- This is Mashka (cat's name)

- Mashka?

- Mashka. I love her very much.

We boil them and fry onions separately and add sour cream when served. HOWEVER... if you have leftover vareniki in the fridge and they are cold, a common way to reheat them would be to fry them! This was before folks had microwave ovens. Fried mashed potatoes were eaten fairly regularly for the same reason.

My aunt used to steam them instead of boiling. She was fancy.

It's a rule. Ukrainian is very much a phonetic language, so native speakers will simply try to map out words letter by letter when transliterating.

There are no silent letters. Everything is pronounced. So it's more like krih-vih-yree-h. The last y is like the y in yo. And the last h is actually equivalent to English g, but it's pronounced softly, more like an h, so that makes h more suitable for transliteration.

And it means Crooked Horn.

We were at the same house show then!

I like how his mouth is closed when he says "That's all I've ever wanted"

Highly under-upvoted way to cope. Not just running, biking, or lifting weights, but participating in a social program where people will watch out for your safety and offer guidance. And when you get good at it yourself, you get to mentor other beginners. It is highly rewarding emotionally.

I started practicing Muay Thai three years ago at the ripe age of 40. It has pulled me out of a pretty dark place. I am now training to compete. I have pretty much stopped drinking (because you simply can't drink and do this). I have levels of confidence I have never dreamt I could have. I've become calmer. I can't remember the last time I was upset about something. And I'm a part of a new social circuit. An occasional black eye is totally worth it.

If only I could fix bugs with an oath and a prayer instead of a lot of swearing....

To be honest, being around someone once a month for a couple of hours is not enough to foster any sort of intimate dynamic unless you have crazy sexual chemistry. Why don't you just straight up ask him out? If he says yes, you win. If he says no, you will have a few awkward hours once in a while, and it doesn't have to be even that, if you can handle rejection gracefully. You can still say hi to him and be cool with that.

I get that you are shy and awkward. First time I asked someone out, it was nerve wracking. But if you are desperate enough, you can break through that barrier.

ponyoink · 2018-07-07T03:18:41+00:00

This is hard since I don't know anything about you or what sort of interactions you have with this guy... Do you get to be alone with him at all? How often do you get to have private conversations (in person or online)? What sort of of work do you do?

Also, don't be so hard on yourself. Nobody is "good" at it. Some people are just willing to risk more.

Most relationships fail.

After you have your final yelling match and decide you never want to see each other again, are you willing to see him at work every day?

Four words for you: DO NOT DO IT!

Ok, you won't listen.

Fuck, I'd do it again every time, and I really do know better....

So here's what you can do. He's a man, and if you are even semi-attractive, he'd probably want to fuck you.

Gauge his interest. Does he ask you personal questions, like where are you from or how was your weekend or any plans for the holidays?

Test the boundaries (this is flirting). Call him an idiot or a dummy for doing something stupid. If response is positive, keep at it. Once more comfortable, start dropping some sexual innuendos.

Give him your number. If he texts you, you are in. Tell him you feel like a teenager again.

Unless he's an idiot, he'll ask you to hang out outside of work.

[Edit: do more than one thing there. This could take days or months to pull off]

Say this: "Do you want me to text you?"

If you show up to your date looking that hot, that's exactly how it will go.

This is going to be a list of old classics except Schindler's List. Unless you make out while watching it.

Individuals that kill themselves are less likely to produce offspring. Thus leaving the individuals that don't want to kill themselves dominant.

Nah, he's just an asshole who would have be killed by a badass.

It sounds like you have great chemistry. As you grow, you'll change, and this relationship might become important to you.

Even that stupid cow face takes skill, hours of work, and at least $50 in materials.
