Are you frugal?

seattlepanda comments on Jan 24, 2019:

Frugal is relative...as is stingy, miserly, spendy, et.al...some people are very aware and attentive to their money supply and make conscious choices as to where to deploy. If I scape the peanut butter jar clean, unthinking people will say "frugal!"...I say, I will prefer to spend that extra two sandwiches cost elsewhere(that maybe is unimportant to you).

What is your definition of “success”?

seattlepanda comments on Jan 15, 2019:

My personal definition of success, and to which I have attained, is contentment. A deep intrinsic belief that I have experienced much, and have acted in the best way I know how. Success is saying, If I go now, I have experienced a full and fascinating life, and have have always done the best I can...

seattlepanda comments on Jan 14, 2019:

Funny because although your analysis is interesting, my failed marriage was in agreement with your statement, she wanted him to change/he wanted her to not change, but our incompatibility did not affect sex. We were compatible in our sexual quirks throughout the worst of our lives together.

These two articles explain really well why I'm not into hookups.

seattlepanda comments on Jan 12, 2019:

I'm not so good in hook ups either. Ambivalent about "in love", but know and "in like" is important to me.

I’ve got a case of the jealous. Talk me down, y’all.

seattlepanda comments on Dec 23, 2018:

I think jealousy is a symptom of a deeper problem. Here are issues, in order of significance, that have ultimately ended relationships I have been in: 1. Substantial disparity in feelings and attachment for one another, leading to, 2. Expectations not met, usually not expressed, and 3. Commitment disparities(the rules), again unfortunately, usually not expressed. Until we find the one(s) with whom our feelings run very similar, with the corresponding sense of commitment and responsibility, we can only enjoy the moments; knowing they will ultimately end.

So I needed to get tape for wrapping, but this made me go home and look harder.
