Me personally? Group dance aerobics are joyful fun classes. Group yoga classes are a very supportive and lovely environment. I do also get to work without a car, do yardwork, park far if I take a car, just try to be generally active.

It takes 6 weeks to build a habit. Just choose something you tolerate, commit to 6 weeks, and at that point you should feel better on a day you work out, than on a day you don’t.

Depends on how much money you put in.

Yeah. But more often I have made mistakes, then come back later to say it was a mistake. I issue corrections a lot. It’s harder to make that connection when in a heated argument.

Diet coke & cocktails, and potato chips (crisps and fries both) though I am moderate with all.

Sloth, I guess - I’m physically active, but so lazy in some ways, wake up when I wake up, want people to come to my house, I don’t want to go to theirs, want to live close to everything so I don’t have to travel, don’t work as hard as I could at work, don’t try to move up.

Sex. Every day at least once.

Reading is my escape, but I don’t think it’s a vice.

I can read a map (and hate letting the car navigate) but map has to be aligned with the world. Before the cell phone, I used to spread the map out on the ground, with north pointing north.

My mom said “never learn to sew. You will look at clothes and say ‘no way I am buying that, I can make it’ and then you won’t make it, and you will have nothing to wear”.

I did sew costumes for my kids for Halloween, stuff that doesn’t have to last, but get what she was saying.

I do, however, cook much better than she did and am not sorry, still like going out to eat. And can make cocktails better than most I’d get at a bar but still find joy in going out for a drink. I think she was right about clothes though, they aren’t an experience like going out to dinner.

My kids love chili, with or without meat. Especially if it has hominy or corn. And are crazy about “mushroom sauce” for pasta, saute a truly astonishing amount of mushrooms then pour bottled spaghetti sauce over. Like they want more mushrooms than pasta just about.

But if you are looping through all of these, there is not much repetition, right?

I cook most of our meals. My kids would eat ma po tofu every day I think. Husband asks for pierogi and sausage and sauerkraut all the time. Youngest would eat homemade macaroni and cheese probably every day. Yellow rice and chicken with black beans is always well received, as are bean and cheese simple burritos.

I don’t understand the mismatch, how can one be interested in a one night stand with someone who hates one night stands? Like, how did you get this far in without that coming up already?

I don’t think your approach to sex is wrong, at all, nothing wrong with needing casual sex, I just don’t understand how you ended up in this situation, if you don’t like her in even a friendship way how did it get this far?

A hori-hori, a knife shaped for digging and cutting both, and often one side has measurement lines too. Ever since I got one a few years ago I have not been without one. Dog destroys it? I buy another. Kids lose it? I buy another. Just such a useful tool.

And both these items make good impromptu weapons.

Garden knife and iron skillet.

At home if I make pizzas I make one for me with anchovy, onion, and hot pepper flakes or pickled spicy jalapenos and that does usually keep everyone off it, and I love it, my ideal pizza. Salty anchovy, sweet onion, punchy peppers, so good!

It was the inverse in my house, oldest daughter and I are chiliheads, ex was not, though he was ok with mildly spicy stuff, not oversensitive. So daughter and I go out for Thai food because if it’s just us we can get it so spicy. We bring some home and warn the dad don’t eat it, it’s spicy . He gets stoned and forgets, eats it and was literally traumatized; would not touch anything spicy for a couple of years.

About 4 hours but not in one go. Everyone is different but I can’t imagine 8 hours straight at anything.

Woah, I’ve not seen any of those! Yes I am old. I liked the animated Aeon Flux a lot, and there was a pretty bad live adaptation, so I thought it was famous.

Wouldn’t this depend on why the assassin is after me?

Is this obscure? I thought it well known?

You can hedge a loquat - one of my neighbors did this, and it keeps the fruit where you can reach it too.
