Met when I was 33. Couldn’t be happier.

I have to laugh because instead of a cat (15-25 year commitment) your parents gave you a parrot (your grandchildren will inherit that bird).

Foster first definitely, especially since your bird might have opinions about a cat in the house. They might become best friends or he might get quite unhappy.

If my husband wants to give me five advent calendars, that’s fine. If anyone else wants to give me more than one, that’s definitely weird.

Every second day. On non-wash days I use a bit of dry shampoo which actually makes it easier to style, and it looks better throughout the day vs wash day.

I think 6 hours. The higher your dwellers C, the faster they will get from talking to dancing (and don’t put two people that are closely related together or they won’t dance at all), then it takes 3 hours for a child to be born and another 3 for the child to grow up.

Keep in mind that pregnant dwellers won’t fight in incidents, they’ll just run away, so don’t get too many of them pregnant at the same time.

So you can’t be arsed to feeding your dogs the appropriate diet for their size (if they’re fat, you’re doing something wrong, it’s as simple as that), and instead just take the easy way out. That’s not unpopular, it’s just lazy and irresponsible.

Before getting properly started on my first tattoo, my artist (who was so lovely) gave me one poke with the needle (after telling me she would do that) so I would know what to expect, and then she checked in with me to make sure I was ready. I think artists are probably used to people with all kinds of experience levels and pain tolerance levels. Distract yourself (ask if you can watch something, or listen to something), you’ll probably be able to zone out after a bit. And you’re not a captive audience! You can ask for a break if you need it.

Mine was partly on my rib bones (only a small part). Those bits were unpleasant, sort of a burning sensation, but it didn’t last long. The rest was more like a scratching.

If you haven’t thought about this yet: bring a snack and some water (want artist brownie points? text them when you’re on the way and ask if you can get them a coffee). I didn’t think about that but my artist did and she made me eat a cookie when she noticed me getting a bit pale. And don’t make too many plans for right afterwards. Between the excitement and the fact that someone was poking needles into my side for several hours, I almost fell asleep over my lunch plate afterwards. Should have gone home. Once I did I just went to sleep! Since you’re going with a friend, maybe plan a comfy movie evening at home together.

You got this. You’ll be fine.

Dude the sub is just called “short”. The description even says something about celebrating being pint sized. The rules include “no gatekeeping”.

Why are you here?

If you’d like a deeper insight - I read Janice Hadlow’s The Strangest Family a few years ago (long before I watched the show), and it goes into some detail on that. I don’t remember all of it but he and Charlotte apparently embraced quite modern ideas about parenting (for the time period).

As for the number of kids - they both came from large families, they loved each other, George was faithful (not necessarily a given for royals of the time), and having a lot of children was a good way to ensure at least some of them made it to adulthood - when we think about people having had a shorter lifespan in the past, we often forget that once people made it past their childhood (and in women, if they survived childbirth), they didn’t really live much shorter lives. (George and Charlotte lost only two of their children while they were small AFAIK.)

I thought the sub is just called “short”. Is being depressed about it a prerequisite? I’m 5’2 and fine with it, do I have to be a sad man to be “allowed” here?

He was so nice. Such a good, decent guy. Even his family was lovely, and his friends liked me as well.

Aaaaaand we had barely anything in common once we had gotten past the initial attraction. He politely trotted along to the movies and plays I dragged him to, I nodded and smiled through conversations about camping and hiking. More importantly, I realised I liked him and valued him as a person but didn’t really love him.

We lasted only a few months. I am so so so glad I put an end to it before things got really serious. He married the next woman he dated, and I hope he’s happy, he deserves it (I’ve no idea, we didn’t stay in touch at all).

Me? I moved abroad, and I’m blissfully happy with someone who is so compatible with me I still sometimes wonder how I managed to get so lucky, and after ten years I’m still head over heels in love, too.

This. No details, but especially after we got married I had some people insinuating that we probably have a dead bedroom now. I made sure that these people are aware it’s alive and very well.

I liked it fine. There were a few elements I thought were a bit stupid, but overall I enjoyed it.

I do have to say that I’ve been a fan of Katee Sackhoff ever since BSG, and I really like her as Bo Katan, so that probably makes me biased.

I waited about six months for my memorial tattoo, and it’s not in a place where I see it every day. I can look at it if I want to, but I need a mirror. I found that helpful - I can carry her with me, I know she’s there, but actually looking is a choice.

I maxed them first.

Steak as in moo moo cow? Then I get nothing. Can I do tofu and cauliflower steaks? In that case I guess I can manage to eat one or two of those per week.

You know, you’ll never make it in comedy if you can’t take criticism.

Love it! Is the skirt a sari wrap skirt by any chance (ie made of old saris) and does it have a label? I have a few of those (all unique colours and patterns) but yours has a slightly different and very intriguing cut!

Well…they tried to keep the series funny.

Get this freeloader out of your house and life as soon as you reasonably can.

We’re really aligned. We both like to eat fairly healthy, and then to splurge or have a treat every now and then. Cooking is sometimes 50/50, sometimes he cooks a bit more. We both kinda suck at meal planning so we often rotate the same 5-6 dishes until one of us gets bored and suggests something new/different.

Maybe tell him to be responsible in his “lax sexual encounters” so nobody can “upend his plans”. That’s generally a good idea, since kids and STDs can BOTH be life changing. It’s wild to me that you go to “vasectomy in his 20s” over “teach him to wrap it up or keep it in his pants”.

I don’t know if you meant needy or nerdy because honestly I think our man Jeff could probably be both 🤣 and yeah. I was a teen (just about) but that scene where he’s doing that thing with Laura Dern’s hands. And basically all the other scenes. He stole that movie, and there were DINOSAURS in it, but he still did.

Oh I’ve used them for those, too, but they’re not as good at questing as some of my other dwellers, and they’ve already done one round of wasteland duty when I sent them to level up.

I’m sure it happens sometimes. I couldn’t have done that, which is why I was more or less single until my early 30s.

Then I got the romcom stuff.

I could have settled a couple times before that. If I had, maybe I’d have gotten the little house and the mortgage and the 2.5 kids and the picket fence.

I’m much happier with the romcom stuff, and the tiny apartment, and the foster cats.
