^ I can barely stand eating the same thing 3 times in a row, let alone every single day! Hell, I have to have at least 4 different types of cuisine each week at least lol.

Do you make it or is there a particular brand you like?
No, I don't make it. I can't remember which brand I currently have. There are several I've used. I don't think I've had any bad ones.

And sometimes, it's the reverse. I remember doing something that I didn't do, as opposed to doing something and forgetting that I did it.

I will go to the refrigerator in the morning, take out the lunch I made, put it in the tote bag, get everything else ready, grab my bag and get ready to leave...and then I notice my lunch is sitting on the kitchen counter. I KNOW I PUT IT IN MY BAG. I "REMEMBER" DOING IT. But the gnomes took it out of the bag and put it on the kitchen counter!

I must be a geezer.

1. I love going to the library (too)
2. I love going to the museums (science especially)
3. I love hiking at night, walking underneath the stars
4. I'm nightowl all the way
5. I love art, and appreciate looking at life in an artistic way- I notice and feel subtle feelings about new experiences and able to see beauty in the decay.
6. I like gardening and suck at it by try at anything organic/heirloom lol
7. I wish I lived on another planet and born to a prior generation, time travel would be awesome!!
8. I dislike boba
9. I question things way too much
10. As much as I dislike some people, I can understand from their perspective how they've become the way they are and don't fault them but I'm no mother Teresa so I'm not going to sit there and solve their problems or help save them, thank you very much.

1) The brand new car I got as a birthday present back in high school is almost half my age.. and it's still my primary vehicle (now with almost 190K miles.)

2) I'm a guy and I rarely watch sports.

3) As a Millennial, I love 80s music and music after the 2000s.. never really liked the 70s or 90s.

4) But most of the time, I'll listen to audiobooks on my 1.5 - 2 hour round trip commute.

5) I don't pay much attention to the political party when voting.. and it turns out, I pick Democrats and Republicans in roughly equal proportions each time. In other words, political party loyalty is a completely foreign concept to me.

6) I don't like porn.. well, at least 99% of the porn out there. I find girls in lingerie and swimsuits sexier than nude.

7) I save and invest almost half of my take home pay each month, and I usually only leave about $1000 - 3000 in my bank account at all times.

8) I like to go ahead and just do something rather than ask for permission first unless it could get me in serious trouble or the "benefits" are not that worthwhile.

9) I loved Crystal Pepsi and have waited decades for its return.

10) I require at least 6.5 hours a sleep at night or else I'll literally feel ill the next day even with coffee.

I don't think you are different from most people with the last one! How many people function well on less than 6.5 hours of sleep? Yes, I know, a few people are going to jump in now and say how they only require four, or how they haven't slept now in about eight years and never feel tired, but MOST people don't function well on less than 7 hours of sleep or so.

I think for me the cut off is about 5 hours: any less and I feel almost as tired as if I had none. Above 5 and I'm okay.

I'm not putting down those with tattoos. I've seen some beautiful artful pieces and yes, tattoos have been around forever. I'm talking about the trend that has blown up within the past several years. It's almost become obligatory to have at least one tattoo. Now it's more unique to have a blank canvass.

Haha, so true. I actually do enjoy some tattoos and I've seen some great ones (and some terrible ones) but my siblings and I joke how rare it is that none of us have them while nearly all of our friends have at least 1.

Given how similar people are to each other, it would be easier to list 10 things where we're like each other.

1. I like math and science

2. I have two masters degrees

3. I had my kids in my late 30's

4. My dh is 12 years older than me

5. My little toe on my right foot is double jointed

6-10. ....I got nuthin....

I live in the same kind of house as my neighbors, drive the same kinds of cars they do (same price range), work a job, earn close to the average income for a family of 4 in my area when I include dh's social security (I used to earn a lot more but not anymore), can't afford vacations, send my kids to public school, shop in the same malls, wear the same kinds of clothes, etc, etc, etc... I'm a lot more like my neighbors and not like them. That's the case for most of us as any fortune teller will tell you if they're honest. They're not good guessers. They're good at putting people into the little pocket they belong in BECAUSE we're more like the people we live and work with than unlike them.
