Maybe deep cleaning of the apartment just doesn’t matter to him as much as you. It doesn’t mean he expects you to do it

Did you not see what you did there? You completely missed the point! In one sentence you admit he told you he didn’t notice it. And in the next sentence you assume he DID notice it and just expected you to do it.

I think the biggest issue with this”division of labor” thing is a problem of differing expectations. One spouse might have a higher expectations, and is frustrated when their partner seems ok with a lower standard. This applies to everything: laundry, meals, kids schoolwork, dirty dishes, pet care, social life, etc.

It’s only mysterious if “Stairway to Heaven” was still playing on the airplane radio.

While having an activity is fine for most people, make sure that you don’t require everyone to participate. Some people prefer parties when they can hang out on the fringes and observe, then join in for short periods of time.

Worst movie title ever. Oh my dear Gerard... what has become of you???

2 types of videos do it for me. Massage videos and wood working videos. I actually LIKE woodworking, but watching someone do it is just so relaxing. Massage videos because, well, it’s massage.

It really also depends on the location. In our suburban area, I’ve never had any wait for the few times we’ve visited the emergency room.

You know, I was going to comment that dad’s need an app like this too. But then I realized that, as I get older, I really find it harder to tolerate people for any length of time. So I guess that would cut into the need for ‘friends’ :)

Hate to be a downer, but back up to what? Other drives that will eventually fail? Or media that will degrade? Or cloud services that get hacked or go out of business?

So.... I can’t get one for just me?

Oops, thanks!

I’ve done this before and they do look nice. But please do be careful with the cylindrical bottles. If they tip over, they will roll and spill flammable liquid everywhere.

Just a warning on the NSFW language in the video. Doesn’t really bother me but others might be surprised.

Well, if you REALLY need it now, sure, it’s better to just go to the store now. But in our house, we go grocery shopping once a week. If I notice on Saturday that we are almost (but not completely) out of laundry detergent, and I forgot to put it on the list for Friday’s shopping jaunt, it might be easier just to hit
