Depends on how much money you put in.

Yeah. But more often I have made mistakes, then come back later to say it was a mistake. I issue corrections a lot. It’s harder to make that connection when in a heated argument.

Cheating is complicated. Yeah some people just will, they are fooling themselves when they say they won’t. Some people find it sexy, they literally want to cheat, they think it’s hot. Others will if the situation gets extreme, people in dead bedroom situations who want to keep their family together and make the calculation (or miscalculation) that cheating is less damaging than divorcing. I worked with old people when I was younger, my bosses were old Spanish people who married for business reasons but had lovers, they did not love each other in a romantic way.

I’d say that as divorce becomes easier to get, marriage more based on love rather than alliance and monogamy less required, there is probably less cheating. But it won’t ever be zero.

If you are asking is cheating universal? No. It’s not.

I grew up with the kids of the original set of Cuban refugees and thought it was because they were the rich people fleeing Castro. So they were already aligned with the right here,they like the idea of being on the upper side of a class divide.

The newer ones may just be anti -abortion, there are a lot of those “single issue voters” everywhere not just here.

Nah, it’s the fates. One to spin, one to measure, one to cut.

Walk against the traffic, bike with the traffic.

I am a parent of adults and really just want them to meet their own standards for themselves. My mom was the same. Sure I’d like grandkids, but not to the point I would ask! Their lives are for them to live.

If you are asking about little kids, it’s because they are exhausting. We went out to get tacos and there was the cutest little boy running around yelling “va! va!”. How delightful for us but I’m sure his mom was tired of it, it was 8pm. I am sure she would be happy if he would just sit down and eat now.

Not if you already know how to drive, no. My kid who was motivated to use my car learned easily, and I learned it in a day when the rest of the people I was with were too drunk to drive.

But learning to drive in a new country? And manual at the same time? That seems more difficult. Can you practice here first? Does anyone you know drive stick?

Diet coke & cocktails, and potato chips (crisps and fries both) though I am moderate with all.

Sloth, I guess - I’m physically active, but so lazy in some ways, wake up when I wake up, want people to come to my house, I don’t want to go to theirs, want to live close to everything so I don’t have to travel, don’t work as hard as I could at work, don’t try to move up.

Sex. Every day at least once.

Reading is my escape, but I don’t think it’s a vice.

I can read a map (and hate letting the car navigate) but map has to be aligned with the world. Before the cell phone, I used to spread the map out on the ground, with north pointing north.

My mom said “never learn to sew. You will look at clothes and say ‘no way I am buying that, I can make it’ and then you won’t make it, and you will have nothing to wear”.

I did sew costumes for my kids for Halloween, stuff that doesn’t have to last, but get what she was saying.

I do, however, cook much better than she did and am not sorry, still like going out to eat. And can make cocktails better than most I’d get at a bar but still find joy in going out for a drink. I think she was right about clothes though, they aren’t an experience like going out to dinner.

My kids love chili, with or without meat. Especially if it has hominy or corn. And are crazy about “mushroom sauce” for pasta, saute a truly astonishing amount of mushrooms then pour bottled spaghetti sauce over. Like they want more mushrooms than pasta just about.

But if you are looping through all of these, there is not much repetition, right?

I cook most of our meals. My kids would eat ma po tofu every day I think. Husband asks for pierogi and sausage and sauerkraut all the time. Youngest would eat homemade macaroni and cheese probably every day. Yellow rice and chicken with black beans is always well received, as are bean and cheese simple burritos.

Oh no it’s my dog!

I don’t understand the mismatch, how can one be interested in a one night stand with someone who hates one night stands? Like, how did you get this far in without that coming up already?

I don’t think your approach to sex is wrong, at all, nothing wrong with needing casual sex, I just don’t understand how you ended up in this situation, if you don’t like her in even a friendship way how did it get this far?

I don’t know if you are joking but fresh orange juice, strong cold brew, and fizzy water is really good. I thought it would be awful but it’s delicious.

A hori-hori, a knife shaped for digging and cutting both, and often one side has measurement lines too. Ever since I got one a few years ago I have not been without one. Dog destroys it? I buy another. Kids lose it? I buy another. Just such a useful tool.

And both these items make good impromptu weapons.

Mermaid hair! It’s awesome!
