| I have a Hello Kitty pair of scissors that I use all the time for cutting up food. I also have Hellow Kitty two surfboard clips that I used when I had cats. They would pull towels off the racks so I bought the clips to make it harder for them to do that! That is all I can remember. I have a lot of s... |

| Like many here, I often found it awkward to socialize for decades. But, I discovered when I changed my gender presentation from male to female, I could do things automatically and the other person would respond without confusion.

| An issue is having the proper print driver for your printer. I've recall having a Canon printer that didn't work for a while until they finally provided a driver for my semi-old operating system. Similarly, I have an old Nikon D70 camera. They have RAW software, but only for Win 10 and 11, so I boug... |

| I think dating sites only work for a few. They may be more useful if you are looking for something specific and are willing to start a long distance relationship and move to someplace new. Or live in a big city with a huge dating pool like Phiilly, Boston, or NYC. But not a smaller city like Hartfor... |

| NT women who could have supported a guy found out that the guys they married just didn't contribute the way women did in the past as homemakers. That was an experiment that failed. |

That's the message of the ad. But the OP is asking about intonation. Or am I being too literal?

Or, if that isn't possible, at least make a lot of money compared to similar guys. Getting a degree or trademan's license. Shows earning potential. Winning can help as well. ... |
