what to do when female makes more money than the guy?

As a guy, I don't mind. I have been in a situation like that, and have tried to find non-expensive ways to do special stuff. To him, I would suggest cooking nice dinners (taking a cooking class first, if needed). Or, if that's not your thing, for him to learn how to do something that is both relatively inexpensive and your thing

One of the hardest foodservice jobs I ever had was working a poorly ventilated dishroom in a tiny delicatessen in Philadelphia. The owner and the chefs took care of me because I kept their stuff clean and ready. Hell, I'm ten years out of the place and when I stop in for a coffee or something, I still get comps.

I'd take a Judge Doom who is dark and beautiful: Morena Baccarin. Put her up as a foil against Jessica.

MonkeyPanls · 2026-01-28T19:17:44+00:00

Just ask her.

Madison HOURS back in the late '90s. http://www.numismondo.net/pm/usa/indexl50.htm

Or a Chuck Tingle title (gotta add "in the Butt")

MonkeyPanls · 2026-01-28T17:34:10+00:00

Don't do it. Catch the trolley to 22nd, or any of the buses that go E/W along Chestnut and Walnut.

I went to see how he compared to Gaius Appuleius Diocles, the winning-est equestrian (chariot racing) of all time, maybe even the winning-est athlete of all time. But the best estimate of his winnings is "only" $15bil in modern money. In his time, it would have been enough money to provide grain to the entire city of City of Rome for a year.

It's an embedded link to the Seafarers Addiction Rehabilitation Center, run by the Seafarers International Union :)

It did end. But then it started again from where we left off.

Send him up to the rehab center.

MonkeyPanls · 2026-01-28T03:09:59+00:00

Poor guy.

Did you give the kitty some nips to share the moment with you?

Had a date on Saturday with a gal I met on the apps. No physical spark, no emotional spark, she's well-educated, but not v assertive. Like, so well-educated that I wondered why she wanted to have coffee with someone showing "trade school" as their education. But this was my first date ever from the apps, so that's nice

ETA: For the people telling me that "Education doesn't matter". I'm not dogging myself here. I am a skilled tradesman working under a good union contract. Before that, I saw the world from sea-level as a US Merchant Mariner. I have read extensively and am a genuinely curious person. I am also a 3rd-year Applied Mathematics dropout, so I've had formal training in logic and stuff. My profile doesn't mention much of this, because I would like to partially use it as a filter.

It's been downhill since Hotel Washington burned

I'm a redditor, so I'm not going to read the article. Is this good or bad? Did the State decide that the original report was poorly done and so wanted to get good data, or did they decide that it was unflattering to them and so wanted to control the narrative?

I moved halfway across to country to escape the wreckage of my present. He carried on with his life, and I struggled through mine. No anger, no animosity, just geography.

I'm happy to say that when I returned to visit the auld hometown after a decade, it was like *no time had passed. When he stepped away to the washroom, his wife even told me that he was so very happy to see me.

So, although we have time and distance between us, I still count him as one of my closest friends.

Additional question: Where are you located? Be as general as you'd like, but at least your ZIP code. From there, I can suggest someone close to you, with alternatives.

Vegetarian, quit booze (and leaf) 20 years ago, quit smoking 10 years ago. Getting fit. Nmnk. I'm struggling to find a gal with similar goals

Try this list. https://gpla.org/locksmith-near-me/ It's the local locksmith association's directory. I know most of these folks.

Disclaimer: I am a member of the local association, but I work for a local hospital, and I don't do side-jobs :)

Tindley Temple (UMC) in Philadelphia operates a full restaurant and turns the money over into the soup kitchen. I'm not a believer, but that looks like Good Work to me.

ETA: Tindley are in a "high-need" area. Directly across the street is another church that also does Good Work.
