1. Wheee!
1) Clean house and cook good meals
2) 3. 10 years for two. 7 for my wife.
3) I bought a used Mac for 175.
4) It, like all other chores is shared equally by both my wife and I. We do all chores together at the same time. Thus, we've never once had a fight about who's pulling more weight or who's not doing their chores.
5) We both do. The rule is whoever does not cook, does the dishes. We both love to cook and are good cooks so it works out.

12. Answers given under duress (no, not really).
"1. What are your weekend plans?"
I have to write a letter as 'homework' for my shrink. I gotta do it, but it will probably be rather unpleasant. I have "issues." I am not and never have been crazy.

"2. How many really close friends do you have? and for how long have you known them?"
Two. One since high school (class of '86) and my Sweetie since 1991.

"3. What was your last expensive purchase?"
You had to ask. Last week I traded in my S&W target pistol for a 17-shot Beretta 90-TWO while they are still legal. The handle on the target gun never felt comfortable to me. The new one is a lot better.

"4. Who does the laundry in your house?"
Laundry? Oh, we have to WASH the clothes! Well that explains why they smell so bad. Actually, whoever feels like doing it.

"5. Who does the cooking?"
Marco's Pizza

33. Fuck yeah!
Hell, I don't plan to leave the main stage on Sunday - Lupe, Explosions In The Sky, the Roots, Willie Nelson, Manu Chao, and most importantly - RATM!!! This is my first Coachella and I have a feeling that it's going to be the best ever!

Saturday I plan to alternate between the tents and I especially am going to make a point of seeing Tom Morello's new solo act.

38. Also on Sunday:
Against Me! and Happy Mondays. No way I could miss either of them.

Saturday's got the New Pornographers and LCD Soundsystem, not to mention Kings of Leon.

Friday's actually realtively weak, comparatively.

Anyway, have fun!

At least until the Roots start playing.

Friday is pretty week, but I plan to see Stephen Marley, the Arctic Monkeys, Of Montreal, Interpol, Sonic Youth, and Gogol Bordello (not much of a Bjork fan).

22. Friday Afternoon Answers!
1. What are your weekend plans?
Tomorrow I'm going to the gym, then doing laundry, then going to a poker game, then doing more laundry, then going to the Pompano Beach Seafood Festival, then to a bar for a benefit concert for a local musician who was in a car wreck. Whew! Long day. And then, just like God, on Sunday, I rest.

2. How many really close friends do you have? and for how long have you known them?
About a dozen. Known them for various lengthsd, obviously, but the longest is probably 10 years. I'm not friends with anyone from my childhood still — my family moved around too much for that.

3. What was your last expensive purchase?
A 1.5-liter bottle of Chivas Regal last night ran me $54. That count?

4. Who does the laundry in your house?
Obviously from question No. 1, that would be me. My fiancee does it occasionally, but not often.

5. Who does the cooking?
Usually her, unless we're grillin'.

I have three really close friends: my best friend from home; I've known her 42 years (met summer before kindergarten), my best friend from college; I've known her 29 years (met freshman year), and my best friend post-college; met her at my last job 17 years ago.

3. What was your last expensive purchase? New bed; I bought it last week and it was delivered yesterday. Mmmmm....it's wonderful.

4. Who does the laundry in your house? I do, because I don't stuff everything into one overpacked load, wash it at the wrong temperature, then act sincerely astonished when it shrinks and all the colors run.

5. Who does the cooking? Mostly me, again, because I can get all the food on the table at the same time without acting like it's a feat of Hercules. When he cooks, you get one course at a time; in the order that they are ready and he spends the entire meal running between the table and stove.

44. Happy Friday, lioness!
1. My brother and I are going to go over to my mother's house and mow, weed and edge the backyard. She's getting to old to do the job herself.
2. I don't really have that many close friends. I've always been a pretty shy guy, and have avoided close attachments. Case in point: I have very few friends who are closer to me than my friends here at DU; that should tell you something. My wife is my best friend, and I've known her thirteen years.
3. Tickets for an Alaskan Cruise. We sail next Sunday! :woohoo::bounce::woohoo::bounce:
4. My wife does the washing & drying; I do the folding.
5. When we bother to cook at all, I usually do the entree (most often something grilled) and my wife does the dessert. (Usually one of her delicious pies. YUM! :9 )

47. Friday Night Answers
1. What are your weekend plans?

I'm working...filing my legal name change request, part. 3...filing for a passport renewal if successful. Hopefully talking to this amazing Kiwi I met the other day.

2. How many really close friends do you have? and for how long have you known them?

12. I actually met virtually all of them the same day...first day of college 9 years ago.

3. What was your last expensive purchase?

Renewal of my AFP membership.

4. Who does the laundry in your house?

My mommy. I don't want her doing my laundry...but if I don't give her my laundry, she uses it as an excuse to go rifling through my stuff. Being a hardcore fundamentalist catholic, she tends to do things like throw away my condoms and leave me confrontational notes about how they violate the love that Jesus has for me. I'm really glad she doesn't have the knowledge to realize what the "flower-vase with the pretty swirl pattern" is and what all the ropes and handcuffs are for. That'd be awkward. I'm not sure she believed me as-is when I told her that baggie in the closet was organic oregano.

5. Who does the cooking?

Everybody cooks for themselves. That's what happens when you have 4 people on 4 different life plans pertaining to diet.

Me-Veggie/sometimes vegan.
My brother - Organic
My mom- Only eats things that have no calories.
Stepdad- Eats whatever the hell he pleases.

53. Happy Friday, fellow DU'ers! Good questions, lioness -
- Going to a cookout with old friends on Saturday and driving to Denali National Park to take pictures on Sunday (hopefully, some caribou will be around).

- About 5 really close friends, and I've known most of them for over 10 years; some I've known for over 30.

- My Jeep.

- Both of us. Generally, I wash & dry, he folds and puts away.

- Mostly me because I love to cook. He's not beyond doing a lot of the prep, and the cleanup is all his.

Have a good weekend, everyone! :hug:
