No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities.

Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

We've got the uber cable package so usually put on our favorite movies or shows and veg out cooking together and being silly. We both LOVE food so there's a lot of eating involved in spending time together. That can get expensive if we eat out so a lot of the time we'll bar-b-que together and such. I love making him things he likes but we never have around (cupcakes and peanut butter cookies) because he gets soo excited! We stay at home most of the time so that's not very expensive unless I'm doing online shopping and we prefer to just hang out around the house giving eachother a hard time and playing with the fur babies.

One very special thing we do together is work on his business project. Jeremy owns his own business along with a building and is working on renovating it so he can turn it into an apartment building. Usually, on the weekends, we go up there to work on things such as building frames, knocking walls down, putting up drywall, painting, etc. We help keep each other motivated and it's a lot of fun to help him.

We go the gym (we have to pay monthly dues, but it comes out to be really cheap.

We play Scrabble, Mastermind, or do crossword puzzles together. You can get through those easy when you have two brains.

Last weekend, we went vintage clothing shopping; he got a couple suit jackets, and I got a couple leather coats, for dirt cheap.

We cook a lot of meals that would be very expensive to order in a restaurant.

We have tickle sessions until we are both exhausted from laughing.

Well... all we have done so far...

Spent two Saturday evenings at my house watching hockey and studying. I had a test every Monday at work, and he has been working there since August so he was a big help.

I'm just finishing up training, my last test was on Monday so now I have my life back and we can start to do other things. I've known him since I was 14 but we just recently got back together.

The "learn to drive" one might happen, he has his Beginner's and drives automatic but my car is standard. I have had my license long enough to teach people.
