Ugh, I’m so jealous! These all look amazing.

You’re my hero.

I’m really excited about this! I saw a community theatre production about her a few years back, and it was quite, quite fascinating ... I wonder if the script will resemble that? Definitely a story to emphasize that dreams come true ...

You’re really onto something there, when you say it has to be an app other people actually use ... this has been my experience coming from a small city where people only really use plentyoffish (got some bad experiences there ...) and now tindr/grindr. No luck locally with eHarmony when I’d tried it on a free weekend,…

Bought this last week,

I’d love to hear some of your stories about it!

I’m not sure if I like Clue or M. Cycles better at this point (have been tracking with both). M. Cycles seems to have better descriptors for periods. But Clue is not bad either.

So I’m dying to know ... what are the results? Will you be moving abroad?

Also Miranda. With the short-form ‘Miri’. Knew I’d think of it belatedly, lol.

Names are such a big responsibility! I like Ivy, Evaline (“Evvy”), Catalina, and Seraphina. If you wanted to keep a theme to the middle names you could go for something like ‘Joy’ or ‘Charity’. ‘Lace’ might be nice too, since it rhymes with ‘Grace’ ... an extra strand of connection for the two girls.

I feel like I’ll…

Hahaha, this is my life too. Except my heart-shaped box is filled with the red Lindors (the very best Lindors, I argue). My cat would like to assure both of us humans that this is the best life, and we’re serving our life purposes as cat-warmers and pamperers admirably.

What’s your favourite middle school love story that you witnessed, and why? Dances always are the place to watch those unfold ...

Are you talking to him now? Are you connected by Skype or Line (my phone call/texting app of choice) or email or anything? Has he given you indications that he’s open to this becoming something more serious, or did it have a fling feel? If you ask these questions honestly, it might help you make your decision.

My family has always used the trick of making a saran-wrap funnel V-ing into the wine glass, and securing the top with an elastic band. They can get in, and get drunk, but they can’t get out ...

That would make the best pissing contest!!! I miss pissing contests ...

I just want to say, thank you for talking about this. I’ve really appreciated reading through all of the comments laid out here.

There’s a Forensic Files episode ... I saw it last week. Ahh, holiday programming.

My fiance is a Japanese national, and I’m a Canadian who lived in the country for a few years ... men taking on womens’ last names does happen, and has happened traditionally. It’s a lineage thing. Men will take the woman’s family name if she’s the oldest among daughters, or the only child, and is responsible for…

You’ve got this!

I’d prefer “all KAN-all-YE faithful”, just for the rhythm and flow of it. But either way, I’m not the intended consumer of that sweater.
