Favorite thing to do during a blizzard?

Oops, answered the date question first. Anyway, not much to do during a blizzard, at least for me, so I stay at home, turn up the heating, cuddle up in bed, maybe listen to some music/watch a film/read a book, while also having a warming drink.

How do you know when it's the right time for you to leave a party?
post #6251 of 6846
6/2/12 at 8:39pm
It depends, if I don't feel comfortable and is extremely awkward then I'll just leave with friends and move on else where. Or if I have a bad feeling that something is going to happen I also leave. The answer varies greatly for me.

How do you determine right or wrong?
post #6253 of 6846
6/2/12 at 8:49pm
For me it's when in the wee hours, I see mouths opening and closing but can't make out anything they're saying.

@teerose - If I don't feel right saying or doing it, it's wrong for me. I also draw on what I learned
and gleaned from my discussions with my parents while I was growing up.

When you are invited to a wedding, is it customary in your area to give a gift to the married couple or an envelope with money inside?
post #6254 of 6846

a gift is optional (usually the married couple give a list what they want to their best friends) but most married couple would prefer only an envelope with money inside in my country.

No. Doubt always exists because I think sometimes the definitions can be blurred or interpreted differently.

What bad habit are you proud to have overcome?
post #6260 of 6846
6/3/12 at 12:59am
Eating fast food. I stopped in 2002. Actually this summer it will have been a decade since I dedcided to stop. In which I've eaten fast food only about 14 times which were out of sheer necessity. And more recently I refrain from heavy meals after the sun sets.

Its a nice story about how I came to realize I no longer want to eat fast food. I went to the states to study in 2000 and like most freshman and sophomore students I ate a lot fast food. The first two years went by fast and visits to home were mostly short so I didn't notice the difference in food. It was not until the end of the second year when I visited home for about a month did I realize how good our food was. Its in this year that I developed a taste for vegetables. Prior to that I'd mostly focus on beef, chicken and fish and rice and breads. I took vegetables for granted. But that summer it was like a revelation. Everything just tasted wonderful.
Home cooked. Fresh. Vegetables. Fruit. Healthy. Rich. REAL!. I decided then and there that I wouldn't eat fast food. It was a bit difficult because my friends still ate fast food but I managed by planning lunch/dinner with friends who preferred eating at proper restaurants or we'd cook at home.

If it's more of a bad habit, I am proud to have overcome a certain (albeit mild) shopping addiction and being quite careless with my finances, which, thankfully, I am not any longer.

Well, I wouldn't call it proud but feeling satisfied, drinking alcohol. I didn't drink all that much, compared to most people, but it's nice to leave it behind. The main problem was other people wanting to drink. I think I never got bought so many drinks as when I wanted to stop. I didn't stop completely and still will have a wine with the girlfriend, etc but hangovers, getting drunk down the pub and such are a thing of the past.

Writing a post on BN! Not sure if I should be getting so engrossed in posting, but that's the truth!

One of the interesting things about people's yards in the western US is the fact many are "natural" - people just take whatever natural grasses or plants come. Others work hard to maintain some semblance of order.

Which would you, or do you, prefer?

Stylish.

Same Q
post #6273 of 6846
6/3/12 at 12:25pm
A little of both. In my younger years I had conformed a bit and just wanted and accepted fitting in. Sticking out was something I didn't want to do, and it would raise attention. But, a part of growing up is breaking through those walls and truthfully seeing the world in your own eyes, thereby forming your own opinions.

Overall, I was both.

Never seen myself as rebellious, it's just that large parts of the population are, and without any proper reason, extremely conformist and easily worried.

If it's what I think you mean (like the iMac), I think they're pretty neat. Not portable enough for me, but they're pretty amazing for a lot of people.

Which do you prefer - a dog that sheds but needs no brushing, or a dog with no shedding that must be brushed? (You can use a cat to answer if there is such a thing as a shedless cat).
