Solid clarification and expansion there.

For the sake of expanding on cultural/social differences in other places, here in South Korea, most folks i see on dating apps in their 30s are without kids.

It’s in the 30s that most relationships turn serious and get married.

I know two people here who got married in their 20s and had kids. Even the one who got married in their early 20s is open about how she maybe rushed into it.

My time in Canada supports everything you’ve said, mind you. If I hadn’t experienced life here in Korea for so many years, I’d probably wholeheartedly agree without realizing that without knowing where OP lives, it’s hard to describe what their potential dating windows are.

I finally got back to my Taboo generator spreadsheet to quickly create a set of words with related banned words for my classes to use when we do vocabulary reviews. Not only did I get the related words scraping off a database and filtering correctly, I also have it so I can select vocabulary by week, up to that week, and also display it in a printable page with cards for physical play.

Up next, I’m hoping to also tag on a word search generator for vocabulary words.

Spreadsheeting is fun!

This is entirely dependent on where you’re living. If you live in a large city, slim isn’t the word I’d use.

Also, not weird or abnormal in a lot of the world. Lots of areas in Asia value education before relationships and encourage someone to be self-sufficient before marrying.

Two, I’m fine. But I’m a giant. Four, especially if they’re beers, and my sleep quality tanks. Either unable to fall asleep altogether or terrible quality sleep. So I usually stay below that amount.

Disclaimer: Not a doctor, just guessing from life experience here.

Knee sideways/unsupported + gravity = achy knee. I’m absurdly tall, so my knees are never supported by chairs. After an hour or so of that, I’m in dire need of a proper stretch.

I have a distinct memory of walking out into the forest as a kid with my father, sibling, and dogs. I knew those woods like the back of my hand. I still know them well and could go back in and find distinct trees and paths.

But this memory had us crawl under a dense thicket of branches and we found ourselves face to face with a pack of wolves. Five of them. They all came out from over this mound ahead of us, one stood on top. The others moved around to the sides kind of or in-between us and the one on the mound.

I distinctly remember not being afraid. My dogs were calm. My family was calm. The wolves were at ease. I looked the one in front of us in the eyes and felt warmth. And then, one by one, they turned and left.

Ive tried to go back to the exact spot several times, but it’s not there. I’ve checked satellite imagery. I’ve gone through the other woods that my family frequented for hiking. Nothing.

So i dismissed it for many years (~20ish). It came back as a distant memory a few years ago and I asked my brother and sister if they’d remembered it. They didn’t. And I don’t remember which one was with me. So I went to ask my dad. As I started asking about it, he explained the rest of the memory. He, too, remembers it. But he also couldn’t find his way back there. It was my brother who was with us.

Neither of us can explain the situation.

There are several other things, but that’s one of my greatest life mysteries, for sure.
