ok, I'll start with Topic 1.
most of us, when we decide we will do something, do it.
My bride (we've been together 20 years), not so much.
like tonight, at 6 pm she gets home from work and says she'll be going for a walk in a little bit. after a half-hour of mostly one-sided chatter (not my side), she says let's order a pizza. I asked if we should wait until after she's back from her walk. she says no, I'm hungry so let's order now. pizza comes in a half hour, and at this time of year it's STILL light out at 8:25 pm and - no walk. (I should point out that she does do walks and she's only a size 6, so it's not slothfulness.)
happens all the time, with all kinds of "predictions," to the point where I know she's not going to do what she says she will do - but I swear she doesn't. like she'll say, "I'll wait til the traffic dies down before I go shopping" and she totally believes it. But I know she'll get immersed in Facebook and look up and it's 9 pm and oh well.
of course I'm not dumb enough to point to this peculiar behavior - well, not dumb enough to bring it up to HER, lol. she's always very sweet, but I think it would rattle her to realize that she's not in charge of her own ship.
feel free to respond to this one, or bring up your mystery....
