I don't think I've known anyone with the same first and last name, but a kid my brother played hockey with had parents who clearly didn't care about the first/last name combo. They named their youngest John Doe.

I think I could take or leave a lot of the wineries I went to the first time I went to Napa, but Castello di Amorosa was gorgeous and I really enjoyed their whites. Last month when I went my favorite all around tour and wine was Quintessa. I really enjoyed their wine and the people there are unbelievably knowledgeable when it comes to all things wine. Cakebread was delicious and if you can get into the reserve tasting that's even better. Mondavi was meh, Joseph Phelps was a really great and solidly in the middle and Beringer got us all drunk at 10am. I should note that Quintessa and Beringer were both private tastings, though I believe Quintessa's standard tour is similar.
-I only used 1lb of ground meat (I used turkey) -I most definitely used less than a whole onion -I used a can of kidney beans and a can of cannellini beans -I used an entire can of canned pumpkin. -I skipped the tomato juice and instead went with one large (28oz) can of diced tomatoes and 2 medium sized cans (don't ask me for more details on the size ... it's medium) of tomatoes with jalapenos. -I make my own pumpkin pie spice, but am positive that if you combine the cinnamon, nutmeg allspice etc that I used it was definitely over 1 tbsp -I also added paprika and maybe a dash of cayenne
Ok, so pretty much the only thing I did as instructed was use a whole green bell pepper, but it's delicious. Most of the things I changed are minor, but you will want to add some additional spices at the end

My main points card is the Capital One Venture Card. We got the one with the monthly fee because we charge everything to it and pay it off right away. We'll get far more in free travel than the yearly fee. My favorite thing about it is that points are so easy to use. You just tell it which travel related expenses to apply it to

Delete isn't really part of my vocabulary. My H on the other hand likes his email and phone neat and tidy. It would feel more shady if I hadn't watched him do it on a daily basis when we were just good friends.

I vote in all state/national elections (including primaries), but have definitely forgotten local town elections before because they always happen at the most random of times.
I spend a decent amount of time researching, but it's not uncommon for a majority of the races to be uncontested. I believe the last presidential election I was only voting for president and ballot questions everything else was uncontested. I've known all my votes for this years race as well as what I'm voting for ballot questions for awhile now.
I'm torn on this. On the one hand I think everyone should vote and they need to grow up and do it, but on the other hand I do think it's important for people to research who/what they're voting for and I'm terrified by the thought of having people with no interest in or desire to vote choosing who runs the country.

We walked down the aisle to Storybook Love by Mark Knopfler. I think the recessional was Walking on Sunshine ... maybe, and our first dance was This Year's Love by David Gray

Yes and no. I have a pretty good idea of the nutritional value of most things. The only place I do potentially see it being useful are those times when you think you're eating healthy by getting the salad on the menu, but really you could have gotten something that looks significantly tastier for the same calories. Salads with dressing can be a toss up

My boss wears flip flops during the summer. I live in flip flops, so his man toes don't offend me. The time he accidentally wore two different flip flops (same company different, but similar strap pattern) did offend me and I was forced to make fun of him all day

DPNs are very slowly growing on me. They can be cumbersome and fiddly at the beginning, but the more I force myself to use them instead of going the magic loop route, the more I find them growing on me.

1. Favorite current hobbies - knitting, pottery, photography
1.5 Hobbies that straddle favorite and past because you're lazy - Baking
2. Past hobbies you don't keep up with anymore - Ironing errr I mean sewing, but the ironing and cutting are the issues with that hobby. I love the actual sewing part.
3. Future hobbies you'd like to take up - I'm not completely decided, but I think something with wood, glass or drawing/painting, but the drawing/painting would involve me finding a class for people that currently can only draw stick figures

It shouldn't get in the way of putting on make up. Honestly within 10 minutes of having mine it was exactly as it is 11 years later. There was never any redness or discomfort, so in a few weeks you should be able to do anything you want around it without issue.
I also started taking mine out right away for a hot minute at a time
