Question of the day:
Do you have any weird allergies?
I only recently found out I had a rare allergy to uncooked shiitake mushrooms (see my latest Unfortunate Packaging post.) I got a strange rash on my chest that looked like someone scratched me many times at weird angles, and as I researched it I saw that it matched a rash peculiar to eating raw shiitake mushrooms - and I had munched on one a few days before, for the first time in my life. As far as I know, this is the only allergy I have.

Bad habits:
1. Thinking one more potato chip, Frito, or cookie will take away my anxiety or frustration.
2. Reading one more book about improving my relationship, thinking it will change my W's opinion about affection to the betterment.
OH, YEA, I quit doing the second thing so maybe there is hope for me.
Allergies or reactions:
When I was younger I washed greasy car parts in gasoline and it would only dry my hands out a bit. Now I get ichy, my cuticles crack and I wind up with cracked skin on my thumbs. OK gasoline is not a cleaning agent one should use so now i use red-died diesel fuel. It is less flammable. Gloves? Not very often but I see other people using gloves and think really?

My overwhelming urge to keep the peace which often means not speaking my mind. I avoid confrontation which often makes my problems worse. I had that problem in a crippling way that affected my work as well. It turns out I had very low testosterone. (Didn't affect my desire to want to have sex, though!) If you haven't, you might want to be tested. If I got tested and found out I was low, I certainly wouldn't do anything to raise it. If it was normal, I'd probably end up asking for something to lower it. Either way, it's a conversation I'm not ready to have with a doctor yet. |

Today's question:
Have you ever been with someone who was way out of your league?
Did you still think so about them at the end of the relationship?

Today's question: Have you ever been with someone who was way out of your league? Did you still think so about them at the end of the relationship? Nope. I was very awkward in highschool and college so I never had much experience with the ladies at all, let alone any that were out of my league. Then after dating my W in college, we got married ........... and I went from celibate to "just barely not celibate" |

I thought my W was out of my league when we were first dating. She had a little better education, a better job than I had, and she knew more about the world and especially relationships than I did. I soon discovered she might not be satisfied with my earning ability and I broke it off for several months. We got back together and she dropped some of her higher finance wants and we got married. That worked for many years until my ability to maintain several jobs and some back injuries knocked me flat on my back.
Other than my W, I didn't date very much. One girl was Catholic and I thought "nice person" but how many kids would we have so I ended that relationship. Another girl wanted to go to college and told me I wouldn't be more than a distant friend. Maybe she was one of those "Out of my class" dates. One time when we were in the same class, elementary then or middle school now, I knew she got better grades than I did.

Today's question: Have you ever been with someone who was way out of your league? Did you still think so about them at the end of the relationship? No. But I did date someone I was crazy about- moreso than he was about me. In retrospect I don't think he was out of my league but he was... somewhat unreachable. |

Yeah ... quite a bit in my youth. I wasnt bad to look at. But I was no brad pitt. Maybe more of benjamin bratt. I think the ladies were attracted to my smarts, sense of humor, and easy going nature. Once I got married, the only person I really thought about until recently was W. I have run into exes. Two of them wanted to go for "coffee". Coffee my ass. I was direct with both of them and askd if they wanted to do the dirty deed. One was openly receptive, she is married and sexless. The other is divorced and played the morality card. That was a huge turnoff bc I know she would have if I played it up. Today's question: Have you ever been with someone who was way out of your league? Did you still think so about them at the end of the relationship? |

Today's question: Have you ever been with someone who was way out of your league? Did you still think so about them at the end of the relationship? I did date someone once when I was younger who I thought was out of my league. Or rather, I worried he was too good for me. I spent the entire relationship trying to be the best me I could be, hoping he’d think I was good enough. I’ve never “tried” so hard in a relationship. It was exhausting. And in the end, he cheated on me. I was crushed. Especially since I had worked so hard and apparently still wasn’t “good enough”. That situation sent me into a rough patch for a good 6 or 9 months but I eventually moved on and learned to never date someone again when I felt like I could never “measure up”. If someone didn’t like the real me then that person was not for me. I suppose at the end of the relationship I still thought that about him, especially since it felt like he proved I “wasn’t good enough” through cheating. Now I just think he’s an asshole. (And a bit of a hypocritical one at that because he became a pastor/minister but isn’t exactly “pure” of heart.) He never did apologize. |

Today's question:
Do you use a voice assistant, either a standalone device like Amazon Echo or on your cellphone? What do you use it for?
