I remember going to a presentation trying to sell timeshares back in the 90s. I was on vacation with my parents in Orlando Florida. If we went to an hour long presentation selling us time shares we would be given tickets to Disney world for 3 days and up to 4 people per party.

I have no idea how they afforded to do that, I know we didn't buy one and I just read a book(i think I was about 10) while waiting to go to Disney world. We did get the tickets and Disney world was enjoyable.

From the times when I was younger...

68 is you do me and I owe you one. 71 was 69 with 2 fingers in the ass. I guess 70 would just be training...

How to admit you are from the Midwest without directly admitting it...😉

But it would be funny to watch them trying to use a pencil sharpener

I've told this story before but years ago(probably 2 if not 3 decades ago) I liked a song where a guy made sounds like "ohh bada bada bop ba" instead of actually singing. The only real line he sang that I remembered was "I'm the scat man"... So I went on to kazza, yes this was that long ago, and found a video called "scat man" and downloaded it... I hope I don't have to explain it was NOT a music video!

I am NT but here is my take...

  1. Typically any holiday is spent with your partner (if possible, exceptions can be made in advance... "I'm sorry I can't spend fourth of July with you, I need to work on that day" for example)

  2. Discuss limits, periodically confirm limits haven't changed. Maybe hanging out at a beach with a different potential partner is a limit. Maybe having dinner alone with a different potential partner is a limit. Maybe kissing is a limit. Maybe sex is a limit. Maybe the gender matters, if your partner is same gender as the other person may increase the limit(if your partner is a girl, she may not be ok with your kissing a girl but if fine with you kissing a guy for example). All these vary by partner.

  3. Communicate... Why is she upset? Was it timing? Would what you did be ok next weekend for example? Was it the activity? If you saw a movie with your friend would that be ok?

  4. I don't mean to be offensive about this one. Why did you leave your partner to spend time with another person? Did you not like spending time with your girlfriend? Did you prefer to be around your friend? Did you just need a break of the party but it's awkward to return to the party afterwards? Do you just not like that type of party and that's why you left?

All of these will influence your relationship. The biggest is going to be 3.... Communicate communicate communicate. Discuss these questions with your partner and you should have a better idea of what is acceptable and what isnt going forward.

Yes, and those are the ones I make.

See the corroding part scares me. Actual electrodes planted in the brain should never corrode. The company I work for actually makes brain implants(no, not nueralink) so I know it's possible.

That stuff is EXPENSIVE though ... So he must of cheaped out with a cheaper metal and that's why it corroded.

The joke is much better if you don't give the children names at the start.
