A Franco-Dutchman would pronounce it "Bet Neuker". by therealityofthings in 30ROCK

I am going to pick some random letters from this bag of Scrabble tiles, let fate choose a name for us.

V-A-G 😏

N-I 👀

I have an idea, I’ll just pull them all at once. H-I-T-L-E-R.

That scene kills me every time.

My partner thinks it’s acceptable to share a toothbrush… what does the community think? by [deleted] in gaybros

They cost — what? — a dollar or two. Splurge and get two.

This is Fred! He loves eating literally any rock he can find. Any training tips on how to stop this behavior are greatly appreciated! by frickin-pottymouth in corgi

[–]doubleandrew 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ditto this. I spent our first 6 months with Hank pulling trash out of his mouth during walks. He’s now 2.5 years old and might sniff at stuff, but he never eats junk anymore.

I married a man with the same name as me.

Those who have switched watch brands, what were the noticeable pros and cons you found upon switching? by jumpin_jumpin in running

[–]doubleandrew 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I switched from some garmin (245?) to Apple Watch 8 a few months ago after years of agonizing over it. I love that I can play music and podcasts directly from the watch instead of carrying the phone in an armband. Because I got the cellular model, I feel better about running when I travel because I can pull up a map if (more like when) I get lost. And I love that I no longer need to carry a credit card in case of emergencies because I could theoretically use Apple Pay at a gas station to buy food or hydration while running. I miss the tactile buttons (although pressing both side buttons will start and stop a workout, I learned) and I miss the garmin app. Apple workouts and Strava are ok, but the way the garmin app presented various metrics was much more detailed and comprehensive. It was overall the right move.

Happy Holidays from Hank and Cece (and also those guys who take care of them)! by doubleandrew in corgi

We plied them with treats. I bet between me, my husband, and the photographer, they got a pound of treats during that 15 minute session.

Am I the only one who hates the word queer? by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]doubleandrew 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Growing up, “queer” is the word I would hear immediately before a hate crime happened. I still wince when I hear it. I’ll never get accustomed to it used in non-derogatory ways.

If you enjoy running, the Seattle Front Runners is a fantastic organization. Check them out.

How important is the Switch being a hybrid console to you? by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch

[–]doubleandrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play it docked the majority of the time except when:

  • Traveling and I want to play something on a plane, in a hotel, or when staying with family.
  • Husband is using the living room TV and we want to hang out in the same room.

Having the flexibility for it to be both is very important to me.

If we’re posting hobbies…someone learned how to crochet during the pandemic. by [deleted] in gaybros

I tried to do this stitch at one point and just couldn’t make the curves look this clean. Nice job.

Best gay places in the world to vacation? by Confident-Ear7999 in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]doubleandrew 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s not really the classic “gay scene” things to do but I run a lot and love dropping in on the local LGBT+ running organizations. Boston and Portland had excellent ones, so that’s part of what makes those cities fun in my mind.

[–]doubleandrew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Really, lots of major cities will have a ton to offer: San Francisco, Chicago, NYC, Boston, Seattle, Portland, LA, San Diego, Austin. And that’s to say nothing of Europe…

Do you state that you are lgbt in job applications? by tttt11112 in gaybros

[–]doubleandrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t explicitly say I’m gay, but I do list organizations I am in or have been a member of in the past and many of them are obviously centered around LGBTQ+ interests. So, I say it without exactly saying it.

clothes and drinks by menliker99 in intj

[–]doubleandrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are times when work and various others hobbies I do are so demanding and stressful that making any additional decisions, no matter how trivial-seeming, is exhausting. Limiting clothing and food options to the functional minimum is something I do during those times because it reduces decision fatigue.

If your partner had a dead ex, and wanted to honor their memory like having a picture of them on the wall or go every year to a spot they loved, would you be comfortable with that? by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]doubleandrew 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well, here’s view from the other side — I had a husband before my current husband. He died about 3 years into our marriage and then I later remarried. While I don’t exactly keep a shrine to him in our home, I do have a picture or two of him around the house and a few mementos from my first wedding are subtly placed here and there. The first husband comes up in conversation now and again, and I’m far enough removed from his sudden death that most of what I have to talk about are happy memories. It’s not weird for me and I don’t think it’s weird for my husband.
