What a nice tail your cock has!

I had a Scottish boyfriend, he visited me in Florida in the summer and I remember him saying "mind you, the heat does make ya horny, don’t it?’ (about himself) so I guess I buy it.

My kids call me Mom, step kids call me by my first name.

Oh and sometimes mama, in Spanish.

The wasted space bothers me more. If I am bringing milk for my own coffee, I decant it into a small container. If bringing lunch that needs refrigerated, I take it out of the insulated lunch bag before putting it in the refrigerator! I see huge insulated lunch bags in there, are you literally insulating it against refrigeration, and do you need to take up a cubic foot for your sandwich and apple?

It’s a little worse than that, believe it or not. That site development was abandoned in the first place because of environmental concerns. So it’s harming the Everglades, keeping it from draining as well, meaning it could actually cause worse flooding in a hurricane, FEMA funds being used to make disasters worse.

Eee I Eee I oh!

How? Flour here is up to about $7 for a 5lb bag (2.2kg) and I make 2 loaves with 1kg flour, I’m at $1.50 per loaf flour only, not counting the flour that went into the starter, or electricity or time, or other ingredients (brioche uses eggs & milk, pan de mie lots of butter, sandwich bread I usually use whole wheat and some oats and milk, a little butter or olive oil, focaccia lots of olive oil, stuff like that) . I don’t even use packaged yeast and figure my cost is likely $3-4 per loaf.

My homemade sourdough costs more than store bread, but not more than fancy sourdough bakery bread. I can’t buy flour wholesale, don’t make that much bread. But when it’s good it’s better than any bakery bread I’ve had. So, better, probably not cheaper.

Home cooked meals vs. restaurants does save money.

Gardening - most things work out cheaper than buying, though as I am a salaried worker I am not allocating labor cost.

If it were to be compared to doing 1.5x pay overtime, then working more would make more money than we could save by doing cooking and gardening, it would always work out better to spend that time at work. But then the health impact of doing all that work and always eating out would have to be factored in.

I always figured bi (or pansexual) was the default setting for humans. Most guys at least are flexible, if there is not a woman around any port in a storm, and if you weren’t raised with any conditioning it seems more normal to love individuals, not categories.

I’m guessing you are a dude. As a woman - I am usually a medium now, which makes logical sense, but sometimes need S or L, even in stuff from the same company. Or something called a 28 or 29, even though no part of me is 29" around. Sizing of clothing for women is wildly inconsistent, and even the size charts don’t help, they lie.

So I do use those recommendations.

Huh. I like both but with skin better, it’s a plus. One, I know it’s cut potato and not dried, mashed, rehydrated, etc. But also I find the texture more pleasant not less.

Ideal fries are with skin, oven fries, in duck fat.

Local community radio, monthly.

A little towards anything I read or listen to, not often but as I can I do.

Towards disasters if work is doing a fundraiser, we have a charity arm and I know where the money is going as I work in accounting.

Directly to people, again as I can. This is the biggest $ category probably. If I have cash I will give it, don’t think about trying to sort out who “deserves” it, that’s not something I can or will do. Will pick up an extra meal occasionally if there is a homeless person around. And have given space in my house occasionally, though at least once did not when I really should have, there is an occasion I regret not offering that to someones I know - I think it would have helped them get back on their feet much faster but I was worried for my safety (from my ex not the people who needed).

I don’t consider myself generous in light of what I have, but still digging out from being poor myself.

I like perfume, enjoy smelling it on others but agree, for work particularly you ought not wear one with throw. No other apect of your grooming reaches away from you like that. Wear what you like, for yourself, so that you smell good to you. Not so much that people know you are coming before you arrive. Not so much that I can’t get in the elevator with you.

I don’t think kids should get a veto but do think kids should get to voice their input and you should listen to it and address it. When I got together with my now husband, 2 years dating then we moved in together, 2 years living together before we got married. Our kids all like each other and are glad to have more family. When we first moved in together, the teenagers played beer pong and bonded, lol. The little ones were happy because they got an upstairs. It was obvious everything was working out.

No I didn’t ask the kids’ permission, but we are close and they are open with me, I trust them to tell me how they feel and oh boy they do.

I can sort of agree that someone who has to fight their natural inclinations is a better person in a way, than someone naturally “good” who doesn’t question themselves.

But drunk guys I think do show who they are. My ex was a reasonable guy for a long time but when he started drinking it all fell apart. He was mean trailer park dad when he was drunk, racist, sexist, abusive. My husband now, when he drinks too much he is just the dopey “I love you” guy.

So I’d argue that, while I absolutely agree with taking a moment before speaking, part of the point of that exercise is to train your mind to be less of an asshole, so over time you become more thoughtful. Mel Gibson does not get a pass from me, he’s old enough to know better.

I actually hate those euphemisms and tend to say “I was so sorry to hear your x died, are you doing ok?” Things like that. Just always feel like it would be so annoying to have all that “sorry for your loss” it’s so sterile.

They are not corporeal so why would they care what your body looks like? To them it is just some envelope holding you, right? Your soul I don’t think would have race, or sex, those are embodied things, skin tone being the most superficial of all.

You what now? I’ve never met anyone who wanted corn or sugar syrup if maple was available. Plenty who will accept it if it’s all that’s available though. Maple syrup is very expensive down here.

Better than any syrup is berries macerated in sugar though. On pancakes or waffles. Yum.

Did they describe the sex though? Like came up to you and, unsolicited, said “OMG my husband shot such a big load inside me!”, or did they just say they were trying to have a baby?

When someone says they are going to lunch do you say “eew, you are going to chew that food with all that saliva and then swallow it, and it’s gonna travel through your digestive system and then you are going to poop? Why are you telling me this?”

They aren’t saying that, though. It’s the equivalent of you saying “my boyfriend and I are going on a cruise.”
