    Is Honesty Always the Best Policy?

    From experience: it isn't. Diplomacy is. But I'm no good at it. :D

    wish failure on your ex's next relationship?

    Not really, but I think it would sting a little for feeling not good enough that he would do the work when he and I were together. Assuming of course that his next would not be dealing with more of the same, but then it wouldn't last I think.

    Rent Control

    I'm not in favour of imposing an upper limit to what you're allowed to ask. Costs for maintenance etc. rise also, and it will make the house market implode. With all the regulations already, existing houses probably won't get upgraded anymore if you're not allowed to increase the rent. You get...

    Asthma

    Do you happen to have allergies? They can trigger asthma attacks. Antihistamine (Cetirizine, Loratadine/Desloratadine, ...) can help you. You can't combine allergy pills just like that (they usually are bad for the liver) and you can't take more than your dose, but if you don't take any yet, I...

    Do you believe in divorce?

    I believe that your own happiness matters too. And wrt kids... Someone said to me once, "kids can better come FROM a broken family than be IN a broken family", and that hit deep. It was something that set me on my way to choose myself too. The other "final motivation" was... Is it so much better...

    April Fools Day

    The only one of mine that actually worked, was when I taped a paper to our printer in the office that it was now voice controlled, with some commands. :D (And telling my sons when they were little that there was a hole in their pants/t-shirt/...). :) I remember my aunt telling me that my...

    If you won the lottery?

    Set aside 60% for taxes. With the remaining 40%, see how far I get with paying off mortgage. If anything left, either invest or split it between my sons or something, perhaps a week of vacation too.

    Phones banned in schools?

    My sons' school allows them to have the phone in their locker (or schoolbag) but if they use it during class without teacher permission, or if it makes a sound during class (notifications etc), they get detention.

    your last break up?

    2020, various reasons. It started with feeling unvalued, taken for granted, only good to do the work & pay the bills. Since then, a lot more happened.

    Homemade or Pre-Made Drinks?

    I don't make my own, but my youngest is an experimentor. Picky eater & drinker but he mixes all kinds of stuff in his drinks, mostly too much sugar but weirdly enough also coffee.

    Go on & vent

    This... Very much this. To an extent I shouldn't mention, probably.

    Announcement [Ready] OT Christmas Tree

    @Nebulous: I found you a star, but I can't manage to post it here. :( I don't see an "add attachment" option to my post, and I can't find how to create an album for putting it in there either. I'm sorry. Nice thread, and I stole your idea, I hope you don't mind.

    Would you ever date someone with a criminal record?

    Depends on the crime. I have one for being involved in a car accident, it's called "unintentionally harming a person" or something of that kind if you translate to English. I think it will expire after 5 years since it's a "traffic violation", so I'm nearly out of it I think.
