Lost something else too.

Oh my arm is almost healed up btw. Still have some trouble turning it and can't life anything past 5 pounds but it gets better every day.
I've had two calls so far tonight.
-_-
If it helps, I did just get a third call.I've had two calls so far tonight.-_-
It does not.
I need to send all these people to you somehow.
Nah. I don't need them.If it helps, I did just get a third call.I've had two calls so far tonight.-_-It does not.

Are you sure? Could be a lot of fun.
Nice phone hasn't rang for 20 minutes now.
Also I agree passionate love is not the basis of a successful marriage but to me after that you are just friends so why marriage?
I understand the religious reasons but it doesn't seem to me that marriage adds all that much to the strength of a relationship when you can get the same things out of being lifelong buddies with the same strength of dedication to one another.
As an ace guy with an ace fiancee, our impending marriage is equal parts "for the social/financial benefits" and "because our extremely conservative families would look very disapprovingly on an unmarried man and woman cohabiting even if we know there's nothing going on".
And yes, said parents know we're asexual. I quite literally had to tell my mom, "We are not interested in sex. At all. Either of us." And her response was "Why get married then?" to which I had to explain "One, because you and everyone else in our religion would lose their minds at an unmarried man and woman living together, and two, because taxes."
(Which also sheds a not-so-flattering light on my parents' interpretations of marriage; despite spending the past 30+ years of my life teaching us along with the church that marriage is all about love and dedication and companionship, the instant sex is removed from the equation suddenly the response is "Why get married then?" ....)
Other than that it's quite literally going to be nothing different than our current arrangement other than we're living together rather than four states apart.
I hope not to offend but I've always been curious, when you are asexual do you still feel infatuated with a person sometimes? Or are traditionally "romantic" feelings absent as well?
Edit: I'm just suspicious sometimes if romantic love is just sex drive in disguise.
They are two different things.
There's even two different terms for them - asexual (lack of sex drive) vs. aromantic (lack of romantic attraction).
I am asexual...
Thanks for the explanation, I used to be up to date on this stuff but I have a lot of holes in my knowledge now, this was helpful=)
What happened to your arm, Vidmaster7? And yes, I missed you. I was also busy making black pepper chicken pizza. Next week's edition is black pepper pork pizza. With Mozarella cheese.
So I tripped and fell and caught myself with that arm (better then my face right?) but I pretty well strained every muscle in it from doing so. I thought I might have broken it at first but its healing now.
The black pepper pork pizza sounds awesome, but I thought you couldn't use pork?

It's beef I can't use. Going to do a stir fry on the minced black pepper pork though. But again the only issue about pork is its a red meat, so it's more calorific. But I'm done trying to lose weight now anyway, so I don't think it really matters.
I thought pork was a white meat?
I looked it up here to and apparently it counts as a red meat. Which I feel is just a poor naming system.

My mom used to put the name of the pig that was butchered on all our frozen pork.
As the person who named and fed those pigs I would have preferred just calling it red meat.
My friends believes they taste better if you know there name.
Yeah well, they obviously didn't feed and care for them and then have to shoot them in the head and cut them to pieces.
You kind of lose your appetite after that.
Or at least I did.
I just didn't eat pork until I moved out on my own (you'll be surprised what you'll eat when your food budget is ten dollars a week).

So here's a random question for the FaWtLy Folk: Is there anyone on this thread, or does anyone know of anyone, have any relatives, friends, or acquaintances, or otherwise know anyone in the universe who doesn't find modern Kleenex box designs anything short of hideous?
It's seriously as if a bunch of guys with perfectly-coiffed chest hair peeking out from their wide lapels, gold medallions, Foster Grants sunglasses, and Jheri Curls, sat around saying, "Gods, why can't we be more like Andy Gibb?"
And then they design Kleenex boxes. With the color palettes of the 70s, and the hideous design patterns of the 70s. But they have no training, so they do a random mix-n-match and make the boxes even more hideous than the worst furnishing or clothing atrocities the 70s had to offer.
If I had a choice between hanging a photo of a pug's butt by my bedside table, or placing one of these abominations, I'd hang the pug's butt.
So WTF? Is it just to drive the "hide the Kleenex box by making your own tasteful container box for it" craft industry?
Are we talking Kleenex brand, or any tissue brand?
Either way I never paid much attention to the boxes.
Wirepede. A new animate!
I don't buy boxed tissue paper - the foiled ten pack is more economic around here as far as I can tell (2 zloty or a little more than a half dollar for 100 tissues). The box dispensers seem to be more expensive.
I don't think we have actual Kleenex brand available here.
I use handkerchiefs instead of paper tissues, because I am a walking antique, so I've never seen the Kleenex boxes to which NH refers, but I want to now.

Mention of 70s sparked your interest?
I tend to just use napkins collected from various and sundry to-go restaurant orders for tissues as-needed, so I haven't bought a box of tissues in ages.

So I asked my ex-wife if things would have been better for us if I hadn't hassled her about chores when I got overwhelmed as she sometimes literally said things like "Let's not fight about who does the dishes."
But she just laughed and said; "Well of course I didn't want to fight about doing the dishes you literally always did them, best case scenario for me if we fought about them was I would have to then do some dishes."
...Oh Yeah >_<

I hates doing the dishes. But in a weird kind of sense the thought of living away from my family in the impending future gives me a funny feeling. It'll be odd not being there for their hot pot during chinese new year.
I should be able to handle it, I've lived out of my aunts house, I can cook and am actually quite happy ironing things(at least happier then doing dishes).
I'm not particularly good at general house maintenance through.

Are you feeling anxious about not seeing them everyday?
I remember a similar feeling to that when I first moved away.

I have 7 brothers, I couldn't wait to move out.
I hates doing the dishes.
Regarding this, yeah, I hates doing the dishes too.
It's one of those things that I do just because it isn't really an option not to do them...well, I guess it's technically optional, in the same way bathing is optional and cleaning your bum after you poo is optional.

somehow, I make it through my days and nights without ever worrying about the design of the Kleenex box.

Hmmm I like the nicknames you guys often give to significant others and family members. From now on my GF is Ms. British and my ex Ms. X.
Hmmm yeah.
Nicknames?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Whelp, I've been super stressed the last few days(that has probably come through in my ramblings) but tonight Ms British is coming over and we are going on holiday for the next few days.
Ahhh stress relief.
Nicknames?
Isn't your wife the General?
