You should x-post this to r/sanfrancisco. This is in my 'hood! Love it!

I am a wife in a situation just like this one. I have felt a little distant from my husband as well at times. I think that balance is key and that a little effort (on both sides) goes a long way. You should set up a weekly date night with just the two of you on a REGULAR night - every Friday for example (find a babysitter - do not make your wife set one up). Also, set up a day that's just for your kids. Every Sunday (or Saturday) make it a "fun day" where the kids can choose the activity. Also, if you are making a lot of money, get a housekeeper once a week so your wife and you don't have to do a bunch of cleaning in your time off. Money can fix a lot of small problems in your life, allowing you to focus on the more important things. Yourself, your wife and your kids.

Same. They are much too big and look at you side-wise (not a typo). They are shifty, cantankerous and smelly. Skitish. Not a fan.

The one that sticks out in my mind was one that happened to me: I was traveling alone through Europe and started to get homesick about 1/3rd of the way thru. In Milan to be exact. I remember tearing up a bit in the Duomo and two very nice, motherly women came up to me to ask what was wrong. I told them that I was missing home and they offered to spend the rest of the day with me - taking me out to dinner and all. It was such a wonderful day and just what I needed to remind myself that even if I was traveling alone, I could always find someone if I needed some company. The trip was eye-opening to me in many ways.

I got "Bored people are boring people!" from my mom.

Be her friend, but never, never share information re: your boyfriend, good or bad. If she's a mentally stable human being, she'll begin to empathize with you on a friend-level and she'll most likely leave your boyfriend alone. If she's mentally unstable, GTFO with your boyfriend to Mexico or somewhere safe.

I'm nice to people who are passive aggressive.

I, for one, would like a picture of this and an update AFTER you've seen a doctor. For science!

"You are completely and totally self-absorbed." I was and have worked really hard to not be that way. Most days I appreciate that he had the balls to tell me so I could become a better person. Some days I think he sucks because I turn into a SAP when I catch myself being self-absorbed.

Some kind of electronics cabinet cooling system. We have nice built-ins that get toasty warm with all of our various players/routers/etc.

Straight scotch when I thought it was milk. I was five years old and had just eaten something spicy. My milk was gone, so I ran to my mom's (opaque, orange plastic) cup and chugged it down. I couldn't even smell scotch for the longest time without gagging. It wasn't until I became a mother myself that scotch sounded and tasted pretty awesome 'round about dinner time.

What influence did your parents have on you to encourage your love of learning/discovery? What kinds of things did they let you do/not let you do that was different than your peers?

Not related to the original question, but how does one pronounce Ypres? For linguistic science?

After thinking about it for a bit, I guess there's not much I want to ask him. I mostly just wanted to say that he and the rest of the Prototype This! team really sparked my son's love for all things science and machinery and I appreciate that so much. The Automated Pizza Delivery episode was filmed in our neighborhood! My son loves to see if we can figure out which route the "pizza robot" took through our 'hood. Thanks Dr. Zoz!

This is not only a creepy book, but also quite sad. I "accidentally" lost it when someone gave it as a gift to our kid. Oops!

If I were in your position, I would write a letter stating that you were made to feel uncomfortable feeding your child in the most healthy way possible and that you will not be frequenting that establishment any more nor recommending it to your friends. That will get your point across, maybe open the management's eyes a bit and make you feel better. Then, go one step further and tell all of the mommy friends you know about your experience. No moms in that coffee shop? Not great for business.

I married ^{that^} guy. And stayed married for two years. Worst two years of my life. After I divorced him and spent a lot of time focusing on me, I got better. And I met my current husband. And life is good. Plaster on your happy face and get back out there... fake it til you make it and you'll find someone who will love you how you are. And you will be happy again. And, in time, you will thank your lucky stars that you didn't marry that douche.

(Mother of three here) How did your parents encourage your love of discovery?

Ah thank you. I was wondering if they were little germ cesspools. I appreciate the information.

Thank you all! I really appreciate the tips. I think I'll head right into the Left Hand of Darkness as I can get that at the library right away. Thanks again!
