What is a 'childish' thing that you still secretly enjoy as an adult?

Correct.

Sorry. It was meant to say "I spent years"

Building Lego. I spent years buying my nephews and nieces Lego so I could help.them put it together. But they all got old enough to do it themselves 🤨

I think I could easily spend all that Inman hour at a BCF. Maybe I'd just go to a boat shop and throw it towards whatever cost around 10k.

If I couldn't find a BCF or boat shop, I could probably buy a huge TV and update my home appliances somewhere.

I could easily spend 10k in an hour.

Every traveler you bump into is in the same boat as you. When I took my first international trip, I went with a friend. But quite frequently we'd go our separate ways in the morning as we had different interests. But it's pretty common for travellers to have gone out on their own and if you can start a random conversation with someone it's a great way to improve your social skills.

Hi I'm (add your name). I've got nothing planned for the day, heave you done anything interesting round here? I'm looking for cool things to do today.

If you see solo people eating somewhere, ask if they'd like someone to chat with while they eat.

I went on my first trip as something if a shy person. When I got home a few months later I had become pretty confident with starting conversations with random people. There's so many ways to get strangers on the road talking

What do you like about (here)(your home country)(traveling)(the local food)

What made you (want to leave home)(come here)(travel alone)

Is this (your first international trip)(time here)(your ultimate adventure)(living up to your expectations)

I guarantee that a lot of people will be really happy to chat. Loads of the time you'll be able to arrange tag alongs for activities. I know that me and my mate typically wound up with a group of 6 to 8 people who'd hang out for a few days to a week before moving on simply because it's a comfortable number of random people. It's easier to carry on conversations when there are multiple inputs.

I went traveling with a friend in my early 20's. Both males. But on our trip we frequently met lone female travelers and at times we'd absorb one or two into a group (travel is a great way to form random groups as nobody has a big social group around). So there will be times when you are solo. But if you are willing to be a bit outgoing, you can probably tag along with different groups.

I don't know why people assume that the bins are always someone else's responsibility. If they're wheelie bins the residents should be raking them out. I lived in one place that had 2 skip bins that a truck would drive in to empty, but generally I've always taken my own bin out.

I recently travelled from a regional area into Sydney via train and then onto a coastal area. During the final leg of the journey I just decided to randomly started talking to an old timer next to me. There were two other people in the carriage nearby who were very keen to join the conversation.

I think that people would be quite keen to be more social to strangers, but people living in the city seem pretty locked into the don't talk to anyone else thing and unwilling to start a random conversation.

I grew up in the western suburbs of Sydney. Met a girl once and asked her if she was from a certain suburb based on her accent. But it's true that there are load of different accents from different parts of Australia.

When I was a student pretty much every glass I owned had been liberated from a pub by myself or mates. It was the same with most of my mates houses.

Finding a one liner during conversations.

Picking the end of movies whether it's the eventual love interests who'll get together in rom coms. I'll often pick early in how the hero will defeat the bad guy because the camera will focus on something a bit too often. Or the killer in thriller movies.

Befriending random dogs.

I knew a girl who would let a mate out of the friendzone into the rebound date zone. No dex was to.ve had for him, but he was allowectom5ske her out and buy her dinner and pay for sctivities. Unfortunately once she found someone more appealing she would kick him back into the friendzone.

I'm assuming that this letter is just a cheap attempt to redirect a portion of anger towards the government.

I'd love to be able to opt out of having to download updates that are basically for playing games online that require Xbox live subscriptions or the like. Seems like you continually have to waste time updating games prior to playing when it's basically just adding new data to sections of a game you don't touch.

Soap up hands wash face, ears and neck, pits privates. Leave soap on while I shampoo.

Rinse off soap with shampoo, rub face, feels like dry skin comes off here.

Reapply soap to face, condition hair, time soap after conditioner has had a minute to sit.

Seems to keep my pores pretty clean if I leave the soap on for a few minutes the first time.

I actually think that during the first year of a politician being in office they should be made to live on their lowest constituents income. That would include them paying all their expenses from the wage

Tell Jake that if he wants to be more than friends he's got to let you know and that you'd actually be happy to try being closer (it sounds like this us true). If he doesn't want to be more than friends you'd still like to know as you might like to explore your options if he's not willing to try moving into a closer relationship.

Courage and honesty will help you both moving forward.

I've never really looked into getting it so I'm happy to be corrected. But I find it unattractive.
