You have a kind heart. But I must apologise for my bad writing. I was attempting to make a hypothetical point. My wife is very much alive.

So... basically... they're all female versions of Allen, himself?

I humbly suggest they get one of these for the chilliest situation of all:

My favorite is that over the decades Mr Bouchie and I have actually narrowed these conversations down to one word prompts. So to take Timbales conversation:

Here's a typical example with me and my husband while watching a tv show.

Easy peasy. Most married couples don't remember the operation, but I put it all together.

I don't think this is exclusive to intimate relationships either. My best friend of nearly 20 years and I do this to each other all the time. She'll forget a detail, or I'll forget the name of a band. We've never really fooled around but we're practically like an old married couple. I suppose you could say we're…

I'm gonna go ahead and posit the cognitive enmeshment extends beyond memory systems. My SO refuses to develop any kind of useful co-/navigational skills because "you are so much better with directions and when you aren't here I have my smartphone."

I will say, somewhat related to this, I feel like doing pub trivia every week has made my and my partner's relationship (specifically communication between us) a lot better. It's basically 4 hours every week where we're doing collective memory exercises similar to the ones in the study, and especially since we started…

One (1) pillow. Please make sure this pillow is functional and not decorative because there is a difference and sometimes you get yelled at for getting pizza sauce on something that cost $19.99 and money doesn't just grow on trees, Mark, okay? People work all day to have nice things and you're going to need to take…

So a source article says "there is no law that specifies how old a child has to be before he or she can go somewhere unsupervised. It's done on a case-by-case basis." But she had to pay $4,000 bond to get out of jail. For not breaking a nonlaw that doesn't exist. Hmm.

"Numerous sex offenders living in the vicinity of the park"

I'll never forget putting "Cornflake Girl" on the jukebox at a bar with a bunch of drunk women in their 30s. It went like this:

Laika's Boxtrolls set up a bug truck offering out free crickets and fried tarantulas.

I disagree. Yes, the "POW, BOOM!!" megaton emotional moments were in the cutscenes, but a lot of my attachment to Ellie and Joel came from all the banter as they roamed around, or when I was forced to frantically snipe people or mash buttons to protect one or the other.

So it's a movie where Maise Williams follows around a gruff dude who doesn't really like her at first, but grudgingly comes to accept her while they travel across the countryside looking for a safe place for her that they'll never actually find?
