Having never been anything but single,

You only have to cook if you want to.
Your mess is your own. No one will fuss at you to pick it up but you have no one to blame but yourself. It sure can get deep after a while.
You can sit up reading a book all day & all night. (Someone stop me please!)
If there's something you want to do, you only have to pay one admission.
It doesn't matter what time you get home from work--but it's awfully easy to hang around posting to Mudcat.
No one cares how late you come home--but no one knows if you made it home safely.
All decorating decisions are my own--but who needs to decorate?

Naemanson, that snoring could be an indication of sleep apnea. You really should get it checked out by a doctor!
