My mom clipped off a part of her christmas cactus, which I grew up with and have fond memories of in our dining room. Gave a piece to each sibling to care after. My wife and I are both awful with plants and it did not survive, despite us being told that it would be incredibly hard to kill. Thankfully, our children are not dead yet and our dogs are doing well so we're not total monsters.

I share the cooking with my other half. We rarely get takeaway food or eat out.

Just came here to note how dumb as s**t this is. 80-year-olds are computer literate. Maybe not so much with cell-phone apps.... but yeah, the world has had 50 years to adapt to computers.

I'm in my 40's and I hate small talk. I've never been good at it and would rather do almost anything else. Probably doesn't help that I'm also one of those people who is perfectly comfortable with silence. If I have something to contribute to a conversation I will but I don't feel the need to fill silence with talk of the weather.

I have a general atmosphere I'm going for but this is our working and living space, not a showroom.

Just BBQs & family dinners. If I know you well enough to invite you to dinner, I know you're not going to care about special glasses & where all the forks go.

Anyone who has a stoner past will be good at this. I've come up with some of my best recipes while being almost too high to boil water, lol.

Never understood this. Why is a knowledge of old material better than a knowledge of contemporary material? All of our school projects were on "classics" and they were all depressing or violent. Handmaid's tale, Of Mice and Men, Macbeth. Even the anthologies were about famine, war and disease. Is it only worthy of note if it makes you feel like c**p.

That is two different things. I can very well have a perfect excuse (on forehand) not to go or do something I don't want to. Yet, when you have my word to do something, or to go somewhere, I'll stick to that if anyhow possible. And of course life happens, so it is not always possible, but there is something about being trustworthy and thinking before answering and then have to make excuses afterwards ....

gym memberships are so damn expensive here, I just exercise at home and go on walks since I'm in North Yorkshire and there's no shortage of nice country areas to go hiking in.

I wrap a beautiful package, but I prefer a simple bag. Does that mean I'm lazy?

I work from home, maybe 35 hours/week. But I don't make plans for my week. I just kind of go with the flow

If you are an adult and you are not able to make appointments, you really should reevaluate your life. Nowadays there are a lot of doctors where you can book appointments online.

Cold pizza for breakfast is the best. As long as it's proper Italian style, not one of those monstrosities with half an inch of cheese on them.

Again none of the above; you don't need to set a budget to avoid buying stuff you don't really need.
