peanut butter is my go to

I can only eat bananas if they're like 40% green. No more and no less.

Getting to know you
 

I clean my house or hotel room before the maid comes.
Yep, I am that guy. Haha!

I do that too!!! Haha :)

I could SOOO get behind a setup like that...

I don't like flip flops. They are noisy and I don't like having a toe wedgie.

I think living apart in a committed relationship would work well for me. Living with someone 24/7 has a negative effect on me. I can be completely committed and live apart. I want to sign up for that. :)

I kinda want to start a thread on this so we can talk about it! I'd love to hear more!

Good idea says the one who has never started a thread!

It's done!! Now tell me all your beeswax!

I think it's totally brilliant and so healthy to be that in touch with your personal needs, and respectful of each others. I feel like that's the best of both worlds. You're close enough that you can be together whenever you want for as long as you want and then have your space to retreat to with no hard feelings. Sign me up!

I sort of did this with a semi-distance relationship for almost four years. The "part time together" worked well for both of us as we both liked our space, but the distance between us was too great. We had trouble being able to really keep our relationship building and merging as neither of us were going to be relocating. We "lived together" pretty much every weekend and then were an almost 4 hour drive apart during the week. For me, I'd want my living apart partner to be close... in their own space.

I think something like this probably is why my parents stayed together. They always lived together but their entire working lives they worked opposite schedules. My mom worked all day while my dad was home and my dad worked all night while my mom was home. She panicked when he retired because she wasn't sure what to do with him so she made him build a wood shop (he's a woodworker/handyman) in the back yard so he would keep busy out of the house and he wasn't allowed to retire until the shop was finished being built.

lol I dont like them either but its for different reasons... I am missing My left bug toe so it makes it very hard to wear flip flops.lol

I will never get this nor do this.....LMAO

I don't like it when people get moody with me, it pisses me off and makes me in a foul mood.

I dislike people that run hot and cold!

You know the type that falls all over you one day, and then the next wouldn't spit on you if you were on fire:fastdraq:

I'm a pillow queen, in so many ways .... there's no such thing as too many pillows. I add to my pillow collection as often as I can. And, just like collecting pillows, I collect scarfs. Some I wear (a black silk gold embroidery thread scarf from Japan), or I have lots of big scarfs that are batik, or silk, or cotton silk screened prints that I drape over windows or room furnishings. I also like unusual umbrellas, too. Some I use as decorations, others I use when it rains. :)

I hate to show my ignorance BUT are pillows mainly just a femme thing? I assume they are mainly for show/decoration/decor cause you all seem to take em off at night I've noticed:giggle:

I have no idea, really. But I do know that I do love pillows and buy more of them, whenever I can. I recently bought a pillow from an femme artist friend, which was absolutely beautiful. She took a photograph of an huge Emerald butterfly. It's simply gorgeous to have that pillow in my pillow collection. :)

I am a cancer and have lived near water all my life! And I mean within walking distance of the water!

Lake Superior in my hometown, Lake Michigan in Wisconsin, Alki Beach in Seattle, and now Puget Sound/ Discovery Bay here!

But I can prolly count the time I have actually walked down and sat and enjoyed it on one hand and have fingers left over!

I love the panoramic view of Seattle, from the penthouse suite of the tallest building downtown. I'll never forget the blue hour, watching the pale green-yellowish sun sink into the myriad layers of blue to dark blue clouds and watching the ferries sail across the stormy Elliot bay. That was about three years ago now, for my friends 40th wedding anniversary. All that to say, that Seattle is my favorite city in the Pacific Northwest.

Second only to..... Fraiser. *lol* :eyebat:

I have to side step my advocacy for the living apart thing to remember that I did have a really good living together relationship for one long chunk of time. We were together 10 years and lived together, really well, for 9 1/2 years. Even when we were separating we did better than most as far as stopping living together went.

Now I think I've gotten just too set in my ways- but I suppose I should keep in mind that I've seen and experienced it working with the right person. Plus we had a pretty big house to spread out in.

I prefer 90's Country music.

Yes, they are for show. I take mine off at night, too!

Hm. I have six pillows on the bed. 4 are in active use and two are, well, the cats would say they are in active use for them. Two go under my head. One small one for snuggling. Then I have that "husband" prop up pillow which is for reading and such in bed and then gets tossed on the floor.

I have four pillows two for me and two for a guest. No decorative pillows in my bed. Haha!

I grew up with a mom who was a waitress and not only do I wipe down the table with my napkin, I stack the plates, put all the silverware on the top plate and put the glasses next to them.

Yup Throw Pillows? We Butches Don't Need No Stinkin Throw Pillows"....

But But But isn't that just flour and water? LOL

*stinkeye* its an ART

Its done when the firebutches show up....:fireman:

.....:giggle:....
