In other words, what normal friends do.

Pot-lucks, anyone? We do it all the time, with the simple rule: bring something that you would like to eat yourself. Then, if there’s nothing you like, it’s your own damned fault...

What i always looked for was uniqueness. Which i realise is a bit flimsy, because it’s so damn subjective. But typical profiles are a dime a dozen and i’m just so not interested.

For example, selfies in cars? NO. I absolutely will not contact anyone who has a car selfie as their main profile photo. If it’s buried…

Having been stood up by a second person I met and chatted to on a dating site just this morning, I really couldn’t care right now.

I always stop and think “Why did this person put this picture up?”

Nah, dodged that bullet. Didn’t much appeal to me anyways. Still riding high on XCOM 2 at the moment.

Back when I used to buy yogurt I’d often eat “Greek” (it’s just strained) yogurt with olive oil (especially if I couldn’t find fat-free) and some vegs, pine nuts, whatever. Makes a great high-protein addition to your lunch (or dinner or whatever).

I go for fresh veg on top of my yogurt, grilling seems like such a hassle.

Um, why not address these issues now?

This is so so so true. I started using whole dry milk powder in a King Arthur Flour recipe that called for it in Pain De Mie and have never looked back. Now it shows up in a lot of my baking, but also, it’s delicious to add to butter to drizzle on top of hot popcorn. I call it Butter+ (because my husband always asks…

Way too much stuff for a simple day hike. Two lights? For a *day* hike? A water filter? Two bottles but no hydration bladder? Change the title to challenging excursion and I’ll get on board.

It may be over kill but I rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

Where’s your mosquito repellent?

I credit this method with having a huge hand in me paying off my debt. I still use it.

All the spare bills go into a cash “slush fund” that I also contribute to (in cash) monthly, which covers gifts, pet food, and other uncommon expenses. That way it’s there for if I come up short one week but also helps me to not use…

For myself, I also found that I spend less using my debit card instead of the credit card. It’s not really reasonable to carry around large amounts of cash these days, but I tend to moderate my spending if I know it’s coming straight out of my bank account.

As long as your partner can handle it, yes. In the end, my ex-wife couldn't. And that was that with that.

It is important to note, though, that sometimes divorce IS the right thing to do. Sometimes people just grow apart naturally. Sometimes some... personality traits that lay dormant (or you didn't know how to watch for) surface and intensify after a while. Sometimes you shouldn't have got married in the first place.

The key to s successful relationship? Time apart.
