters' family (also in The Bay Area, on The Penninsula) and Oakland (my home). Why ? Because I could never tell Mom to go find her own apartment, though she can well afford it (she still works and makes damn good money). That said, I love having my Mom around. She's not a burden at all, and in fact, she's my best friend. But I'm not in the least financially dependent upon her -- I make my own (good) living -- she lives with us rent free. She's my Mom. When I lived in Texas & Colorado (previous life), Mom and/or Dad did not live with me. There was a period where I lived alone. What I'm saying is -- living with parent(s) does not make you an adolescent. Simon can relate to this -- as likely -- his own mom will be living with him his whole life long -- it's part of the Asian culture.

@shubbz- yeah, i get what you mean. very similar in the latino/mexican culture as well. i just meant to post that as a 'pat-on-the-back + you're not alone here Simon; i'm young too' but i see exactly where you are coming from and what you are saying.
@giles- sorry for causing a commotion here, i didn't mean to offend with my original post and i def didnt want you to feel like your cause wasn't falling apart due to posts like my previous post in this thread.
@simon- Hey man, i'll pm you.

Major Brownie Points ! Guess who saw me at work today, on a beautiful, sunny Oakland Sunday ? My VP ! No shit, my VP and his wife were here. In fact, my VP knocked on my door to say "Hi". I told him that I was working on my upcoming presentation. Here's the deal : I am no brown-noser. My work ethic and accomplishments speak for themselves. I never told colleagues that I was going to be here this weekend…As a professional, I just get my job done -- no matter how many hours it takes. But it's awesome that my VP caught me in the act on the weekend !

Ha, having to work at the weekend is tough - especially on a beautiful day - great that your VP happened upon you! Here's hoping that we'll be seeing a random announcement soon about your next promotion…

I changed my mind about the Crescent Down Works Navy Blue Italian down vest. Reason ? Well, I rethought the whole thing…and I don't even like "puffy" down garments on me. I wouldn't buy an Iron Heart one for myself either. People who are 2 inches tall don't look good in that shit. It's kinda like what DrPat said about being tall n' lanky, and wearing the IH hickory-striped pants. I wouldn't wear plaid or checks either, for the same reason (notice that all my IH shirts are solidly colored). So ! I grabbed South Willard just before shipping and got a full refund already. Now, I've pinged Giles about the Ladies Medium IH Denim Jacket instead. Hope there's one in stock ! I've already tried the Ladies Small and it was too small -- so I returned it to Giles. And the Men's Small is too big. So hopefully the Ladies Medium will be perfect, and moreover, it'll be in stock !
