Once upon a Time
Here and There
In the real Castro Bisztro it would be beer/wine/champagne and talk.
Here it is just talk.
But hang on, we are planning on distributing beers soon!

there are several things that I don't understand:
1. why isn't it multiple choice
2. if we should treat "long-term" and "happy" together as an axiom rather than a paradox.
So, maybe all of the mentioned activities, plus a lot more. Or, from a different approach - nothing from your list so when they do something together by chance, they are instantly very happy. I have tried both extremes and they were both working long-term. But happinness is a different issue.
OK. More explanation for these peaky scientist around here :))
There was a questionnaire made among couples who rated their marriage to be "excellent".
Of course they do a lot of things together, but one of the above mentioned activities seemed to be more relevant than the rest.
So, there is one BEST answer to this question, and I'm just curious which one do you think it is.
That's it ! I voted, I voted ! Now, guess my vote! (this could be a second poll: "What do you think tarelle voted for?" No cheating!
I know what Lynx voted for, is that cheating?
No, it's not... If you want to know what exactly cheating means, go there and download episode 1.
I particularly recommend episode 9, too. Very, very funny.
Could someone please tell me the correct answer to this poll -- I really want to know! (Just in case...)
I actually voted by deduction (what people might answer in Canada) and not out of conviction...and I would also love to know the answer!!! Come on, nana :-)
OK.
I don't wait for the rest to vote.
The right answer was: COOKING!
I was surprised and disappointed. That is what we don't do from together, almost never. I don't even like when somebody is around while I'm cooking. Is it a bad sign?
By the way, what do you think, is it the reason or the consequence of being happily married?
For Tarelle: did you vote for having bath together?
What a turnoff! Geez. I thought about anything BUT this.
But I've done some thinking and now I have a theory. Because most people are like you, nanaimo (me included) it is a very special thing to be able to cook together: it requires tons of tolerance, good coordination, patience, self-control, sacrifice and devotion to the task and to the partner, etc etc. If you can do that, you can do anything.
(It actually occurs to me now that tarelle is the first human being I let close to the kitchen while I am cooking - he should be scared :-D )
yeah, sounds like a feasible theory :)
I will work on it (I mean the coordination and devotion stuff).
I was honoured, really, and I still am, rather than scared. But let me tell you what scares me really. It is this tendency among certain (especially French) couples to let the woman do the usual daily cooking and when it comes to the real thing, the male goes to cook and impresses the guests with his cookery skills. The worst part comes when the lady, completely submissive, declares
herself so happy that her man can cook so well.
This is just as scary as the good old countryside habit (which you still can see in certain places) where the women would serve the men and wouldn't eat with them, waiting at a respectable distance for filling glasses. Then, it was the plain, well-known domination of males over females. Now it is the even more despicable view that women should be in charge of the internal affairs and men of the external, social relations.
Fortunately, there still are some people that balance the roles, act in harmony, and sometimes even take a bath together!
:)
That is weird, officially (scientifically) women are responsible for social affairs, building the "horizontal network" which stabilizes the society.
I feel some slave-like attitude in women who are willing to share the tasks this way. It seems to became an instinct, since it's happening over and over again, it just comes in different forms. Equity doesn't seem to be a natural habit of humans.
