“No fue apropriado” ella estaba mi instructora...
:shake: You really need to come and be taught Españish monolingually by Uncle Tak himself.

“It wasn’t appropriate” [implied ellipses paragraph break] she was being my instructor.

Down to learn españish for sure. My Spanglish is decent.
 
Your sentences is, I am sorry to say, both nonsensical and agrammatical. You should come to a place where people don't speak English, e.g. Argentina. The problem is, of course, that they think they speak English, which is highly problematic at times. But it sort of gives me a job, so it all turns out well in the end. ;)
 
Rant: I hate cold.

I must be a bad Canadian.
 
The difference between writing down a meaning and writing a decent phrase connoting that meaning, is sadly vast.

Self-edited my novella, which generally wasn't pleasant. I am not sure if it is worth much. Of course, like any self-designated good writer, I am prone to think that it is still better than anything by those lepers* - the other contemporary writers. But that by itself, even if true, doesn't mean it is any good.

Also, I should have edited it more carefully before sending it to someone who might help. Now I doubt the future is bright. I should remind myself that such mistakes are very costly when you are not already famous.

*obviously joking :)
 
Rant: It's difficult typing with gloves on.
 
Rant: I hate cold.

Nah. I was told by an immigration officer that hating the cold was a marker for proper assimilation.

Rant: eff insomnia.

I took an ambien at 10pm and went to bed. I held my cat as he fell asleep, I listened as my wife's breathing changed indicating she'd fallen asleep. Clock said just past midnight and all that was on my mind was geography. I tried going through the alphabet by country: Afghanistan, Brazil, Colombia, etc... but that was too easy, so I decided I'd do it by countries by lowest population instead.

Spoiler the list I came up with :

Andora
Barbados
Cyprus (incorrect: Cape Verde has 550k to Cyprus' ~800k)
Domnica
Estonia (incorrect, turns out Swaziland was renamed Eswatini last year, but I'm giving myself credit. Estonia has 1.3m to Eswantini's 1m)

And now I needed to clarify a rule. Territories shouldn't be included, but fully autonomous, self-governing countries that are in association with another country should count)

Faroe Islands
Greenland
Honduras (lucky guess, Hungary is only slightly larger)
Iceland
Jamaica
Kiribati
Lichtenstein
Monaco
Niue (I got lucky! I mixed up Niue and Nauru but was thinking of Nauru)
Oman
Palau
Qatar
Rwanda
San Marano
Tuvalu
United Arab Emirates (incorrect: Uruguay is 3.5m and UAE 9.7m, this was the only mistake I am annoyed with myself for)
Vatican City
Western Sahara

Yemen
Zambia (incorrect: Zimbabwe has 15m and Zambia 17m)


Fast forward to 4am and I've done the same thing by largest population, smallest area, largest area... I take another ambien.

My therapist and I have been working on helping me accept my ASD diagnosis and look for the positives of how my mind works. It's kinda cool and all how accurate I was from memory, but I don't think anyone is looking to hire a human wikipedia page.

Clock says 5 am. Ambien isn't even registering. My wife's cuddling me but like... I need to fart. I can't fart against her, but I also don't wanna wake her up by moving. Do I slip a pillow between us? Create a fart pillow? Our pillows are expensive though and I don't wanna sully one. I manage to roll over, remaining cuddled without waking her. Crisis averted.

Clock says 6 am. Toothless wants to be fed.When I get back in bed I just give up and get on my phone. I split the next 4 hours on reddit and playing sudoku.

10 am, wife wakes up, asks how I slept. I almost start crying. I take another ambien, and follow the advice on the bottle "do not mix with alcohol" by drinking half a bottle of wine.

11 am, I finally fall asleep

2 pm aaaaaaand I'm awake again.

This will all happen again tonight. Depression is so fun sometimes.
 
I would never sleep again if I was expected to do so while touching another human being.
 
I will not apologize for drinking and españating

Can't you get those fingertip-less gloves that are supposed to be meant for typing?
 
It's nearly midnight here. So not right now.

I'm like that too. Same way I hate hugs. But I've been with her for nearly half my life and she's become the exception. A hug or a cuddle from her isn't like anyone else. :hug:
 
If you taste my cooking, you wouldn't leave anything uneaten.

I'm accept your challenge. When's a good time for you?

Now?

Of course, you're a woman. I receive greater satisfaction satisfying men.

I made brownies! OMG like cracj.

Mr KB's taking them to work tomorrow for his coworker's birthday. I love being a wife.

Put my hair in a bun and turn the lights down low and we got 2 years, honey.
