1~ describe the connection between you and your SO.

we help each other grow into better people by challenging each other. This has helped us both to grow immensely as people but it can get tiring sometimes. We help each other think about the world in different ways, to ALWAYS challenge our assumptions. I love him so much for this.

2~ what do you think is the most important thing you do for him/her?

Help take care of his son. Keep the house running. challenge him to develop an emotional inner life and to trust his emotions. I agree with whoever said it above that if you were to ask him it would be the regular, healthy sex life. ack!

3~ what is the most important thing they do for you?

He challenges me to sort out my emotional garbage, of which I have a lot, and to think rationally about my visceral reactions. He gets me to think about the system we live in as seriously ill and to develop ways to live that are more harmonious with the earth. He challenges my privilege by assessing his own. He has introduced me to many kick ass activists whom I wouldn't otherwise have met.

4~ how much do you spend on your kids birthday party?

Under $50. Every year we rent a park shelter, make the cake ourselves and give art as party favors.

5~ how many hours do you spend on the computer?

too many. about 3-4 a day. I usually have one day a week where I don't even look at the computer. Of course, the next day I have to spend more time to catch up but it's worth it.

6~ do you think girls are sexier with make up on?

depends on the woman. Most of the time, no. but it's nice to accentuate certain features sometimes.

7~ do you bleach your whites to keep them white?

bleach? what the fuck is bleach? whites? I don't have anything that would qualify as white, more of an ecru or beige. I am not invested enough in my clothing to give two shits.

8~ do you floss? how often?

yes. once or twice a week. I should do it everyday. I have reaaaaallllly bad teeth.

9~ do you floss your kids teeth?

no....oh, the guilt!

10~ do you make an effort to meet your neighbours?

Yes, but not enough. We live in a college town in a college neighborhood so our neighbors have a high turnover rate.

11~ do you think people should bring over a welcome casserole like in the good ol days?

maybe cookies? casseroles are so passe.

12~ if a new neighbour brought you something would you eat it?

if it was vegetarian.

1~ describe the connection between you and your SO.
I love him, he gets me, I get him. Yeah, it's pretty vague and unexplainable. If I could explain it I don't think it would work very well. He is way older than me, he can be a total asshole and I love him and love him.

2~ what do you think is the most important thing you do for him/her?
encourage him to do what he loves

3~ what is the most important thing they do for you?
same

4~ how much do you spend on your kids birthday party?
I'd like to say nothing but it's probably like 50 bucks on food and 50 on other crap. We have had three really big parties and I have no idea why.

5~ how many hours do you spend on the computer?
in what time period? In a day it's 15 minutes to a couple of hours depending on what I am working on or not working on. Ideally it would be 15 minutes plus whatever time I am working on photo stuff on the computer. Less crap.

6~ do you think girls are sexier with make up on?
Sexier sometimes yes. Prettier, not usually.

7~ do you bleach your whites to keep them white?
rarely. I hate whites. I don't buy them for myself or my kid but my husband still has some. Towels (my husband only likes white towels) I occasionally bleach. I hate bleach.

8~ do you floss? how often?
rarely.

9~ do you floss your kids teeth?
not yet. I wouldn't know how to even approach that one. He hates the brushing already.

10~ do you make an effort to meet your neighbours?
yes

11~ do you think people should bring over a welcome casserole like in the good ol days?
no. Welcome flowers or cookies or sparkling beverages would be great (to give or recieve) but food can be so touchy.

12~ if a new neighbour brought you something would you eat it?
depends on what it was and if I liked them.

1~ describe the connection between you and your SO.

honestly, right now its like we are running a business - called family life.

2~ what do you think is the most important thing you do for him/her? tell him how much i love him. but if you were to ask him, it would be that i give him a damn good lay every-now-and-then... and that is what really reminds him.

3~ what is the most important thing they do for you?
gives me the space i need. i am so touched out by the end of the day the last thing i need right now is a needy partner.

4~ how much do you spend on your kids birthday party? as little as possible. max's 3'd was a lot for me, about 300 bucks.

5~ how many hours do you spend on the computer? maybe 3, scattered throughout the day.

6~ do you think girls are sexier with make up on? some, depends on the makeup.

7~ do you bleach your whites to keep them white? nope, but i've been thinking about bleaching my teeth a lot lately. that coffee every morning is starting to really show.

8~ do you floss? how often? no. shameful, i know.

9~ do you floss your kids teeth? no.

10~ do you make an effort to meet your neighbours? yes.

11~ do you think people should bring over a welcome casserole like in the good ol days? hell no. i wouldn't want some of my neighbors cooking for me.

12~ if a new neighbour brought you something would you eat it? no. call me paranoid.

Ima sucka for surveys.

1~ describe the connection between you and your SO.
Well, it's deep. It started when I was 15 and will probably continue forever. I do know if I can actually describe it though - it just fits.

2~ what do you think is the most important thing you do for him/her?
I support him and believe in him.

3~ what is the most important thing they do for you?
understands my needs (like cleaning the house and helping me chill after work)

4~ how much do you spend on your kids birthday party?
as little as possible but last week for dd's I bought a bunch of pizzas and they cost like $60 or so. too much.

5~ how many hours do you spend on the computer?
too many. I'm on it often throughout the day, mostly at work.

no. I'm not a fan of makeup, but I have seen people do some cool stuff with it.

7~ do you bleach your whites to keep them white?
I just avoid whites.

8~ do you floss? how often?
yeah, like once every 6 months when I remember that i should.

9~ do you floss your kids teeth?
Whenever i do

10~ do you make an effort to meet your neighbours?
No. I'm friends with 2, one couple hate each other and fight a lot and the people across the street don't seem approachable. Plus, I live on a road and not in a neighborhood.

11~ do you think people should bring over a welcome casserole like in the good ol days?
maybe some cokies.

12~ if a new neighbour brought you something would you eat it?
depends on what it is. I would at least give it to the dog so it wouldn't go to waste.

1~ describe the connection between you and your SO.
Oh, that's impossible to describe. He is more than my friend, he is my counterpart.

2~ what do you think is the most important thing you do for him/her?
Try to be as supportive as possible of anything he chooses to do in his life.

3~ what is the most important thing they do for you?
See #2, only for me!

4~ how much do you spend on your kids birthday party?
As little as possible! Under $100 if we can get away with it.

5~ how many hours do you spend on the computer?
Oh god. Most hours of the day? Granted, most of it is working or studying, but still. I swear my descendants will evolve to have giant eyeballs and nimble fingers for working on the computer.

6~ do you think girls are sexier with make up on?
No way. I think make-up is kinda gross. In fact, in my single days, I couldn't date a girl who wore make-up. Nothing against make-up wearers, just not fun for kissing is all.

7~ do you bleach your whites to keep them white?
Nah. That sounds like work.

8~ do you floss? how often?
Nope.

9~ do you floss your kids teeth?
lol nope! I can't make him do something I don't do myself!

10~ do you make an effort to meet your neighbours?
Absolutely.

11~ do you think people should bring over a welcome casserole like in the good ol days?
Well, it'd be nice. But not necessary by any means. I usually bring a welcome handshake myself.

12~ if a new neighbour brought you something would you eat it?
Depends, I have a lot of food allergies. But probably, if it wasn't toxic.
