I think everyone has their own opinions and ideas, and even in close couples, I think idealogical differences arise. So what's something you and your lover/spouse disagree on? Personally, my girlfriend and I haven't found much...

Penfencer Definitely sounds like it could be an issue. I've had a similar problem in a previous relationship where I was working and my girlfriend-at-the-time did not have a job.

If you had to choose one decision, which would you say is the hardest one you've ever had to make? This is a difficult question for me, as I've never really stewed over decisions. I think most of the major decisions in my life,...

Penfencer I can see how that would be a difficult decision. Glad you're satisfied with the way it turned out, though.

We've all seen them when travelling: a car, broken on the side of the road with the hood up and someone trying to fix it. Have you ever stopped to help any of these people? Or do you usually pass by, expecting that someone else...

I know I'm really guilty of this. The power went out a few days, and I remember being completely and utterly bored. I found that I didn't have much in the way of activities that didn't require some sort of electrical power or...

Penfencer I think we'll see more and more of it as newer and faster technologies are developed. Granted, I think power systems and the like are more reliable now. I remember a lot less random power outages these days than when I was a kid, at least in my...

My blogging tends to very, but I try to post at least once a day. Sometimes I'll post 2-3 posts over the course of a single day, and sometimes I'll go almost a week without blogging. I suppose that's one of the virtues of having a...

Penfencer I do that sometimes. Though I've found that once you build up a certain degree of momentum, it's easier to post often.

So, I'm shocked. There's not a single topic about geocaching on myLot. Thus, I figure it's time to educate some folks. :) Geocaching is this really fun game you play using a handheld GPS navigator and a website...

Penfencer I know the feeling. I love travel bugs, too. I'm thinking of setting a few free later this year sometime. Possibly this summer.

Do you have a favorite flavor or brand of coffee? Lately, a lot of the coffee shops I go to (there's about 3-4 around here that I hop into now and again) have been serving a flavor called Jamaican Me Crazy, and I've got to say I'm...

Penfencer Breakfast blend is usually pretty good. I also have coffee in the evenings, but I'm a night owl, so no decaf for me.

Penfencer Ooh...turkish coffee is very good. A coffee shop that used to exist down home (it's closed now) was run by a Turkish woman, and I swear she could make the best coffee I'd ever had.

Penfencer It's a little hard to describe. It's lighter than most flavors: a mix of vanilla, caramel, and jamaican rum flavorings. It's got a powerful taste, but it's not overwhelming. Very little bitterness, and low acidity.

Penfencer I tend to use the day before to study, but I don't let myself study past a certain point in the evening, and usually do something else to distract myself after that, like read a non-academic book, play a videogame, or go for a walk or something.
