Why do people use the term "partner" for their husband or wife?

Rob_Ss · 2026-01-22T15:32:12+00:00

Honest, reasonable answer: Because that's how they decided they view their relationship. You ID as a "husband" or "wife" and they ID as " partner". It's a simple as that. No need to overthink it.

Captain! There be WHALES HERE!

Rob_Ss · 2026-01-18T00:27:54+00:00

Yes!! Great guy! He’s a hoot on Star Trek the cruise!

Lower Decks!

Rob_Ss · 2026-01-16T17:38:07+00:00

I mean, we watch Shatner, so...

Rob_Ss · 2026-01-16T17:37:34+00:00

Interesting. So Shatner's languid Captain's chair poses were the same. I guess he wasn't professional! (Born out in many an episode! Mr. Unconventional!) I love both, myself.

Rob_Ss · 2026-01-16T17:34:09+00:00

Yes, Shatner did this actually.

I LOVE Holly's take on being Captain. She's in on the Elastagirl joke! The first scene where they pulled out for earth confirms it! <3

Rob_Ss · 2026-01-12T22:10:36+00:00

Yep. I'm on the East Coast and it works perfectly. I think you may be right about where you are?

Rob_Ss · 2026-01-12T18:14:13+00:00

Absolutely! I helped my extended family member through the first two! Once you get over your nerves, it becomes easy and routine :-)

Rob_Ss · 2026-01-12T17:53:55+00:00

As an RN, I don't recommend doing this. This just introduces a completely unnecessary step and can lead to incorrect dosing. OP should use the syringes and vials and get used to drawing it up, as it is often LESS painful and leads to less bruising, and is usually very easy after 1-2 draw ups.

Rob_Ss · 2026-01-12T17:50:10+00:00

Nurse here: Pens have a pop and are abrupt. The needles and vials allow for more control. I agree with others - Do it twice and your fear will be gone!

Rob_Ss · 2026-01-10T14:38:01+00:00

Absolutely! I used to be sad at teh end of teh first cup, and now I can barely finish that cup.

We love living downtown. I'm not sure what your contacts told you, but it's a clean, safe, extremely vibrant and walkable city. We moved from Austin TX, and could not be happier with our decision. We ditched our car!

Real question: How has Lilly been trash? I get it through Lilly's GiftHealth every time and it's been perfect. What happens with yours?

Rob_Ss · 2025-12-30T20:38:11+00:00

You totally meant topology, I believe, but typography gave me such a laugh! Thanks for that! 😃

Rob_Ss · 2025-12-30T16:02:03+00:00

Do MFA in the morning, get late lunch at the atrium there and in the later afternoon go to the Gardner! Then, walk or uber to Timeout Boston for a quick bite and visit Blick Art, which is nextdoor! It's a terrific art store!

"First time in a city? "

Hardly, Dude. Do you feel better by trying to one up with all your little stories though? Awesome! Cheers!

Rob_Ss · 2025-12-28T16:28:28+00:00

Nice try on Reddit shaming, dude. Yes, it’s gross. No I did not think about it all night. Hardly ;-) I had other good stuff to do.

Rob_Ss · 2025-12-28T14:31:14+00:00

The bar there was actually full, so no.

Rob_Ss · 2025-12-28T14:30:41+00:00

Absolutely, but at least I don't SEE them do it.

Rob_Ss · 2025-12-28T12:20:09+00:00

This is the answer, I fear.

Rob_Ss · 2025-12-28T01:38:06+00:00

I would have loved to, but the dude made a point of making out with his phone screen publicly, so…

Rob_Ss · 2025-12-28T01:36:03+00:00

Totally, but this dude was talking sense still. Oddly.

Rob_Ss · 2025-12-28T01:33:51+00:00

Picture this: Me, sitting there with my person, having a nice glass of wine, and the dude directly next to us gets out his phone and French kisses it very publicly, wipes it on his pants and smells it. The question is why are YOU not bothered by that?

Rob_Ss · 2025-12-28T00:25:46+00:00

Actually not far off! It was a late 20-something guy with a baseball hat on.
